William de Alton
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
William de Alton (born 1307)[1] was a Dominican friar from Alton, Hampshire, who lived during the reign of Edward II.[2] He is known for writing The Universality of the Pollution of Mankind by Original Sin. This tract on original sin argues that in its polluting all of mankind[2] it must also have thereby polluted the Virgin Mary, thus contradicting the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.[3]
