Document Summary
His christian piety had negative effects for some. Like jews in france or muslims in africa. His crusades focused on north africa and egypt, not the holy land. He was captured by the ayyubids in egypt. The reigns of philip augustus, louis viii and st. louis ix had severely weekend the angevins as a continental powe. The local feudal lords began to push back against the centralized norman-angevin monarchy. One option for john would be to seek support from pope innocent iii. He rejected the pope"s choice for high office of archbishop of canterbury: angevins and the church. The angevins had a history of church troubles. He had a notorious feud with his own archbishop of canterbury. These troubles with the papacy and feudal barons were interconnected. The church and barons made gains in england: stephen"s reign. Barons were able to push back against the centralized monarchy at will. The church became the chief source of laws.
