History is littered with King Johns, but most commonly known is England's King John, or John Lackland, son of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine and brother of Richard I (the Lionhearted). He ascended the throne after his brother, Richard I's, death in 1199. His reign was marred by greed and baronial strife, leading to his being forced to sign the Magna Carta (the Great Charter). A simple search query will satisfy most everything one could want to know about him.
