About this listen
The series finale, the final end of the Angevin Empire.
It didn't start with a defeat, but a victory. King John's half-brother, William Longspee, sailed down the River Zwyn and found a French invasion armada. The battle that followed led inexorably to another - one of the Middle Ages' greatest battles - the Battle of Bouvines.
King John fought to regain the The Angevin Empire that Philip Augustus had so ruthlessly won from him. Ultimately, he failed, and ironically his failure led to one of England's most famous political documents of all time - Magna Carta. Find out how now in this gripping final episode of The Angevins.
