Little has been done, though, to compare these documents in order to find out what their differences and similarities can tell us about rulership in thirteenth-century Europe. This paper will focus on two documents – King John’s Magna Carta of 1215 and the Statute of Pamiers, issued in 1212 by Simon de Montfort, leader of the Albigensian Crusade – looking at the context in which they were issued, and how they were used by those who granted them to broadcast a message about their rule.
