It was supposed to be a peace agreement between rebel barons and the king, but neither side actually held to the agreement, the Pope annulled it, and then they had a war.

The Magna Carta Libertatum was a flawed document with high ideas that helped to lead to other similar documents, but it didn't actually accomplish all that much.

I've wondered about the Popes postition on MC. The royalty of Europe and the church had a really good racket going on, Pope gave out franchises to royalty to justify their absolute power. in exchange church got regular monthly checks. things like MC messed with their business plan.
