Stephen Langton is consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury by Pope Innocent III in Rome on June 11,1207. The decision sparked a major conflict with King John of England, who view Langton as too close to France and refused to accept him, preventing Langton from entering England until 1213, when he was finally installed.
Langton went on to become a key figure in the creation of the Magna Carta, playing a crucial role as a mediator between the King and his barons, helping to draft and seal Magna Carta in 1215, which limited royal power. He is also credited with making it easier to study and reference the Bible by dividing into the chapters we use today.
