Magna Carta was written during the reign of King John, who succeeded King Henry II. I don't live in England, but I was reading about the medieval era in England and stumbled upon this. I don't know about anyone else, but I found it quite interesting. (I'm pretty sure this isn't the whole thing, but I don't know if -anyone- knows the whole thing :d) Here's the story behind it - King John fought (and lost) many wars, weakening England financially. Tired of his policies, some of the barons asked that he recognize their rights and sign this document - the Magna Carta. Oh, by the way, the song's just random :d
