I have another problem. I commented on this: [

Can you please replace the last comment with this:
Fun fact: soon after King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta in 1215, the pope 'annulled' it. Catholics use this to morally claim there is therefore no Magna Carta. But King John promised the pope money to 'annul' it and excommunicate the barons.
He also promised "Lands, and large possessions" to any foreign soldiers came to England to help him in his planned war against the barons. Fourteen thousand people answering this call, told to them encouragingly by catholic bishops and priests, were at sea when they were hit by a "sudden tempest" and all were drowned, the shore was "infected with their putrid bodies". Echoed by the Spanish Armada 370 years later.
1218AD: "Waldo the legate being sent for by the pope to return, departed toward Rome with an infinite quantity of money gotten by one means or other."
Having no support from the barons or the townspeople and lost the foreign soldiers, the only way he could keep the support of the catholic bishops was to pay up.
