And the [COUNCIL OF ROXBURGH.] latter King also confirms tithes to the see of Glasgow (ib. 13), addressing the grant, "Francis, et Anglicis, Scottis, Walensibus, Gauelensibus, et omnibus Ecclesie Sancti Kentegerni de Glasgu et eiusdem Episcopi parrochianis." Pope Alexander III. confirms the grant twice (ib. 17, 18), and that also of the tithe of the chan, adding also Largs to the list of places (ib. 24). csc.

See below, under the Scottish Church. A.D. 1125. December (?). Thurstin's claim against John Bishop of Glasgow renewed at Rome before Pope Honorius. STUBBS, Act. Pontif. Ebor.a-Quia vero Johannes Glesguensis Episcopus ibi in curia præsens erat, Thurstinus Archiepiscopus clamavit se de eo coram Apostolico, eo quod ipse Johannes in Eboracensi Ecclesia sicut suffraganeus ejus electus, et per literas suas a Papa Paschali consecratus, postea nec propter literas ejusdem Papæ Paschalis, neque Kalixti, quas ibi recitari fecit, quicquid obedientiæ vel reverentiæ ei voluit exhibere: similiter et de Episcopis Scotia conquestus est. Persuasum fuerat Papa Scotiam non esse de regno Angliæ, quia volebant pallium requirere Episcopo Sancti Andreæ et ita Archiepiscopum ibi creari. Sed Archiepiscopus Turstinus et secreto et palam in curia ostendit Scotiam de regno Angliæ esse, et Regem Scotorum ligium hominem Regis Angliæ esse. Glesguensis autem Episcopus querelæ Archiepiscopi ita respondit, se non venisse vocatum, et in legatione domini sui Regis Scotiæ ibi esse. Decretumque est diem illi statuere, et Episcopos Scotia et absentes per literas domini Papæ summonere. Statuitque Papa Turstino Archiepiscopo et Johanni diem a proxima Quadragesima in alteram, sic dicens Johanni Episcopo: Frater, in quibus bonæ memoriæ Papa Gelasius te ligavit, nos b te absolvimus. Episcopos Scotia ad diem designatum per literas vocare disposuit. [Twysd. 1719.] a The original authority for this story appears to be Hugh the Chanter (see Raine, Fasti Ebor. 197 n.). The dates are not quite certain. The Archbishops, with Alexander Bishop of Lincoln (Stubbs 1718), accompanied the legate John on his return to Rome after the London Council (Sim. Dun.) of Sept. 9, A.D. 1125 (placed by Sim. Dun. in A.D. 1126, but wrongly: see above, in vol. I. p. 318). And the Anglo-Sax. Chron. tells us, in harmony with this, that "shortly after Michaelmas," in A.D. 1125," J. the Bishop of Lothene" (i. e. evidently John of Glasgow), with "G. Abbat of S. Alban's," accompanied the above-named three prelates to Rome. The same year, 1125, given also by the Cont. Flor. Wig., by the Ann. Waverl., and by Stubbs. They returned to England the next year, 1126, William being now legate; but this is put one year later (1127) by Sim [SEE OF CANDIDA CASA.] Dun. in consequence of his original error. And the date of William of Canterbury's legatine appointment must be Jan. A.D. 1126, not Jan. A.D. 1127. The Chron. de Mailros, however, makes the date of their journey to Rome to be A.D. 1126, in accordance with what certainly seems to be Simeon's error in the matter. If the letter of Honorius about Gilla-Aldan, given below, is rightly dated on Dec. 9, it marks the probable month of the parallel Glasgow dispute in the text. But in any case the Archbishops were in Rome all the winter. b For "nos," it looks as if we ought to read "non." See Raine, ib. A.D. 1125 or 1126a. Dec. 9. Lateran.

III. fol. 57 b: and in Dugd., VI. 1187, no. 49.] Honorius was enthroned Dec. 21, A.D.1124, and John of Glasgow was in England acting with Thurstin, in JulyA.D.1127. This letter therefore is determined by that which follows it, to either A.D. 1125 or A.D. 1126. Thurstin was himself at Rome in the winter of A.D. 1125–1126 (see above, p. 23, last note a), and sent messengers there in that of A.D. 1126-1127 (see below, p. 26, first note a); in both cases, in relation to his parallel Glasgow controversy. Either A.D. 1125 therefore, or more probably A.D. 1126, must be the date of these letters. b Nothing is recorded of the see of Galloway from the alleged visit to Whithern of Kenneth II., until this appointment of Bishop Gilla-Aldan; except Boethius' assertion (IX.) that Malcolm III. re-established it, c. A.D. 1070. It possibly merged in that of Glasgow when Anglian prelates of Lindisfarne or Chester-le-Street became excluded from it. Possibly British Bishops still existed in the district (see above, p. 13). Gilla-Aldan was obviously a native, and his case so far differed from that of Carlisle. But whether David, or Fergus of Galloway, revived the see in his person, does not appear. "Thomam" in Dugdale, by mistake. It is only "T." in the Register. A.D. 1125 or 1126a. Dec. 9. Lateran.

Soulseat, which was the mother of the Premonstratensian abbeys here men tioned, must therefore have been founded earlier than the new Whitherne; which itself again must have been refounded not later than the refoundation of the see of Whitherne, i. e. probably not later than A.D. 1125.

But the only chronicler who mentions it, specifies the three consecrations of which he speaks to have happened "diversis temporibus ;" and the other two certainly did take place in A.D. 1133. Possibly Stubbs may only mean in different months. Of course it must have followed Honorius's letter, and have preceded Thurstin's death. Its most probable date would be A.D. 1126 or 1127, according to the date to be assigned to that letter, which probably it followed at no long interval. [SEE OF GLASGOW STILL NOT SUBJECT TO YORK.] A.D. 1126. Christmas. London a ̧ and Thurstin deferred a Thurstin, by agreement with King David and the Scottish Bishops, obtained this concession from the Pope by messengers, instead of going to Rome in person, as he was preparing to do, in conformity with the Pope's order given to himself and Bishop John of Glasgow in the previous winter (Twysd. 1719, 1720, and see below, under the Scottish Cause between the Scottish Bishops until yet another Lent. Church). The cause was evidently put off again, but no further record remains. John acted with Thurstin subsequently. He was at Roxburgh July 17, A.D. 1127, with Thurstin and King David and others (Lib. Vitæ Eccl. Dun. p. 67); and again at York in A.D. 1128, assisting Thurstin to consecrate Robert Bishop of S.
