Before the Play Begins...
Upon the death without issue of King Richard I (“Richard Coeur de Lion”), his youngest and only surviving brother John has become king of England and ruler of the Angevin Empire that occupies much of France. However, as the son of John’s older brother Geoffrey, the young Arthur of Brittany has a rival claim to the throne. Arthur’s mother, the widowed Constance, has urged King Philip of France to challenge John’s right to rule.
