King John was a CUNT

DISCUSS!

CONFIRMED by Maid Marian & her Merry Men, which is good enough for me.

Look at his shit hipster beard and the poor grip on his pool cue. The cuntishness shines from his every pore.

I've only recently discovered Robin Hood was set about a century later than Richard the Lionheart and King John.

He taxed widows for getting remarried. If they couldn't pay, he'd take their property.

I quite love this running theme throughout British history where every monarch was an absolute arsehole. They weren't even necessarily despots, just pantomime villains.

He's alleged to have murdered someone too!

He speaks very highly of you.

While his brother gets all the glory for never spending any time in England and fighting Muslims.

Did you know he married an ELEVEN YEAR OLD?

Which was actually relatively common at the time, but what sets this act of noncery apart from the others is that he was ALREADY MARRIED to another woman, and then sent his new CHILD-BRIDE to his ex' house for her to raise.

He really was a treat.

He died of diarrhoea.

Also he lost all the crowns and jewels of the Anglo-Norman monarchs in THE WASH.

MOOPY MEET?

MOOPY MEET?

Dreaded Moopmeet awaiting our fate in the Tower of London.

One guy wouldn't pay his ridiculous taxes, so John hunted him down and took all his property. The guy fled to France. In the meantime John arranged for the guys wife and children to be STARVED TO DEATH.

There really was something rather Trumpian about it all, except with pillage and murder.

Although they definitely have paedophilia in common.

Is anyone TEAM JOHN?

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

I bet @Barnacle thinks he's misunderstood.

I had a good poke around The Wash with my plastic spade when we went to Butlins Skegness in 1988, but no luck

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Has anyone ever tried to recover the lost treasure? I feel like The Wash is a bit like England's Bermuda triangle.

Also no-one voluntarily goes to Norfolk.

"One local man thinks..." is usually the start of a sentence that leads to wasted Google searches and shattered dreams.

The lost jewels of Bad King John

Rising tides swept away King John’s baggage carts – and treasure – in 1216. Now, a local man has become obsessed with a quest to find the hoard, using some unconventional methods.

England was COMPLETELY SKINT after paying the ransom for QUEEN RICHARD LIONHEART!

He didn't need to be a bitch about it though!

I have respect for anyone who doesn't need a regnal number.

I feel like most of it's probably in the seabed in the North Sea.

I feel like a windfarm company are wondering what do with their haul of medieval treasures.
