Where the hell did any of this stupid noblelity come from and who made the first so called king ? A Norseman ? England have been murderers since they started their kingdom building just like cain nimrod and all greedy kingdom builders, so why has Englands nobality sale their souls to satans antichrist inquisition sodomites pedophiles popes roman empire jesuits freemasons elites luciferians babylon system sun-day sungoddess worship again ? Many englanders died for free conscience to serve GOD JESUS CHRIST and now England is owned by the vatican !
Instead of handing out buttplugs, They should teach and study history before they react and criticize! The American Republic was not born 1876, 1776, 1619,or 1492! It was born on the steps of the Parthenon 500 BC, Baptized on the steps of the Roman Senate, and we have had to fight for it, protect it and nurture it ever since, for it to exist today, so snowflakes learn first why and how America was made, until then snowflakes have no right to judge or condemn!

"Too late to be called John The First, he will forever be known as John The Worst."
Lol. You watched the Disney animated movie. That is one of my favorites.
@@samsnead7 It would seem that Disney actually did there research on King John of England. They did make a very realistic depiction of him in the movie.
Everybody's singing it "The phony King of England "
Too late to be known as John the first he’s sure to be known as John the Worst !! A pox on the phony king of England
Funny that he was also the best king John so far.
Tbh..... I don't think he was as bad as normally made out to be. In the time leading up to Bouvines, John had the whole of the British isles by the balls. Losing the continental possessions was nearly a forgone conclusion. I'd argue that Edward II and probably Henry III were worse. And John was better then even Richard I in one VERY crucial aspect- he sired a son and an heir. Even if we believe Richards homosexuality he still should have pulled a Renly and made and tried to make an heir.
"What of it? I'm not a fan of fish, but when fish is served, I eat it".
John is a fascinating failure.
And he was surrounded by so many epic people. William Marshal, Eleanor of Aquitaine, King Philip of France, etc.
No mention of the Sheriff of Nottingham and the ‘cancelled Christmas’ (Alan Rickman.) 😉
Fascinating yes. However they all actively hated each other.
I would say he was a major success. If all constitutions are influenced by his political philosophies…!!!
"Too late to be known as John the First, he's sure to be known as John the Worst!" 😆
I hope King John I is burning in Hell with his direct descendants King Henry III, King Edward I, Margaret Beaufort, King Henry VII, King Henry VIII, Marie de Medici, King Louis XIV, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI, and Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧
A victim of circumstance, a king who did not, would not, accept limits on his behaviour, spending, and power. But in the end, a king who resisted what must have been an almost overwhelming temptation to go to war against his own high born people-- and he could have had a pretty good go at it, if he'd managed to get serfs, peasants, men tied and free, onto his side. If he had been as manipulating, greedy, and coniving as he's sometimes portrayed, he could definitely, with some false promises, some showy spending, have sandwiched the barons between royalty and low born, and possibly prevailed. It would have ruined England for hundreds of years, but John could have done it.
This was fascinating and very informative. Thank you very many much for all the research and hard work that went into actually making this doco, and for uploading it. The production itself was very well done. I thought I knew King John, but now realise I've still got a lot to learn.
I'm looking forward to hearing this again, as I go to sleep (please don't be offended, it's just you've got a calming narrative going here, and also I think I'll need more than one repeat to fully grasp KJ impact.
Thanks, kudos!
For John to try and appeal to common people he would have to have been a "big picture" kind of thinker and he really wasn't. Also he'd have to see the common people as more than a step up from animals, which was how the nobles saw common people at the time.
@@amyrat151 yes, I don't think he'd have had qualms about the people he involved. In fact he'd be more likely to use and abuse, but I like it that he didn't try
@@amyrat151 how do you know from Disney b,s of history loled
modern day robin hood would be on his side if told right loled little john and robin hood lol
@@allmightlionthunder5515 I didn't get my information from Robin Hood but from the Great Chain of Being. John wasn't special in his view of the common people. It was culturally accepted as truth in the Middle Ages.
I can respect his quick response to rescuing his Mother from Arthur
John was dealt a losing hand by his father and elder brother, who preceded him as king. He was a vigorus and active ruler who did the very best that could be done with the hand that was dealt him. He showed remarkable staying power, given all his enemies who were determined to overthrow him. He worked hard at his job right up to his dying day. He was loyal to his supporters who were loyal to him, and left his kingdom in honest and capable hands. He insured the succession of his sons to the throne.
