'''[[Hubert Walter]]''' (''c.'' 1160 – 1205) was an influential royal adviser in the late 12th and early 13th centuries in the positions of chief [[justiciar]] of England, [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], and [[Lord Chancellor]]. As chancellor, Walter began the keeping of the [[Charter Roll]], a record of all charters issued by the chancery. Walter was not noted for his holiness in life or learning, but historians have judged him one of the most outstanding government ministers in [[History of England|English history]]. Walter served King [[Henry II of England]] in many ways, including diplomatic and judicial efforts. After an unsuccessful candidacy to the [[Archbishop of York|see of York]], Walter was elected [[Bishop of Salisbury]] shortly after the accession of King Henry's son [[Richard I of England|Richard I]] to the throne of England. Walter accompanied King Richard on the [[Third Crusade]], and was one of the principals involved in raising Richard's ransom after the king was captured in Germany on his return from the Holy Land. As a reward for his faithful service, Walter was selected to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury in 1193. Walter set up a system which was the precursor for the modern [[Justice of the Peace|justices of the peace]]. Following Richard's death in 1199, Walter helped assure the elevation of Richard's brother [[John of England|John]] to the throne. |
