During the middle ages ,the King owned all of the land in England . He rented this land to Barons and in return the Barons paid the King and provided him with knights . This system worked well for both parties but during the late 12 th and early 13 th centuries,the barons became increasingly uncomfortable with the deal .They demanded more rights from the King which King John was reluctant to give.However , signed a contract or the 'Magna Carta' in 1215 but did not honour the charter . The Barons eventually got together and rebelled .This rebellion known as the Baron's revolt was the first 'Baron's War' (1215 - 1217) Later in the second half of the century a Frenchman, Simon de Montfort, led the barons in a second revolt resulting in two famous battles (Lewes 1264 ) and Evesham in 1267 where de Montfort was killed and the revolt was crushed by Edward 1 the most notorious king of the Middle Ages
the barons helped the king by giving them knights and doing military service and in return the king gave them a Little bit of Land

King John
King Henry III of England faced significant opposition from the barons due to his perceived mismanagement and favoritism towards foreign advisors, which alienated the English nobility. His heavy taxation to fund wars and extravagant spending also fueled discontent. Additionally, his failure to adequately involve the barons in governance and his reliance on a small circle of trusted allies led to a breakdown in trust, sparking the Barons' Revolt and increasing animosity towards his rule.

The Siege of Rochester in 1215 was primarily caused by the conflict between King John of England and rebellious barons who opposed his rule. The barons had taken control of Rochester Castle as part of their revolt against the king's heavy taxation and perceived abuses of power. In response, King John sought to reclaim the castle to reassert his authority, leading to the siege. The conflict was part of the larger struggle during the First Barons' War, which ultimately resulted in the Magna Carta.
