• Notes

  John Lackland, House of Plantagenet, King of England 1199-1216. His rule began after the death of his elder brother Richarad I the Lionheart who died 6 Apr 1199 from an infected shoulder wound.. John (Lackland) was subsequently appointed King of England. His reign saw a renewal of war with Phillip II Augustus of France to whom he lost several continental possesions, including Normandy, by 1205. On 15 Jun 1215 at Runnymede*, English barons compelled King John to sign the Magna Charta (Great Charter) which reinstated the rights of all his subjects. His later repudiation of the charter led to the First Barons War 1215-17 during which John died. *Runnymede is a water-meadow alongside the River Thames in the English county of Surrey, and just over 20 miles (32 km) west of central London.
