Book Description
Excerpt from The Constable's Tower: Or the Times of Magna Charta Hubert DE burgh, a man of unflinching faith, courage, and loyalty, is one of the few figures that can be looked at with satisfaction in the reign of John, since he was always patient and consistent with his own principles. That he saved Arthur of Brittany from being blinded, as in the scene given by Shakespeare, has always been believed. He was then Seneschal of Poitou, and afterwards Constable of Dover Castle. 'his name is among those who signed Magna Charta on behalf of the King, but he did not take part with the Barons when John attacked them, holding himself bound by his faith to the King.

Book Description
This new account of the influence of Magna Carta on the development of English public law is based largely on unpublished manuscripts. The story was discontinuous. Between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries the charter was practically a spent force. Late-medieval law lectures gave no hint of its later importance, and even in the 1550s a commentary on Magna Carta by William Fleetwood was still cast in the late-medieval mould. Constitutional issues rarely surfaced in the courts. But a new impetus was given to chapter 29 in 1581 by the 'Puritan' barrister Robert Snagge, and by the speeches and tracts of his colleagues, and by 1587 it was being exploited by lawyers in a variety of contexts. Edward Coke seized on the new learning at once. He made extensive claims for chapter 29 while at the bar, linking it with habeas corpus, and then as a judge (1606–16) he deployed it with effect in challenging encroachments on the common law. The book ends in 1616 with the lectures of Francis Ashley, summarising the new learning, and (a few weeks later) Coke's dismissal for defending too vigorously the liberty of the subject under the common law.
