A captivating account of the historic signing, profound impact, and enduring legacy of Magna Carta, a document that stands as one of the most influential statements in the annals of democracy, is presented in this magnificent volume as part of the renowned landmark library series.
On a sunny summer day in 1215, a weary English monarch found himself amidst a gathering of disgruntled barons in a picturesque meadow nestled by the tranquil river Thames, known as Runnymede. King John, beset by foreign crises and domestic rebellions, was rapidly running out of viable solutions. On June 15, under duress, he reluctantly affixed his regal seal to a document that would forever alter the course of history.
The Great Charter, a pivotal milestone in the development of constitutional politics and the rule of law, established the fundamental right of an Englishman to the esteemed Habeas Corpus and imposed boundaries on the exercise of royal power. For the first time, a collective of subjects had successfully compelled an English king to consent to a legal document that curtailed his authority and safeguarded their rights.
Dan Jones' elegant and authoritative narrative of Magna Carta's creation and its enduring legacy is further enhanced by in-depth profiles of the barons who secured it, as well as a comprehensive full text of the charter presented in both Latin and English. This captivating volume offers a profound exploration of the historical significance of Magna Carta, shedding light on its enduring impact on democracy, governance, and the protection of individual liberties.
