It sounds like the BBC's scriptwriters have got a little
confused here

Actually it was ITV and the scriptwriter was a certain Peter Morgan. What I
think is strange though is that he didn’t just say ‘we have found an ancient
law’ and leave it at that, instead of going on to say ‘it dates from the
time of King John’. I mean he must have had some basis for saying this and
he must have had historians checking the script.
