John Lackland, Richard the Lionheart, England, cinema, Robin HoodAbstract
John Lackland has become one of the most famous English medieval kings. The cinema has continuously changed his image, presenting him sometimes as the worst human being imaginable, capable of all kinds of cruel behaviours, and sometimes as clumsy, insecure and beset by various traumas. John Lackland has also been used to epitomize the values of the twentieth century and burdened by negative connotations without documentary evidence. The objective of this work is to demonstrate his cinematic portrayal and to offer the contrasting reality of someone no more wicked than his contemporaries.
