Lincoln Castle: Magna Carta Lincoln Castle: Magna Carta No Data

Description


Lincoln still holds it's original copy of the 1215 Magna Carta, as well as the 1217 Charter of the Forests which helped to solidify the role of the monarch following the death of King John and a protracted Civil War. Both documents are on display in a climate controlled vault. Next to the vault an audio visual presentation tells the story of the Magna Carta - why it was needed, how John tried to defy it and how his son Henry III helped to establish the charter that has become fundamental to much of global human rights.
