There's no consensus on whether King John was a good king. Many consider him to have been a bad ruler, but others think he was effective. Regardless of the presence of dissenting opinions, he tends to be portrayed negatively in the media.

Was King John a good King?

It really depends, as lots of historians disagree about the matter. There were some good aspects about him, some bad. The only thing thing that historians can agree on is the fact that there were a lot of problems already made for him when he became King. He is known to have argued with the Pope, and lots of people at the time, including Monks, who were the main writers at the time, thought that he had to be evil because the pope was meant to be the holiest man on earth. In fact, John's father, King Henry II, had done the same thing, but only with a better result as the Pope at that time was less strong minded. In some ways King John was a good king because he fed over 1000 paupers every year. He cared for Jews and committed them into care. But in some ways king John was a bad king because historians say he starved people and crushed old men under lead blocks. ouch. By the way, all of this is true because I'm doing King John at school. king John was a very bad king as he killed his own nephew for the thrown, he lost many battles against England's rivalry countries and he was forced to sign the magna carta. However he has won battles against England ,wales and Scotland and he made England wealthy. He also cared for poor people. King John was a bad king and a bad person but he did care for people.
