Eight hundred years ago King John of England was forced to seal a document of historic importance. As the first charter to grant individual liberties under the rule of law, protecting the people against tyranny, Magna Carta is the most influential & far-reaching legal text the world has ever known. For this book, published with the official support of the UK Magna Carta Trust & marking the eight hundredth anniversary of the charter`s first issue, Professor Nicholas Vincent is joined by a range of experts on Magna Carta from across the world to reflect on the circumstances of its genesis & its enduring significance. Magna Carta was serially reinterpreted by later generations, becoming a totem in fierce political debates on the liberties of the people
- it became a sacred text for English puritans of the Civil War, for the American patriots of the War of Independence, & for all those in the English-speaking world who have striven to build democratic rights & freedoms in the post-colonial age. Contents: Magna Carta in Context: a general survey from 1215 to the present day Nicholas Vincent Law Before Magna Carta: the Anglo-Saxon law codes & their successors before 1215 Nicholas Vincent Plantagenet Tyranny & Lawmaking Nicholas Vincent The Tyranny of King John Nicholas Vincent Magna Carta: Defeat into Victory Nicholas Vincent Magna Carta in the Later Middle Ages Anthony Musson Magna Carta against the King Justin Champion Magna Carta & the American Age of Reason Joyce Lee Malcolm Magna Carta in the 19th Century Miles Taylor From World War to World Heritage: Magna Carta in the 20th Century Nicholas Vincent 21st-Century Magna Carta Richard Goldstone

At Runnymede, on the banks of the River Thames, on 15 June 1215, the seal of King John was attached to the Magna Carta, & peace descended upon the l&. Or that`s what successive generations have believed. But is it true? & have we been persuaded (or persuaded ourselves) that the events of 15 June 1215 not only ended a civil war between the king & the barons but
- as if by magic
- established a British constitution beloved & copied throughout the world? Often viewed as a victory for the people over the monarchy & a cornerstone of democracy, the true significance of Magna Carta is misunderstood & misrepresented. In Magna Carta: The True Story Behind the Charter, David Starkey paints a vivid portrait of the years 1215-1225, ten revolutionary years of huge significance that produced not one but four charters. Peopled by colourful historical figures
- John, the boy-king Henry, Pope Innocent III, Archbishop Stephen Langton, William Marshal
- Starkey tells a story of treachery & idealism, politics & peace-making that is surprising & enthralling. Informative, entertaining & controversial, Magna Carta: The True Story Behind the Charter challenges centuries of myth-making to demonstrate how important it is we understand the true significance of that day beside the Thames, eight hundred years ago.
