About This Novel
This book reviews the century-old tumultuous history of the early Plantagenet Dynasty by tracing the background, key factors, and main characters of the signing of the Magna Carta. From Henry II and the Lionheart to King John and Henry III, in addition to introducing the lives and major events of each king, it also analyzes their different ruling styles and relationships with the church, thereby illustrating how the conflicts between the king and the nobles developed, intensified, and finally broke out. This book also explains the later influence of Magna Carta, aiming to emphasize why Magna Carta became the pioneer of the Western constitutional system and fundamentally changed the history of England and the English-speaking nation.
