Bertram Fitzalan

Bertram Fitzalan (died 1424) was an English Carmelite theologian.

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]

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]
