Best Answer

The play King John appears on a list of Shakespeare plays dated 1598, so it is no later than that. Another similar play is dated 1589, and although it is difficult to tell which came first, most scholars guess that Shakespeare's was later. Therefore it must have been written between 1589 and 1598
