Note 1097 — APPENDIX. DOCUMENTS RELATIVE TO, OR ILLUSTRATIVE OF JOHN’S MAGNA CARTA.

See supra, pp. 202-5 and Index. The text is founded upon that published by Mr. J. H. Round in the English Historical Review, VIII. 288, but effect has been given to most of the emendations suggested by Mr. Hubert Hall and Mr. G. W. Prothero. Cf. Ibid., IX. 117 and 326. The copy in the French Archives follows, on the same parchment, a copy of the Charter of Liberties of Henry I. from which it is separated by the following words (indicating the nature of both documents, the one that had gone before and the other that was to follow): “Hec est Carta Regis Henrici per quam barones querunt libertates et hec consequentia concedit Rex Johannes.” Then follow twelve clauses which are here numbered for convenience of reference, although no numbers appear in the copy.
