Скачать или смотреть King John | 1199-1216 | England's Worst Ever King

The Kings & Queens of England/Britain Series - King John, 1199-1216 - John, the Lackland, ridiculed by history, is infamous for losing his father’s Angevin lands to the king of France. In so doing, he quarrelled with the Pope, with churches closed and the dead not buried in consecrated ground for 5 long years. But his nasty cruel overreach, heavy taxation and harsh justice made enemies, particularly among the barons. In 1215, they forced him to sign the Magna Carta, at Runnymede, reshaping English government forever. He spent his final years at war, drowning in failure, famously losing the crown jewels in the sands of the Wash. He died in 1216 at forty-nine of dysentery, at Newark Castle, in the midst of war with France, his legacy a charter that kings could never ignore.
