John Lutterell was Chancellor of Oxford University and ecclesiastical prosecutor in the papal trial of William of Ockham .
He was born at the end of the 13th century and probably died in Avignon in 1335 . Lutterell was Chancellor of Oxford University from 1317 to 1322. In the summer of 1322 he was dismissed from office by the responsible Bishop of Lincoln at the request of the university professors . As an opponent of Wilhelm von Ockham, he traveled to the papal court in Avignon in 1323, where he presented an indictment against Wilhelm in which he accused him of heresy . In the subsequent trial against Wilhelm, he represented the prosecution. Ockham's teachings were partially declared false by the court; Ockham himself was not punished.
