'''Stephen Langton''' (died 1228) [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] (1207–28) was an English theologian who had been active predominately in [[Paris]] when chosen by his friend, pope [[Innocent III]] to be Archbishop of Canterbury after a disputed election there. This was against the wishes of [[King John]] who preferred a man of less independent character; and become a continuation of the struggle between Crown and Church for the rights of clerical investiture.
