John's death in 1216 allowed Magna Carta to survive and develop. The barons withdrew their support for Louis's invasion and rallied around John's son, Henry III. The new king's lengthy time as a child-monarch allowed the barons to assume a greater role in governance and refine Magna Carta's codified ideas.

In 1217, the Charter of the Forest (Carta de Foresta), which ended the arbitrary "evil customs" in forest law mentioned in Magna Carta, was ratified. Then, after Henry III came of age in 1227, he finally agreed to accept Magna Carta in exchange for taxes on the clergy and on land.

The original four

In the lead-up to Magna Carta's 800th anniversary, four surviving original copies from 1215 have been brought together for the first time at The British Library in London. The library announced on Monday that 1,215 people have won the opportunity to visit the display out of a pool of more than 40,000 people from around the world who entered a public ballot.

It is believed that King John had his clerks make between 13 and more than 30 copies for distribution across his kingdom. Hundreds more were later produced throughout the medieval era. Today, only four copies from that first group survive: Two are kept at the British Library, one at Lincoln Cathedral in eastern England and one at Salisbury Cathedral in southwest England.

Visits to Canada

In 2010, while a 1215 copy from the British Library was on display at the Manitoba Legislature, the Queen unveiled a stone from Runnymede that became the cornerstone of the new Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

A 1225 copy of Magna Carta from Durham Cathedral will tour Canada this year to mark the anniversary. It will stop at the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa (June 11-July 26), the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg (Aug. 15-Sept. 18), Fort York National Historic Site in Toronto (Oct. 4-Nov. 7) and the Legislative Assembly of Alberta's visitor centre in Edmonton (Nov. 23-Dec. 29).
