Runnymede

Runnymede is a meadow near the River Thames in England, best known as the site where, in 1215, King John agreed to the Magna Carta. This historic document limited the power of the monarchy and established that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law. The Magna Carta is often seen as a cornerstone of modern democracy and individual rights. Runnymede symbolizes the ongoing struggle for liberty and justice, making it a significant landmark in the history of governance and human rights.
