Lionheart and Lackland : King Richard, King John and the wars of conquest
McLynn, Frank2007
Books, Manuscripts
In a substantial narrative, the author turns the tables on modern revisionist historians by showing exactly how bad a king John was, and in contrast how impressive Richard was - brilliantly successful in war, acomplished artistically and the nearest we are likely to get to the medieval ideal of chivalry.
