He is believed to have been one of the worst Kings ever to rule over England, and King John’s reign over his nation was one which was categorised by losses of land and by rebellion. He was the King who was forced to sign the Magna Carta and he was a man who was suspicious and vengeful. He was a man who had a large knowledge of his country, however inside of Newark Castle on the 19th October 1216 at the age of 49, King John died. He was described as someone who was ‘distasteful, and even dangerous,’ as well as a man who was very cruel. However over the centuries the King’s coffin following its burial was broken into and what those people saw was incredible.
