The Magna Carta, which is one of the most important historical documents in history, had a long wind up and major repercussions. Because of King John II's rash actions and punishments, England was considered a rouge state. King John did apply for peace with the pope, and although the barons saw this as a surrender, they did not accept his actions. The barons and nobles raided and took London, and they made King John sign the Magna Carta. The document was not seen to make history at the time and was actually a failure because King John asked the Pope for an annulment. Moreover, the Magna Carta covered mostly tax stuff and some land and possession grant stuff to the nobles.
