Was King John a bad King?

John wasn't a bad king... he just wasn't the best off 'em all! He made everyone pay extremely high taxes and chucked all of the monks out, including the blind and crippled. John fell out with the pope allot and used to steal things from the churches, but eventually John gave in to the pope and they were like bezzy mates :) Also John used to make elderly widows pay a £3000 pound fine or he would make them remarry! But John did allot of good and hardworking things: He had a battle for his crown and won! On rare occasions, John would organise a large meal for poor people who haven't ate large meals a while King John won battles against Wales, Scotland and England. He also made the navy(England's fighting ships) very strong. John made sure that trials in courts were fairer and made England richer. :)
