• [32][33] The rebels took an oath that they would “stand fast for the liberty of the church and the realm”, and demanded that the King confirm the Charter of Liberties that
  had been declared by King Henry I in the previous century, and which was perceived by the barons to protect their rights.

• [citation needed] The charter became part of English political life and was typically renewed by each monarch in turn, although as time went by and the fledgling Parliament
  of England passed new laws, it lost some of its practical significance.

• [99][100] Henry’s government encouraged the rebel barons to come back to his cause in exchange for the return of their lands, and reissued a version of the 1215 Charter, albeit
  having first removed some of the clauses, including those unfavourable to the Papacy and clause 61, which had set up the council of barons.

• [39] In a further move to shore up his support, John took an oath to become a crusader, a move which gave him additional political protection under church law, even though
  many felt the promise was insincere.

• In 1223, the tensions over the status of the charters became clear in the royal court, when Henry’s government attempted to reassert its rights over its properties and revenues
  in the counties, facing resistance from many communities that argued—if sometimes incorrectly—that the charters protected the new arrangements.

• [103] Great Charter of 1217 See also: First Barons’ War, Charter of the Forest, and English land law The Charter of the Forest re-issued in 1225, held by the British Library
  In February 1217, Louis set sail for France to gather reinforcements.

• [citation needed] After John’s death, the regency government of his young son, Henry III, reissued the document in 1216, stripped of some of its more radical content, in an
  unsuccessful bid to build political support for their cause.

• [b] First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Stephen Langton, to make peace between the unpopular king and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection
  of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift and impartial justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons.

• [130][131] Uncertainty continued, and in 1227, when he was declared of age and able to rule independently, Henry announced that future charters had to be issued under his
  own seal.

• Created: 1215; 809 years ago; Location: Two at the British Library; one each in Lincoln Castle and in Salisbury Cathedral; Author(s): John, King of England, His barons, Stephen
  Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury; Purpose: Peace treaty History 13th century Background Main article: John, King of England King John on a stag hunt Magna Carta originated as an unsuccessful attempt to achieve peace between royalist and rebel
  factions in 1215, as part of the events leading to the outbreak of the First Barons’ War.

• In return, his followers would be given back their lands, any sentences of excommunication would be lifted, and Henry’s government would promise to enforce the charter of
  the previous year.

• [112] The treaty was similar to the first peace offer, but excluded the rebel clergy, whose lands and appointments remained forfeit.

• [93][138] In 1258, a group of barons seized power from Henry in a coup d’état, citing the need to strictly enforce Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest, creating a new
  baronial-led government to advance reform through the Provisions of Oxford.

• [41][42][43] It was John’s hope that the Pope would give him valuable legal and moral support, and accordingly John played for time; the King had declared himself to be a
  papal vassal in 1213 and correctly believed he could count on the Pope for help.

• [26] Many contemporary writers believed that monarchs should rule in accordance with the custom and the law, with the counsel of the leading members of the realm, but there
  was no model for what should happen if a king refused to do so.

• [citation needed] Neither side stood by their commitments, and the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, leading to the First Barons’ War.

• [48][50][53] Stephen Langton’s pragmatic efforts at mediation over the next ten days turned these incomplete demands into a charter capturing the proposed peace agreement;
  a few years later, this agreement was renamed Magna Carta, meaning “Great Charter”.

• [118][119] This resistance resulted in an argument between Archbishop Langton and William Brewer over whether the King had any duty to fulfil the terms of the charters, given
  that he had been forced to agree to them.

• [132][133] This brought into question the validity of the previous charters issued during his minority, and Henry actively threatened to overturn the Charter of the Forest
  unless the taxes promised in return for it were actually paid.

• At the end of the war in 1217, it formed part of the peace treaty agreed at Lambeth, where the document acquired the name “Magna Carta”, to distinguish it from the smaller
  Charter of the Forest, which was issued at the same time.

• [29][30][31] A triumph would have strengthened his position, but in the face of his defeat, within a few months after his return from France, John found that rebel barons
  in the north and east of England were organising resistance to his rule.

