I would mention Ockham in Luther's intellectual genealogy, in fact almost as central to it as Augustine. Luther's philosophy could be described as Augustinian anthropology plus Ockhamist voluntarism equals accepting God's freely given grace as the only possible soteriology. And indeed Luther even called himself an Ockhamist and also used his nominalism to criticise Aristotelianism. (And interestingly the Ockhamists were frequently condemned by their opponents as Pelagian, for reasons which I find inscutable rn.)
