Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -He raised taxes in England much higher than they had been before, causing officials to become more and more oppressive in the way they collected these taxes. Raising taxes made John increasingly unpopular with the English barons, whom the king relied on to assist him in governing the kingdom.
Detailed explanation-2: -After first agreeing to the terms of Magna Carta, John reneged, asking the Pope to declare it invalid. On doing so, the betrayal ignited a civil conflict between the English Barons and the monarchy, dubbed the First Barons’ War, that lasted for two years, past John’s death and into the reign of his son, Henry III.
