King John ascended the throne in 1199 and you are showing that as the date of his birth. His father died in 1189, ten years before he was supposedly born.

King John was born in 1166 and died in 1216. There are numerous cites on his record but it has never been corrected.

Thank you

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Question: What in the particular 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID), of King John, to which you refer?

    Can you please provide the actual PID.

    'Thank You' in advance.

    FYI

    Even, ONE of the "Discovery Pages", for him, in 'FamilySearch', appears to have the correct 'Dates'.

    [ There could be more "Discovery Pages", for him, in 'FamilySearch', from OTHER versions of him ... ]
