Description
The Magna Carta Barons
This is the first and only book to tell the story of the 25 Magna Carta Barons. Who they were, what they did, and what happened to them after Magna Carta was issued in June 1215.
Chosen by the rebel army at Runnymede to guarantee King John’s compliance with the terms of the Charter. These were men whose family ties and sense of entitlement made them a powerful opposition to the king. Most held extensive lands in the north and east of England and many were descendants of the Normans who had accompanied William the Conqueror a few generations earlier.
It was their fight for the fundamental principle that everyone is subject to the rule of law that laid the basis for the democracy we enjoy today in the United Kingdom, the United States and other free nations while the struggle against tyranny and arbitrary rule continues in many less fortunate parts of the world.
