    Before we can dig up his lost treasure, we need to examine the man, the myth, the monster that is “Bad King John”. As the youngest of 8, there’s enough sibling rivalry to compete with an episode of Succession.

And just how bad do you have to be to earn the nickname “Bad” King John? Love what you’re hearing? Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review!
