Men of Magna Carta: Right, Might and Depravity

Eight hundred years ago the Magna Carta became a part of the legal heritage of the English speaking world. This book describes the men and events that led to that ground braking document. Archbishop Stephen Langton wrote the document. The Earl of Pembroke William Marshal established it for posterity. The wicked King John of England caused the desire for liberty that the Magna Carta provided. Other people contributed. This short account is a great introduction to the people and events that brought us freedom through the written laws of England.
