On 15 June 1215, rebel barons forced King John to meet them at
Runnymede. They did not trust the King, so he was not allowed to
leave until his seal was attached to the charter in front of him.
This was Magna Carta. It was a revolutionary document. Never before
had royal authority been so fundamentally challenged. Nearly 800
years later, two of the charter's sixty-three clauses are still a
ringing expression of freedom for mankind: 'To no one will we sell,
to no one will we deny or delay right or justice'. And: 'No free
man shall be taken or imprisoned or in any way ruined, except by
the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land'. 1215
- THE YEAR OF THE MAGNA CARTA explores what it was like to be alive
in that momentous year. Political power struggles are interwoven
with other issues - fashion, food, education, medicine, religion,
sex. Whether describing matters of state or domestic life, this is
a treasure house of a book, rich in detail and full of enthralling
insights into the medieval world.
