The English throughout history don't think the Magna Carta was as important as Americans think it is. It is ironically more important to the American founding myths than the English. It was legally defunct by the 1400's, in large part due to events like the War of the Roses.

Death of Charles I: 1649

Founding of Jamestown: 1607 (Guess the name of the English king that started really pushing for absolute monarchism in England during this period btw)

Columbus's voyage: 1492
