Detailed explanation-1: -After first agreeing to the terms of Magna Carta, John reneged, asking the Pope to declare it invalid. On doing so, the betrayal ignited a civil conflict between the English Barons and the monarchy, dubbed the First Barons’ War, that lasted for two years, past John’s death and into the reign of his son, Henry III.
Detailed explanation-2: -The document, essentially a peace treaty between John and his barons, guaranteed that the king would respect feudal rights and privileges, uphold the freedom of the church, and maintain the nation’s laws.
Detailed explanation-3: -Well, with the failure of any agreement coming from the Magna Carta, civil war broke out between King John and the Barons, this became known as the First Barons’ War. The war divided my family as our son chose to fight on the barons’ side, although he did later come back to stand by his father’s side.
Detailed explanation-4: -King John was pressured into agreeing to the Magna Carta to make peace in England, as barons from the north and east of England rebelled against his rule and demanded protection from the king’s unbridled power.
