King John of England, who reigned from 1199 to 1216, is often cited as an example of a monarch who abused his power. His heavy taxation, arbitrary justice, and conflicts with the nobility led to widespread discontent. This culminated in the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215, which sought to limit his authority and establish certain legal rights for his subjects. John's actions and disregard for the barons' rights exemplified the dangers of absolute monarchy.
