Description
Boniface VIII writes to Alpin, bishop of Dunblane, noting how the church of Dunblane, immediately subject to the apostolic see, has been without a pastor since the death of William, bishop of Dunblane, and that the dean and chapter of the same church brought together the following to deliberate the election: Thomas, abbot of Inchaffray, Henry, abbot of Arbroath, and Patrick, abbot of Cambuskenneth (the said abbot of Inchaffray being precentor and the two other abbots being canons of the said church), John the dean, Walter the archdeacon, Peter the chancellor, Geoffrey the treasurer, Michael ‘de Dono Dei’ (of Dundee) and William de Gotfurd, canons of the same. The pope thus establishes the election, having been examined by H[ugh], bishop of Ostia, R, cardinal-priest of S. Susanne and G., cardinal-deacon of S. Nicolas in Carcere Tulliano. He directs M[atthew], bishop of Porto, to consecrate the bishop-elect. Concurrent letters to the chapter of Dunblane, to the clergy of the community and diocese, and to the earl of Strathearn, patron of the church of Dunblane.