• [75] Once aware of the charter, the Pope responded in detail: in a letter dated 24 August and arriving in late September, he declared the charter to be “not only shameful
  and demeaning but also illegal and unjust” since John had been “forced to accept” it, and accordingly the charter was “null, and void of all validity for ever”; under threat of excommunication, the King was not to observe the charter, nor
  the barons try to enforce it.

• [65] The barons were trying to force John to keep to the charter, but clause 61 was so heavily weighted against the King that this version of the charter could not survive.

• [9][128] The content was almost identical to the 1217 versions, but in the new versions, the King declared that the charters were issued of his own “spontaneous and free will”
  and confirmed them with the royal seal, giving the new Great Charter and the Charter of the Forest of 1225 much more authority than the previous versions.

• [60][61] Under what historians later labelled “clause 61”, or the “security clause”, a council of 25 barons would be created to monitor and ensure John’s future adherence
  to the charter.

• Less than three months after it had been agreed, John and the loyalist barons firmly repudiated the failed charter: the First Barons’ War erupted.

• [142] Witnesses in 1225 Witnesses to the 1225 charter Great Charter of 1297: statute 1297 version of the Great Charter, on display in the National Archives Building in Washington,
  D.C. King Edward I reissued the Charters of 1225 in 1297 in return for a new tax.

• [93][135] He generally acted within the terms of the charters, which prevented the Crown from taking extrajudicial action against the barons, including the fines and expropriations
  that had been common under his father, John.

• [156] In 1306 Edward I took the opportunity given by the Pope’s backing to reassert forest law over large areas which had been “disafforested”.

• [40][44] John also began recruiting mercenary forces from France, although some were later sent back to avoid giving the impression that the King was escalating the conflict.

• [120] On this occasion, Henry gave oral assurances that he considered himself bound by the charters, enabling a royal inquiry into the situation in the counties to progress.

• [9] His son, Edward I, repeated the exercise in 1297, this time confirming it as part of England’s statute law.

• [93] Despite the various charters, the provision of royal justice was inconsistent and driven by the needs of immediate politics: sometimes action would be taken to address
  a legitimate baronial complaint, while on other occasions the problem would simply be ignored.

• [91] As an additional measure, Henry took the cross, declaring himself a crusader and thereby entitled to special protection from Rome.

• It included a promise that Louis’ followers would be allowed to enjoy their traditional liberties and customs, referring back to the Charter of 1216.

• [38] A mural of Pope Innocent III, c. 1219 John held a council in London in January 1215 to discuss potential reforms, and sponsored discussions in Oxford between his agents
  and the rebels during the spring.

• [40] During the negotiations, the rebellious barons produced an initial document, which historians have termed “the Unknown Charter of Liberties”, which drew on Henry I’s
  Charter of Liberties for much of its language; seven articles from that document later appeared in the “Articles of the Barons” and the subsequent charter.

• [70][78][79] The rebel barons concluded that peace with John was impossible, and turned to Philip II’s son, the future Louis VIII, for help, offering him the English throne.

• [117] Henry remained a minor and his government’s legal ability to make permanently binding decisions on his behalf was limited.

• [147] Edward, needing money, had taxed the nobility, and they had armed themselves against him, forcing Edward to issue his confirmation of Magna Carta and the Forest Charter
  to avoid civil war.

• [91] The war was not going well for the loyalists, but Prince Louis and the rebel barons were also finding it difficult to make further progress.

• [18][19] Research by Victorian historians showed that the original 1215 charter had concerned the medieval relationship between the monarch and the barons, rather than the
  rights of ordinary people,[20] but the charter remained a powerful, iconic document, even after almost all of its content was repealed from the statute books in the 19th and 20th centuries.

• [81] Charters of the Welsh Princes Magna Carta was the first document in which reference is made to English and Welsh law alongside one another, including the principle of
  the common acceptance of the lawful judgement of peers.

