GNDCrefuse+to+pay+the+taxes

King John is a tyrant is should be brought to pay for his crimes. We have heard of the atrocities he is committing against innocent women and children who do not pay his taxes. I have not only urged my husband to not pay the taxes but to join with the other Barons against him.

The Barons have revolted before, but usually they attempt to replace the king with someone else, but this time there is no one else, so instead they devised a Great Charter with demands that the king can not act against these "rights" of freemen and nobles.

We have won, the Barons forced King John to sign the document. It is called the Magna Carta, a great victory for all people.
