John, King of England
John
(24 December 1166 – 19 October 1216), also known as
John Lackland
(
Norman French
:
Johan sanz Terre
), was
King of England
from 6 April 1199 until his death in 1216. Following the
battle of Bouvines
, John lost the
duchy of Normandy
to King
Philip II of France
, which resulted in the collapse of most of the
Angevin Empire
and contributed to the subsequent growth in power of the
Capetian dynasty
during the 13th century. The
baronial revolt
at the end of John's reign led to the sealing of the
Magna Carta
, a document sometimes considered to be an early step in the evolution of the
constitution of the United Kingdom
.
