The etymology of "fuck" is Anglo Saxon (Germanic and possibly over 2,500 yrs. old and older), and was even translated into Latin by the Romans. It wasn't considered vulgar until sometime between the 15th century and the 17th century.
But you're right about the absence of Prince John. Perhaps it was due to the controversy surrounding the relationship between John and Richard. You see, there is speculation, and evidence to support it, that it was actually Richard who was the shit head, while John was illfamed due to his deformity (remember that people in those days believed that deformities were a curse from god) and Richard's ruthless desire for the throne.

Oh sure... Correct my ill-informed misconceptions...
If you keep this up, i'll have to take the foot out of my mouth AND my head out of my ass, and then no one will recognize me...

But where would people get the impression that king richard was a bastard? H eonly went to another part of the world to try and shove his religion down the throat of the people who were commiting the heinous crime of living on the land where their people had been for as long as there had been recorded history...
Sheesh... White guys never get a break....
