King John lost the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 primarily due to a lack of effective leadership and coordination among his forces, which were composed of a diverse coalition that included English, Flemish, and other allies. His opponents, led by King Philip II of France, had a well-organized and united army that capitalized on John's tactical mistakes. Additionally, John faced internal dissent and a lack of support from some of his allies, which further weakened his position in the battle. The defeat significantly undermined John's authority and contributed to the subsequent rebellion that led to the Magna Carta.

Technically John Balliol was still king, but he was in exile in France following his forced abdication.
King John of England lost most of his French territories due to a combination of military defeats, poor leadership, and political miscalculations. His failure to effectively manage alliances and respond to the growing power of the French king, Philip II, led to significant losses, including the critical defeat at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214. Additionally, John's heavy taxation and harsh rule alienated many of his vassals, undermining support for his cause. Ultimately, these factors contributed to the loss of Normandy and other territories, diminishing England's influence in France.
