Abstract
The modern reputation of Magna Carta is built upon series of contingencies and myths. The present paper explores various ways in which Victorian writers, taking their lead from Sir Walter Scott, transformed the image of King John and with it popular understanding of the purpose and effects of what John was obliged to do at Runnymede.
