This is King John of the Magna Charta.
The Magna Charta is recognized today as one of the most important documents in the history of human freedom. Coming near the end of the Dark Ages, it challenged the "divine right" of kings to rule arbitrarily.
King John of England was a tyrant who seized the throne in 1199 by imprisoning and probably murdering young Prince Arthur, the rightful heir. King John threw people into prison at the drop of a hat, confiscated their property by heavy taxes and unjust decrees, and despoiled the wives and daughters of his Nobles. His quarrels with the pope caused the pope to excommunicate all England for a period of six years. The King had a tiresome habit of forcing th e peasants to buildbridges over streams he might wish to cross while hunting, and at one time he made the whole of England his own private game preserve, so that none of the starving peasantry could kill even a rabbit for supper.
The King's Nobles finally refused to fight for him abroad, and as a result he was utterl y defeated at the Battle of Bouvines during the summer of 1214. The King then turned in fury on his Barons at home, but he underestimated the powers arrayed against him. The Barons, as sembled in conference by the Archbishop of Canterbury, each took a solemn oath on the altar that they would stand united and not relinquish their efforts until they had either compelle d the King to confirm their liberties or had waged war against him to the death.
During the winter of 1214-15, the Barons prepared and presented to King John a list of their demands. When the King saw the Articles, heis supposed to have sworn by "God's teeth" , his favorite oath, that hewould never agree to such demands or any part of them. But the Barons were not to be denied. They raised an army and launched a "holy crusade"against the King to recover their rightful liberties. The King was finally forced to surrender at Runn emede on June 15, 1215. After four days of negotiations, the King's seal was affixed to all copies of the historic Magna Charta.
The Magna Charta is recognized today as a foundation stone of free government and has been referred to as "The Mother of Constitutions." It was an important forerunner of the United States Constitution. Sections39 anbd 40 of the Charter state: "No free man shall be taken , orimprisoned, or dispossessed, or outlawed, or banished, or in any waydestroyed...excep t by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law ofthe land. To no one will we sell, to n o one will we deny, or delay,right of justice." The Barons offered to their sub-tenants the same concessions that they were demanding from the King.
Section 61 authorized the election of 25 Surety Barons to see that the provisions of th e Charter were enforced. These Sureties were given the right to distress and harass the King by any means in their power if he did not keep his pledges. Several of these Sureties are included inthis royal line pedigree: Hugh Bigod, Robert De Vere, Roger Bigod, Alan Galloway, [ Lord] Gilbert De Clare, William De Albini, Richard De Clare[Sir] William Marshal (Marshall) John De Lacy William De Warren Sahar DeQuincy William [Earl Of Salisbury] etc...
King John was given a interdict by Pope Innocent III. King John did notrespond as agreed upon so his excommunication was soon to follow. WhenKing John still would not agree to live up to his agreements, (such asthe will of the dead King Richard) the Pope in 1212 absolved all subjectsof John from their oaths of allegiance, coupling with this declarationthat the ban of excommunication would thenceforth apply to anyone whocontinued to serve him, who lived in his household, who sat or served athis table, who held the stirrup when he set orth to ride or who everspoke a word to him in public or private.
Signer of the Magna Charta.aka: John of England
Frederick Lewis Weis, "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists",
7th ed.John was the youngest of the 4 sons of King Henry. He first claimed
the crown in 1193 when news broke that his brother, King Richard (theLion Hearted), was held prisoner "somewhere in Germany." In April 1193Richard was offered for ransom by the Holy Roman Emperor. (See WinstonChurchill's detailed account of this episode in Vol. 1 of "A History ofthe English Speaking
Peoples - The Birth of Britain" at pgs.236-237) Richard reclaimed thecrown in 1194 after his release. Richard was killed by a crossbow in asmall skirmish in 1199. He died on April 6, 1199 from the wound, and John had been declared his heir before Richard died.Much is written about King John in Chapter 15 of Churchill's book
