| Notes |
- John was nicknamed Lackland, probably because, as the youngest of Henr y I I's five sons, it was difficult to find a portion of his father's Fre nc h possessions for him to inherit. He was acting king from 1189 durin g hi s brother Richard the Lion-Heart's absence on the Third Crusade. Th e lege nd of Robin Hood dates from this time in which John is portrayed a s Bad K ing John. He was involved in intrigues against his absent brother , but be came king in 1199 when Richard was killed in battle in France.
Best known for signing the Magna Charta. John's reign had become increas i ngly tyrannical. To support his wars he had extorted money, raised tax e s and confiscated properties. His barons finally united to force him t o r espect their rights and privileges. John had little choice but to sig n th e Magna Charta presented to him by his barons at Runnymede in 1215 . Thi s made him subject rather than superior to the law. Shortly afterwa rd Joh n and the barons were at war.
