Thomas Bradwardine
Around 1290 - 1349
A mathematician, natural philosopher, and theologian who was a representative figure of the Merton School (a school of thought on the theory of motion centered around Merton College) in 14th-century England at Oxford. He was a favorite of Edward III. He was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1349, but died of the plague about a month later. As his name is mentioned in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, he was renowned as a theologian at the time, and is the author of his great work, On the Divine Cause (completed around 1344, same below). His contribution to the history of science is immortalized in On the Proportion of Speeds in Motions (1328).
