King John of England lived from 1166-1216 but you’ll be surprised he did not die in the year 1213. More specifically, you’ll be surprised he did not die on Christmas day 1213, seeing as how he ordered 3,000 capons, 1,000 salted eels, 400 hogs, 100 pounds of almonds and 24 casks of wine for his Christmas festivities. To be fair he probably had some friends round.
