- William Laud (1573 – 1645): Archbishop of Canterbury from 1633 to 1645. One of the High Church Caroline divines, he opposed radical forms of Puritanism. This, and his support for King Charles I, resulted in his beheading in the midst of the English Civil War.
- Laudabiliter: a papal bull issued in 1155 by Adrian IV, an Englishman, giving Henry II of England the right to assume control over Ireland and apply the Gregorian Reforms to the Irish church. The Norman invasion of Ireland ensued in 1169–71 under the authority of this bull.