Ensured the succession.... More then his brother did and arguably one of the most important duties of a king
He better had considering he murdered his nephew Arthur I, Duke of Brittany the rightful heir to the English throne. Arthur was the son of Geoffrey Duke of Brittany the brother who fell between Richard and John.
But in all fairness there is not much a king can due if they die while the heir is a young boy and there are close powerful relatives looking to take the throne.
John was a tyrant and kinslayer and a poor military leader who lost the Angelin empire to Philip. Hes the reason Rchard had to spent his last years reclaiming Angevin because he gave them away to Philip while he was on crusade. He also tried to bribe the HRE to keep Richard imprisoned so he could usurp his brothers throne. Nothing redeemable about this loser
Agreed
He was an overly paranoid scheming brat who squandered the Empire his father built and brother expanded by alienating and insulting the powerful people under him and destroyed his Empire through his military ineptitude
I’ve been excited to watch this one! Thank you for the excellent and carefully researched videos. They’re always top notch!
Wow! This period of history was more complicated than I knew
King John I of England had his belly button pierced. 🎭🩰🎨
I love these cause i can enjoy them as i work ir do chores around the house all the while this plays in the background.
Except for anything to do with English politics.
It takes ones absolute and full attention due to the constant web of connections and plethora of players involved in each story.
One error - the narrator describes Arthur, Duke of Brittany, as Eleanor of Aquitaine’s nephew at 40:40. He was her grandson!
I really love this channel, really good presentation every time.
The period of time between Henry II and King John has to be one of the most dramatic periods in British History. The attack on Becket, Richard I and the 3rd Crusade and then Magna Carta. Just to name a few big events in a very short time period.
A lot did happen in England and Europe\Middle East in a short peroid of time.
and the treaty of 1213
John was a capable administrator, but poor strategist, Richard I was a brilliant strategist but had no interest in administration of England🤷🏽 John had many faults, but wasn't the worst English king. The two I cannot split as the worst were Richard II and Henry VI. As always, brilliant documentaries, always learning something new.
@@perniciouspete4986 yes, definitely Edward II is a strong candidate, probably sitting just underneath Richard II and Henry VI. I'm almost inclined to put Henry VI as the worst - the power vacuum from his mental incapacity and being completely unfit to govern contributed to what would eventually lead to the Wars of the Roses.
Richard was such a brilliant strategist that John inherited a kingdom that Richard had completely beggared.
I think that had they worked together, they could've been a truly terrifying force
Even low he was a warmonger thy can paid taxes for war but cant paid to kept up England loled
administrator can be counted as a good strategist to no same kind of paining but if no one fellows order what happens lol
This is wonderful. Thank you.
Great job, my goodness it was tuff being a king in those days. You forgot to interject the story of Robin Hood, Errol Flynn fought King John and Won back in 1940’s! May God richly bless everyone ✝️🇺🇸.
Commendable sir, thank you .
Love these videos. Thank you! 😊
Excellent. The Magna Carta fascinates this man, and such telling as this is essential for import as to the importance of the Magna Carta to this day. I was unaware just how much influence the US Constitution writers, were influenced by this document, till quite recently.
Fun Fact: The Magna Carta was wrote by Stephen Langton in a type of Latin that the king and none of the lords could read.
This is gonna be wicked! Just clicked it as soon as I seen it!
Who do you think is the worst English Monarch? I personally think that it’s Athelred The Unready. His massacre of Danes in 1006 led to The Danes invading England and driving Ethelred to Normandy. Athelred only took back England due to the death of King Sweyn. Thanks to his father’s incompetence, Edmund II had to fight Cnut. Unfortunately for Edmund, he was defeated, gave up most of England and was murdered. King Ethelred’s stupidity and shortsightedness caused 2 conquests of England and paved the way for the 1066 conquest of England.
Richard III...
@@PeopleProfiles really? Why? I'm thinking more about his place in the chain rather than largely unfounded rumours about the Prices in the Tower, his marriage etc. You've given me some brain fodder, thanks
@@perniciouspete4986 Queen Elizabeth will rule until the next millennium.
@@PeopleProfiles No argument with that, thinking that he trumps Edward II, who was probably not as cruel a monster. Mind you, all of the Stuarts seemed to me to be self-obsessed god worshippers. Catholic nightmares. Edward XIII, while utterly useless, doesn't count I think, as kings at this late time did pretty much bugger all.
@@Sulla-ps3jv this aged like milk
A lesser son of greater sires and a cub to his brother a lion who preceded him as king and unworthy of the loyalty of the greatest knight of all time.
