Prince John, was King Richard the Lion Hearted's brother. After the crusade, King Richard was captured. So Prince John took the throne. He was cruel. Perhaps the story Robbin hood will help you remember. Prince John along with The Sheriff of Nottingham were the villains in this story.
Yes. King Richard I passed the kingdom of England onto Prince John to inherit who became king after Richard I as Richard had no children of his own to be his heir so John was Richard's heir.
In the legend of Robin Hood, King Richard the Lionheart is succeeded by his brother, Prince John, who becomes King John.
Not a whole lot, but he seemed to enjoy doing it. Richard (the lionhearted) was a great warrior, but he was a lousy king. He was succeeded by his brother, prince John (the evil prince John of the Robin Hood legend), who was actually a much better king that his brother.
Prince John is the primary antagnoist in the Robin Hood stories. He is the youngest brother to King Richard I, the Lion-Hearted and became king in his own right in 1199. The story is that John overthrew Richard's justicar and claimed the throne as his own in 1191, thinking his brother would never return from the Crusades. It was during that time that he began taxing the people and persecuting anyone who was still loyal to Richard. This gave rise to Robin Hood and his band. The real story isn't far off, though John was never actually siuccessful in claiming the thron until Richard died on his own in 1199.
King John succeeded his brother King Richard (Richard the Lionheart) in 1199.
King John, the brother of Richard I (Richard the Lionheart).
