King John of England is historically suspected of having murdered his nephew, Arthur of Brittany, in 1203. According to accounts, Arthur was captured and imprisoned by John, who feared his claim to the throne. It is believed that John ordered Arthur’s death, potentially by having him killed in prison or by pushing him into the Seine River, although the exact details remain unclear and are subject to historical debate. This act contributed to John's notorious reputation and the conflict with his barons.
