No mention here of the second charter signed at the same time "The Charter of the Forest"! The people's charter, as it was popularly called, protected the rights of the people against their abuse by the King, the Barons and the Bourgeoisie and not just sorting out the relationship of those already in power.

Ahhh. That’s another thing. The slave owners viciously punished any attempts for the enslaved to learn to read and write. No chance of them writing a charter.
The Barons were no happier with restrictions placed on their rapacity and abuse of "their" peasants who were often little better than slaves and sought to defend their 'Commons" rights from privatization. Often this was all that kept them alive.
And then in the 18th Century, with the "Enclosure movement" it was said that "The man who stole a goose from the commons was transported to America, while the man who stole the commons from the goose was transported to Parliament."
