The Habeas Corpus Act assured a person of a trial within?

In the UK ' Habeas Corpus' is that an accused person MUST be taken before a court of law and tried. The accusers cannot just arrest the individual and lock them up in prison. Also, whilst an individual is in prison, if there is doubt about whether he/she is still alive, then a 'Writ of Habeas Corpus' is taken out, and the individual MUST be produced alive a well in court, before a judge. Habeas Corpus is a Latin phrase and means ' having the body'. It has been applied , without legal constraint, since Anglo-Saxon times. It is now the Law of the Land. The cartoonists vision of a prisoner in a dungeon, in rags, chained to wall, with a 'bowl of gruel'. just doesn't happen in the UK or any where else, because of Habeas Corpus. Those countries, and there are some, that do not have a legal framework of 'Habeas Corpus' can lock up people without a trial, and it is seen as being against 'human rights'.

When was the habeas corpus created?

Habeas corpus stems from English common law. The very first instance of its use is therefore likely lost to antiquity. Perhaps it would be better to ask when it became an important principle of law. The eminent legal scholar William Blackstone, in his "Commentaries on the Laws of England," attributed the act which secured habeas corpus for the English people to King Charles II. Charles II ruled England from 1660 to 1685, so it would be fair to say that habeas corpus became a true principle of English law during that period.
