To gain the throne and the crown King John murdered his nephew, Matilda started telling people witch cased John to lock her and her son up in Windsor castle and that lead them to starve to death. So then King John became king and when this happened Richard lion hart got banished when he returned in 1194 and soon after in 1199 he died as john be came king.

King John ruled England from 1199 to 1216. He quarreled with the Pope about how to run the Church. From 1208 till 1213, the Pope banned all church services in England and English people were worried that they would all go to hell! Some Church leaders blamed John for the trouble.

Also John went to war twice against the French king and then raised the taxes so they could pay for the wars and this upset the barons
