Episode Title: The Siege of London and the Magna Carta: How Barons Broke a King
In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco dive into one of medieval England’s most dramatic turning points—the Siege of London in 1215 and the creation of the Magna Carta. Discover how a fed-up group of barons stormed the capital, how King John’s reckless rule ignited a rebellion, and how a real-life noble outlaw—possibly the inspiration for Robin Hood—played a pivotal role in the uprising.
You’ll learn how the Magna Carta came to be, what rights it promised, how quickly it unraveled, and how its legacy still shapes legal systems around the world today.
PLUS: Stay tuned after the episode for an original historical folk ballad, The Siege and the Scroll—a musical retelling of rebellion, parchment, and power.
