On Richard’s death in 1199 his brother John continued to tax the kingdom to pay for wars in France. The barons began to grumble. John’s wars were expensive. Worse still they ended in defeat in 1214. John also quarrelled with the Church and in 1208 Pope Innocent III placed England under an Interdict which meant all the churches were closed and John’s subjects were told to disobey him. Peace was finally made with the Church in 1214.
