What happened at the Magna Carta
Facing rebellion from barons angered by heavy taxation, military failures, and arbitrary rule, King John met rebel leaders at Runnymede, near Windsor, in June 1215. There he agreed to the Magna Carta, a charter that placed limits on royal authority, guaranteed the Church's rights, protected free men from unlawful imprisonment, and established that the king must follow the law of the land. Though initially annulled by the Pope within weeks and reissued in revised forms over following decades, it became a foundational document in the development of constitutional government, influencing later legal principles such as due process and the idea that rulers are bound by law.
