Softsword John And John LackLand
John Lackland was King Henry IIs younger son and younger brother of Richard I. Henry left no land to John in his will, hence the epithet Lackland. On the death of his elder brother Richard Lionheart, John was crowned king. John ruled from 1199 to his death in 1216. A cruel and savage king, John finally fell foul of the Barons who then rose against him. At Runnymede they forced him to sign the Magna Carta; a set of pre-Norman and new laws designed to protect the realm and to force the monarch to behave in a more civilised manner.
