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. Ever since, John has come to be seen as an archetypal tyrant. But how evil was he? In this perceptive short account, Nicholas Vincent unpicks John's life through his deeds and his personality. The youngest of four brothers, overlooked and given a distinctly unroyal name, John seemed doomed to failure. As king, he was reputedly cruel and treacherous, pursuing his own interests at the expense of his country, losing the continental empire bequeathed to him by his father Henry and his brother Richard and eventually plunging England into civil war. Only his lordship of Ireland showed some success. Yet, as this fascinating biography asks, were his crimes necessarily greater than those of his ancestors - or was he judged more harshly because, ultimately, he failed as a warlord?

King John long ago acquired the epithet 'Bad,' and he is reputed to be the worst of England's kings. Before his death in 1216, his desperate exploitation of his subjects for ever more money had turned him into the mythical monster of Hollywood legend. In marked contrast to his brother Richard, John appeared incompetent in battle, failing to defend Normandy (1202-04), and was unsuccessful in recovering his lost lands in 1214. A continuing crisis was a constant need for money, forcing John to drain England of funds for campaigns in France, demanding unlawful and oppressive new taxes. Adding to his evil reputation was an ill-tempered personality and a streak of pettiness or spitefulness that led him to monstrous acts, including murdering his own nephew. King John's unpopularity culminated in a final crisis, a revolt by the English baronage, 1215-16, aimed at subjecting him to the rule of law, that resulted in his grant of Magna Carta.

King John is reputed to be the worst of England's kings. Before his death in 1216, his desperate exploitation of his subjects for ever more money had turned him into the mythical monster of Hollywood legend--even though the fictional Robin Hood was invented much later.

King John's unpopularity culminated in a final crisis, a revolt by the English baronage, aimed at subjecting him to the rule of law, that resulted in his grant of Magna Carta.

Sir Bobby Charlton reckons that if John Charles were playing today, his transfer value would be £70 million; and in a recent poll of Italian football fans, they voted him the greatest foreign player ever to play in their league, ahead of Maradona and Platini. He was equally adept as a centre forward or centre half, and often Juventus would play him up front until he scored, and then move him back into defence to protect the lead. Whether playing for Leeds United, Wales or Juventus, he fully earned his nickname of the 'Gentle Giant', never once being booked or sent off in a 15-year career, and always being the epitome of sportsmanship. KING JOHN recalls not just a vanished era of football, but also highlights what happens to our heroes once they have left the spotlight. It is a warm and moving account from one of football's true legends.

I was told if I would be the King's Queen, I could have everything I've ever wanted, but he can't give me the one thing I want most. Deon disappeared without a trace the summer before my 9th grade year. I was told he didn't want to see me anymore, so I moved on; I moved up. My high school's elite, The Royal Court, made me their queen and I didn't look back. But then Deon showed up again. It wasn't the tats, bad attitude, or even the rumors of prison that concerned me the most. It was the fact that he still looked at me the way he did when we fell in love as kids. I traded in my tomboy ways for a queen's regality, but now my gritty soulmate is back. I'm stuck between the life I moved on from and the one I moved on to. Is there a way I can bring the two, or will I push too hard and lose both sides forever? Evil King is a full-lenght Dark High School Elite Romance and ends with a cliffhanger. Due to mature content, this series is recommended to readers aged eighteen and over. It also contains scenes that some might find distressing.

Zhuo Yu is sixteen years old, seven feet tall and has a strong body. He has short hair, healthy wheat skin, a knife-like face full of youthful and lively breath, and a pair of dark eyes with cheerful and lively light. He is dressed in dirty rags, rolled up his trousers and wore a pair of dirty cloth shoes on his feet, which is extremely out of tune with his thin and handsome face.
