 This mainly because the beneficiaries of "Magna Carta" were only the barons while the beneficiaries of the Charter of Kortenberg included all citizens, expressly 'the rich and the poor' ("riken ende armen").Reinforcing this view is the composition of the Council of Kortenberg which clearly marks a difference with the more 'elitist' "Magna Carta".Whilst "Magna Carta" was to be implemented by a council of 25 barons, the Council of Kortenberg counted four knights and ten townsmen.
