John of Salisbury (c. 1115–1180)

English philosopher and historian. His Policraticus portrayed the church as the guarantee of liberty against the unjust claims of secular authority.

He studied in France 1130–1153, in Paris with Abelard and at Chartres. He became secretary to Thomas à Becket and supported him against Henry II; he fled to France after Becket's murder, and became bishop of Chartres in 1176.
