Kirkepatric, ecclesiam de Driuesdale, capellam de Hotun, ecclesiam de Castelmilc, ecclesiam de Hodelma, ecclesiam de Kerkecolem. [etc. etc. as in Bull of 1179, down to] Galweia [except that Urban omits Kunigham].

The places here named include -I. In the valley of the Clyde, Wandal or Hartside (Quendale), Carnwith, Castle Tarres or Carstairs, and Carmichael (Planmichel?) near Lanark, Asseby, Hamilton (Cadihou), with the Chapel of Machan or Dalserf (Mecheyn); Glasgow itself; north and south of Glasgow, Munkland (Badermanoch) and Cadder, Kilbride and Meorns; and round it, Shettleston (Villa Filie Sedin, Mineschadin, etc.), Kincleith (Conclud), Barlannarc and Buthlornoc (Pathelanerhe, near Provan), Ballayn, Gorvals; and below it, north of the river, Newton, Parthick, Kilpatrick; south of it, Govan, Renfrew, Strathgryfe, and Largs. 2. In the valley of the Tweed, Kirkurd (Orda), Stobo, Eddleston (Penteiacob = Gillemorestun), Peebles, Traquair. 3. In the valley of the Teviot, Wilton next to Hawick, Ashkirk, Hassendean, Lillesclif, Ancrum, Hirdmanston, Roxburgh with

Fairnington, Morebattle with Whitton and Clifton. 4. In the valley of the Annan, Moffat, Kirkpatrick, Hutton, S. Mungo (Abermelc or Castlemilc), Drysdale, Hoddam (Hodelme). 5. In the valley of the Nith, Glencairn. 6. In Ayr, Colmonell (Kirkcoleman). 7. In Midlothian and not in the diocese of Glasgow, Borthwick (Lohcwhoreuerd). And 8. also the several dales and districts themselves that are enumerated. This would cover the extent of the later diocese of Glasgow, viz. the rural deaneries of Lennox (Leuenaches), Rutherglen, Kyle and Cuningham, Carrick, Lanark, Peebles, Nithsdale, Annandale, and Teviotdale, i. e. nearly the shires of Dumbarton, Renfrew, Lanark, Peebles, Selkirk, Roxburgh south of Tweed, Dumfries, Kirkcudbright east of the Urr, Ayr, and part of Stirling: but in Galloway, i. e. Wigton and part of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, divided into the rural deaneries of Desnes, Farnes, and Rhynnis, it includes by name only Desnes; which certainly was, finally, in Galloway diocese. Several of the names in the Inquisitio cannot be identified.

Ecclesie postulatione a domino predecessore nostro sancte memorie Paschale Papa in Episcopum consecratus es: quam profecto benignitatem cum humiliter recognovisse debueris, in tantam (uti accipimus) superbiam elevatus es, ut metropolitano tuo Eboracensi Archiepiscopo, nec pro nostro etiam precepto, professionem volueris exhibere. Contemtus huius pertinaciam nos diutius pati non posse pro certo cognoveris. Propter quod repetita tibi preceptione precipimus, ut Eboracensem Ecclesiam, in cuius capitulo tanquam eius suffraganeus electus es, non ut ingratus filius, recognoscas matrem tuam; et venerabili fratri nostro T. metropolitano tuo professionem exhibeas. Alioquin sententiam quam ipse in te canonica equitate protulerit, nos, auctore Deo, ratam habemus.

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 te absolvimus. Episcopos Scotiæ 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, is 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.

Cui alii a Domino preesse conceditur, nulla suis digne subesse prelatis superbia convincatur. Ideoque per presentia scripta tibi mandamus, ut ad karissimum fratrem nostrum T[urstinum]c Ebor. Archiepiscopum tanquam ad proprium metropolitanum tuum consecrandus accedas; et ab ipsius manu presente Sancti Spiritus gratia cum humilitatis devotione consecrationem accipias. Data Laterani quinto idus Decembris. [Cott. MSS. Claud. B. III., fol. 131 b; Reg. Alb. Ebor., P. I. fol. 52, and P. 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 July A.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 "); 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.
