What was the problem with King John and the barons?

Answer 1

* King John raised the taxes(which Barons paid most of) * King John made the Barons serve in his army or pay money * King John made the English Barons who owned land in France give it up * King John imprisoned the Barons who he thought were annoying or would make them pay heavy fines * The Barons thought that King John had killed his nephew Arthur

Answer 2

Barons were angry at King John because he received lots of taxes that made citizens unhappy as well as barons. He wasn't good at winning wars so he always ended up with loosing his lands. He listened to his favourite advisers and ignored other advisers. He sometimes didn't consult big issues with barons. This was why barons didn't trust him. He quarrelled with the church so people in his lands weren't able to marry or buried. The barons were furious but they gave him a last chance. They made magna carta and made him to sign it. However he broke it and barons ended up not trusting John.
