June 15, 1215: King John signs the Magna Carta, which begins, "The Church of England shall be free".

That's not entirely correct. It actually begins "John, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, Greeting.". The church reference says "the English Church shall be free" which is not the same thing as the Church of England. The Church of England was created over three centuries later by Henry VIII at the beginning of the English Reformation.
