Their demands were presented 166 THE STORY OF EUROPE to John upon his return. But the King cried out in wrath: "Why do they not ask for my kingdom? I will never grant such liberties as ...will make me a slave." In various ways, John sought to break up the forces that confronted him; but all in vain. "The army of God and of Holy Church," as the rebels called them- selves, marched upon London, and the citizens joyously opened the city gates to them.
