"Magna Carta and Medieval Government" brings together Professor Holt's writings on the period, many of which are at present not easily accessible. Eight of the pieces are on Magna Carta itself, but seldom repeat the findings of Professor Holt's classic Magna Carta. As well as giving a succinct account of the making of Magna Carta, the author approaches his subject from a variety of different angles, and examines in detail a number of versions and copies of the Charter to shed light on its local reception and importance, and on how it was interpreted in different places. Two pieces deal with King John: there is a survey of his reputation and character and the reasons for his failure; and a definitive account of his celebrated 'Disaster in the Wash'. Magna Carta and Medieval Government also includes a highly illuminating discussion of the social and political tensions that strained the Anglo-Norman Empire and brought about the loss of Normandy.

Magna Carta marked a watershed in the relations between monarch and subject and as such has long been central to English constitutional and political history. This volume uses it as a springboard to focus on social, economic, legal, and religious institutions and attitudes in the early thirteenth century. What was England like between 1199 and 1215? And, no less important, how was King John perceived by those who actually knew him? The essays here analyse earlier Angevin rulers and the effect of their reigns on John's England, the causes and results of the increasing baronial fear of the king, the "managerial revolution" of the English church, and the effect of the ius commune on English common law. They also examine the burgeoning economy of the early thirteenth century and its effect on English towns, the background to discontent over the royal forests which eventually led to the Charter of the Forest, the effect of Magna Carta on widows and property, and the course of criminal justice before 1215. The volume concludes with the first critical edition of an open letter from King John explaining his position in the matter of William de Briouze. Contributors: Janet S. Loengard, Ralph V. Turner, John Gillingham, David Crouch, David Crook, James A. Brundage, John Hudson, Barbara Hanawalt, James Masschaele

In many respects this book, first published in 1961, marked a somewhat radical departure from contemporary historical writings. It is neither a constitutional nor a political history, but a historical definition and explanation of the main features which characterised the three kinds of government which can be discerned in the Middle Ages – government by the Pope, the King, the People. The author’s enviable knowledge of the sources – clerical, secular, legal, constitutional, liturgical, literary – as well as of modern literature enables him to demonstrate the principles upon which the papal government, the royal government, and the government of the people rested. He shows how the traditional theocratic forms of government came to be supplanted by forms of government based on the will of the people. Although concerned with the Middle Ages, the book also contains much that is of topical interest to the discerning student of modern institutions. Medieval history is made understandable to modern man by modern methods.

This new history is the first to tell the story of Magna Carta ‘through the ages’. No other general work traces its continuing importance in England’s political consciousness. Many books have examined the circumstances surrounding King John’s grant of Magna Carta in 1215. Very few trace the Charter’s legacy to subsequent centuries and even fewer look at the fate of the physical document. Turner also underlines its great influence outside the United Kingdom, especially in North America. Today, the Charter enjoys greater prestige in the United States, the land of lawyers, than in Britain. U.S. citizens claim Magna Carta as a source of their liberties, guaranteeing ‘due process of law’ and condemning ‘executive privilege’.

Today Magna Carta is one of the most celebrated documents in English history. But although it has since come to symbolise some of the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights, it was never intended to be a lasting declaration of legal principle. It was a practical attempt to resolve a political crisis. This book explores the roles of the protagonists involved in the creation of Magna Carta in 1215 and describes the political situation in England at the time the wars with France, the king s exploitation of the feudal system, the barons financial grievances, abuses in the administration of justice and the king s relationship with the Church. Illustrated throughout, and with a translation of the complete text of Magna Carta, the book explores the context in which Magna Carta came to be issued, in order to understand what it really meant to its creators and to those who have used and revered it since.
