revolt of their own. John had no popularity in 1215. He was hated by the Barons and masses alike. He ruled by fiat. He was the law and ruled inconsistently except in his consistency of ruling for his own benefit. The Barons were in armed revolt and their armies marched on London, whose residents opened the gates to the city. They had had enough of the up close and personal tyranny of King John. The result of the mass of Barons invading London was that they forced John’s hand to meet them at the meadow near Runnymede to sign the Articles of the Barons on June 15, 1215. A few days later, King John affixed his seal to the Magna Carta which in essence was a 63 clause document that established the rule of law that the King himself had to adhere

to. It put reins on absolute power. With the signing of the document the Barons once again pledged allegiance to John. While the Magna Carta is generally considered the foundation of democracy in England, it has had long term and lasting effects in America where some of its principals are the foundation of our own Constitution. Taxes could not be arbitrarily levied under the Magna Carta, hence our principal of no taxes without representation. One could not imprison, outlaw, or exile a free man. Of course in those days a free man was a Baron but over the course of centuries, it developed the principal of a speedy trial and trial by one’s peers for all men, cornerstones of American society. John of course saw the Magna Carta as an expedient way of

allaying the rage of the Barons and in actuality had no intention of relinquishing his power. Through an envoy to the Pope, who he was now palsy-walsy with, he had him annul the agreement within months of its signing. England was once again thrust into civil war. John’s mercenary army made war on the Barons and the Barons offered the crown of England to the French King’s son Prince Louis if he would invade with his army. Then… King John dies. Throughout the rest of English history the Magna Carta was reaffirmed by some monarchs, ignored by others, edited, emended or had clauses completely stricken. It remains a shell of its original intent because many of the issues were of feudal concern. The document of course was the forced hand of a privileged class on a king

In 2015 the Magna Carta celebrated its 800th year. It is an English document dating back to 1215 that established certain liberties and controls on power namely that “government is subordinate to the law” and is credited with being the basis of the U.S. Constitution. Its creation is a result of intrigue, war, a jilted suitor, punishing taxes, armed alliances of English and French Barons and Kings, the Church and Pope Innocent III, not to mention the dastardly King John of England. The intrigue and coalition of the forces that led to the Magna Carta are convoluted and complex so I’m going to try to smooth out the history and discard a lot of the minutia and tell you a more streamlined tale of one of the most significant documents of mankind. In the early 1200’s King Richard (the Lionheart) died. Succession to his younger brother John would seem automatic but there was tremendous support by English Barons for Richard’s nephew Arthur. John who had extensive lands in France pledged them to the French King Philip Augustus in return for his support in claiming the English throne. At about this time John became enamored with and married a French woman, Isabella, who unfortunately for John had been romantically involved and engaged to the French nobleman Hugh IX. Too bad for John but the jilted Hugh had the ear of King Philip who declared that the rest of John’s vast land holdings in France now belong to “moi” and Philip gives them to… Arthur (Richard’s nephew), and John’s rival for the throne in England. Well, John can’t just sit around and accept the proverbial slap in the face by Philip and goes to war to recover his lands. About this time Arthur mysteriously dies, hmmm. It is an expensive war that John ultimately loses at the Battle of Bouvines and he cedes all his landholdings to France. The drain on John’s treasury is devastating and his source of income from his vast holdings in land is gone. So what does King John do? He resorts to the time honored practice of politicians everywhere when the coffers are empty. He raises taxes. He raises taxes on hunting on royal lands, fishing and payments in lieu of military service. Even an early form of income taxes are levied. By this time the Barons of the country are virtually in rebellion. About this time John is also in conflict with the Pope (Innocent III). The Archbishop, selected by the monks of Canterbury who would normally act in concert with the King, ignore John and select one of their own choosing. So… John selects one of his own choosing, sends him to Rome and exiles the monks of Canterbury. Well the Pope doesn’t like John’s choice. He selects an Archbishop of his own and to force John’s hand, he declared that all church functions in England, including worship, marriages and mass among other things were now illegal. John says the olde English version of “big deal”. Innocent III then excommunicates him, another “big deal” from King John. It’s not until the not so innocent, Innocent appeals to King Philip of France to wage war and invade England, that John back down, says “OK, OK”. He agrees that England will become a Papal territory and for good measure, throws Ireland in as well. In essence John is now renting the country assurring great wealth and power to the Church and another large tax burden on the Barons whose subjects are in a

that ultimately filtered down to the common man. The gist of its main intent was to lend the principle that no one, regardless of status of birth or wealth and even the government is above the law.

*** When I stepped into the box, I felt the at-bat belonged to me. Everybody else was there for my convenience. The pitcher was there to throw me a ball to hit. The catcher was there to throw it back to him if he didn't give me what I wanted the first time. And the umpire was lucky that he was close enough to watch. — Reggie Jackson ***
