“At the signing of the Magna Carta, twenty-five men, representing the barons, signed as sureties of the baronial performance, in effect pledging the barons to fulfill their obligations to the Crown in accordance with the terms of the Great Charter.”

I did some research and all in vain, because I wisely reread the posts. macgregor 45 had quoted the proper definition. That of the 25 powerful men who were to keep tabs on the keeping of the Magna Carta. The nearest surety to where I am from in England was Geoffrey De Say of Edmonton (Middlesex).

My sincere wishes for your daughters recovery and indeed your own health. Though I and my wife - married 61 years are quite elderly, we realise how lucky we are to be healthy. Life can be cruel, indeed people need all the support they can get.
