  27. King John vs. The Nobles

  28. The Magna Carta 1215 A.D. Nobles were upset due to: • Argument with Pope (interdict) • High taxes; cruelty • Lost costly wars (lost Normandy) • So, they REBEL

  29. The Magna Carta • They wrote out a list of their demands called the Magna Carta “Great Charter”. • They said either you agree to our demands or no more feudalism.

  30. InCommon?

  31. Nobles will face punishment only by other nobles. The king, like all others in England, must follow the law. The rights of the Church are considered to be the same as the rights of freemen. Your lands cannot be taken in payment for debt as long as you pay the debt some other way. There shall be standard weights and measures throughout the realm. The King shall not raise taxes without first consulting with the barons. No one will be put in jail without first having a trial by jury. No widow shall be forced to marry so long as she prefers to live without a husband. For small offences you will face only a small penalty. The king cannot force anyone to go to war outside of the country. No one will be forced to make bridges at river-banks. (seriously) The Magna Carta

  32. This is Important! The Magna Carta I, King John, accept that I have to rule according to the law. So I agree: 1. Not to imprison nobles without trial 2. To have fair taxation for the nobles 3. To let nobles travel wherever they like 4. Not to interfere in Church matters 5. Not to take crops without paying for them …and lot more things too!!
