What can we learn about King John from Source A?
3. What evidence is there for this?
2. What does this suggest?
My statement is
supported by
the fact that he
lost the majority
of the Angevin
Empire that his
predecessors
had conquered
for him. He also
quarrelled with
the Pope, over
who should be
the Archbishop
of Canterbury,
the Irish after
mocking them
and King Phillip
II of France. His
barons even
rebelled against
him and forced
him to agree to
the Magna
Carta!
This suggests
that King John
was not right
for the role of
King of England
and the job was
too big for him.
This could
suggest King
John’s cruelty
1. What can we see?
