 John, "Lackland" Plantagenet King of England , King of England, son of Henry II Curmantle Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Adoption parents: N.N. and N.N. Nickname: "Lackland", also known as: John /Lackland/, born Dec 24, 1166 at Kings Manorhouse,Oxford,Oxfordshire,England, died Oct 19, 1216 at Newark-On-Trent,Newark,Nottinghamshire,England, 49 years, buried at Worcester Cathed,Worcester,Worcestershire,England From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996. [Pullen010502.FTW] Source: 'The World Book Encyclopedia', 1968, p J110. 'Royalty forommoners', Roderick W. Stuart, 1993, p 38.: Reigned 1199-1216. SignedMagna Carta in 1215 at Runnymede. His reign saw renewal of war withPhillip II Augustus of France to whom he lost several continentalpossesions including Normandy by 1205. He came into conflict with hisBarons and was forced to Sign the Magna Carta. His later repudiationof the charter led to the first barons war 1215-17 during which Johndied. Burke says he was born in 1160. John 'Lackland' King Of Englandwas known as one of England's worst kings; however, modern analysisnotes he was actually much better than his infamous reputation allows.His barons forced him to grant the famous charter of liberties, MagnaCarta, in 1215. He was often cruel, but he showed both administrativeand military ability. John succeeded his brother Richard theLion-Hearted as king of England and duke of Normandy in 1199. His rulebegan badly. By inept politics and the murder of his nephew Arthur, helost the allegiance of many of his French barons. King Philip Augustusof France then declared war. In 1205 John was beaten, and lost all theEnglish holdings in France except Aquitaine. John persued a policy inEngland that brought him into conflict with Pope Innocent III. In 1208the pope placed England under an interdict, which banned churchservices. The following year John was excommunicated. The king thenshowed his capacity for strong rule. He forced Scotland into asubordinate position, kept the Welsh princes in check, and held a firmgrip on Ireland. But his foreign favorites, professional troops, andautocratic financial policy stirred up discontent among the Englishbarons. When John failed to reconquer the lost French territories in1214, most of the barons and many of the clergy revolted. On June 15,1215, the king was forced to approve the Magna Carta at Runnymedemeadow beside the River Thames. A few months later, John fought the barons. They were aided by PrinceLouis of France, heir to Philip Augustus, and appeared certain to win.But John penned his enemies in London and the adjacent counties. Hedied suddenly in 1216, but his throne was saved for his son, HenryIII. Buried in Worcester Cathedral Concubine at Kings Manor House,Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Divorced Isabel Fitzrobert 29 August1189. REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: William the Conquerorrequested a large number of Jews to move to England after hisconquest. They spoke Norman & did well under his reign. Theycontinued to thrive under William's grandson Henry II. When Richardwas coronated, he did so "in a bath of Jewish blood." John merelytaxed them very heavily, "bled them white". REF: British Monarchy Official Website: Richard's success (atretrieving all of his French possessions taken by Philip Augustus) wasshort lived. In 1199 his brother, John, became king and Philipsuccessfully invaded Normandy. By 1203 John had retreated to England,losing his French lands of Normandy and Anjou by 1205. John (reigned1199-1216) was an able administrator interested in law and governmentbut he neither trusted others, nor was trusted by them. Heavy taxation, disputes with the Church (John was excommunicated bythe Pope in 1209) and unsuccessful attempts to recover his Frenchpossessions made him unpopular. Many of his barons rebelled and inJune 1215 they forced the King to sign a peace treaty accepting theirreforms. This treaty, later known as Magna Carta, limited royalpowers, defined feudal obligations between the king and the barons,and guaranteed a number of rights. The most influential clausesconcerned the freedom of the Church; the redress of grievances ofowners and tenants of land; the need to consult the Great Council ofthe Realm so as to prevent unjust taxation; mercantile and tradingrelationships; regulation of the machinery of justice so that justicebe denied to no one; and the requirement to control the behaviour ofroyal officials. The most important clauses established the basis ofhabeas corpus ('you have the body'), i.e. that no one shallbeimprisoned except by due process of law, and that 'to no one will wesell, to no one will we refuse or delay right or justice'. The Charter also established a council of barons who were to ensurethat the sovereign observed the Charter, with the right to wage war onhim if he did not. Magna Carta was the first formal document insisting that thesovereign was as much under the rule of law as his people; and thatthe rights of individuals were to be upheld even against the wishes ofthe sovereign. As a source of fundamental constitutional principles,Magna Carta came to be seen as an important definition of aspects ofEnglish law, and in later centuries as the basis of the liberties ofthe English people. As a peace treaty Magna Carta was a failure andthe rebels invited Louis of France to become their king. When Johndied in 1216 England was in the grip of civil war.

