What is "stefan"

Stefan (before 1143 – July 18, 1185) was created the first Archbishop of Uppsala in Sweden in the year 1164, a post he held until his death.

Stefan was a Cistercian monk from Alvastra monastery (of which he was one of the founders in 1143). His origin is not known, but it is believed that he was originally from England or Germany because many monks from the monastery were from those countries and because his name was rather uncommon in Sweden at that time.

In 1164 Stefan travelled to Sens in France to meet Pope Alexander III. The Pope was seeking refuge in Sens because of disputes in Rome. Present in Sens was another refugee: the Archbishop of Lund (Denmark), Eskil, who had supported the wrong king in Denmark and thus been forced into exile.

The Pope agreed to grant Sweden an Archbishop. This matter had already been discussed a decade earlier, but because of civil conflicts was never realized. A pallium had however been made in Lund for that occasion, and Eskild had brought it with him when he left Denmark. The pallium was now given to Stefan.

The Archbishop of Lund was declared primate of Uppsala, and thereby given the right to ordain the Archbishop of Uppsala. The primateship was upheld for a century until political conflicts between the two countries led to the independence of the Uppsala archbishopric, and thereafter the Archbishop would travel to Rome to be ordained by the Pope.

What is likely to be a protocol from the Sens meeting is still in existence at the Swedish Royal Library.

Stefan is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the northwestern limb. Attached to the western rim is the slightly smaller crater Wegener, and close to the eastern rim is Rynin.

As with many craters of this size on the Moon, the outer rim has been worn by impact erosion and the edge and inner wall are generally pitted with small craterlets. The southern edge of the rim in particular has been damaged by impacts, and is overlain by the satellite crater Stefan L. This bowl-shaped crater lies at the center of a small ray system, which is indicative of a relatively young impact.

The interior floor of Stefan is a generally level surface that is marked by several impacts. The most notable is a ring-shaped crater rim projecting up through the southern half of the floor. Near the midpoint is a low hill, possibly the buried remnant of a central peak.

Stefan lies at the approximate margin of the Coulomb-Sarton Basin, a 530 km wide impact crater of Pre-Nectarian age.

'''Stefan ''' was an eleventh-century Bishop of Płock, Poland.

He was from the Pobóg noble family and was bishop from 1088 till 1099 AD. Although there are no written histories written about him, his grave was found during a 16th-century reconstruction of the Cathedral by Bishop, Andrzej Noskowski.

According to Wojciech Kętrzyński it was Stefan and not Marek that was the first historical Bishop of Płock and that he held this office about 1076.
