Notes

a. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_of_England King of England from 6 April 1199 until his death. He acceded to the throne as the younger brother of King Richard I, who died without issue. John was the youngest of five sons of King Henry II of England and Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, and was their second surviving son to ascend the throne; thus, he continued the line of Plantagenet or Angevin kings of England. Prior to his coronation, he was Earl of Cornwall and Gloucester, but this title reverted to the Crown once he became King. John's oldest surviving brother, Richard, became king upon the death of their father in 1189, and John was made Count of Mortain (France). When Richard refused to honour their father's wishes and surrender Aquitaine to him as well, John staged a rebellion. The rebellion failed, and John lost all potential claims to lands in France. During his lifetime John acquired two epithets. One was "Lackland" (French: Sans Terre), because, as his father's youngest son, he did not inherit land out of his family's holdings, and because as King he lost significant territory to France.The other was "Softsword" signifying his supposed lack of prowess in battle. Apart from entering popular legend as the enemy of Robin Hood, he is perhaps best-known for having acquiesced -to the barons of English nobility- to seal Magna Carta, a document which limited kingly power in England and which is popularly thought as an early step in the evolution of limited government.; [Note Record]
