The signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 by King John of England?

Answer 1

The Magna Carta or "Great Charter" limited royal power over the nobility. King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta by rebellious barons who resented his attempts to tax them. The Magna Carta guaranteed the traditional rights of the English nobility. For example, King John agreed to consult a Great Council composed of high nobles and Church officials before placing any new taxes.

Answer 2

King John of England signed the "Great Charter" or "Magna Carta" in 1215. This was the first document ever to acknowledge that the powers of the monarch were not absolute, that other people had rights as well.

King John, the younger brother of King Richard, the "Lionhearted", was also the "Prince John" reviled in history in the "Robin Hood" stories. He was a thoroughly detestable monarch. But the nobles and barons who forced John to sign the Magna Carta were primarily concerned with their OWN rights and powers, not those of the average serfs and peasants. The idea that even serfs, peasants, and farmers all had their OWN rights was an idea that needed another 400 years to come to widespread adoption.

King John was so bad that there will never be another "King John" of England.
