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: at Paris with Abelard and
at Chartres. He became secretary to Thomas a
Becket and supported him against Henry II,
and fled to France after Becket's murder,
becoming bishop of Chartres 1176.
