John of England

John of England, commonly called King John, was a medieval monarch who reigned from 1199 to 1216. He is best known for his troubled rule, which included conflicts with noble barons, leading to the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215—a document that limited royal power and laid foundations for modern legal rights. John's reign was marked by military failures, heavy taxation, and political unrest. His leadership significantly impacted English history by shaping the development of constitutional principles and the relationship between the monarchy and its subjects.
