Abstract

Richard FitzRalph (ca. 1300–1360) enjoyed a long and active life. He was a prolific writer in a variety of forms. At Oxford he was a student, then master, and subsequently Chancellor of the University. FitzRalph was Dean of Lichfield and Archbishop of Armagh. He was a committed pastor, preacher, and polemicist. He took a keen interest in the reform of his diocese and in addressing the political, social, and economic realities in the Ireland of his day. He travelled widely in pursuit of various causes and was heard at the courts of kings and popes. The many contacts he made, especially at Avignon, and his many interactions with thinkers from a wide range of backgrounds gave him a cosmopolitan outlook even if his focus narrowed towards the end of his life, when the issue of the mendicant friars dominated. He was a leading Irish intellectual of his day. His Defensio curatorum was translated into Middle English by John of Trevisa and in printed form is the only work by an Irishman to survive as an incunabulum. After his death he was venerated as St Richard of Dundalk.
