this article would seem to be a basic piece relative to providing a<br>
historical context for the the principle of the commons<br>
<br>
first paragraph: The charter was designed to complement Magna Carta, which<br>
had been signed in 1215 by Henry�s predecessor and father, King John, in<br>
which he promised his subjects that England would be governed, and his<br>
barons dealt with, according to the customs of feudal law. Almost<br>
immediately, Magna Carta was nullified by Pope Innocent III, who agreed<br>
with John that the agreement had been extorted by force. The barons<br>
rebelled (see Barons� War), and in October 1216 John died and was<br>
succeeded by his nine-year-old son, Henry. A council of barons loyal to<br>
John, and led by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, was created to rule on<br>
Henry�s behalf. To end the rebellion, it decided to reissue Magna Carta.<br>
This document had never satisfactorily dealt with the issue of forest law,<br>
which was a cause of widespread resentment.<br>
