Tips
The Magna Carta was an agreement that the King of England would rule under law, it's said to be the founder of the countries legal system. King John met the opposing Barons here in 1215 and put his seal to the treaty. Although he revoked it almost instantly and started a civil war, this was the foundation of many laws that John's son King Henry III issued upon taking the throne after his fathers' death in 1216.

Just a stone's throw from the information board is the actual Magna Carta memorial. Unfortunately, two different users have turned it into two separate highlights in the komoot system, see =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/547090
