King John (play)

Herbert Beerbohm Tree (1852–1917), as King John in 'King John' by William Shakespeare, Charles A. Buchel (1900)

The Life and Death of King John, often shortened to King John, a history play by William Shakespeare, dramatises the reign of John, King of England (ruled 1199–1216), the son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine and the father of Henry III. It is believed to have been written in the mid-1590s, but it was not published until 1623 in the First Folio.[1]
