Talk:Prince John/@comment-26523574-20161124044836

"Ironically, the Crusades and Richard's involvement in them were the reason why the huge taxations that John was hated for occurred: Richard's war put a heavy drain on the treasury meaning that John had to raise taxes greatly, making him a very unpopular monarch and leading to him being depicted as a villain in the Robin Hood myth."

Not saying this is wrong, but I've always thought Prince John was just exxagerating the taxes, to get moneu for himself, and just using Richard as an excuse... am I even making sense? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense XP
