What is the Anacronism in the Ledgen King John and the Abbot: The three questions?

Question

I think that it is that King John reigned from 1199 to 1216. In the story, he asked the Abbot of Canterbury three questions. That would have been fine but the Abbot of Canterbury lived from 1562 to 1633, over 300 years after the reign of King John, and long after his death. I just was wondering if I was right.

Answer 1

Perhaps you are right. Nobody seems to know and frankly I don't have a clue. I would ask somewhere else.

Answer 2

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
