"Dan Jones has an enviable gift for telling a dramatic story while at the same time inviting us to consider serious topics like liberty and the seeds of representative government." Antonia FraserFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Plantagenets, a lively, actionpacked history of how the Magna Carta came to beby the author of The TemplarsThe Magna Carta is revered around the world as the founding document of Western liberty. Its principleseven its languagecan be found in our Bill of Rights and in the Constitution. But what was this strange document and how did it gain such legendary status?Dan Jones takes us back to the turbulent year of 1215, when, beset by foreign crises and cornered by a growing domestic rebellion, King John reluctantly agreed to fix his seal to a document that would change the course of history. At the time of its creation the Magna Carta was just a peace treaty drafted by a group of rebel barons who were tired of the kings high taxes, arbitrary justice, and endless foreign wars. The fragile peace it established would last only two months, but its principles have reverberated over the centuries.Joness riveting narrative follows the story of the Magna Cartas creation, its failure, and the war that subsequently engulfed England, and charts the high points in its unexpected afterlife. Reissued by King Johns successors it protected the Church, banned unlawful imprisonment, and set limits to the exercise of royal power. It established the principle that taxation must be tied to representation and paved the way for the creation of Parliament.In 1776 American patriots, inspired by that longago defiance, dared to pick up arms against another English king and to demand even more farreaching rights. We think of the Declaration of Independence as our founding document but those who drafted it had their eye on the Magna Carta.
