  • Notes 
    • Also known as John Plantagenet, John reigned from May 27, 1199 till his death on Oct. 18-19, 1216. (C-437, p. 590) He was the youngest son of Henry II and Eleanor. His birth date is also listed as 1167 in CD-102, Warren's book "King John"., and the "Kings and Queens of England and Scotland." He was an unpopular King largely due to the fact that he was not the great fighter kings were expected to be at the time. He is listed as hedonistic, unstable and unforgiving. At the same time he was highly intelligent, efficient, sophisticated, well educated in law and government and he loved to read often carrying books with him on his travels. Much of his troubles sprang from problems that grew during his father's and brother's reign. He lost ground to Phillip II of France. He lost political power with the Pope. His barons rebelled and forced restoration of feudal rights in the document called the Magna Carta. (C-485, Grolier Ency., C-433, C-489, 567-8)

      His will is as follows: "I, John, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Acquitaine, Earl of Anjou. Imprimis, I will that my body be buried in the church of St. Mary and St. Wulstan of Worcester. I appoint the following to be my executors: G. by the grace of God Cardinal of St. Martin, and Legate from the Apostolical See; P. Bishop of Winchester; R. Bishop of Chichester; S. Bishop of Worcester, "fratrem Aimer de St. Maura"; W. Marshall, Earl of Pembroke; R. Earl of Chester; William Earl Ferrers; William Bruwne; Walter de Lacy; and John de Monemut, Savaricum de Malo-Leone; Foulk de Breante."