Iirc that Lion spent only 6 months of us reign actually *in* England...he didn't have much time to have loyalty awarded
@@bilindalaw-morley161 Richard only spent 6 months in england as king true preparing for his crusade. However that was what was expected of a medieval king which was to go on crusade. Richard respected Marshall and realised after nearly dying at his hand he'd better keep him around. Richard also had Eleanor firmly in his corner and she was a powerful force capable of leading the state.
Name one great thing Richard did as king of England.
@@tomascatts3855 punished people who had attacked jews and condemned such religious violence before going on crusade to ensure the stability of his kingdom during his absence.
Thanks for a most comprehensive overview.
A terrible lot for a man to bear.
I find your work to be fascinating.
Another ancestor on my mother’s side of the family
Me too!😊
King John was my great grandfather many times back through the Yale family who came to America.
I'm always very interested in English history. After watching this episode I have a better understanding of the Magna Carta. King John had a great impact on English law and should be known as the Father of Britain for all of his accomplishments. I felt kinda bad for him. In other words, "don't deal me that hand and I won't play my cards."
It’s funny because at first he was kind of a “soft” ruler. But it seems like because he knew people were starting to dislike him he started to take more decisive actions and those still failed. But it may have been too little too late at that point.
This was excellent.
What English kings will you cover next. I’d like to see videos for Henry IV and Henry VI. Also would like to see ones for William II and Henry I.
Eleanor and John were both especially exceptional...
... preferring literature & jurisprudence in lieu of butchery...
hello, i'm still trying to take this all in . i am young yet , in my armchair historian seat 😉😉😉😉still trying , to take it all in🤔🤔🤔🤔i'll get there . great awesome share , thank you , for sharing.......will watch again ....
Very adept and thorough account on the life and reign of King John. King John I believe had to adapt accordingly to the brutality of his time period. Even though he was treacherous and brutal, he really kind of had to be. His time era was literally kill or be killed.
All those around him were living in the same environment and managed to live without commiting tyranny against his own brother,the King, with his and the countries sworn enemy. Only to betray said sworn enemy when he got scared because his warrior brother was on his way to kick both their asses. Richard forgave him btw. So valor is a choice.
@@marleneg7794 it's a coincidence you mentioned when his warrior brother came back from the trip to Jerusalem. You know the 1953 film Ivanhoe even shows what you mentioned.
@@marleneg7794 Well that does exclude John's own brother Richard from the list of the virtuous then. The guy who rebelled against his own father several times.
Country sworn enemies ? The concept of country didn't even exist at that time.
Excellent! I've watched the whole thing! 😉
Lol they dropped this like an hour ago - literally impossible.
@@eliteviktor3 I made the comment 3 minutes after they posted it. I was trying to provoke them. 😄
You guys should do an episode about queen Isabella the she-wolf of France. And explore her early life and how she got married to Edward the 2nd and also her relationship with roger Mortimer and how they defeated Edward the 2nd and got her son on the throne.
Then how she chose her lover over her son, and tried to keep him from power. The son, later known as the great Edward III, had to overthrow his mother and Mortimer.
🎶The world will sing of an English king,
A thousand years from now,
But not because he passed some laws,
Or had that lofty brow…🎵
John biggest problem was being the last son born to Henry II. He was never expected to be king. Also considering the chaos of the proceeding 10 or 20 years, it is hard to see how John could have had a successful kingship. The Plantagenets seemed to be unable to decide if they were French or English. I think this was a great weakness. John was criticized for the loss of lands in France, but in the long run, France and England needed to be separate kingdoms. I think the Magna Carta was very important for the future. To summarize, King was the placed between the old medieval and the modern era. The conflict between the future and the past was something John I tried but failed to navigate.
I hope King John I is burning in Hell with his direct descendants King Henry III, King Edward I, Margaret Beaufort, King Henry VII, King Henry VIII, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧

I know that none of this is a comedy, but I laughed almost all the way through this after it got started good! That John, was a pretty interesting guy, lol.
If I remember correctly Eleanor of Aquitaine was essential in raising the ransom for Richard. If I am correct, I don't believe that was mentioned in this Documentary and maybe it should have been.
girl knew john was hopeless
Yes she did although it never arrived. King Richard secured his own release.
@@chelseagruenwald John was a better administrator than Richard.
