Why did King John become king?

Answer 1

Johnâ??s perpetual state of war provided an ever increasing need for great sums of money. He accepted bribes, fined litigants, extorted succession fees and profited from his feudal privileges. He also took scutages, in lieu of military service. This was like an annual tax.

Answer 2

He claimed the throne based on the fact that he was closer in generations to the last king. According to laws now, his nephew Arthur of Brittany should have succeeded, since he was the son of John's older brother Geoffrey.

Arthur did pose a threat, but his mother supported him and John had him murdered (some say, he did it with his own hands).
