HOVEDEN, in an. 1186.-Rex vero ibidem fecit Paulinum de Ledes eligi ad Episcopatum Carleoli; quem idem Paulinus refutavit. Et ut Paulinus Episcopatum illum recipere vellet, obtulit ei Rex quod Episcopatum illum ditaret de trecentis marcarum redditibus, videlicet de ecclesia de Bamburg, et ecclesia de Scartheburg, et capellaria de Tikehil, et duobus maneriis Regis prope Carleolum. [II. 309.]

[PRIVILEGE GRANTED TO THE SEE OF GLASGOW.]

BENED. ABBAS, in an. 1186, [states in addition, that] vacaverat sedes illa Carleonensis Ecclesiæ a decessu Adelwaldi ejusdem civitatis primi Episcopi [scil. 1156] jam fere viginti novem annis. [I. 349.]

a "G. Epus Carleol. A.D. 1174," in the Index to Rymer (old edit. I. 37), is a mistake of the Index-maker, there being nothing in the text to answer to the reference.

After Paulinus' refusal, there was no Bishop of Carlisle properly so called until A.D. 1219. The temporalties of the see were given by King John to Alexander de Lucy June 8, A.D. 1203, and the Archdeaconry of Carlisle by the same to the same Nov. 18, A.D. 1203 (Rot. Pat. Joh. pp. 30, 35). And in consequence of a letter of Pope Innocent III. May 15, A.D. 1203, the same temporalties were again granted by John to Bernard Archbishop of Ragusa (for whom see Farleti's Illyricum) January 10, A.D. 1204 (ib. p. 37; and Rymer, I. 90). "Rex concessit Archiep. Sclavoniæ Episc. Carl. ad se sustentandum donec dominus Rex ei in ampliori beneficio providerit" (Rot. Cart. p. 96). And Aimeric Thebertus has the Archdeaconry of Carlisle A.D. 1196 (Hoveden, IV. 14), and again Feb. 10, A.D. 1204 (Rot. Cart. p. 119). There is a grant to " B. Episc. Carleol." by King John March 23, A.D. 1206 (Rot. Claus. p. 68 b), and another Oct. 15, A.D. 1207 (Rot.

......

Pat. p. 76). Bernard was certainly in Eng land, but there is no proof that he visited the diocese of Carlisle. He was certainly not at Lanercost in A. D. 1169 (Dugd Mon., VI. 237). May 26, A.D. 1214, and again May 31, A.D. 1215, the custody of the see is given to the Prior of Carlisle (Rot. Pat. 138, 142). And on April 26, A.D. 1216, Henry III. informs Pope Honorius III., that Carlisle has revolted to the Scotch, and that the Canons of Carlisle, "in præjudicium juris nostri et Ecclesiæ Eboracensis, ad instanciam Regis Scotia inimici nostri, quemdam clericum suum interdictum et excommunicatum elegerunt sibi in Episcopum et pastorem;" and requests the Pope to provide to the see (Pat. 1 Hen. III. m. 3 dorso, in Prynne III. 39). Accordingly, in A.D. 1218 occurs a grant to "the elect of Carlisle " (Rot. Claus. vol. I. p. 369); and Feb. 24, A.D. 1219, Hugh, ap pointed by the legate Gualo, is consecrated by the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Waterford coming "ad partes boreales' to assist therein (Rot. Claus. 3 Hen. III. A.D. 1219, vol. I. p. 392). Thenceforth the succession is fairly regular.

APPENDIX A.

SEPULCHRAL CHRISTIAN INSCRIBED STONES, AND OTHER MONUMENTS,

IN SCOTTISH AND ENGLISH CUMBRIA, A.D. 450-900.

I. BRITISH PERIOD, A.D. 450-700.

i. (5th century.) At Kirkmadrine, west side of the Bay of Luce, co. Wigton: three stones in the old churchyard:

a. On one, beneath the monogram (P enclosed in a circle (which
is also on the other face of the stone),

HIC JACENT SCI ET PRECIPUI SACERDOTES ID EST
VIVENTIUS ET MAVORIUS.

And above the monogram, A ET Q.

B. On the second (which has a like monogram within a circle), partly obliterated,

Y.

* * * S ET FLORENTIUS.

The third has tracery, but no inscription.

The character of the letters and ornaments carries these inscriptions back to a still Romanized time, and also bears a resemblance to Gaulish monuments of the kind. They are probably of the 5th century, and belong to priests connected with S. Ninian himself, and through him with northwest Gaul. The Roman character of the names also tallies with this. See Stuart, Sculpt. Stones of Scotland, II. pp. 35, 36.

ii. (? 6th century; probably, however, later.) At Kirkinner, east side of the Bay of Luce, co. Wigton: two broken crosses, with tracery, in the churchyard; of the same peculiar character with that of the monuments of Whitherne, Kirkmaiden, and the neighbourhood. (Stuart, ib., p. 67.)

iii. iv. (? 6th century.) At Monreith House, near Kirkmaiden, east side of Bay of Luce, co. Wigton; and in the burying-ground surrounding the ruined church of Kirkmaiden: two broken crosses with interlaced work,
