The following lists the people directly involved in the Magna Charta. The lists are from the book "Magna Charta Sureties, 1215". I am not completely sure of the identity of some of the people. When a person is listed who is in my database there is a link to that person's entry in my index. Later I will be adding a section showing immigrant ancestors who are their descendants.
