King John of England was known for his demanding nature primarily due to his struggles to maintain control over his territories and assert his authority. Faced with rebellious barons and financial difficulties, he sought to extract resources and loyalty through heavy taxation and strict enforcement of feudal obligations. His inability to secure a strong claim to the throne and loss of territories in France further fueled his need for control, leading to a reputation for being tyrannical and oppressive. This relentless pursuit of power ultimately contributed to the Magna Carta's creation in 1215, as nobles sought to limit his authority.

Why was King John unfair to his barons?

King John needed to rebuild his funds after he lost the war to King Phillip II. He attempted to do this by demanding a "scutage" (a fee paid in lieu of military service) from his barons who did not join him in his war with King Phillip II. These barons questioned the kings policies. They insisted he reestablishing Henry I's Coronation Oath. This put limits on the kings ability to obtain funds. King John refused. The rebelling barons began to loose momentum until an unexpected capture of London. This gave them a bargaining chip, so King John agreed to a Constitution. This is how the Magna Carta came about.
