Manage episode 421677633 series 3562205
Magna Carta, the Great Charter of English Liberties, is the foundation upon which the Rule of Law is built. The story of its creation is more surprising and far more complex than is commonly known. It extends beyond King John, the most despised king in English history and the Barons who were compelled to wage war against him. The epic also includes the King of France, Philip Augustus, King William of Scotland, Duke Arthur of Brittany, Count Ferrand of Flanders, Prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth of Wales, the Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton, the greatest knight in the Middle Ages, William Marshal and Pope Innocent III. The parts they played in Magna Carta are revealed in Episode 5 of The Rule of Law, The War of the Worlds.
