1. The reign of Henry the 2nd suggests that future english foreign relations will not be successful due to Henry's aggressive and submissive foreign policy during his reign. By forcing foreign kings to submit to english rule he is setting the standard that future english foreign politics will continue for generations. There will be much conflict due to this methad because foreign kings may be reluctant to submit.
2. I believe the common conception of Richard as "good" and John as "bad" to be true. Although John had many unlucky misfortunes this does not change the fact that he conspired not once but twice in order to backstab his own family.
3. The magna carta actually bouund the King to a set of laws which was the 1st time this happened in Britis history. The king now had to treat his subjects better and listen to their complaints. The barons now had more power and the king less.
