I take it you mean Rowan WILLIAMS, guppy! From 597AD to the present, there have been 104 Archbishops of Canterbury. Source: A-Z of Almost Everything (Trevor Montague).

Rowan Keating?? No such person! (Rowan Williams is the next one.) And AFAICT there haven't been quite that many - from Augustine in 597 to George Carey in 1991, Hutchinson's Almanac (and Whitaker's Almanack) lists 104 names (Thomas Arundel was Archbishop twice), so when Dr Williams takes office in February he will be 105.

The question asked was, how many Archbishops of Canterbury (including Rowan Williams) HAVE THERE {BEEN;} not 'How many times has an Archbishop of Canterbury been elected'. One person bbeing elected twice does not make two Archbishops!

Yes, and that was why I clarified it. There are 105 entries on the full list, but only 104 names. There have been 105 *ceremonies*, which might confuse some people... like you.

Norwich - you might not have realised that 'not quite that many' refers to the first answer of 116. I was typing my reply when you posted.
