William of Littlington

William of Littlington or Ludlington (died c. 1310–1312) was an English Carmelite friar and theological writer.

He opposed the division of England and Scotland into two Carmelite provinces which had been ordered at the Council of Narbonne in 1303, and was excommunicated.

After four years' penance in Paris, he was made provincial of the Carmelite Order in the Holy Land and Cyprus in 1309.

[1] On the death of Henry de Hanna, in 1300, he succeeded him as provincial of the order; and in 1303 when Gerard of Bologna arranged the separation of the Irish and Scottish Carmelite houses into a separate province from England at the Council of Narbonne in 1303, he opposed it.

[1] He was deposed and excommunicated, and subjected to a four years' penance to 'fast and study the holy scriptures',[3] which time he spent in teaching at Paris.
