He ignored the rights of the people. And I believe that even after signing the Magna Carta that he broke many of the principles therein.
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
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.
King John was considered a bad king . Very greedy selfish this was mainly for being a bad king and raising taxes!
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.
Character of King John: Unscrupulous, cruel, disloyal. A notorious womaniserhttp://www.middle-ages.org.uk/king-john.htm
king john married a 12 year old girl and he replaced hes brother because hes brother was supposed to be king not king john
king john was a very powerful man he has lots of money and land but one day the barons took credit for the kings land and became a stronger population which was why king john had the problems.
He was a bad king because he didn't care about the 'magna carta' and he ruled the country in a bad way.

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. :)
John Ball is a famous priest wanted the people to be free and no unfair laws.he was sent to prison by the king for telling the peasants about the bad things the king was doing. this made the peasants revolt.
