Robert de Finingham

Robert de Finingham (died 1460) was an English monk in the Franciscan (Greyfriars) monastery at Norwich, and an author.

He was born at Finningham, Suffolk, and educated at the monastery where he later became a friar.

He is said to have been a very learned man, skilled, as Pits[clarification needed] expressed it, "in all liberal arts, excelling especially in canon law", and was the author of numerous Latin works.

The chief purpose of his writings was to defend the Franciscans against the common accusation that their profession of poverty was hypocritical.
