Why did England’s most powerful barons force King John to agree to Magna Carta in 1215, what did it actually say, and why do people still talk about it more than 800 years later? With Ziggy the inventor owl, explore causes, key clauses, what happened next and how historians interpret Magna Carta. It supports the Key Stage 3 history study of Medieval Britain in the national curriculum for England.
