The Magna Carta A Descendant's Journey Through History

Connections to the Magna Carta (6)
Imagine finding out you're not just linked to a pivotal slice of history, but directly descended from both sides of it. That's my story. I'm a 25th great-grandchild of King John of England and also connected to 12 of the 25 barons who played a key role in the Magna Carta. This isn't just a chapter from a history book for me; it's a personal journey through my family's past.
Few documents have resonated through the ages like the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta emerged from a period of tumult and tyranny. King John, my ancestor, often remembered more for his vices than virtues, was at the heart of this drama. His reign, marked by military failures, exorbitant taxation, and disputes with the Church, set the stage for a historic standoff between the crown and its subjects.

Notes - Sir Robert de Ros (c. 1182-1226/7) was an influential Anglo-Norman feudal baron, soldier, and administrator, remembered primarily as one of the twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Carta by King John of England. Born to Everard de Ros and Roese Trussebut, Robert inherited significant estates, including the baronies of Helmsley in Yorkshire and Wark on Tweed in Northumberland.
Robert's early life was marked by the death of his father, leaving his lands in the custody of the Chief Justiciar of England, Ranulf de Glanvill. In 1191, he married Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of King William I of Scotland, and inherited a third of the Trussebut estates, including lands in Normandy, where he became hereditary bailiff and castellan.
Throughout his career, Robert had a complex relationship with the English crown. He initially supported King Richard I and later King John, witnessing royal charters and participating in diplomatic and military missions. However, tensions with King John emerged around 1205, leading to the seizure of his lands and the taking of his son as a hostage. Despite these challenges, Robert regained favor and was sent on a diplomatic mission to Scotland in 1209.
In 1212, Robert entered a monastic order, but he returned to secular life the following year, serving as sheriff of Cumberland and participating in the reconciliation between King John and William de Forz. Despite his initial loyalty to John, Robert joined the baronial rebellion in 1215, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and being appointed to control Yorkshire and possibly Northumberland.
Robert's participation in the rebellion led to his excommunication by the Pope and the forfeiture of his lands. He remained on the rebel side even after King John's death in 1216, supporting Prince Louis of France. Eventually, he submitted to the new government and regained most of his lands.
In his later years, Robert witnessed the reissue of the Magna Carta in 1225 and re-entered a monastic order, possibly the Knights Templar, by the end of 1226. He died in 1226 or 1227 and was buried in the Temple Church in London.
Robert de Ros's life reflects the turbulent political landscape of early 13th-century England. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John highlights his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance during this period.
