[The Timetables of History]

FOSTER, WAITE LINE - 22nd ggrandfather

!Best known for signing the Magna Charta. Youngest son of King Henry I I and Eleanor of Aquitaine, his father had provided for the eventual in heritance of his lands by his older sons before John was born. By 1186 , only Richard I, the Lion-Hearted, and John were left as Henry's heirs . In 1189, as Henry neared death, John joined Richard's rebellion agai nst their father, and when Richard was crowned, he gave John many estat es and titles. John tried but failed to usurp the Crown while Richard w as away on the Third Crusade. Upon returning to England, Richard forga ve him. When his brother died in 1199, John became king. A revolt ensu ed by the supporters of Arthur of Brittany, the son of John's Brother, G eoffrey. Arthur was defeated and captured in 1202. John is believed t o have had him murdered. King Philip II of France continued Arthur's w ar until John had to surrender nearly all his French possessions in 120 4. In 1207 John refused to accept the election of Stephen Langton as a rchbishop of Canterbury. Pope Innocent III then excommunicated him and b egan negotiating with Philip for an invasion of England. Desperate, Jo hn surrendered England to the pope and in 1213 received it back as a fi ef. Trying to regain his French possession, he was decisively defeated b y Philip in 1214. John's reign had become increasingly tyrannical; to s upport his wars he had extorted money, raised taxes, and confiscated pr operties. His barons finally united to force him to respect their righ ts and privileges. John had little choice but to sign the Magna Charta p resented to him by his barons at Runnymede in 1215, making him subject, r ather than superior, to the law. Shortly afterward John and the barons w ere at war. He died at Newark in Nottinghamshire on Oct. 19, 1216, whi le still pursuing the campaign, and was succeeded by his son, Henry III . [Funk & Wagnalls]

!Pope Innocent excommunicated and deposed John of England and finally r estored him only when John became his vassal. [Outline History of Manki nd]

!John, with some justice, has been called the worst of the Plantagenet l ine of kings. He carried on the war against his late ally, Philip, who w as striving for the English possesions in France; but through mismanage ment he lost all of his French holdings except the larger part of the p rovince of Aquitaine. His fight with the pope over the election of the A rchbishop of Canterbury was disastrous. John might have held out, had h e not been ruling his kingdom so badly that his subjects were thinking o f revolt. So, when the pope declared him deposed and told Philip Augus tus to carry out the sentence, John was forced to give in to all the pa pal demands. [Outline History of Mankind]

!The Magna Charta contained provisions remedying the worst evils of his r eign, depriving him of certain rights, and safeguarding law and order. M ost important of all was the provision that the king was bound to rule b y the well-established laws of the kingdom, and giving his subjects the r ight to revolt if he should not. [Outline History of Mankind]

!When his brother Richard took the throne, he had John take an oath tha t he would leave England for 3 years. When Richard was away on the Thi rd Crusade, William Longchamp, Bishop of Ely, led a movement striving t o put Arthur, child of his elder brother Geoffry and Constance of Britt any, on the throne. John was recalled to England and peace between him a nd Longchamp was only preserved by the influence of queen-mother Eleano r. Richard met this news by sending William of Coutances, the Archbish op of Rouen, with full but secret powers to England. On his landing in t he summer of 1191 William found the country already in rams. No battle h ad been fought, but John had seized many of the royal castles, and the i ndignation stirred by Longchamp's arrest of Archbishop Geoffry of York, a b astard son of Henry the Second, called the whole baronage to the field. T he nobles swore fealty to John as Richard's successor, and William of C outances saw himself forced to show his commission as justiciar, and to a ssent to Longchamp's exile from the realm. [WBH - England]

!On Richard's death he was acknowledged as King in England and Normandy , Aquitaine was secured for him by its Duchess, his mother Eleanor; but A njou, Maine, and Touraine did homage to Arthur, the son of his elder br other Geoffry, the late Duke of Brittany. In May 1200 a treaty between K ing John and King Philip of France left John master of the whole domini on of his house. But fresh troubles broke out in Poitou; Philip, on Jo hn's refusal to answer the charges of the Poitevin barons at his Court, d eclared in 1202 his fiefs forfeited; and Arthur, now a boy of 15, strov e to seize Eleanor in the castle of Mirabeau. Surprised at its siege b y a rapid march of the King, the boy was taken prisoner to Rouen, and m urdered there in the spring of 1203, as men believed, by his uncle's ha nd. This brutal outrage at once roused the French provinces in revolt, w hile Philip sentenced John to forfeiture as a murderer and marched stra ight on Normandy. Little was left save the country south of the Garonn e; and from the lordship of a vast empire that stretched from the Tyne t o the Pyrenees, John saw himself reduced at a blow to the realm of Engl and.

