King John of England was forced to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June 1215. The Magna Carta, also called Magna Carta Libertatum, required that the King proclaim certain liberties, and accept that his will was not arbitrary, for example, by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" (in the sense of non-serf) could be punished except through the law of the land - a right that is still in existence today.
In England the Petition of Right (1628) and the Habeas Corpus Act (1679) looked directly back to clause 39 of the charter of 1215, which stated that "no free man shall be…imprisoned or disseised [dispossessed]…except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."
