[Nimble Awesomeness]

John Lackland, the famously historic king of England. Most known for being the younger brother to Richard the Lion Hearted. How did John come about being king while his brother was off crusading? I’ll tell you.
When Richard left, John had a plan. He sat at his desk and waited. That’s it. He just sat. While his brother was off crusading, everyone else was panicking on whether he was dead or not he just sat there. Finally, once no one had a clue as to whether Richard was dead or not, John proclaimed his brother as dead, which rightfully made him king. The people that were running the kingdom is Richard’s place called John out for it and out-right said it was a bald faced lie. This didn’t sit well with John.
John immediately wrote a letter to his secret alliance; King Philip of France. He and Philip had been plotting Richard’s downfall together ever since he left for the crusades. John asked Philip to threaten war on England, the very place he wished to rule. He also went to the always-rebellious Welshmen and exchanged their fighting-forces for a few castles. Philip agreed and threatened war upon the English. The Welsh attacked and were beaten back easily by the English; the castles they had been bribed with were also taken back. The French were so scared by the battle between the Welsh and the English that they abandoned their threat of war.
Now was a bad time for John, Philip and even Richard. News of Richard’s whereabouts came to England and turns out that the Duke of Austria had captured Richard and sold him for a hefty price to the Emperor of Germany. Richard demanded that England pay his ransom of 940 pounds, in silver at that. To get John to help pay, they gave him his re-captured castles back to him. Slowly but surely, England gathered up the ransom. John panicked. Once they had over half the ransom, they sent it off to the German Emperor. John and Philip quickly sent a offer of one hundred and fifty thousand marks if he refused to let Richard go or give him to John and Philip. The emperor laughed in Richard’s face when he read the letter, showed it to Richard, and set the true English king free.
John fell at Richards feet to beg for forgiveness. Instead, Richard picked him up, started walking and offered him some freshly caught salmon. Later, Richard heard of a great treasure. He and his men took off to raid the walls of Chalus, where the treasure lay hidden. Two archers watched him as he rode by on his horse, and one decided to test his arrows worth by shooting at him. A hit. Richard was mortally wounded. For days the Englishmen raided the castle by foot, the great catapults heaving stones at the walls. Finally, the castle surrendered some treasure. The English had won. Richard died right after he forgave the archer that had killed him with the words, “Ha, let him go free!”
Arthur, the rightful heir to the throne, was but a boy and the bishops and barons were skeptical to make him king. John met with him and was going to put out his eyes so that he couldn’t be king. The executioners were dubious and the refused to put out John’s nephews eyes. A short while later, John called Arthur before him and asked him kindly if he would obey “his loving uncle and lord.” Arthur flatly refused and rudely demanded the surrender of England. John decided on a compromise and Arthur was locked up in a tower in Rouen.
Throughout the times of John’s rule over England, he collected taxes, taxes and more taxes. It seemed he had a wanting for gaining every bit of money in all of England. Thus began the merchants forming guilds. They formed together and demanded rights from John. They petitioned and got John to sign a charter, a sort of thing that gave the townspeople rights and liberties. They paid John, and John gave them charters with his very own seal.
