Answer: The king could not imprison anyone who had not been convicted by his peers.

The Magna Carta is a charter of rights signed by King John of England on June 15, 1215. Among other things, the charter promised the protection of church rights, protection from illegal imprisonment, access to justice and limitations on federal payments to the Crown. The charter became part of England's statute law in 1297.
