Note 1044 — MAGNA CARTA. (continued 6)
Reading edition
No. 45 of the Articles of the Barons is connected by a rude bracket with No. 46 (relating to the king of Scotland); and a saving clause, thus made applicable to both, is added with some appearance of haste: “nisi aliter esse debeat per cartas quas rex habet, per judicium archiepiscopi et aliorum quos secum vocare voluerit.” Cf. supra, 202. So far as related to Scotch affairs, the king’s caveat found its way, although in an altered form, into Magna Carta. See c.59.
