Magna Carta

3

We must have new rules, which even a king must obey!

2

And if we don't pay up, he takes what he want!

1

King John demands even higher taxes to pay for his futile war in France...

1

My Lords, you have come here today from all corners of England. Tell me what are you concerns

4

How will we do that?! There are no rules which a king us to obey!

2

We must find a way to limit the powers of King John...

3

We will make new rules!

1

We must send a clear message to the King, he must agree to limit his power! 

3

Then together we will raise a great army! We will take London and leave him no choice...

2

And if he doesn't agree?

1

Your Majesty, the rebels advance towards London...

2

I have nothing to fear from Robert Fitzwalter and his rabble, I will not submite!

1

Your Majesty, Fitzwalter is in London and the people cheer him

2

It's time to talk to the rebels 

3

I do not talk to traitors!



You will no longer force widows to marry against their will.

You will not imprison men without a charge.

Twenty-five barons will watch you carefully to make sure that you obey these rules!

AGREED!
