Bertram Fitzalan
Bertram Fitzalan (died 1424) was an English Carmelite theologian.
Life
Fitzalan entered the Carmelite fraternity at Lincoln, and studied at Oxford, where William Quaplod, also a Carmelite, was his friend and patron.[1] He was at the trial in 1392 of Henry Crump, and was by then B.D.[2]
Fitzalan, after proceeding to the degree of master, seems to have returned to Lincoln. He died on 17 May 1424.[1]
Works
He founded a library in Lincoln. In it John Bale saw the following works of his:
- 'Super quarto Sententiarum liber i.,'
- 'Quæstiones Theologiæ,' and
- 'Ad plebem Conciones.'[1]
A volume of Excerpta in the library of Balliol College, Oxford once attributed to Fitzalan is now thought to be by Bertrand de Alen.[2]
