His titles included King ofIreland 1177, Count of Mortain 1189, Earl of Gloucester. John succeededhis brother Richard I as King in 1199. In 1215 he put his seal on theMagna Carta (Great Charter). The Magna Carta is the foundation of EnglishConstitutional law and liberties and placed the King, like the subjectshe ruled, subject to the rule of law. He is Interred in WorcesterCathedral. "The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages" Norman F. Cantor,General Editor. This is King John of the Magna Charta. The Magna Charta is recognized today as one of the most important documents in the history of human freedom. Coming near the end of the Dark Ages, it challenged the "divine right" of kings to rule arbitrarily. King John of England was a tyrant who seized the throne in 1199 by imprisoning and probably murdering young Prince Arthur, the rightful heir. King John threw people into prison at the drop of a hat, confiscated their property by heavy taxes and unjust decrees, and despoiled the wives and daughters of his Nobles. His quarrels with the pope caused the pope to excommunicate all England for a period of six years. The King had a tiresome habit of forcing th e peasants to buildbridges over streams he might wish to cross while hunting, and at one time he made the whole of England his own private game preserve, so that none of the starving peasantry could kill even a rabbit for supper. The King's Nobles finally refused to fight for him abroad, and as a result he was utterl y defeated at the Battle of Bouvines during the summer of 1214. The King then turned in fury on his Barons at home, but he underestimated the powers arrayed against him. The Barons, as sembled in conference by the Archbishop of Canterbury, each took a solemn oath on the altar that they would stand united and not relinquish their efforts until they had either compelle d the King to confirm their liberties or had waged war against him to the death. During the winter of 1214-15, the Barons prepared and presented to King John a list of their demands. When the King saw the Articles, heis supposed to have sworn by "God's teeth" , his favorite oath, that hewould never agree to such demands or any part of them. But the Barons were not to be denied. They raised an army and launched a "holy crusade"against the King to recover their rightful liberties. The King was finally forced to surrender at Runn emede on June 15, 1215. After four days of negotiations, the King's seal was affixed to all copies of the historic Magna Charta. The Magna Charta is recognized today as a foundation stone of free government and has been referred to as "The Mother of Constitutions." It was an important forerunner of the United States Constitution. Sections39 anbd 40 of the Charter state: "No free man shall be taken , orimprisoned, or dispossessed, or outlawed, or banished, or in any waydestroyed...excep t by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law ofthe land. To no one will we sell, to n o one will we deny, or delay,right of justice." The Barons offered to their sub-tenants the same concessions that they were demanding from the King. Section 61 authorized the election of 25 Surety Barons to see that the provisions of th e Charter were enforced. These Sureties were given the right to distress and harass the King by any means in their power if he did not keep his pledges. Several of these Sureties are included inthis royal line pedigree: Hugh Bigod, Robert De Vere, Roger Bigod, Alan Galloway, [ Lord] Gilbert De Clare, William De Albini, Richard De Clare[Sir] William Marshal (Marshall) John De Lacy William De Warren Sahar DeQuincy William [Earl Of Salisbury] etc... King John was given a interdict by Pope Innocent III. King John did notrespond as agreed upon so his excommunication was soon to follow. WhenKing John still would not agree to live up to his agreements, (such asthe will of the dead King Richard) the Pope in 1212 absolved all subjectsof John from their oaths of allegiance, coupling with this declarationthat the ban of excommunication would thenceforth apply to anyone whocontinued to serve him, who lived in his household, who sat or served athis table, who held the stirrup when he set orth to ride or who everspoke a word to him in public or private. Signer of the Magna Charta.aka: John of England Frederick Lewis Weis, "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists", 7th ed. John was the youngest of the 4 sons of King Henry. He first claimed the crown in 1193 when news broke that his brother, King Richard (theLion Hearted), was held prisoner "somewhere in Germany." In April 1193Richard was offered for ransom by the Holy Roman Emperor. (See WinstonChurchill's detailed account of this episode in Vol. 1 of "A History ofthe English Speaking Peoples - The Birth of Britain" at pgs.236-237) Richard reclaimed thecrown in 1194 after his release. Richard was killed by a crossbow in asmall skirmish in 1199. He died on April 6, 1199 from the wound, and John had been declared his heir before Richard died. Much is written about King John in Chapter 15 of Churchill's book (above) because it was he who was king at the signing of the Magna Carta on June 15, 1215. He died the following summer.

