King John of England was bludgeoned (well, not literally) into signing Magna Carta in the year 1215. It was a bill of rights that limited the power of the monarch, saying the king was not above the law - something still true in British law today.
The treaty lasted only a few months, but later ones were even stronger.
The house where i grew up was sold in 1236 🙂
