John Lackland is a historical biography written by Kate Norgate and published in 1902. The book is a detailed account of the life and reign of King John, who ruled England from 1199 to 1216. Norgate delves into John's troubled relationship with his father, King Henry II, and his struggles to maintain power and legitimacy during his own reign. The author also explores John's controversial actions, such as his disputes with the Church and his loss of territories in France. Norgate's writing is well-researched and provides a thorough examination of John's life, character, and impact on English history.
