On June 15th, 1215, King John of England met with disgruntled barons at Runnymede to seal the Magna Carta, a document that would fundamentally alter the course of human history. This 'Great Charter' was not just a peace treaty; it was the birth of the idea that the king is not above the law, a concept that underpins modern judicial systems and the United States Constitution. This episode of Deep Dive explores this pivotal medieval moment and transitions into the lives of three notable figures born on this day: the fourteenth-century warrior Edward the Black Prince, the Romantic composer Edvard Grieg, and modern television star Courteney Cox. We also take a sharp turn into the history of medicine, examining the first documented human blood transfusion in 1667, involving an unlikely donor and a teenage patient.
