First Barons' War (1 Jan 1215 Jahr – 1 Jan 1217 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The First Barons' War (1215–1217) was a civil war in the Kingdom of England in which a group of rebellious major landowners (commonly referred to as barons) led by Robert Fitzwalter with a French army under the future Louis VIII of France, waged war against King John of England. The war resulted from King John's refusal to accept and abide by Magna Carta, which he had sealed on 15 June 1215.

After John's death the ambitions of the French crown prince Louis to be King of England meant that many of the rebels switched sides and the war dragged on. The war ended after French defeats at Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217 and Louis was forced to sign the Treaty of Lambeth. This formalised the end of the civil war and the departure of the French from England.
