Read the first two paragraphs of the section "A Copy Of A Copy": To be clear, the copy of Magna Carta dates from 1297. It is not an
“original” and it’s not even based on the original. Instead, it is a copy of a
copy of a copy. Its history shows how Magna Carta evolved from an
agreement that ended a rebellion between an English king and some
wealthy landowners, into a symbol of liberty. It also shows how Magna
Carta went viral.
In 1215, a group of English lords rebelled against King John, one of the
great villains of British history, and captured London. The two sides spent
nine days negotiating in the meadow of Runnymede, in the south of
England. Magna Carta was the agreement that ended the rebellion.
