"The reign of England's King John is threatened by Philip of France who demand that John's nephew Arthur be placed on the throne. Pragmatic and decisive, King John moves to placate the French, but there are others who seek to dispute his authority."

"Shakespeare's rewriting of an anonymous dramatic treatment on the English king."@en
"Shakespeare's play about the efforts of England's King John to defend his throne against the claims of the Duke of Brittany."
"A dramatization of Shakespeare's historical drama in which three aspects of kingship are presented: a sovereign whose very title is suspect, his youthful rival (Arthur) whose better claim is made the pawn of scheming politicians, and a bastard son of royalty (Philip) who is compelled to exercise the kingly burden that the king himself cannot sustain."
"Shakespeare condensed events of the reign, expanded incidents for dramatic effect, completely rewrote the verse and adopted an attitude of dispassionate objectivity regarding the national and religious controversies. Shakespeare was not enthusiastic about the King, and shows his wickedness and weakness at the same time as raising Faulcon bridge, the bastard, from swaggerer to clear-eyed champion of England. He humanizes his characters, with scenes that exhibit them under emotional stress."@en
