 In early 1225, a great council approved a tax of £40,000 to dispatch an army, which quickly retook Gascony.In exchange for agreeing to support Henry, the barons demanded that the King reissue Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest.The content was almost identical to the 1217 versions, but in the new versions, the King declared that the charters were issued of his own "spontaneous and free will" and confirmed them with the royal seal, giving the new Great Charter and the Charter of the Forest of 1225 much more authority than the previous versions.
