Stephen Langton
Stephen Langton was a prominent English churchman and scholar who served as the Archbishop of Canterbury during the early 13th century. He is best known for his role in the drafting of the Magna Carta in 1215, a foundational document that established the principle of the rule of law and limited the powers of the monarchy. Langton's efforts to mediate between King John and rebellious barons ultimately led to the creation of this historic charter, which has had a lasting impact on democratic governance and individual rights.
