Source: 'Th e World Book Encyclopedia', 1968, p J110. 'Royalty for
ommoners', Roderick W. Stuart, 1993, p 38.: Reigned 1199-1216. Signed
Magna Carta in 1215 at Runnym ede. His reign saw renewal of war with
Phillip II Augustus of France to whom he lost several continental
possesions including Normandy by 1205. He came i nto conflict with his
Barons and was forced to Sign the Magna Carta. His late r repudiation of
the charter led to the first barons war 1215-17 during which John died.
Burke says he was born in 1160. John 'Lackland' King Of England w as known
as one of England's worst kings; however, modern analysis notes he w as
actually much better than his infamous reputation allows. His barons
fo rced him to grant the famous charter of liberties, Magna Carta, in
1215. He w as often cruel, but he showed both administrative and military
ability. John succeeded his brother Richard the Lion-Hearted as king of
England and duke o f Normandy in 1199. His rule began badly. By inept
politics and the murder of his nephew Arthur, he lost the allegiance of
many of his French barons. King Philip Augustus of France then declared
war. In 1205 John was beaten, and lo st all the English holdings in France
except Aquitaine. John persued a policy in England that brought him into
conflict with Pope Innocent III. In 1208 th e pope placed England under an
interdict, which banned church services. The f ollowing year John was
excommunicated. The king then showed his capacity for strong rule. He
forced Scotland into a subordinate position, kept the Welsh p rinces in
check, and held a firm grip on Ireland. But his foreign favorites,
professional troops, and autocratic financial policy stirred up
discontent among the English barons. When John failed to reconquer the
lost French terr itories in 1214, most of the barons and many of the
clergy revolted. On June 15, 1215, the king was forced to approve the
Magna Carta at Runnymede meadow beside the River Thames.
A few months later, John fought the barons. They were aided by Prince
Louis of France, heir to Philip Augustus, and appeared certa in to win.
But John penned his enemies in London and the adjacent counties. H e died
suddenly in 1216, but his throne was saved for his son, Henry III. Bur ied
