1/3/20 comparison of William Shakespeare's and Dan Jones's characterization of King John

Here is the link to my January 3, 2020, Twitter thread discussion about William Shakespeare's King John versus the King John depicted by historian Dan Jones in his book on the Magna Carta.

I don't think I totally agree with everything I've said in this thread. And, also, while I definitely don't agree with everything Dan Jones has said over the years, I also really don't think I was being fair to him in this thread.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.
