'''Stephen Langton''' (c.&nbsp;1150 – 9 July 1228) was an English [[Cardinal (Catholic Church)|cardinal]] of the [[Catholic Church]] and [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] from 1207 until his death in 1228. The dispute between [[list of English kings|King]] [[John of England]] and [[Pope Innocent III]] over his election was a major factor in the crisis which produced the [[Magna Carta]] in 1215. Langton is also credited with having divided the [[Bible]] into the standard modern arrangement of [[Chapters and verses of the Bible|chapters]] used today.
