will Magna Carta

Edward IX

Basically what the tin says. What if King John had refused to sign the Magna Carta? Had the Political situation evolved where it had reached a point where it had to happen then?

What if a stronger King had been in power?
 
John was a good administrator but bad at generalship. He did not appear to provoke loyalty. Someone who was a better commander would not have been in a situation where the magna carta was created since the barons would have been convinced their rights were protected.
 
I should add the barons felt John was tolerable until the loss of Normandy despite the fact that they still didn't have the Magna Carta rights when John had Normandy!
