| Notes for John PLANTAGENET, KING OF ENGLAND |
| A lustful, greedy man, he sired five children out of wedlock and kept mistresses during his two marriages. He was forced by his barons to sign the Magna Charta after inflation and the heavy cost of his wars and attempts to hold onto the Plantagenet domains in France (except Gascony). He lacked the decisive leadership qualities of his father. His nickname "Lackland" derives from the fact he was excluded from the distribution of his father's vast estates. |