Henry III Plantagenet King of EnglandBorn Oct 1, 1207 at Winchester Castle,Hampshire,England, died Nov 16, 1272 at Westminster Palace,London,England, 65 years [Pullen010502.FTW] REF: British Monarchy Official Website: Henry III (reigned1216-1272), John's son, was only nine when he became king. By 1227,when he assumed power from his regent, order had been restored basedon his acceptance of Magna Carta. However, the king's failed campaignsin France, his choice of foreigners as friends and advisers, togetherwith the cost of his scheme to make one of his younger sons king of Sicily and help the Pope against the HolyRoman Emperor, led to further disputes with the barons and unitedopposition in Church and State. The Provisions of Oxford (1258) andthe Provisions of Westminster (1259 were attempts by the nobles tocurb the king's power, control appointments and set up an aristocraticcouncil. Henry renounced the Provisions in 1264 and war broke out. Thebarons under their leader, Simon de Montfort, were initially successful, but Henry and his son, Edward,finally defeated and killed de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in1265. Royal authority was restored by the Statute of Marlborough(1267), in which the king also promised to uphold Magna Carta and someof the Provisions of Westminster. REF: Sharon Kay Penman "Falls the Shadow": In April 1258, Henry'sbrother Richard of Cornwall sent 50 ships of grain from Germany (whereRichard was chasing the elusive crown of Germany) to London to helpalleviate the famine, Henry siezed the ships & tried to sell them atinflated prices. This enraged the general populace of London, Henrybacked down but they remained bitter. After Henry reconciled withPrince Edward through the mediation of Richard of Cornwall (Henrythought Edward was plotting with Simon de Montfort), Henry attemptedto try de Montfort on charges of perjery & "lesse-majeste". TheBarons on the King's Council baulked & Louis IX was dismayed byHenry's bad faith, & sent the Archbishop of Rouen to defend deMontfort, Henry backed off. In June 1261 Henry borrows from hisfather John's tricks & gets the Pope to annul the Oxford Provisions,even as John did with the Magna Charta. The Barons nearly revolt overthis, with even Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, siding with deMontfort. Later, de Clare defects from de Montfort & comes to a"private understanding" with Henry & de Montofrt's "common enterprise"unravels. Simon withdraws to France. In July 1262, Henry follows deMontfort into France & tries to have him arraigned before the FrenchKing, Louis IX, but the attempt fails. Simon returns to England April1263, which most felt meant a precursor to war. May 1263 the deMontfort supporters meet & vow all are enemies who do not support theProvisions save the King & his family. Henry held fast, the barons'discontent flared into violence & Simon's supporter the Earl of Derbysacked the town of Worcester & burned the Jewry. May 1263 the youngEarl of Gloucester led an Army west & captured the Bishop of Hereford,the most hated of the foreign advisors to Henry III then left afterthe expulsion of the de Lusignans. He threw the Bishop into prison,laid siege to the royal castle at Gloucester, where de Montfortassumed command. The army then went north to Bridgenorth, where theycoordinated their attack with Llywelyn ap Gruffydd; the twon & castlesurrendered. de Montfort then headed south for London, where apanicked Henry took refuge in the Tower. In June 1263 Prince Edward'sforeign Flemish troops burned Bristol; the populace rose up & besiegedhim & his army in the castle. The Bishop of Worcester placated thetownsfolk by taking Edward's pladge to make peace with de Montfort &the barons (which Edward had no intention of honoring his pledge). InOctober 1263 Richard Duke of Cornwall (Henry's brother) son Henrydefected to Montfort. Simon received a triumphal entry into LondonJuly 1263 & Henry capitulated at the Tower of London on July 13, 1263. Reigned 1216-1272. A minor when he took the throne he did not take thereigns of Government himself until 1234. Baronian discontent simmered,boiling over in 1258 when Henry facing financial disaster attempted to raise largesums from his magnates. Reforms were agreed upon but then renouced byHenry. Simon de Montford lead a rebellion against the King (the BaronsWars) which was defeated after initial success, thereafter Hneryceeded much of his power to his son. Henry III ran afoul of his barons(again) when he requested a large amount of money to aid him inputting down Gaston de Bâearn's 2nd rebellion in Gascony, saying thatde Bâearn's ally St. Ferdinand III King of Castile was going to invadeGascony, but just as he said this, Simon de Montfort returned toEngland & told the barons that Henry was actually negotiating with theSt. Ferdinand III to marry his daughter Eleanor to Henry's son CrownPrince Edward "Longshanks" (de Montfort's commetns were true). At thispoint, with Henry's many debacles, his lack of resolve & constancy,the reforms were going to be made with or without his participation.

The Jews did the worst ofall under the pious Henry III as during his reign the church feltthreatened by violence, war, schism & heresy. The church encouragedJewish pogroms & spread rumors of grisly rituals & murders committedby Jews. Henry, as a faithful son of the church, did nothing torestrain it.

Richardovernight goes from trying to mediate a solution to, like Edward,ardently desiring a battlefield confrontation. Richard was not popular with his brother Henry III's subjects as hewas intelligent, pragmatic, had business acumen, & a lack of rancor;these qualities were disdained in favor of reckless courage,battlefield prowess, & open-handed generosity, which was expected ofLords. Richard's courage was never suspect; but he was not aninnovative nor brilliant military commander. At Battle of Lewes on 14May 1264, Richard commanded the left flank of the Royalist forces.After Prince Edward left the battle to pursue with unwholesomesavagery the rebel Londoner flank of Montfort's forces, Montfort,keeping a reserve force (a tactic unheard of) came in & attacked Henry& obliterated his force; Henry fleed to the priory. Gilbert deClare's center column forces met Richard's & took the day. Richardwith his son Edmund fled into a windmill. When de Clare's forcescaptured the, they jeered "come out king of the millers". JohnGiffard's squire was the one who officially accepted Richard's royalsurrender, adding to Richard's discomposure (that he had surrenderedto a squire rather than a knight). Upon his presentation to Simon deMontfort, Simon made the lad, John Befs of Tewkesbury, a knight. Downloaded from Bradford_Taylor on rootsweb.com 9.
