It might have been a massive part of how we managed to make it through to civilisation That part would have been brutal Parts of the Magna Carta still exist in UK law to this day.

If the goal is to injure or humiliate, or if it's done publicly, or if the motive is la... |

On the subject of John, it was because his acts of violence were so unsettling and outrageous that he was forced to sign the Magna Carta. Yes, all the medieval monarchs committed murderous acts but John did so with a fervour and a sense of impunity that suggests to me that he took particular pleasu... |
