King John succeeded his brother King Richard (Richard the Lionheart) in 1199.
King John, the brother of Richard I (Richard the Lionheart).
John became King in 1199 after his brother, King Richard I, died.
He became King after his brother Richard I died. As Richard I left no heirs John became King.
Richard "The Lionheart"
They were brothers
Yes. King Richard I passed the kingdom of England onto Prince John to inherit who became king after Richard I as Richard had no children of his own to be his heir so John was Richard's heir.
Richard I
King Richard and King John
