Magna Carta in 20 Places by Derek Taylor
For 800 years, Magna Carta has inspired those prepared to face torture, imprisonment and even death in the fight against tyranny. Back in 1215, when King John was forced to issue Magna Carta, it was regarded as little more than a stalling tactic in the bloody conflict between monarch and barons.
