About this episode
Nothing good is ever said about King John, a strong contender for the title of Worst Medieval King of England. Was the King who signed Magna Carta - albeit reluctantly - really as bad as history paints him?
Matt Lewis sets out to put the record straight with David Carpenter, Professor of Medieval History at King's College London.
