John Langton (died 1337) was a chancellor of England and Bishop of Chichester

Life

He was a clerk in the royal chancery, and became chancellor in 1292.Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 85] He obtained several ecclesiastical appointments, but owing to the resistance of Pope Boniface VIII he failed to secure the bishopric of Ely in 1298, although he was supported by Edward I and visited Rome to attain his end. [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=33863 British History Online Bishops of Ely] accessed on 25 October 2007] Resigning his office as chancellor in 1302, he was chosen bishop of Chichester on 5 April 1305, consecrated bishop on 19 September 1305,Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 239] and again became chancellor shortly after the accession of Edward II in 1307.Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 86] Langton was one of the ordainers elected in 1310, and it was probably his connection with this bodyFact|date=February 2008 that led to his losing the office of chancellor about this time.
