King John ("Lackland") Plantagenet 
John, known as "Lackland", was born on December 24th, 1167 in Lings Manor House, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. "Lackland"'s father was Henry II King of England and his mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine. His paternal grandparents were Geoffrey V Plantagenet , Count of Anjou and Matilda of England; his maternal grandparents were Guillaume X , Duke of Aquitaine and Eleanor de Chastellerault. He had nine brothers and five sisters, named William, William, Henry, Henry, Richard "The Lion Hearted", Richard "The Lion Hearted", Geoffrey, Geoffrey, John "Lackland", Matilda, Matilda, Eleanora, Joan I and Joan I. He had three half-brothers and four half-sisters, named William, William, "Lackland", Marie, Alice, Marie and Alice. He died at the age of 48 on October 19th, 1216 in Newark, Nottinghamshire, England. He was buried in 1216 in Cathedral, Worcester, Worcestershire, England.General Notes
"Lackland" refered to John's status as the youngest son, resulting in no significant inherited fiefs from his Father. His titles included King of Ireland 1177, Count of Mortain 1189, Earl of Gloucester. John succeeded his brother Richard I as King in 1199. In 1215 he put his seal on the Magna Carta (Great Charter). The Magna Carta is the foundation of English Constitutional law and liberties and placed the King, like the subjects he ruled, subject to the rule of law. He is Interred in Worcester Cathedral.

John was the youngest of the 4 sons of King Henry. He first claimed the crown in 1193 when news broke that his brother, King Richard (the LionHearted), was held prisoner "somewhere in Germany." In April 1193 Richard was offered for ransom by the Holy Roman Emperor. Richard reclaimed the crown in 1194 after his release. Richard was killed by a crossbow in a small skirmish in 1199. He died on April 6, 1199 from the wound, and John had been declared his heir before Richard died.
