I so enjoy your lectures Professor. And believe me as an old Professor myself. It takes a lot to hold my attention. Your pedagogy is top notch. But doesn’t this video need editing out of the off title segments?

Simply fan-tas-tic as always. Thank you

Whenever I see Magna Carta, I am reminded of the following quote by legendary British comedian Tony Hancock: "Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain? Brave Hungarian peasant girl who forced King John to sign the pledge at Runnymede and close the boozers at half past ten! Is all this to be forgotten?" Always makes me smile.

Once again, a huge thank you for this walk through history. If you ever feel like walking us through time STARTING at the Magna Carta and tracing the events up to today and how it has shaped our laws-a big request, I know!-that would be AMAZING.

Thank you! Great as always!

Thks & your video/computer is awesome too. Pls ?Could explain his workflow & his setup? Oh, he could call it the Gospel of Church Video Production for the Laymen ;)

According to the UK Parliament web site, there are actually *FOUR* clauses of Magna Carta still in force. You have conflated clauses 39 and 40. 1 (part) _"The English Church shall be free, and shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate."_ 13 _"And the city of London is to have all its ancient liberties and free customs, both on land and water. Moreover we wish and grant that all other cities, boroughs, towns and ports are to have all their liberties and free customs"_ 39 _"No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled or ruined in any way, nor in any way proceeded against, except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land."_ 40 _“To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice.”_ So you could summarise them as: Freedom of the Church of England Freedoms of all cities, boroughs, towns and ports Due process of law (leading to trial by jury) Justice shall not be sold or delayed. Or swift justice, with no bribery {:-:-:} _(Edited for tyops)_

Great lecture! I've always wondered why John got such a bad reputation, I never thought his crimes seemed especially heinous for the time period.

Question. I've heard it said that if the Queen of England and Great Britain etc wanted to she could dissolve parliament and take over control. But the reason that that's not done is it's considered better to have parliament in the will of the people, that is a better overall for the people and therefore the country. Does anyone know if that's true? Can someone from the emerald isles that may watch this or anyone who actually knows more about this than I do answer that question? Please and thank you.

The Emerald Isle is Ireland not Britain. The Queen can dissolve parliament as well as pause it along with some other arcane powers, most of which are now vested in the prime minister (such as proroguing as happened in 2019 in much controversy). It's highly unlikely these would ever be used.

I want to see you do a lecture about Robin Hood

the Timeline show did a down-the-rabbit hole on the Real Robin Hood -- there are a few candidates, during different kings -- it is on KZread

Actually, those English princes called Arthur that actually got close to inheriting the throne didn't end up well. King John killed off one of them (Arthur of Britanny, supposedly blinded, castrated and then killed) and the other was Arthur Prince of Wales who was Henry VIII's elder brother and the first husband of Henry's first wife, Catherine of Aragon. You may recall the complex set of events that the special permission the Pope gave to Henry to marry his brother's widow gave rise to, especially the bit we call the Church of England.

The legend of King Arthur quickly became the common possession of Europe but it was especially associated with Brittany. So it was astute of Geoffrey, an interloper, to christen his son Arthur and so associate himself and his house with this tradition.

Webster Tarpley does a nice essay about the this, because of course the contract was drawn up under duress. The king was held at swordpoint. Under basic contract law no contract made under duress or threat is valid. He also points out that the contract applied to robber barons. Not the serfs they owned. Yes, shock horror! Serf is just a word for slave, albeit not chattel slavery. More a type of indentured servitude. Basically the Noble and enlightened document hailed as the foundation of Western law and freedom etc is nothing of the sort. Like so much we are taught it's utter guff. I will listen to this piece at some point, just to hear a different perspective on those I am already familiar with, seeing as I live in the oligarchy it originates from.

The Romans claimed (conveniently) to have their Republic in place one year before Athens, but neither has a better claim to being the origin of modern democracy than Magna Carta. America and other modern democracies may draw inspiration and architectural style from the classic ones, but there is no line of tradition from one to the other. This may have been a tiny step that affected few, but it was a fundamental step in the actual legal tradition which led to modern democracy.

He has lectures covering Greek and Roman times, it's not like he neglects the subject on his platform.

These obligations are not “to make money”, it is to establish and maintain social power relationships. Think about it, the sovereign determines what satisfies the payment of the obligation, and even provides the means of payment of the obligation with tally stick, paper, coin, goods and services.

