It was King John I of England.
The Magna Carta (Great Charter of Freedoms), is the first major English legal charter. It was written in Latin and issued by King John (reigned 1199-1216) and the barons at Runnymede on June 15, 1215. It required the king to proclaim certain rights (for freemen), respect certain legal procedures, and accept that the monarch's will itself could be bound by the law. It was a most significant influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of law in the English-speaking world.
Most people think that King John and the barons actually signed it, but there were in fact no signatures on the original charter, rather a seal placed by King John. In fact, the words of the Magna Carta ("Data per manum nostram") explicitly state that the document was personally issued by the king's hand. The King and the barons were following common law and practice of their time, that a seal was sufficient to certify a deed, in front of the proper witnesses. The barons neither signed nor attached their seals to it.
The barons formed a committee of 25 "Enforcers of the Magna Carta". The information below is combined from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and "An historical essay on the Magna charta of King John" (Richard Thomson - 1829). They are listed with Thomson's order and spelling, but with certain titles and dates added from Oxford. (See related links below.)
