In historical research, Stephen Langton is primarily known as a Parisian master of theology. This biography is dedicated to Langton's works as archbishop of Canterbury (1207-1228). His pontificate coincided with a period of political crisis in England, most notably the conflicts leading to the Magna Carta and its aftermath. This study sets out to show how Langton actively helped negotiate the Magna Carta: first, as an intercessor for the English barons and then by acting as a mediator between King John and the rebels. Furthermore, he was significantly involved in restoring the powers of kingship on the basis of the Magna Carta during the years of Henry III's minority after the civil war. Langton's politics paint the picture of an archbishop whose policies were based on principles he had laid out in his theological writings before. Apart from Langton's political role, this study also explores Langton's pastoral and administrative commitments as bishop and baron.

Stephen Langton ist der historischen Forschung in erster Linie als Pariser Magister der Theologie bekannt. Die Biographie widmet sich nun seinem Wirken als Erzbischof von Canterbury (1207-1228). Sein Pontifikat fiel in eine krisenhafte Periode der englischen Geschichte, die insbesondere vom Kampf um die Magna Carta geprägt war. Die Studie zeigt anschaulich, wie der Erzbischof Langton zunächst als Fürsprecher der englischen Barone, später als Vermittler zwischen König Johann Ohneland und den Rebellen ma geblich zur Entstehung der Magna Carta beitrug und während der Minderjährigkeit Heinrichs III. half, die Königsherrschaft nach dem Bürgerkrieg in den Grenzen der Magna Carta wiederzuerrichten. Seine Politikgestaltung war dabei geprägt von politischen Grundsätzen, die er zuvor als Theologe formuliert hatte. Neben seinem politischen Engagement nimmt die detaillierte Untersuchung auch seine pastoralen und administrativen Verpflichtungen als Bischof und Baron in den Blick.
