Magna Carta's Aftermath: The Charter's First Years

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the turbulent first years after King John sealed Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215. They trace how the charter was annulled by the pope within weeks, plunging England into civil war, and how it was resurrected and revised after John's death. Through the eyes of William Marshal, regent for the boy-king Henry III, they follow the reissue of 1216, the modified charter of 1217, and the famous 1225 version that became law. Along the way, they meet the archbishop Stephen Langton, hear the story of the Charter of the Forest, and uncover how a failed peace treaty morphed into a cornerstone of constitutional history. #MagnaCarta #Runnymede #KingJohn #HenryIII #WilliamMarshal #StephenLangton #CharterOfTheForest #1215 #1216 #1217 #1225 #EnglishConstitution #MedievalEngland #Angevin #Barons #CivilWar #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
