National Archives in Washington DC Magna Carta

WASHINGTON DC, United States — The 1297 Magna Carta, one of only four surviving originals, is displayed at the National Archives Building. This version, which entered the official Statute Rolls of England, was donated by David M. Rubenstein. The document represents King John's forced agreement with rebellious barons at Runnymede in 1215, though this display copy dates from a later reissue.
