 June 15, 1215, was a Monday, the start of a new week and the beginning of a new era in history, when England’s King John led his entourage to the meadow at Runnymede (some 30kms South West of London, near the site of today’s Heathrow Airport), to seal a deal with rebellious barons – a deal we know as the Magna Carta.
