But King John found him to be a formidable opponent who vigorously pushed for Magna Carta. William was inconflict with Henry III as well, and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lincoln in 1217, his lands forfeited to William Marshall who, at the age of 80, was acting as Regent for the young King.
THE BATTLE OF LINCOLN, 1217:
The barons, having been completely fed up with King John, invited the French Dauphin Louis VIII to invade England and become their king. Alexander II of Scotland invaded in 1216 supported by Prince Llwellyn of Wales. Meanwhile, King John died,but nobody was in the mood for peace. Nine-year-old Henry III assumed the throne with William Marshall acting as Regent. When Louis struck in 1217, Marshall defeated him at the Battles of Lincoln and Sandwich.
