Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    John was born in 1167, when his mother (Eleanor of Aquitaine) was 45. He was known by several nicknames, the two best known being "Lackland" as, on his majority, his parents had no land to give him, even though he prostrated himself on the floor, in front of his father, and begged for Ireland!. And "Softsword", most unusual because he actually died fighting, on the way to Newark, on 1216. He is buried in the nave of Worcester Cathedral.
