As far as I know, King John and King Richard had no problems with each other when they were young.
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
because the king was giving tax breaks to the rich and making the poor pay more, and King John was not the rightful king. John only took the throne in Richard's absense.
Prince John is the primary antagnoist in the Robin Hood stories. He is the youngest brother to King Richard I, the Lion-Hearted and became king in his own right in 1199. The story is that John overthrew Richard's justicar and claimed the throne as his own in 1191, thinking his brother would never return from the Crusades. It was during that time that he began taxing the people and persecuting anyone who was still loyal to Richard. This gave rise to Robin Hood and his band. The real story isn't far off, though John was never actually siuccessful in claiming the thron until Richard died on his own in 1199.
king Richard prince john were 3rd and 4th sons .two older brotners died under questionable circumstances.
