Notes for John I, King of England, King of Ireland, Count of Mortain, Earl of Gloucester |
"Reigned 1199-1216. Signed the Magna Carta in 1215 at Runnymede. His reign saw renewal of war with Phillip II Augustus of France, to whom he has lost several continental possesions including Normandy by 1205. He came into conflict with his barons and was forced to sign the Magna Carta. His later repudiation of the charter led to the first Barons' War 1215-17, during which John died."149 |
