iii. Agatha, 28G Grandmother, F. Born in 1168 in Charltey, Staffordshire, England.

It is known that Agatha was a mistress of John, but it is only su pposition that she is the mother of his child.

Agatha married John I Lackland King of England, 28G Grandfather, M, son of Henry II FitzEmpress Curtmantle King of England (329), M (25 Mar 1133-6 Jul 1189) & Eleanor Duchess of Aquitaine, F (abt 1122-1 Apr 1204). Born on 24 Dec 1167 in Beaumont Palace, Oxford, England. John I Lackland King of died in Newark Castle, Newark, Nottinghamshire, England on 19 Oct 1216, he was 48. Buried in Worcester Cathedral, England.

John (reigned 1199-1216) was an able administrator interested in la w and government but he neither trusted others nor was trusted by them. Heavy taxation, disputes with the Church (John was excommunicated by the Pope in 1209) and unsuccessful attempts to recover his French possessions made him u npopular. Many of his barons rebelled and in June 1215 they forced the King t o sign a peace treaty accepting their reforms. This treaty, later known as Mag na Carta, limited royal powers, defined feudal obligations between the King a nd the barons, and guaranteed a number of rights. The most influential clause s concerned the freedom of the Church; the redress of grievances of owners an d tenants of land; the need to consult the Great Council of the Realm so as t o prevent unjust taxation; mercantile and trading relationships; regulation o f the machinery of justice so that justice be denied to no one; and the req uirement to control the behaviour of royal officials. The most important clau ses established the basis of habeas corpus ('you have the body'), i.e. that n o one shall be imprisoned except by due process of law, and that 'to no one w ill we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay right or justice'. The Charte r also established a council of barons who were to ensure that the Sovereign observed the Charter, with the right to wage war on him if he did not. Magna Carta was the first formal document insisting that the Sovereign was as much under the rule of law as his people; and that the rights of individuals were to be upheld even against the wishes of the sovereign. As a source of fundame ntal constitutional principles, Magna Carta came to be seen as an important d efinition of aspects of English law, and in later centuries as the basis of t he liberties of the English people. As a peace treaty Magna Carta was a fail ure and the rebels invited Louis of France to become their king. When John di ed in 1216 England was in the grip of civil war.
