A Version of Magna Carta Found By Accident

Now, this is really cool!

A rare version of the Magna Carta was found recently in Britain, in the town of Sandwich. It was in a scrap book, of all places!

This is the seventh copy of the Magna Carta known to exist.

The first version of the Magna Carta, which is often credited with numerous other legal restrictions on a monarch's power both inside and outside of Britain since, came in 1215. The final version of it came in 1300, and featured the king's seal.
