One of the most important documents ever written, Magna Carta was sealed by King John after negotiations with his barons and their French and Scots allies at Runnymede in 1215.


Magna Carta has inspired the way we view issues of justice and liberty, in both Britain and around the world, ever since. 


In this episode of Gone Medieval, Matt Lewis is joined by Professor David Carpenter to work out the how’s, why’s and what’s of Magna Carta.


This episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg.
