In the rich turbulence of English history, one day stands magnificently apart: June 15th, 1215, the day of the signing of the Magna Charta. On that day the first blow for English freedom was struck, and it has forever affected the Western World. Here is the story of three men, Stephen Langton, William Marshall and Hubert de Burgh, whose heroic deeds are set against those of the ever deceitful and crafty King John.
