It was never actually signed. King John put his name to the document using a wax seal.

Couldn't even write and they made him king! How non elitist and egalitarian they were back then.

It was never actually signed . How interesting . I didn't realise that but I guess the seal was deemed the eqivalent in those days .
Would have been a better story if the attempted theft had been successful and it had been recovered during a dawn raid on the Russian Embassy  |

Reynard - that was the procedure followed by all medieval monarchs but it could have been signed as quills and ink were in use.
The £2 coin actually shows King John holding Magna Carta in one hand and a large quill in the other. |