Towards the SE corner of the New Forest lie the ruins of Beaulieu Abbey , a Cistercian house, founded in 1205 as Bellus Locus Regis, 'the beaut iful place' of King John. The austrer lines of its buildings were raise d in stone carried from the Isle of Wight and Caen in Normandy, and the A bbey Church was once the largest Cistercian church in England. Only its f oundations now remain, but a set of the Abbey's accounts surviving from t h 13th century provide a unique insight into the life of a medieval mon astery. ["The Ancient New Forest" by Lindsay Clarke, BRITISH HERITAGE, O ct/Nov 1998]

In 1212 King John prepared a massive army to crush Llywelyn once and fo r all. But the plan came to an abrupt halt. The kind ws shaken by rumor s of a plot inspired in France. His life would be threatened by betraya l durint the coming battle. In a stunning political somersault, John wr ong-footed his enemies by yielding to the Pope at last and surrendering e ngland as a fief to Rome.
Pope Innocent III was more than please to accept John's subjection, a long with large sums of money. The papal interdict and John's excommuni cation would be lifted. Now an attack on John would be an affront to th e Pope himself. The exiled churchmen would return, including Bishop Gil es de Braose, to absolve his sons. In reality, of course, John's church men loathed the deal and their renewed hatred sealed his reputation as E ngland's most wicked king.
John persistently denied the murder of Prince Arthur. He calculated t hat his new found papal protection would thwart the efforts of Philip o f France to bring him to trial. But Margam Abbey recorded an ugly story f or posterity informed, perhaps, by their patron William de Braose:
After King John had captured Arthur and kept him alive in prison for s ome time, at length in the castle of Rouen after dinner on the Thursday b efore Easter when he was drunk and possessed by the devil, he slew him w ith his own hand, and typing a heavy stone to the body cast it into the S eine. It was discovered by a fisherman in his net, and being dragged to t he bank and recognized, was taken for secret burial. ["Barons de Braose "
In order to suppress the flames of rebellino in Ireland, and to inquire i nto the oppressive conduct of the De Lacys, King John landed at Waterfo rd with an army, on 8 June 1210. This so intimidated the Irish, that up wards of 20 of their chiefs did homage to him in that city. The De Lacy s, conscious of their villainies and oppressions, fled to Carrickfergus o n the news of the King's arrival in Ireland. King John besieged the cas tle and Hugh and his brother Walter embarked in a vessel for France. Af ter the capture of the castle, the King threw many of De Lacy's barons a nd adherents into the dungeons, siezed on their lands and granted them t heir liberty only when he had wrung from them the last penny they were a ble to pay. He placed in the castle a garrison under the command of Wil liam de Serlande. The incorporation of the town is attributable to King J ohn during his stay in the castle. [Carrickfergus, p. 5]

King John made a gift of land to the Cistercian monks for the building o f Beaulieu Abbey in 1204. The monks who first cam to eaulieu thought th e location ideal, mainly due to it s proximity to a river and the fact t hat there were suitable building materials to be found close at hand. I t was a vast undertaking and King John's only religious foundation. ["P lace of the King" by Derek Littlewood, REALM June 2002, pp. 44-49]

Gorey Castle, Channel Islands, England dates back to the 13th century d uring the reign of England's King John. When Normandy was lost to the F rench and became enemy territory, this castle was built at Gorey, just 1 0 miles from the Normandy coast, in order to defend against French raid s. [Castles & Palaces Calendar, October 2003]

NORTHAMPTON CASTLE: There is practically nothering left of this once im portant medieval castle. The first sturcture was a motte castle, built i n the 1080s, on a site from which several Anglo-Saxon houses had been c leared. In c.1110, Henry I took over the castle and enlarged it. Works i nclude a substantial ditch and a rampart round a large bailey. This was o ne of thos occasions when the Crown paid compensation for encroaching u pon another owner's land. By 1164 the castle had a great hall, a gatewa y, curtain walling and a chapel. Soon afterwards, a great tower was bui lt although it is not possible to say what shape or size it achieved.
Northampton was besieged by the Magna Carta barons' forces using Fre nch-built siege artillery, but King John relieved the garrison and forc ed the attackers to withdraw. Major repairs were needed after this enga gement but, despite continuing expenditure, the castle was not properly d efensible by the time of the Barons' War against Henry III, led by Simo n de Montfort who used the castle as a headquarters. There was more spe nt on it over the next century but it continued to deteriorate. The rem ains were obscured by the erection of a railway over the site in the 19 th century. [Castles of Britain and Ireland, p. 165]
King John (December 24, 1167 - October 19, 1216) was King of England fr om 1199 to 1216. He was the youngest brother of King Richard I who was k nown as "Richard the Lionheart". Nicknames are "Lackland" (in French, s ans terre) and "Soft-sword".

