One Pleasant Day in Runnymede
In the year of 1215 AD, an army of peasants and their tribal leaders, tired of the unbroken history of human abuse at the hands of “Devine Right Rulers” forced King John of England to sign the Magna Carta. They then forced him to sign and place the Royal Wax seal on fifty copies so all Englishmen would know their rights. This “Great Charter” was immediately annulled by the Pope. For the next eight centuries royalist burned every copy they could capture, but today four originals still remain.- Thursday, October 15, 2009
