Biographical history
Langton was Archbishop of Canterbury 1207 (13) - 1228. After the pope consecrated Langton archbishop in 1207, King John refused to allow him into England. The dispute lasted until 1213 when the interdict of England and John's excommunication were lifted when the need to settle was prompted by the threat of invasion from France.
