Description:The Magna Carta agreement at Runnymede, on June 15th 1215 between England's most powerful barons and King John, made little difference to the lives of ordinary people. Most men (and women) were not 'free' but tied to their feudal overlords. In 1215, nearly all of Essex was designated 'forest' which meant that 'Forest Law' applied. This law had little to do with serving justice; it was used by the king as a means of levying harsh taxes.Essex barons were at the forefront of those who pushed hard for the Magna Carta. Robert Fitzwalter, Lord of Dunmow, was the leader of the council of twenty five charged with overseeing the enforcement of the charter. He was joined by Richard De Montfitchet, Sheriff of Essex, Geoffrey de Mandeville of Pleshet, William de Lanvallei, the Governor of Colchester Castle, and Robert de Vere of Castle Hedingham. Yet within three months England was at war. The charter was effectively dead and Essex racked by conflict.
