Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"John unsuccessfully attempted a rebellion against Richard's royal administrators whilst his brother was participating in the Third Crusade. After Richard died in 1199, however, he prevailed against Arthur and was proclaimed King of England." [Wikipedia] "Undaunted, John used the consecration of the new Archbishop of Canterbury in June as an excuse to seize church property. . . . Innocent at once put the entire country under interdict . . . “All church services ceased,” . . . In 1210, he followed Philip’s example and ordered all the Jews in England imprisoned, 'in order to do [his] will with their money.'” [Bauer: Renaissance World, p. 203-5] "AT THE BEGINNING OF 1213, Innocent III decided that the interdict on England was clearly not going to resolve the quarrel over Stephen Langton’s appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury." Innocent declared a crusade against John. "The ideal of crusade had become so diffused that it had lost any form or definition. Now crusade could be declared against a Christian king who held to the Nicene Creed: a king who ruled an ancient part of Christendom and was himself the son and brother of Crusaders." [Bauer: Renaissance World, p. 248-9]
