The law that gave the English barons the right to rule with King Edward I in exchange for financial aid was the Magna Carta, signed in 1215. This document limited the king's power and established the principle that the monarch was not above the law.

What were feudal punishments like?

"Feudal" has little or nothing to do with it. The word feudal just indicates the medieval system in which the King's barons were given land and its income (and the King's protection) in return for a solemn pledge of personal obedience, loyalty and service to the King. In the feudal system, the only punishment could be that a baron's fief was taken away from him because he had not kept his promise of loyalty.Should you mean: "what were medieval punishments like'', the answer is twofold. Very common (and much more common than you might think) was having to pay a fine to the injured party. Today that's only the sanction for minor offenses, but in the Middle Ages paying a large fine to the victim or his family could be ordered for even crimes such as manslaughter. Although it doesn't seem so today, banishment was considered a very heavy penalty and it was: people then totally identified with the village or town where they were born and where they had their all-important social network. Being thrown out meant: no work or income, no-one to turn to, no roof over your head.In other cases, forms of corporal punishment were the norm - prison then was just a place were you were kept until the trial and your sentence. If you want the details, just google 'medieval punishments' and you will get all of them. Many of those punishments would now be considered forms of torture, but those were different times, and 'an eye for an eye' was the norm then. Also, the confession of guilt by the culprit was all-important, even more so than any other evidence or lack of it. Like in still many of today's societies, investigators sometimes would go to great lengths to get that confession.

What did knights give to barons?

Knights typically provided military service and loyalty to barons in exchange for land or protection. In this feudal system, knights pledged their allegiance and were expected to fight for their barons during conflicts. In return, barons granted knights fiefs, which were parcels of land that could be cultivated or used to generate income. This relationship was foundational to the structure of medieval society, emphasizing mutual obligations and support.
