Set in 1215 England, the narrative explores the pivotal moment when King John was compelled by his barons to sign the Magna Carta, a landmark document that limited the king's power, particularly regarding taxation without consent. The backdrop of financial strain from costly Crusades highlights the barons' frustration with excessive taxation. This historical account delves into the power dynamics among the Catholic Church, the monarch, and the barons, marking a significant shift in governance and rights during medieval times.
