Throughout his 17 year reign the man who would be forever known as Bad King John betrayed those closest to him, persecuted the innocent and was the first King of England to be accused of murder by his own hands. Writing after John's death a medievil chronicler said of him "He feared not God nor respected men. His punishments were refinements of cruelty, the starvation of children, the crushing of old men, his court was a brothel where no woman was safe."
