Magna Carta at the Moxie

Over a year in planning, the first community event of the Springfield Metropolitan Bar Foundation's Magna Carta Project will be held this week. 

Magna Carta at the Moxie, subtitled "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, true love, miracles …. and the rule of law" is a free film series preceding the much anticipated October opening of  Magna Carta: Enduring Legacy 1215-2015

The film series debuts Saturday, September 12, noon with the 1968 classic Lion in Winter.  Join your collegues and guests for and plan to stay after the film for a presentation by Drury professor and art historian Dr. Thomas Russo. Dr. Russo gave a fascinating presentation on Magna Carta at the June SMBA lunch and this time will elaborate on court life and the political landscape of the Henry II’s Angevin empire in the late twelfth century and how this relates to the development of Magna Carta in 1215.
