Thats the guy. He was Richard the Lionhearts brother.

John spent most of the time Richard was away undermining him and trying to take the throne.
Richard died from a gangrenous infection while besieging a totally unimportant castle in France. He was applauding the valour of one of the defenders when the defender shot him in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt. The wound got infected after they removed the bolt and he died a week or so later. John became king and lost nearly all the land in France that his father (Henry II) and his brother (Richard I) had conquered.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
