Well he stopped Catholics going to there holy church so Guy Folks tried to bomb the houses of Parliament when King John was inside!
He was a bad king because he didn't care about the 'magna carta' and he ruled the country in a bad way.
People in the Victorian times disliked King John and saw him as a failure and a villain. They thought he created his own problems and was cruel and a wicked king; the Devil in disguise.
There's no consensus on whether King John was a good king. Many consider him to have been a bad ruler, but others think he was effective. Regardless of the presence of dissenting opinions, he tends to be portrayed negatively in the media.
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. :)
Henry VII wasn't a good defender, and he wasn't a very nice person either. Henry VIII was a good King, and looked after England well, but was a womanizer and wasn't very nice to his wives.
Half.

King John reacted poorly to the signing of the Magna Carta since it limited his powers as a king and made him adhere to a Parliament
