King John: Worst Medieval Monarch?

Gone Medieval

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.


Gone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis. The audio editor and producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
