A meadow, a king, and a promise that outlives crowns. Inkwell’s flight carries him to Runnymede in 1215 A.D., where King John faces his barons and is pressed to seal the Magna Carta. From parchment read aloud in the open air, we hear the tension that day when law first stood beside the throne.

The story follows beyond the meadow—John’s secret appeal to Rome, the Pope’s annulment, the war that followed, French banners flying in London, wagons lost in the Wash, and John’s death in 1216. Out of the storm rises a boy-king, Henry III, crowned at nine and steadied by William Marshal and later Hubert de Burgh. The charter is reissued, the realm steadied, and a promise begins its long echo across centuries.

In each episode, Inkwell witnesses real events through his keen raven eyes, bringing the past to life with vivid detail, humor, and heart.
