Letters Equal Words !! - a photo on Flickriver

And in the right order , words can create one of the world's most significant documents ( even if it is in Latin of some form ! ).
Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 09/08/2025 - Letters .
Of course all of you will know of and maybe recognise the Magna Carta of 1215 sealed by King John - however , the original document John reneged on and he had the Pope annul the charter he sealed with the Barons . After John died and a young King Henry III took the throne but was too young to rule at that time so William Marshal (a family ancestor of ours ) became Regent until his death in 1219 , and in this time he took the Magna Carta and reissued it in Henry III's name having made some alterations and it took it's place in history as the cornerstone of many of our laws and rights of the people .
Here is an easy to read overview of Magna Carta -----

And here is a translation for any academics to plough through found in the National Archives web site ---

So for the purpose of SSC , I hope my shot helps to show the importance of " Letters " .

After that mind bending lesson - relax with a tune called -
" Letters From Earth "
