Magna Carta Hiberniae 1216[1] (or the Great Charter of Ireland) is an issue of the English Magna Carta (or Great Charter of Liberties) in Ireland.
It was in effect the application of Magna Carta to Ireland, with appropriate substitutions (such as "Dublin" for "London", and "Irish Church" for "Church of England").
The only known copy of the charter was once to be found in the Red Book of the Dublin Court of Exchequer, a manuscript volume compiled in the fourteenth century.
The Red Book was destroyed in the explosion at the Four Courts in Dublin, in 1922, but the charter had been recorded by H. F. Berry in Early Statutes of Ireland (1907).
