King John was a British king after the supposed death of Richard I. When he became king, he began to make himself even richer by taxing people until they had nothing left to pay. When he discovered this, he didn't care. Instead, he imprisoned his enemies and sometimes his own people whenever he felt like it. One reason why was he felt that just because he was king, he could do whatever he felt like doing. However, when he signed the Magna Carta, he tried to break his promise, but then died.