John is best known for angering the barons to rebellion, so that they f orced him to agree to the Magna Carta in 1215, and then signing England o ver to the Pope to get out of the promises he made in that Great Charte r. The truth, however, is that he was no better or worse a king than hi s immediate predecessor or his successor (which is still not much of a c ompliment).

Born at Oxford, he was the fifth son of King Henry II of England and El eanor of Aquitaine, and was always his father's favourite son, though b eing the youngest, he could expect no inheritance (hence his nickname, " Lackland"). In 1189 he married Isabel, daughter of the Earl of Gloucest er. (She is given several alternative names by history, including Hawis e (or Avice), Joan, and Eleanor.) They had no children, and John had th eir marriage annulled on the grounds of consanguinity, some time before o r shortly after his accession to the throne, which took place on April 6 , 1199. (She then married Hubert de Burgh).

John "Lackland" King Of England [Parents] [scrapbook] 1 was born on 24 D ec 1166 in Kings Manor House, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He died on 1 9 Oct 1216 in , Newark, Nottinghamshire, England. He was buried in Cath edral, Worcester, Worcestershire, England. He married Agatha De Ferrers i n Unmarried.

Taillefer, Isabella De

John was born on Christmas Eve 1167. His parents drifted apart afte r his birth; his youth was divided between his eldest brother Henry's h ouse, where he learned the art of knighthood, and the house of his fath er's justiciar, Ranulf Glanvil, where he learned the business of govern ment. As the fourth child, inherited lands were not available to him, g iving rise to his nickname, Lackland. His first marriage lasted but ten y ears and was fruitless, but his second wife, Isabella of Angouleme, bor e him two sons and three daughters. He also had an illegitimate daughte r, Joan, who married Llywelyn the Great, Ruler of All Wales, from which t he Tudor line of monarchs was descended. The survival of the English go vernment during John's reign is a testament to the reforms of his fathe r, as John taxed the system socially, economically, and judicially.
The Angevin family feuds profoundly marked John. He and Richard cla shed in 1184 following Richard's refusal to honor his father's wishes s urrender Aquitane to John. The following year Henry II sent John to rul e Ireland, but John alienated both the native Irish and the transplante d Anglo-Normans who emigrated to carve out new lordships for themselves ; the experiment was a total failure and John returned home within six m onths. After Richard gained the throne in 1189, he gave John vast estat es in an unsuccessful attempt to appease his younger brother. John fail ed to overthrow Richard's administrators during the German captivity an d conspired with Philip II in another failed coup attempt. Upon Richard 's release from captivity in 1194, John was forced to sue for pardon an d he spent the next five years in his brother's shadow.
John's reign was troubled in many respects. A quarrel with the Chur ch resulted in England being placed under an interdict in 1207, with Jo hn actually excommunicated two years later. The dispute centered on Joh n's stubborn refusal to install the papal candidate, Stephen Langdon, a s Archbishop of Canterbury; the issue was not resolved until John surre ndered to the wishes of Pope Innocent III and paid tribute for England a s the Pope's vassal.
John proved extremely unpopular with his subjects. In addition to t he Irish debacle, he inflamed his French vassals by orchestrating the m urder of his popular nephew, Arthur of Brittany. By spring 1205, he los t the last of his French possessions and returned to England. The final t en years of his reign were occupied with failed attempts to regain thes e territories. After levying a number of new taxes upon the barons to p ay for his dismal campaigns, the discontented barons revolted, capturin g London in May 1215. At Runnymeade in the following June, John succumb ed to pressure from the barons, the Church, and the English people at-l arge, and signed the Magna Carta. The document, a declaration of feudal r ights, stressed three points. First, the Church was free to make eccles iastic appointments. Second, larger-than-normal amounts of money could o nly be collected with the consent of the king's feudal tenants. Third, n o freeman was to be punished except within the context of common law. M agna Carta, although a testament to John's complete failure as monarch, w as the forerunner of modern constitutions. John only signed the documen t as a means of buying time and his hesitance to implement its principl es compelled the nobility to seek French assistance. The barons offered t he throne to Philip II's son, Louis. John died in the midst of invasion f rom the French in the South and rebellion from his barons in the North.
John was remembered in elegant fashion by Sir Richard Baker in A Ch ronicle of the Kings of England: ". . .his works of piety were very man y . . . as for his actions, he neither came to the crown by justice, no r held it with any honour, nor left it peace."

Agatha De Ferrers 1 was born about 1168 in Of, Charltey, Staffordshire, E ngland. She married John "Lackland" King Of England in Unmarried.

They had the following children:

F i Joan Princess Of England
