The index volume of the definitive scholarly edition of the Letters and Charters of Henry II, King of England 1154-1189.

King John ruled England for seventeen and a half years, yet his entire reign is usually reduced to one image: of the villainous monarch outmanoeuvred by rebellious barons into agreeing to Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215.
