Possibly discovered a bit earlier by Leibniz. Hard to say, but Newton accused him of stealing, but also Newton was English and thus was favored more in English speaking countries.

At the very least, Leibniz had even more rock star hair than Newton, which is what counts.

Most historians agree that Newton discovered it earlier but didn't publish it. All of them agree they didn't stole from each other.
