Description
While Richard I was being held for ransom by Henry VI his brother John seized the opportunity and went to Paris and formed an alliance with King Philip. Fighting broke out in England between forces loyal to Richard and those being gathered by John. John's military position was weak and he agreed to a truce; in early 1194 the king finally returned to England, and John's remaining forces surrendered. John retreated to Normandy, where Richard finally found him later that year. Richard forgave him, but removed his lands with the exception of Ireland.
