King John: Annotated.

By: Shakespeare, William

King John is chillaxing on the English throne when a messenger from King Philip of France shows up and declares that John's claim to the throne is totally bogus. King Philip wants him to hand over the crown ASAP to John's young nephew, Arthur, who (probably) should have become king when Richard I died. King John is all, "Fat chance. I'm the rightful king. Prepare for war." He sends the French messenger packing. King John slaps his army together and sails to France for a big showdown with King Philip's forces outside the walls of Angers. The two kings try to negotiate but get nowhere fast, so the English and French armies go to war. The battle is a draw. Finally, the citizens of Angers come up with a better plan-King John's niece Blanche should marry King Philip's son Louis, creating an alliance between the two kingdoms.
