Henry I promised to correct abuses associated with his predecessors. Within the broader Norman & Angevin Britain period, Norman conquest, cross-Channel lordship and royal reform created a new aristocracy and a more centralized monarchy. This event is placed at 1100 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The charter later served as an important precedent invoked by the barons before Magna Carta.
