For evidence of its importance, consider this: the last time an original Magna Carta came up for sale, in 2007, it sold for over $21 million (£10.5 million).

It was bought by David Rubenstein, one of the founders of the Carlyle Group. It was already in residence at the National Archive in Washington until the owner decided to sell it. He (Rubenstein) wanted to see it remain there for the public to see.
