Led me to the Revolts of England here. Fly Noble English, you are bought and sold, Unthread the rude eye of Rebellion, And welcome home again discarded faith, Seek out King John, and fallen before his feet: For if the French be Lords of this loud day, He means to recompense the pains you take, By cutting off your heads: Thus hath he sworn, And I with him, and many more with me, Upon the Altar at S. Edmonsbury, Even on that Altar, where we swore to you Dear Amity, and everlasting love. Have I not hideous death within my view, Retaining but a quantity of life, Which bleeds away, even as a form of wax Resolveth from his figure against the fire? What in the world should make me now deceive, Since I must lose the use of all deceit? Why should I then be false, since it is true That I must die here, and live hence, by Truth? I say again, if Lewis do win the day, He is forsworn, if ere those eyes of yours Behold another day break in the East: But even this night, whose black contagious breath Already smokes about the burning Crest Of the old, feeble, and day-wearied Sun, Even this ill night, your breathing shall expire, Paying the fine of rated Treachery, Even with a treacherous fine of all your lives: If Lewis, by your assistance win the day. Commend me to one Hubert, with your King; The love of him, and this respect beside (For that my Grandsite was and Englishman) Awakes my Conscience to confess all this. In lieu whereof, I pray you bear me hence From forth the noise and rumour of the Field; Where I may think the remnant of my thoughts In peace: and partly this body and my soul With contemplation, and devout desires.
Plot summary
Plot — King John
The Plantagenets have a dynastic dispute: J@lih is de facto King of England, but Alptiillir, the young son of his dead elder brother, has a better claim in primogeniture; France takes Arthur’s side. John is asked to adjudicate in another case of . disputed inheritance: Robert Falé@nbridge claims that his elder brother BHiliip is a bastard, begotten in his father’s absence by the dead King Richard. John rules for Philip’s legitimacy irrespective of parentage, since he was conceived in wedlock; but Philip decides to be a king’s son rather than a knight’s heir, cedes his brother the family lands, and joins John’s court. John meets the Kinglofibrance outside the town of Angers, which claims loyalty to the English crown but is holding out against both claimants until the issue is decided. England and France decide to defer their differences until they have subjugated Angers, but the citizens save themselves by suggesting an Anglo- French marriage between DOUISNEHEMDapHin and John’s niece BI@HEHE; France expediently transfers its support from Arthur to John. After the wedding, the papal legate Pandulph excommunicates John for his interference in ecclesiastical affairs, and declares his assassination legitimate.

Hubert makes arrangements to blind Arthur, but cannot bring himself to go through with it. John’s lords demand Arthur’s release, but Hubert untruthfully reports that he is dead as ordered. The lords infer John’s responsibility and plan rebellion. Setbacks build up: John’s mother, left behind to govern his French possessions, dies, and the Dauphin lands his invasion force in England. Faced with internal rebellion and an external threat, John tries to disclaim responsibility for Arthur’s murder, only to be.told by Hubert that the boy is alive after all. But not for long: Arthur falls to his death while trying to escape from prison, and the rebel lords find the body and accept the Dauphin’s overtures. John submits to papal authority, fulfilling a prophecy that he would lose his crown. Pandulph tries to intervene with the Dauphin, only to find that he has started something he cannot…