Ob. D.S.P. An undoubted Earl of Gloucester, perhaps the first authentic one, at any rate after the Conquest, is Robert FitzHamon's son-in-law, another Robert, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I and was so created 1122. The Earldom passed to his eldest son, William FitzRobert, and from him to John, later King John and husband from 1189 to 1199 (when he divorced her) of Isabel, the youngest of William FitzRobert's three daughters. On John's coming to the throne the title did not merge in the Crown for it was not his in his own right but in right of his wife. The latter seems not to have been recognised as Earl of Gloucester as well as of Kent, despite his wife's undoubted possession of the former Earldom by the time of their marriage. But then she died only a few days later and her sister Amice, by now the only one of William FitzRobert's daughters still living, seems to have been recognised as Countess of Gloucester till her own death some seven and a half years later. On the other hand Amice's son Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Hertford or of Clare (usually called the latter), was apparently acknowledged as Earl of Gloucester in addition to his other dignity from as soon as the month after his aunt Isabel's death back in 1217.

King King Of England Henry III PlantagenetBorn Oct 1, 1206 at WinCheshire Castle, Hampshire, died Nov 16, 1272 at Westminster Palace London, 66 years, buried at Westminster Abbey, London, Middlesex, England Was 9 years old when he was made King by the death of his father KingJohn. October 28, 1216 crowned King of England. Henry was crowned King at the age of nine after the death of his FatherKing John in 1216. The kingdom was ruled by William Marshall, Earl ofPembroke, the regent while Henry was growing up. When Marshall died in1219, Hubert de Burgh ruled until 1232, when Henry assumed the throne."The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages" Norman F. Cantor, General Editor. Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne of England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two great protectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal. Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority. Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline the annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quelling rebellions. Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the French king Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony. Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and his arrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked a Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert was thrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never taken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King to replace them. Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to see what sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustful on first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let him down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him. The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a bad state after the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henry travelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green curtains spangled with gold stars. The floors were tiled, the windows glazed (and barred after 1238 when an attempted assassination scared Henry out of his wits---he even had the vent of the royal privy into the Thames barred over) and fireplaces provided the ultimate in luxury. Special rooms sprouted everywhere, including the room where the royal head was washed. If his private comfort bulked large in Henry's mind, his public display of piety came a close second: these were neatly combined in the royal bedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel. His greatest project was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on which he spent nearly £50,000---the equivalent of £4,000,000 today. He had been so thrilled with St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted to put it on a cart and roll it back to England. That was impossible, so he had to build his own. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put up the inscription 'As the rose is the flower of all flowers, so this is the house of houses.' For a while Henry had reason for pride: he married Eleanor, daughter of the Count of Savoy, and sister of the Queen of France, the finest match in Europe; his sister Isabella was married to the Emperor Frederick II, and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuaded the Germans to elect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans. On the other hand, his foreign policy was leading him into dangers. In 1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting his mother's ambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was to continue needlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had no desire to be his enemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the French King's generous gift of an elephant, which the historian Matthew Paris went to draw in the Tower of London. In 1246 Henry's mother died (to almost universal relief) and he generously invited his four Lusignan half-brothers to live out their orphanage under his roof. He gave them large incomes, but they took more, milking the land as hard as they could in the last moments before bankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price, and foreign-ness. In ecclesiastical affairs Henry's hands were hopelessly tied---the Pope had always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford to lose his aid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy's desparate need for money to prosecute its war against the Hohenstauffen made reform a secondary consideration, and indeed frequently blocked it. But Henry may justly be criticised for his foolishness in accepting the papal offer of the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund in 1250. The payment was to meet the astonomical debts of the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall had already wisely turned down this bad bargain, commenting that he had been offered the moon, if he could reach it. Henry's need for money dominated most of his domestic policy. During the period of his personal government he obtained what he needed by getting legalists and professional civil servants to manipulate the complex chaos of the feudal government he had inherited. Government became a secret and centralised affair, excluding the barons, great and small. There are many comparisons here with the tyranny of Chales I. In 1258 came the explosion: Parliament refused a grant unless Henry should exile his grasping half-brothers, and allow a commission of enquiry. A committee was set up to control the appointment of Crown officials, examine and reform local government, and supervise the affairs of the realm in general. This was a revolt, but it had many obscure roots. One cannot assess how deeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voiced by Simon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in the baronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary, wanting to return to baronial government for its own sake. On this issue the reformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, and de Montfort the radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using the ever valuable support of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control. Now came war, and the stunning defeat of the royal party at Lewes in 1264. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, though prone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son, the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry was rescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.' Henry longed for revenge, and disinherited the rebels, who fled to hideouts in the fens to continue the war. The papal legate Ottobono persuaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266, as to allow the rebels to buy back their estates. Still not satisfied, the disinherited, under Gloucester's leadership, took London, and Richard of Cornwall negotiated an easier peace. In 1267 the Statute of Marlborough embodied much of what de Montfort had fought for, and the long years of trouble were over. Henry had at least survived, and his last years were happy in that he fininshed building his patron saint's Abbey of Westminster. The wheel of fortune that decorated so many of his palaces' walls had come round, and all the rage and terror were done with. Henry died in 1272.
