FitzRalph, Richard
FitzRalph, Richard (c.1295–1360), Abp. of Armagh from 1347. On visits to the Papal court at Avignon in 1334–6, he became involved in controversy over the Beatific Vision and in 1337–44 in controversy with the Armenians. His final visit, beginning in 1357, was concerned with his attack on the Mendicant Orders; he maintained that voluntary begging was against the teaching of Christ. In his De Pauperie Salvatoris he dealt with the question of evangelical poverty and the connection of dominion, possession and use with the state of grace; it later influenced J. Wycliffe.

Fitzralph, Richard
Fitzralph, Richard (d. 1360), frequently referred to as ‘Armachanus’, was chancellor of Oxford (1333) and archbishop of Armagh (1347). He was regarded as the official spokesman of the secular clergy against the friars, and he wrote a treatise against the friar's doctrine of obligatory poverty, De Pauperie Salvatoris, in which he discussed ‘dominion’ or ‘lordship’, taking a view on the subject similar to that later adopted by Wyclif.
