Carta

- they could overthrow him and replace him with someone else-but who?

- they knew they would have to get the king into a position where he had no choice but to
sign
- the barons chose Robert Fitz Walter as there leader
- they put together an army to occupy London. King John couldnt raise an army without the support of the barons, so he had to negotiate with them
