Description
At Runnymede on 15 June 1215, the seal of King John was attached to the Magna Carta and peace descended upon the land. Or that's what successive generations have believed. But is it true? And have we been persuaded (or persuaded ourselves) that the events of 15 June 1215 not only ended a civil war between the king and the barons but magically established a British constitution beloved and copied throughout the world? Informative, entertaining and controversial, David Starkey challenges centuries of myth-making.
