A visit to view the best preserved original Magna Carta in the Chapter House is for many visitors the highlight of their time at Salisbury Cathedral, one of the finest Medieval Cathedrals in Britain. Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter") is one of the most celebrated documents in English history.

The feudal system bound medieval society together in a hierarchy of relationships. Under the feudal system the King was all-powerful.