@@Prodigi50 he was also a tyrant and an incompetent military leader
Very interesting
Bonjour à tous. At 6:25 John was taken to the Abbaye de Fontevraud... The images showed are not Fontevraud. I was lucky enough to have worked there for almost two years and spent a great deal of a time wandering around, inside and outside... That is definetly not Fontevraud...
isnt King John pricne John from Robin Hood
Can you make queen victoria of england next is that i love your videos and i love history
A shame John's reign was such a failure for England & the monarchy. Because the name "John" is such a strong ancient & noble name,but his negative legacy has prevented it from being used by his ancestors. Well done as always "Peoples Profiles"!
You mean his descendents not ancestors. Ancestors are the people who come before you. And although there has never been another King John of England or the UK there have been members of the Royal family with that name eg: George V's youngest son
I wish Prince John did not die so young so that he could kill his older brothers and become King John II. 👑💍🇬🇧

You should do a profile on King James the First of England, known for the New King James, and King James Bibles, which are up there with the most read versions of the Bible to date, all time. Thank u for your vids, they’re incredible😊
He was a pedophile.
26:17 - Dude looks like a young George Washington
They are related
I love him saying "issue".
Lol
It was a shame that richard died so young. I think john was a victim of low expectations from his subjects and family. He was not raised to rule and would of been more suited to assisting richard as he possessed attributes that richard lacked. He also fell victim of trusting the french and maybe should of realised that king philip was not someone to trust and plotted against him in the same way
N'importe quoi, vous avez un don pour falsifié l'histoire en votre faveur les anglais.
Whatever, you have a knack for falsifying history in your English favor.
@@franceendanger4367 You think the French did not change history in their favour?
Please do one about the White Ship and the ensuing civil war.
Watch the Lion in WInter with Peter Otoole and Katherine Hepburn.. shows him in not a great light.
Idk Henry VI & Edward II where pretty awful kings it's definitely a debate..
Now Charles iii. Charles iii is WEF.
My 25th great grandfather knew King John I of England personally. My 25th great grandfather not only knew King John I personally, he also had floor length hair. My 25th great grandfather was absolutely devastated when King John I died at age 49 in late 1216. My 25th great grandfather mourned the death of King John I of England for decades. May they rest together in peace. 💐🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼
How come on other posts on this channel and the Useful Charts channel you say you hope King John is burning in hell and now you want him to rest in peace. If you are going to carry on posting absolute nonsense you could at least be consistent
Spotted a mounted knight swinging a sword which bent visibly : ) at approx 46.30
😂😂 46:34
46:34 The knight's sword bends twice. 😅
Lumps of gold that size would require much heavier weights in the opposite balance pan !
from the information displayed i really think that john was so passionate about his family’s land that he did absolutely anything he could including exploitations of his people and a bit of atrocity (starving the irish queen) if it meant he could get the land back
Clearly a bad omen when Johns throne and crown were washed away.
Greatest legacy for the worst king
His legacy is his swarmy behavior...most people don't associate the magna Carta to him
@@marleneg7794 agreed but his name is still unfortunately on it

Every time I think of king john I think of his nephew the poor Arthur Plantagenet duke of brittany and his poor sister eleanor the fair maid of brittany. What this horrible man did to them both was a great tragedy. Even by Plantagenet standards. The boy was murdered probably by John and the boy's sister was kept a virtual prisoner by John and his successor Henry III. This was because Arthur and Eleanor had a better claim to the English throne than John. (They were the children of his older brother Geoffrey Plantagenet Duke Of Brittany).
The Magna Carta actually only restricted the ķing's prerogatives vis-a-vis the barons. It did nothing to establish the rights of the non-nobility or the common people.
King Johns laws were good for the people they were guranteed land if of the land he encouraged loyalty and courage
Is there one on King Billy .
Never know his story, this is interesting
what is that Castle at 33:33?
Mont Saint-Michel
King John is my 25th great grandfather, king Henry II is my 26th great grandfather and Geoffrey count of Anjou is my 27th great grandfather.
King John has no direct descendants
@@kashfiaislam9995yes he did. One of his children was king Henry III of England.
@@kashfiaislam9995he has 5 children; 3 sons and 2 daughters.
@@jim-pauladams9194 No he doesn’t. In fact King John was infertile.
@@kashfiaislam9995 king John I of England had 5 children with at least 2 mistresses. I guess illegitimate, but his son Henry still became King Henry the III of England.
Illegitimate is still direct blood and a full blooded child.
