King John was first printed in the 1623 Folio, where it was placed at the head of the histories, and since that text is the only authority for the play, all modern editions are based upon it.

Complexities of power and loyalty in King John, a historical play by William Shakespeare. Set against the backdrop of England’s turbulent politics, this gripping narrative explores the reign of King John, who faces internal betrayal and external threats. As he grapples with his own legitimacy and the loyalty of his nobles, the play delves into themes of authority, identity, and human frailty.
