4.3(165)

Magna Carta explains the political crisis that forced King John to accept the charter at Runnymede in 1215. It examines the grievances of the barons, the collapse of royal trust after military and financial failures, and the civil war that followed when the settlement broke down. The book also traces the reissuing and reinterpretation of Magna Carta, showing how a medieval agreement about royal government acquired a much broader reputation as a symbol of law and limited authority.
