Write a letter/diary/journal that explains why King John is at war with the Barons.

This should be half of a page.

The King has just returned from his campaign against the French. Once again, he has lost the battle. Not only does he lose his men, but his fortunes were drained during the conflict. He is in need of money but has already taxed the barons in this latest failure. Still, he is determined to acquire funds for his campaign. I worry about his actions. The barons are at their limit as it is. If the king insists on this course, I fear that it would lead to war with the nobles here in England.
