 Sorry for being greedy:

Died in England?

If yes: Roger Bacon
If no: William of Ockham
Congratulations, Hanging Rook! William of Ockham it is!

Fun fact, it's a common misconception that "Occam's Razor" refers to a logical principle that states that the simplest explanation is usually the best. In fact, William of Ockham was involved in numerous heated theological debates and "Occam's Razor" refers to the principle that a man with a knife wins more arguments than a man without one.

Somebody else needs to ask a question.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 120

So, we are looking for an English speaker born between 1051 and 1299, known for his religiousness but not sainted and not of royal blood.
