The main beneficiaries were the nobles (grandees). However, there were also some guarantees to 'free men', the main one being a fair trial by a jury.

During the Middle Ages, Magna Carta was revised a number of times, and by about 1400, 'free man' was reinterpreted to mean (just about) anyone


The Magna Carta had 63 articles of which it mostly benefited the landowners.

Magna Carta helped the English nobility. It was an understanding between King John and the various English lords and nobles about what the King could and could not do without the consent of the nobles. It was never meant to be a statement of rights that the common man enjoyed.

The Magna Carta helped everyone but mainly the peasants to have equal rights and freedom from slavery.
