History - Middle Ages - Magna Carta - England
Which English king signed the Magna Carta in 1215?
Correct!
King John sealed the Magna Carta in 1215.
In 1215, rebellious English barons forced King John to seal the Magna Carta. The document was intended to limit the king’s power and protect certain rights of the nobility. Although many provisions were later changed or abolished, the Magna Carta became an important symbol of the idea that a ruler is not above the law. It was sealed at Runnymede near the River Thames, west of London.
