The English cardinal whose appointment as archbishop of Canterbury (1207-) precipitated the quarrel between King John (1199-1216) and Pope Innocent III, playing an important part in the crisis by which the barons forced the king to sign the Magna Carta in 1215.

Pope Innocent III secured Langton's appointment as archbishop of Canterbury in 1207 but King John refused to acknowledge him as archbisop for six years, even thought England was placed under an interdict.

Langton was a moderate in the battle between King John and his aggrieved barons and instrumental in the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215.

King John succeeded in having Langton suspended from his archiepiscopal office and he was only restored upon the death of Innocent III and King John.

Langton died at Slindon in Sussex on July 9th, 1228.
