Who escaped from captivity, leading to John voluntary returning to England?
His nephew
His brother Louis
His cousin Phillipe
His second son Louis
Answer
John's second son Louis escaped from captivity, leading to John voluntarily returning to England. John had previously been captured by his rebellious barons and forced to sign the Magna Carta. The barons were worried that Louis would attempt to claim the English throne, and so they agreed to release John if he returned to England.
