302500111	125k	*Namesake* Runnymede - Runnymede is a water-meadow alongside the River Thames in the English county of Surrey, and just over 20 miles west of central London. It is notable for its association with the sealing of the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta, English Great Charter, charter of English liberties granted by King John on June 15, 1215, under threat of civil war and reissued, with alterations, in 1216, 1217, and 1225. By declaring the sovereign to be subject to the rule of law and documenting the liberties held by “free men,” the Magna Carta provided the foundation for individual rights in Anglo-American jurisprudence. ©Trustees of the British Museum "The ratifying the Magna Charta by King John; King John delivering Magna Carta to the Barons" - This print reproduces a painting by John Hamilton Mortimer (1740-79), exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1776. Imagining the scene of the granting of Magna Carta at Runnymede, Mortimer shows Archbishop Langton (1150-1228) on the point of handing over the charter to Robert fitz Walter (1162-1235), the leader of the rebel barons.