It is the first formalized step to remove some aspects of the absolute monarchy enjoyed by kings up until that time. It transferred some of the power away from the king to the "people" (only to the barons at this point). Therefore it was a small step along the road toward the power moving from the king to the people and as such it is one of the origins of democracy.

Graham Freeman - I realize that this is the proffered narrative for the Westminster model, but sorry, I just don’t buy it. It was not Magna Carta that was the incipient step for English parliamentarianism. The formation of the bicameral system - and especially the rising preeminence of the Commons - was the direct result of revolution and socioeconomic change originating from the bottom up: the Peasants’ Rebellion, the gradual rise of capitalism and the recession of the feudal system, the immediate aftermath of the English Civil War, and finally, the emergence of the Industrial Age.

@@grahamfreeman2252 There is no such thing as a representative government. A person whom is being governed is not being represented and a person whom is being represented is not being governed. It is impossible to both represent and govern a person at the same time. Furthermore, it is impossible for a person to represent two people with opposing positions at the same time, much less thousands or millions of people with opposing interests. In truth, any government only represents itself and a small minority of wealthy and influential people. The rest, it dominates. You should have less faith in politicians and monarchs. The Magna Carta was created to curb the power of England's monarch over the nobility, but it still left the commoners in practically the same position as before; serfs of the nobility.

imagine telling a grown man what to do with his hair.

This man doesn't understand the Magna Carta, it was only for free men, and those free men were the Baron's (nobility) not for the masses and it applies today. Just look when supreme court judge Antonin Scalia said to a committee of senators, the constitution simply doesn't apply, why? Not one of those senators asked him why it does apply in their courts. Simple answer, it only applies to free men, and not people who give up their inalienable, immutable God-given rights, by becoming a citizen, and accepting becoming a "person". Man/Woman created by the father in heaven, the person (assumed character) created by Man. A person is an image of man/Woman and an artificial entity, and only exist on paper, or if you believe you are a person, then you wish it into existence of your own free will. King James Bible Acts 10:34 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. The father in heaven doesn't want you living in some man-made creation, and Peter became aware of what the Latin word persona means by its definition. I live six miles from Warwick castle where the Earl of Warwick was known as the kingmaker, and six miles from Kenilworth castle where the siege of Kenilworth, also known as the great siege of 1266, was a six-month siege of Kenilworth castle and a battle of the Second Barons War. The siege was part of an English civil war fought from 1264-1267 by the forces of Simon De Montfort against the Royalist forces led by Prince Edward. The siege was one of few castle attacks to take place during the war. They finally surrendered on 13 December 1266 and accepted the terms of the "Dictum of Kenilworth," which later became part of the "Statutes of Marlborough. These Barons were the only free men, most were serfs and had no rights whatsoever, you either lived and work for a Baron who serve his people on his land well or not, and they exploited even the ruthless ones that the king was worse than them if you didn't believe the one's who treated you badly, you became a royalist, or if you believe your baron was a good or should I say honourable Man you would back him up and be willing to die in battle for him. Yet anyone who knows their Bible would know you own what you create, and in the King James Bible in Genesis 1:9 it will tell you who owns the land and gave it to all of mankind. In Exodus 20 it tells you who's the law to follow, and that's called the law of the land. The Lord God bless you with the ability to think for yourselves, but few do, he gave you life to be free, and have the freedom of free will. The majority give it up by becoming a citizen, and as the good book tells us you can't serve two masters. They are easily fooled by honeyed words and obey the wrong master, You are numbered, whether it's a marriage licence, passport, birth certificate, death certificate, national insurance number, etc, they all have numbers on them on bonded paper, bonded as in slave. You become easily fooled because you don't understand by your ignorance, in your failure to understand the grammar of the language you use and that capitalise lettering is saying nothing in English whether it's uppercase or lowercase or a mixture of both, you fall for it hook, line and sinker. You put your faith in man, instead of the one who gave you life, and accept man's laws, madness. You have the freedom to contract unlimited, yet you give it all up to become a legal fiction artificial entity called a person, with no immutable, inalienable rights and accept duties and privileges, madness. The creator laws are never changing, set in stone so to speak, yet man's so-called laws are forever changing, even to the point they get you to kill for them, start thinking for yourselves and wake up.
