John, King of England

John (24 December 1166 – 19 October 1216), also known as John Lackland (Norman French: Johan sanz Terre), was King of England from 6 April 1199 until his death in 1216. Following the battle of Bouvines, John lost the duchy of Normandy to King Philip II of France, which resulted in the collapse of most of the Angevin Empire and contributed to the subsequent growth in power of the Capetian dynasty during the 13th century. The baronial revolt at the end of John's reign led to the sealing of the Magna Carta, a document sometimes considered to be an early step in the evolution of the constitution of the United Kingdom.

John, the youngest of five sons of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, was at first not expected to inherit significant lands. Following the failed rebellion of his elder brothers between 1173 and 1174, however, John became Henry's favourite child. He was appointed the Lord of Ireland in 1177 and given lands in England and on the continent. John's elder brothers William, Henry and Geoffrey died young; by the time Richard I became king in 1189, John was a potential heir to the throne. John unsuccessfully attempted a rebellion against Richard's royal administrators whilst his brother was participating in the Third Crusade. Despite this, after Richard died in 1199, John was proclaimed King of England, and came to an agreement with Philip II of France to recognise John's possession of the continental Angevin lands at the peace treaty of Le Goulet in 1200.

Donkin, Nova Scotia

Donkin is a Canadian rural village with a population of 573 people. It is located on the picturesque coastline of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island. The smaller communities of Port Caledonia and Schooner Pond are directly adjacent to the village proper, connected by a single strip of road called the Donkin Highway.

Geography

As part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Donkin is located 11 km east of the town of Glace Bay and 32 km east from the city of Sydney. The nearest village is Port Morien which is 10 km away.

Donkin sits on the northeastern-most tip of Cape Breton, along the Marconi Trail which stretches from Glace Bay to Louisbourg.

Its coastline offers scenery and several sandy beaches as well as vantage points for bird watching. It's not uncommon to spot whales, seals and other marine life from the shore as well as passing cargo ships and fishing boats.

Name

The community of Donkin was once known only as Dominion No. 6, after the Dominion Coal Company colliery that operated from 1904-1934. In an effort to correct errors in postal delivery, the community was given its own name. In 1940, at a community meeting, the village was named "Donkin", in honour of Hiram Donkin, who was the second General Manager of the Dominion Coal Company and later became the Deputy Minister of Mines for Nova Scotia.
