Magna Carta: A Commentary on the Great Charter of King John
King of England (r. 1135-1154) whose Oxford Charter extended concessions on intestate property of clergy.
Stephen, in his second or Oxford Charter, gave up all such claims, as regards the property of prelates and clerks, who were confirmed in their rights of making Wills.
Stephen, while retaining the forests of the two Williams, renounced those added by Henry I.
Round proves, further, that the new concessions were cancelled by Stephen in 1141, when Geoffrey de Mandeville compelled Stephen to appoint him as sheriff and justiciar of London.