As fascinating as I find it, I shall never get as good a grip on history as I should like. For me I find it far too linear. This, then that, then this and then.... too many names crammed into five minutes. Foreign names alluding to foreign people and foreign places. Not that I have an aversion to anything foreing. It just makes the task even more difficult.
I`m more attuned to Science ( and my main inquiry is into mathematics ), but I`d love to get an education in History to complete what education I have. The Arts, the Fine Arts is another love of mine which - since it contains much history - remains a mystery to me. There is no pill that will cure me.
Just annobservation: trade networks were not discovered,invented, or built during this time period. The record shows trade flourished all across the known world especially in the med. You make out it like they crawled out if caves er zomething. Other quibles nor gonna mention them cuz they are my opinions lol. Good vid
King John was an amazing man that's why I represent him
Louis VIII of France was king 1223-1226, not 1202-1246 as is stated in the picture at 38:03. He was born in 1187, not 1186.
Batu khan, son of Burky khan, became Muslim and fought with hulego army that weaked both big armies. Helped European nations to survive from disaster.
The only thing that I repect is that he rescued his mother. Pure heart.
Pure heart in what way, lmao?
Wonderful documentary presentation. Thank you. As for the kings and the barons, all of them were a bunch of murderous bell-ends not worth a wet wank in my estimation. And as for the Magna Carta, it was simply an agreement between kings and barons, and did not mention the people who did all the work in mediaeval England. They did not count.
It’s not ok to deprive society of its own benefit too the point of all out rebellion. Somehow very relevant to today.
I feel like the bloke who narrated this and the majority of other historians don't really know what they are going on about. Frankly they contradict themselves on many occasions. He seemed to do a lot of decent stuff in my opinion and played a pretty important role. I will admit he may have made a few rash decisions but overall he was a pretty good conqueror and should be given more credit. There have been way worse kings and a lot of his wrongdoings have clearly been embellished for some reason.
in pampered by his mother I think he was a coward also I believe his mother would’ve made a better ruler than he ever could
Well, even after the standards of that time, where all rulers did questionable things (after our modern standards)...the starving to death of a mother and her child was pretty evil.
was the dramatic pause before "...The Anarchy" a part of historical records? Not being smart, seems like something they'd do back then.
I still think Henry VI was the worst king of England but no doubt John is close
I disagree. He got rid of the Catholic con men; helped establish a English language by translating the Bible; and eventually recognized his daughter Elizabeth!
@@davidlondon9002 that was Henry VIII not VI
They moulded Christianity in Roman times. Very sad how women were cut off when it became the sole religion. Then agsin, even today women aren’t considered equal by many. It’s very sad.
Well what do you know there is still history on history channels
I serve Richard the Leonhart and non other.
Same
The workers, knights, clergy. And those who owned everything.
Look at the Sumerian Standard of Ur. Same social and economic pyramid 5,000 yrs ago.
wow today we would' call him a tory
There's nothing about John's reputed hanging of Isabella's lover on her bed post, or some such demonstrative vindictive gesture. Why was it not mentioned? Also, it is good to say which chroniclers recordered his reign and what they said about him, i.e. more emphasis on the sources would be great. This video seems to be sympathetic to John; it appears he was fighting on every side repelling attack from all corners and that made him tax everybody. When you say "barons" it is good to actually mention each by name and title, at least once. Otherwise quite a good piece.
Dispatch his parts most private to a Rutland tree….haha
Many names, many dates, all very confusing. Fascinating though (maybe cos I come from Newark-on-Trent. 🐨🇦🇺
Thanks for a biography of yet another ancestor of mine, great biography
Swear ur related to everyone
I've just found out he is one of my Ancestors, So I have a lot investigating to do
Why didnt John just pit the Barrons against the serfs?
As the stories are todl "told" it's surprising the power of "rule" lasts long as it does. Leads me to believe there is substantial goodness left out.
Todl: verb
present tense
1. To continually communicate information, facts, or news to someone in spoken or written words without objective consideration.
"I todl you were coming"
"I todl you were coming"
"I todl you were coming"
"I todl you were coming"
"I todl you were coming"
You get the idea.
I can't stand John or Richard. Their father was one of the greats and the empire he built was all squandered away by their stupidity in a few short years. Imagine what could have been if Henry had children at least as half capable as himself.
The more I learn about King John the more he seems to have been the Vladimir Putin of British history.

So how bad was it? Population boom? Economic boom? Creativity?
King John isn't the worst king, that goes to Aethelred the Unready imo, but he isn't far off. He was a schemer and opportunist as well as a usurper.