• [28] John was already personally unpopular with many of the barons, many of whom owed money to the Crown, and little trust existed between the two sides.

• [109] A great council was called in October and November to take stock of the post-war situation.

• [citation needed] Although this historical account was badly flawed, jurists such as Sir Edward Coke used Magna Carta extensively in the early 17th century, arguing against
  the divine right of kings.

• [26] John had lost most of his ancestral lands in France to King Philip II in 1204 and had struggled to regain them for many years, raising extensive taxes on the barons to
  accumulate money to fight a war which ended in expensive failure in 1214.

• [50][53] Although, as the historian David Carpenter has noted, the charter “wasted no time on political theory”, it went beyond simply addressing individual baronial complaints,
  and formed a wider proposal for political reform.

• [85][86][87] The process of appointment is not known, but the names were drawn almost exclusively from among John’s more active opponents.

• [62] If John did not conform to the charter within 40 days of being notified of a transgression by the council, the 25 barons were empowered by clause 61 to seize John’s castles
  and lands until, in their judgement, amends had been made.

• [124] It became clear that Gascony would also fall unless reinforcements were sent from England.

• [71][72] Despite this, the King appealed to Pope Innocent for help in July, arguing that the charter compromised the Pope’s rights as John’s feudal lord.

• [137] The royal courts, which toured the country to provide justice at the local level, typically for lesser barons and the gentry claiming grievances against major lords,
  had little power, allowing the major barons to dominate the local justice system.

• It influenced the early American colonists in the Thirteen Colonies and the formation of the United States Constitution, which became the supreme law of the land in the new
  republic of the United States.

• [63] Men were to be compelled to swear an oath to assist the council in controlling the King, but once redress had been made for any breaches, the King would continue to rule
  as before.

• [74] Meanwhile, instructions from the Pope arrived in August, written before the peace accord, with the result that papal commissioners excommunicated the rebel barons and
  suspended Langton from office in early September.

• [57][c] Its style and content reflected Henry I’s Charter of Liberties, as well as a wider body of legal traditions, including the royal charters issued to towns, the operations
  of the Church and baronial courts and European charters such as the Statute of Pamiers.

• Lawyers and historians at the time believed that there was an ancient English constitution, going back to the days of the Anglo-Saxons, that protected individual English freedoms.

• [140] Louis came down firmly in favour of Henry, but the French arbitration failed to achieve peace as the rebellious barons refused to accept the verdict.

• Chapter 57: The return of , illegitimate son of (Llywelyn the Great) along with other Welsh hostages which were originally taken for “peace” and “good”.

• [7][8] Great Charter of 1225 1225 version of Magna Carta issued by Henry III, held in the National Archives Magna Carta became increasingly embedded into English political
  life during Henry III’s minority.

• [50][53][54] By 15 June, general agreement had been made on a text, and on 19 June, the rebels renewed their oaths of loyalty to John and copies of the charter were formally
  issued.

• [116] As the King grew older, his government slowly began to recover from the civil war, regaining control of the counties and beginning to raise revenue once again, taking
  care not to overstep the terms of the charters.

• [94][95] He had substantial support though from Guala, who intended to win the civil war for Henry and punish the rebels.

• There are also a handful of the subsequent charters in public and private ownership, including copies of the 1297 charter in both the United States and Australia.

• [138] Henry’s rule became lax and careless, resulting in a reduction in royal authority in the provinces and, ultimately, the collapse of his authority at court.

• [154] It was composed of 17 articles and sought in part to deal with the problem of enforcing the charters.

• [98][99] John’s death had defused some of the rebel concerns, and the royal castles were still holding out in the occupied parts of the country.

• [70][73] As part of the June peace deal, the barons were supposed to surrender London by 15 August, but this they refused to do.

• [93][135] The charters did not address the sensitive issues of the appointment of royal advisers and the distribution of patronage, and they lacked any means of enforcement
  if the King chose to ignore them.

• [128][129] The barons anticipated that the King would act in accordance with these charters, subject to the law and moderated by the advice of the nobility.
