King John makes people think that he is bad because of Disney. The truth is that he wasn't that bad, yes he did lose the Avegein empire (the english empire in France) and yes he did tax people heavily. He let people kill priests he got excommunicated and others. But like all other people King John is a human being. He built libraries wherever he would go, he would travel around the country (something that many Kings wouldn't do) he increased the navy's power too. So it is all Propaganda.

The barons didn't like that King John tried to centralize the political power in England. He also had the whole country excommunicated, raised taxes and killed Arthur.

The monks wrote bad things about John,some even false because King John didnt like the pope and the pope didnt like him.
probably as he did many bad things like attempting to kidnap his grandmother. i think it was mainly Richards fault because he was king before and hated England so he didn't care about money etc

King John was considered a bad king . Very greedy selfish this was mainly for being a bad king and raising taxes!
