The Magna Carta
barons #1
King Johnʼs willingness to ignore custom and
abuse his rights eventually led many of the
barons to rebel against him. In 1212 there was
an unsuccessful conspiracy to assassinate him
involving Robert Fitz Walter and Eustace de
Vesci. This plot seems to have had little effect
on his treatment of the barons, and the more
unjustly he behaved, the more he encouraged
his opponents to organise themselves against
him. Even the Archbishop of Canterbury was
involved in trying to find a resolution.
Stephen Langton (c. 1150-1228), Archbishop of Canterbury, played a big role in the talks between King John and
the rebel barons, which led to Magna Carta. It was Langton who came up with the idea to draw up Magna Carta,
inspired by an earlier charter issued by King Henry I at his coronation. Langton was a great scholar, who spent many
years as a teacher in Paris, writing commentaries on the Bible. His main idea was that a king should obey the rule of
God.John eventually backed down, in 1213, when he faced rebellion by hisbarons and needed the Pope’s support. After
five years in exile in Paris, Langton was allowed to take up his archbishopric.
