JOHN, son of HENRY II King of England & his wife Eléonore Dss d'Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 24 Dec 1166 or 1167-Newark Castle, Lincolnshire 18/19 Oct 1216, bur Worcester Cathedral[558]). The primary sources are contradictory regarding John’s year of birth. Robert of Torigny records the birth "1167…in vigilia Natalis Domini" of "Johannis filius regis Anglorum"[559]. Ralph de Diceto’s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1166 that “Alienor regina” gave birth to “filium...Johannem”[560]. Matthew Paris records that “Alienor Anglorum regina” gave birth to “filium…Johannes”, stating neither the place nor the precise date but the passage is located in the middle of text which records events in 1166[561]. The Annals of Burton record the birth of “Regina…Johannem filium suum” in 1166[562]. The Annals of Dunstable record the birth of “Alienor…filium Johannem” at the end of the paragraph dealing with events in 1165 and immediately before the start of the paragraph for 1167, although it is likely that 1166 was intended as the text includes no separate entry for that year[563]. John was designated King of Ireland in 1177. Created Comte de Mortain 1189. His lands were placed under interdict by Baldwin Archbishop of Canterbury because of his first marriage[564]. He succeeded his brother Richard I in 1199 as JOHN King of England, crowned London 27 May 1199[565] and again 8 Oct 1200 with his second wife at Westminster Abbey[566]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the coronation "VI Kal Jul" at Westminster Abbey in [1199] of "Johannes dominus Hiberniæ"[567]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "XV Kal Nov" [1216] of King John and his burial "Wignorniæ"[568]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death “apud Newerk in crastino Sanctæ Luciæ virginis” in 1216 of “Johannes rex Angliæ”[569].
Betrothed (Auvergne 1173 before 2 Feb) to ALIX de Maurienne, daughter of HUMBERT III Comte de Maurienne & his third wife Klementia von Zähringen ([1166]-1174). The marriage contract between "Johanni filio Henrici…regis Angliæ" and "Humbertus comes Mauriensis et marchio Italiæ…filia…primogenita…Aalis" is dated 1173[570]. Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1173 the betrothal of “Henricus rex Angliæ, Johanni filio suo cognomento sine terra” and “septenni filiam primogenitam Humberti comitis de Moriana...ex relicta Henrici Saxonis ducis”[571]. Her parentage is specified by Matthew Paris when he records this betrothal. Although he does not give her first name, he calls her "filia primogenita"[572]. Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal of "Humbertus comes de Mauriana…Aalis filiam suam majoram" and "rex…Johannis filii sui iunioris" at "Alvernium…Montem Ferratum" in 1173 before 2 Feb, and the agreement whereby John would inherit the county of Maurienne if Humbert had no sons by his wife[573].
m firstly (Betrothed 1176, Marlborough Castle 29 Aug 1189, divorced before 30 Aug 1199) as her first husband, ISABEL [Avise] Countess of Gloucester, daughter of WILLIAM FitzRobert Earl of Gloucester & his wife Havise de Beaumont ([before 1176]-14 Oct or [18 Nov] 1217, bur Canterbury Cathedral Church). An anonymous continuation of the Chronicle of Robert of Mont-Saint-Michel records (in order) "Comitissa Ebroicensis…uxor Guillelmi Comitis de Clara, tertia…in manu Dei et domini Regis" as the three daughters left by "Guillelmus Comes Glocestriæ" when he died[574]. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey names “Mabiliam comiti de Evereis in Normannia nuptam…Amiciam…Isabellam” as the three daughters of “comes Willielmus” and his wife, adding that Isabel married “Henricus rex…Johanni filio suo”[575]. Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal in 1176 of "Johannem filium regis minimum" and "Willelmus filius Roberti filii regis Henrici primi comes Gloucestriæ…filiam ipsius comitis" and the agreement whereby John would inherit the county of Gloucester[576]. Her marriage is recorded by Matthew Paris, who specifies that it took place despite the prohibition of Baldwin Archbishop of Canterbury on the grounds of consanguinity, although he does not name her[577]. Benedict of Peterborough records the marriage in 1189 of "Johannes frater ducis [Normanniæ]" and "filiam comitis Gloucestriæ" at "Marlebegam IV Kal Sep"[578]. The Chronicle of Ralph of Coggeshall records that "comes Johannes frater eius [rege Ricardo]" married "filiam comitis Glocestriæ"[579]. The primary source which confirms her name as Isabelle has not yet been identified. She was recognised as Ctss of Gloucester in her own right from her marriage in [1189]. Matthew Paris records that the king divorced "uxorem suam Hawisam comitis Gloverniæ filiæ" [in 1200 from the context] because “affines erant in tertio gradu consanguinitatis”[580]. The Annales Londonienses record the divorce in 1200 of King John and "Hawysiam filiam comitis Gloverniæ", stating that they were "in tertio gradu consanguinitatis"[581]. King John appears to have kept her as a state prisoner after their divorce, but retained her title even after her nephew Amaury de Montfort was installed as Earl of Gloucester in 1199[582]. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey records the second marriage of “Isabellam” and “Galfrido de Mandevile comiti Essexiæ”, and her third marriage to “Huberto de Burgo justiciario Angliæ”[583]. Her lands and title were confiscated on the death of her second husband, who died a rebel. She married secondly ([16/26] Jan 1214) as his second wife, Geoffrey de Mandeville Earl of Essex, and thirdly ([Sep] 1217) as his second wife, Hubert de Burgh, who was created Earl of Kent in 1227. The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1217 of “Isabel comitissa Gloucestriæ”[584]. The Annals of Dunstable record that “Johannam comitissam Gloucestriæ” died “paucos dies” after her marriage to “Hubertus de Burgo justiciarius Angliæ” and was buried “apud Cantuarium”[585].
Betrothed (early 1193) to ALIX de France, daughter of LOUIS VII King of France & his second wife Infanta doña Constanza de Castilla ([4 Oct] 1160-after 1200). Kerrebrouck states that Richard I King of England arranged the betrothal of Alix, to whom he had earlier been betrothed himself, to his younger brother John in early 1193[586], but the primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. She returned to France in Aug 1195.
m secondly (Bordeaux Cathedral 24 Aug 1200) as her first husband, ISABELLE d’Angoulême, daughter of AYMAR “Taillefer” Comte d’Angoulême & his wife Alix de Courtenay ([1187]-Fontevrault Abbey 31 May 1246, bur Fontevrault Abbey). The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage "IX Kal Sep" [1200] of King John and "Isabellam filiam Engolisimi comitis" and their coronation together "VIII Id Oct" in London[587]. Matthew Paris records that the king "consilio regis Francorum" married “Isabel filiam comitis Engolismi...Hugo cognomento Brunus comes Marchiæ” in 1200 and her consecration as queen “dominica proxima ante festum Sancti Dionisii apud Westmonasterium” [8 Oct], in a later passage specifying that King John arrived at Dover from France “VIII Id Oct” before their joint coronation at Westminster[588]. She succeeded her father in 1202 as Ctss d’Angoulême, but was not formally recognised as such until Nov 1206. She married secondly (10 Mar/22 May 1220) Hugues [XI] de Lusignan Comte de la Marche. Her origin is confirmed in the charter dated 1224 under which "Ugo de Leziniaco comes Marchiæ et Engolismæ et Ysabella uxor eius…regina Angliæ" confirmed rights granted by "bonæ memoriæ Ademaro comite Engolismæ patre eiusdem dominæ Ysabellæ" to Vindelle[589]. Matthew Paris records her death, when he specifies that she was the wife of Hugues Comte de la Marche[590].
Mistress (1): --- de Warenne, daughter of HAMELIN d’Anjou Earl of Surrey & his [second] wife Isabel de Warenne of Surrey (-[killed 1200]). According to Given-Wilson & Curteis[591], one of the mistresses of King John was the "sister of William de Warenne" but the authors do not specify which sister she was. The Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester names "Richard fiz le rei…Ion" and "the erles daughter of Wareine" his mother[592]. The Annales Cestrienses record in 1200 that “W. de Waren meunch fil Regis” was killed[593]. Christie suggests that one possibility is that “meunch” in this source may represent a contraction of “mater Richardi”, another possibility being that it represents “avunculus” and that the entry refers to the death of William de Warenne (although if that is correct, the date makes little sense)[594].
