Runnymede, 15 June 1215. King John and Archbishop Stephen Langton get Magna Carta ready while Roger and Keith read the small print so you don’t have to. John sealed it rather than signing it, which is exactly the sort of detail a legal notice should get right.

A plain-English guide to who is behind theageteamhistory.com, how you can use what's here, and what we can and can't be held responsible for.
Who runs this site
This website is run by The Age Team, a creative history project operated by Anthony West. You can reach us through the form on our Contact page or at hello.theageteam@gmail.com.
Using this website
Feel free to read, print or save pages for your own use. Please don't misuse the site: no attempts to break it, overload it, or reach areas or systems that aren't meant to be public.
Our content
Unless a page says otherwise, the text, videos, AI-generated images, maps, timelines, graphics, characters (including Roger and Keith), logos and design on this site belong to us. Please ask before copying, reposting, selling or reworking any of it, and leave credits and copyright notices as they are.
Sharing a link to a page, embedding our YouTube videos using YouTube's own embed option, and quoting a short extract with credit and a link back are all welcome.
Historical material and rights holders
Our work draws on historical records, photographs, artworks and maps, and we credit our sources wherever we can. If something shown here is yours and you're unhappy with how we've used or credited it, get in touch through the form. We'll look into it quickly and credit, correct or take down the material where that's the right thing to do.
AI illustrations, comedy and accuracy
Many of our images are AI-generated illustrations based on historical records and photographs. They are interpretations of how people, places and events may have looked, not photographs of real moments. The conversations between Roger and Keith, and the jokes around them, are comic dramatisation, and nothing in them should be taken as a real quotation unless we say so.
We research each film before we make it, but historians often disagree and understanding changes as new evidence appears. Treat this site as a starting point for curiosity, not the last word. If a decision matters, whether for study, work or business, check it against other sources. If you spot a mistake, tell us. Where we make a significant clarification, we add an editorial note to the relevant page, and our approach is set out on our Research & Editorial Standards page.
Links, YouTube and Ko-fi
Some of what you see here comes from other services, such as YouTube and Ko-fi. They run independently of us, so their content, terms and privacy practices are theirs to answer for. It's worth reading their policies before you use them.
Support given through Ko-fi is voluntary and goes towards making the channel. It isn't a purchase of any product or service. Ko-fi processes payments under its own terms.
Our liability
We try to keep the site accurate and running, but mistakes happen and downtime is possible, so we can't guarantee either. Within the limits of the law, we aren't liable for any loss or damage that arises from using the site, relying on what it says, or not being able to reach it.
Nothing here excludes liability that the law doesn't allow us to exclude, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
Updates to this notice
We may revise this notice as the site grows. Whatever is on this page today is the version that applies, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed.
Which law applies
This notice and any dispute arising from it are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can hear any dispute.
