Explanation:

Magna Carta Libertatum, better known as the Magna Carta, was a letter granted by John I of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on June 15, 1215. It was written first by the archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, with the aim of make peace between the English monarch, with wide unpopularity, and a group of rebellious barons. The document promised the protection of ecclesiastical rights, the protection of the barons from illegal detention, access to immediate justice, and limitations on feudal rates in favor of the Crown. The agreement would be implemented by a council of twenty-five barons. None of the sides complied with their commitments and the letter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, which led to the first war of the Barons.
