From Last-Minute Peace Treaty to ‘Memory of the World’ – Bewitched by Magna Carta for 800 years
Update: 2015-11-16
Description
Magna Carta means simply 'great charter' and is famous as a symbol of justice, fairness, and human rights. For centuries it has inspired and encouraged movements for freedom and constitutional government in Britain and around the world. But when it was issued by England’s King John in June 1215 it was an attempt to prevent a civil war between the king and his powerful barons.
