A revised edition of J. C. Holt's classic study of Magna Carta, the
Great Charter, offering the most authoritative analysis of
England's most famous constitutional text. The book sets the events
of 1215 and the Charter itself in the context of the law, politics
and administration of England and Europe in the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries. Additionally, a lengthy new introduction by
two of Holt's former pupils, George Garnett and John Hudson,
examines a range of issues raised by scholarship since publication
of the second edition in 1992. These include the possible role of
Archbishop Stephen Langton; the degree of influence of Roman and
Canon Law upon those who drafted the Charter; other aspects of the
intellectual setting of the Charter, in particular political
thinking in London; the Continental context of the events of
1212-15; and the legal and jurisdictional issues that affected the
Charter's clauses on justice.
