a Jocelyn's immediate successor, Hugh de Roxburgh, in A.D. 1199, died before consecration. William, who succeeded, was consecrated in France by the Archbishop of Lyons in A.D. 1200 (Chron. de Mailr., and see Letter of John ex-Archbishop of Lyons to the Bishop of Glasgow in Mabillon's Analecta, pp. 478, 479, second edition). Florence, the next, was Bishop elect five years (A.D. 12021207), but then gave up the see unconsecrated.

And Walter, who followed, was thus

the first Bishop of the see consecrated by Scottish Bishops at Glasgow itself, but by Papal licence, Nov. 2, A.D. 1208 (Innes, Pref. to Reg. Glasg., etc.). Jocelyn however acted as a Scottish Bishop throughout, and was commissioned as such by the Pope in the disputes about the see of S. Andrew's A.D. 1183-1188. He was also sent to Rome in a like capacity in A.D. 1181. See below, under the Scottish Church.
