The barons did not trust the King to keep to his agreement at Runnymede, and attempted to set up a new parliament in order to keep John in check. However, John鈥檚 wriggling and the Pope鈥檚 opposition meant that the charter effectively died away within 2 years of being signed. However, John鈥檚 unexpected death in 1218 and the accession of his son Henry III saw the return of peace and stability to the realm. Henry reissued the Magna Carta in 1225 in return for taxation from his barons. It continued to be reissued throughout the next century, and the principle of linking taxation to observance of rights was firmly established and led to the creation of the modern day parliament and judicial system.
