The seal of Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury (1207–28), is notable for containing on its reverse a depiction of the martyrdom of Thomas Becket. By featuring an impression of Becket’s martyrdom on his seal, Langton emphasised his connection with his murdered predecessor, and the desire, as expressed in Magna Carta, that the Church remain free from royal interference. 1226.