Mistress (2): CLEMENTIA ---, daughter of ---. The Annals of Tewkesbury name “reginæ Clemenciæ” as the mother of “domina Johanna Walliæ, uxor Lewelini, filia regis Johannis” when recording her daughter’s death[595]. The title “regina” has not been explained: maybe Clementia continued to enjoy some special status at court after her relationship with Prince John, and the term was used ironically by the Annals. Weir names “Henry Pinel” as Clementia’s husband (no source cited)[596]: the primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Another possibility is that, at some time before or after her relationship with Prince John, Clementia married Philip le Boteler [Butler], whose daughter Clementia married Nicholas de Verdun, or at least that they were otherwise closely related. This possibility is suggested not only by their names but also by Henry III King of England granting the upbringing of "L. princeps Norwallie et Johanna [Clementia’s daughter by John, see below] uxor sua et…soror nostra Susannam filiam suam" [Joan’s daughter Susanna] to "Nicholao de Verdun et Clementie uxori sue" by order dated 24 Nov 1228[597]. The naming of Nicholas’s wife in this document suggests that the couple were chosen, not just due to her husband’s status, but because of her personal interest in the matter. Joan’s marriage to Llywellyn ab Iorwerth Prince of North Wales in 1205 (see below) suggests that Nicholas’s Clementia (born “[before 1195?]” and married “[1205/09?]”) and Joan would have been contemporaries: could they have been uterine half-sisters, daughters of the older Clementia born to different fathers, or first cousins? No primary source has been found which indicates when Clementia died.
Mistress (3): ([before 1199?]) HAWISE, daughter of --- ([1183/85?]-[2 Oct 1217/14 Mar 1218] or [after 10 Jan 1219?]). Given-Wilson & Curteis name “Hawise” as the mother of King John’s son Oliver, adding that “she had some claim to land in Kent and it is possible that she was a Tracy” (no sources cited)[598]. The chronology of Oliver’s life suggests that he was born before the king ascended the throne, suggesting Hawise’s birth [1183/85?] (which would be consistent with her being the sister of Eva [de Tracy]: follow Hawise’s hyperlink for discussion about their possible parentage). The primary source which confirms Hawise’s land-holding in Kent has not been identified, although her relationship with John and the possible Tracy family connection are indicated by the following document: King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Wiltshire to leave in peace (“in pace esse permittat”) “manerium de Hamedon ita qd Eva de Tracy et Hawis mater Oliveri fratris dni Reg...” (“...habebant inde ronable estuveriu suu sn wasto usq”?), in accordance with a council decision in London 29 Sep, dated 2 Oct 1217[599]. The joint holding of the property by Eva and Hawise suggests a close relationship between the two. Maybe they were sisters, in which case Hawise could have been the same person as Eva’s unnamed sister recorded in the 10 Jan 1219 document under which King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Berkshire “qd statim visis literis cap in manu dni R totam terram Fulconis fil Warini et Eve de Trascy et sororis sue in bailla sua” for (“pp”) “fil et hede Thom London que dno R detinent qui ee debet in custodia dni R”, dated 10 Jan 1219[600]. The family relationship is further indicated by another document: King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Wiltshire to grant “plenam seisinam de terra de Hanedon...q habuit de baillio Com W. Mar rectoris nostri...cui Wills de London eam invadiavit p sexaginta marc”, noting that “terram illam habebat done Eva de Trasey q clamat terram illam e.e dotem suam”, to [Hawise’s son] “Olivero fratri meo” who ”de predictis sexaginta marc satisfecit”, dated 14 Mar 1218[601]. The absence of Hawise from this second document is difficult to explain especially as, in contrast to the earlier document, Eva claimed the property in question in her sole name as “dotem suam”. At first sight, this would suggest that Hawise died [2 Oct 1217/14 Mar 1218], which is inconsistent with her being Eva’s unnamed sister who was recorded in the 10 Jan 1219 document cited above. One plausible explanation for Hawise surviving until 1219 could be her voluntary renunciation of her rights in favour of her son, but no confirmatory source has been found.
Mistress (4): SUSANNA, daughter of ---. Given-Wilson & Curteis record that she was given a "tunic and super-tunic" in 1213[602]. The primary source which confirms her name and relationship with King John has not yet been identified.
King John & his second wife had five children:
HENRY (Winchester Castle 1 Oct 1207-Palace of Westminster 16 Nov 1272, bur Westminster Abbey).
