Virtual Branch Recording: Magna Carta

This month at the Virtual Branch, renowned medieval historian David Carpenter will delve into the enduring legacy of Magna Carta. Drawing on his recent work uncovering and authenticating a Magna Carta document in the United States, Carpenter will explore why both the dating and the content of this foundational charter continue to matter today.
David Carpenter is a Professor of Medieval History at King's College London. His biography of Henry III came out in the Yale English Monarchs Series in two volumes: Henry III 1207-1258: The Rise to Power and Personal Rule (2020) and Henry III 1258-1272: Reform, Rebellion, Civil War and Settlement (2023).
