A note from Michael Hart, preparer of the 0.1 version.

            This file contains a number of versions of the Magna Carta, some of which were a little mangled in transit. I am sure our volunteers will find and correct errors I didn't catch, and that version 0.2 - 1.0 will have significant improvements, as well as at least one more version in Latin.

            Version 1.0 may contain a dozen different versions.

            The Text of Magna Carta

            JOHN, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, Greeting.
