Magna Carta

Magna Carta DocumentThe Magna Carta marked an agreement negotiated between King John's government and his subjects concerning the limits and responsibilities of Government and the legal rights of free citizens. It contained the pledge that no free man should have his rights removed without the due process of law and the judgement of his peers. It is taken to be the foundation of the liberties of the citizen in the English-speaking world.

It was in St Albans that the document which was to develop into Magna Carta was first read.
