Document 2/147/23 (Theiner, no. 262)
- Description
- Pope Gregory X commands the bishops of St Andrews and Dunkeld, on the petition of the dean and chapter of Brechin, to examine the election of the bishop-elect of Brechin, the see being void by the death of William, dean of Brechin, and bishop-elect, on which the dean and chapter appointed three of their number to take their votes, when Brother William Comyn, a Friar Preacher, then in the house of Friars Preachers of Perth teaching theology, was chosen. Godfrey, and Reginald, canons of Brechin, procurators for the chapter, presented the election to the pope for confirmation; but as the pope is unable to examine it, he issues this mandate, ordering them, if they find it canonically made, and if a fit person to establish it, and consecrate the bishop-elect, receiving his oath of fealty to the pope.
