Magna Carta Libertatum   (Medieval Latin   for "the Great Charter of the Liberties"), commonly called  Magna Carta   (also  Magna Charta; "(the) Great Charter"),[a]   is a  charter   agreed to by  King John of England   at  Runnymede , near  Windsor , on 15 June 1215.[b] First drafted by the  Archbishop of Canterbury   to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel  barons , it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on  feudal   payments to  the Crown , to be implemented through a council of 25 barons. Neither side stood behind their commitments, and the charter was annulled by  Pope Innocent III , leading to the  First Barons' War . After John's death, the regency government of his young son,  Henry III , reissued the document in 1216, stripped of some of its more radical content, in an unsuccessful bid to build political support for their cause. At the end of the war in 1217, it formed part of the peace  treaty agreed at Lambeth , where the document acquired the name Magna Carta, to distinguish it from the smaller  Charter of the Forest   which was issued at the same time. Short of funds, Henry reissued the charter again in 1225 in exchange for a grant of new taxes; his son,  Edward I , repeated the exercise in 1297, this time confirming it as part of England's  statute law .

The charter became part of English political life and was typically renewed by each monarch in turn, although as time went by and the fledgling  English Parliament   passed new laws, it lost some of its practical significance. At the end of the 16th century there was an upsurge in interest in Magna Carta. Lawyers and historians at the time believed that there was an ancient English constitution, going back to the days of the  Anglo-Saxons , that protected individual English freedoms. They argued that the  Norman invasion of 1066   had overthrown these rights, and that Magna Carta had been a popular attempt to restore them, making the charter an essential foundation for the contemporary powers of Parliament and legal principles such as  habeas corpus . Although this historical account was badly flawed, jurists such as Sir  Edward Coke   used Magna Carta extensively in the early 17th century, arguing against the  divine right of kings   propounded by the  Stuart   monarchs. Both  James I   and his son  Charles I   attempted to suppress the discussion of Magna Carta, until the issue was curtailed by the  English Civil War   of the 1640s and the execution of Charles. The political myth of Magna Carta and its protection of ancient personal liberties persisted after the  Glorious Revolution   of 1688 until well into the 19th century. It influenced the early American colonists in the  Thirteen Colonies   and the formation of the  American Constitution   in 1787, which became the supreme law of the land in the new republic of the United States.[c]   Research by  Victorian   historians showed that the original 1215 charter had concerned the medieval relationship between the monarch and the barons, rather than the rights of ordinary people, but the charter remained a powerful, iconic document, even after almost all of its content was repealed from the statute books in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Magna Carta still forms an important symbol of liberty today, often cited by politicians and campaigners, and is held in great respect by the British and American legal communities,  Lord Denning   describing it as "the greatest constitutional document of all times – the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot".[4]

In the 21st century, four  exemplifications   of the original 1215 charter remain in existence, held by the  British Library   and the cathedrals of  Lincoln   and  Salisbury . There are also a handful of the subsequent charters in public and private ownership, including copies of the 1297 charter in both the United States and Australia. The original charters were written on  parchment   sheets using  quill   pens, in  heavily abbreviated   medieval Latin , which was the convention for legal documents at that time. Each was sealed with the royal  great seal   (made of  beeswax   and  resin   sealing wax ): very few of the seals have survived. Although scholars refer to the 63 numbered "clauses" of Magna Carta, this is a modern system of numbering, introduced by Sir  William Blackstone   in 1759; the original charter formed a single, long unbroken text. The four original 1215 charters were displayed together at the British Library for one day, 3 February 2015, to mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta
