                     THE GREAT CHARTER
         The period between the Conquest and 1200 was
 one of the growing state power. It was recognized that
 the king had certain rights and duties - the duty of
 keeping the peace, of leading the army in war, of
 securing his vassals in the possession of their domains,    îáåñïå÷åíèå,
 and the right to levy certain dues, to exact certain        ïîìåñòüå
 military and other services (ultimate owner of the land).
 In the same way the vassal had his corresponding rights
 and duties. But the barons still retained the right of      ñîõðàíÿëè

 kings, did make the attempt to pass beyond the power
 which the crown could claim without a violation of the      íàðóøåíèå
 feudal law. He levied arbitrary feues and aids, he
 confiscated estates of his vassals.In short, he attempted
 to go beyond the whole system of property relations
 lying at the root of the feudal system. The church was
 similarly treated. The result was the complete isolation
 of the crown from these sections that had previously
 been its strongest supportes. At the very moment,
 having lost the support of barons, John became involved     âîâëå÷åí
 in a direct dispute with Pope Innocent III over the         Ïàïà
 filling of the vacant archbishoprie of Canterbury. All      àðõèåïèñêîïñòâî
 that manifests the fact that the movement against John
 was to some extent of a popular character. Unwillingly
 he submitted, and at Punnymede on June 15th 1215 he         ïîä÷èíèëñÿ
