=====================
An animation outlining the events of 1214 and 1215, detailing how British barons rebelled against King John, forcing the signing of the Magna Carta.

King John’s wars with France and his desperate need for funds are the reasons for John’s increasingly arbitrary and unpopular rule. The barons are finally pushed too far by constant fines and taxes and rebel, seizing London to force the king to negotiate limits to his power. This leads to the Magna Carta being agreed at Runnymede in June 1215.

This clip is from the BBC series The Story of Britain: Exploring the Mesolithic period to the Domesday Book, we meet some families who shaped the 'Story of Britain'. These films are designed to help children understand the chronology of history.

Teaching History?

This could be used as an introduction to the Magna Carta and start discussions on how it was used. What is the Magna Carta? Why was the Magna Carta made? You could go on to explore the impact of the Magna Carta then and today.

This will be relevant for teaching History at KS2 or Second Level (Scotland).
