A Closer Look at King John of England

"Sir John I, he is the worst." Although this is a rhyme of a child, many respected literary works express this feeling through history as well as today. Almost 800 years later, he may still be the most notorious king in British history. But he is as bad as he really is. You will think very much about stories like Sir Walter Scott's Robin Hood and Sir E. Howe. But if these are perfectly accurate, Winston Churchill says: "When adding a long story, the British country and the British world seem to be attributed to John's bad habits more than better work You can do.

There are many kings in the UK, some are good, some are not so good, some are terrible. King John is a terrible king. Several stories about him said he kept farmers in prison so that he can grab a man 's carriage. King John is also a liar. He lied to his own way. He is also very aggressive. Because he is a king, I want to get everything I want. The archbishop decided to do something for King John. Archbishop gathered all the aristocrats in England and read to them the law they could do. The nobles were surprised to learn that they had the legal right to act against the bad behavior of the king. But they have not done anything yet.

In the eleventh century, King John of England began to abuse power to aristocrats. John charged a large sum of money without consulting the aristocracy and used this to decide the case according to his personal request. Soon the nobility began to resent John 's actions. After John lost the fight with France, the king must confirm that he received the support of the nobility. As a result, he agreed to sign a royal charter made by nobility to protect their rights. This charter is called Magna Carta

Magna Carta, also known as the "Letter" in Latin, was a document signed by King John of England in 1215 AD. King John lost a lot of land to the Philippe Augustus of France during the reign. After the marriage between King Henry II and the Duchess of Aquitaine, that land acquired many French lands before becoming Britain. After the whole army tried to recapture the empire that collapsed in the northern part of France, he was forced to increase his income and tax to rebuild troops. Strong aristocrats were dissatisfied with the tax increase, caused a civil war, and John was forced to sign Magna Carta. This restricted the king's power, had a great positive impact on the British common law system, and created the first form of parliament. This idea of ​​regime influences our government today and even if Pope John later was expelled from the church for the controversy with Pope Innocent III, It has a good effect.
