Birth and Parents
John was the youngest son of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine.

He was probably born in either the Palace of Westminster or the Tower of London. (See Research Notesfor more discussion.)
Reign of Henry II
John was his parents' youngest son, and his father had already made significant provision of land for his older brothers, leaving relatively little available for John. Probably because of this, he was nicknamed "Lackland" from at least the early 1180s: it is believed that this nickname may have been given him by his father. Henry II sought to remedy this.

His birthplace is also uncertain. Many sources suggest it was Oxford, including Douglas Richardson and John's entry in the original Dictionary of Natio...

Philip, who married someone called Lavina: they are recorded in 1263 as transferring lands to a Henry FitzRoy: Douglas Richardson speculates that Henry was their son, producing no evidence to confirm this, and that Henry's name FitzRoy suggests Philip mayhave been an illegitimate son of John 3. the parent, gender not known, of a Roger de Meulan, a papal chaplain said to be a "nepos" of Henry III (Douglas Richardson assumes this wa...
