Excerpt from The Life and Death of King John: With an Introduction and Notes
Scene, the revolted lords, with Prince Henry, are found assembled round John's death-bed as he expires in great agony. The Play closes with the news that the Dan phin is setting out on his return, and with preparations for the King's funeral and his son's accession to the throne.
Having now traced the course of the Play, it will be convenient for us to notice the main deviations from history which, for one cause or other, Shakespeare has chosen to make.
