It’s really sad to see that the England of the Magna Carta has become the UK of 1984.
It’s also Tupac’s birthday.
Almost of equal significance...
English monarchy trivia. King John was such an unpopular monarch, there has never been another King John in English and UK history. I believe John shares that distinction with Stephen, who reigned during a civil war.
I was lucky enough to actually see it. An honor.
Of additional interest are the Coronation Charter (Edward I) and the English Bill of Rights of 1689. They show some of our rights in their infancy and in a more developed form in the English Bill of Rights. They provide context for how we got to where we are now.
Lot of good it’s done the UK.
I remember it.
John Lackland was the worst of the Plantagenets, and thats saying something right there.
