Archbishop of Canterbury. Family name FitzAlan. He was Archbishop of Canterbury in 1397 and again from 1397 to 1399. He vehemently opposed the Lollards which were a political and religious group who were in favor of the common people. Arundel insisted that the church publications should be in Latin, which meant that the common man could not understand them. The Catholic Church was fearful of the Lollards which lead Arundel to direct a backlash against them. He crowned King Henry IV in 1399. In 2006, he was recently voted as the 9th worst Britain of the last 1000 years.
