Stephen Langton,

CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP,

No less than four counties claim the honour of giving birth to this renowned prelate, and Kent being among them, his name is here given. As, however, there is no proof of his being a Kentish man, and as, on the contrary, the probability is that he belonged to a northern, most likely a Yorkshire family, he must be excluded from further notice here.
