Final answer:

The historical events range from the murder of Thomas Becket to the start of World War I, including the signing of the Magna Carta and the English Civil War. The timeline aids in understanding the development of legal principles such as the rule of law established by the Magna Carta.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chronological Ordering of Historical Events

To accurately place the historical events in order, an understanding of their occurrence in relation to one another is necessary. This exercise requires organizing significant historical milestones from the medieval period into the era of the British Empire.

  1. Thomas Becket murder (1170)
  2. Magna Carta signed (1215) by King John of England
  3. Medieval period ends with the execution of Charles I and the start of the CommonWealth period (1649)
  4. Protestant Reformation begins (1517)
  5. Battle of Hastings (1066)
  6. Start of WW1 (1914)
  7. English Civil War begins (1642)
  8. Execution of Charles I (1649)
  9. Printing press invented (around 1440)
  10. Indian Rebellion/mutiny (1857)
  11. Battle of Plassey/East India Company takes over India (1757)
  12. Queen Elizabeth I dies (1603)

The Magna Carta was a significant legal document that implied that all people, including the king, were subject to the law, rejecting the notion that the king was above the law.
