Saint Anselm of Canterbury, born around 1033 in Aosta, was an 11th-century Benedictine monk, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Doctor of the Church, famed for his theological brilliance, notably the ontological argument for God’s existence. Leaving home at 23 after family strife, he joined Bec Abbey in Normandy in 1059, rising to abbot in 1078. Appointed Archbishop in 1093 under William II, he clashed with kings over Church rights, enduring two exiles (1097–1100, 1103–1106), yet penned works like *Proslogion* and *Cur Deus Homo*, shaping medieval thought. He died on April 21, 1109, in Canterbury, his intellect a cornerstone of scholasticism. | Saint Anselm of Canterbury, born around 1033 in Aosta, was an 11th-century Benedictine monk, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Doctor of the Church, famed for his theological brilliance, notably the ontological argument for God’s existence.
