NOTICE.

When, in 1871, the Third Volume of this work was published, a
hope was entertained that the Second, which had been delayed by
the illness of the Editor, might soon follow it. The death of
Mr. Haddan, by which the whole Church of England suffers a severe
loss, has summarily disappointed that expectation. The present
portion of the work, comprising the documentary history of three
out of the four Churches whose records were to form the second
volume, was completed by Mr. Haddan some time before his death ;
and a small part of the eighth, the Irish, division, had likewise
passed through the Press. As some considerable delay must occur
before this can be finished, it has seemed good to publish at once
the first half of the volume. It has a completeness of its own, and
although illustrating and illustrated by the portion that is to follow,
may very well be given to the world by itself. This is now done in
accordance with the expressed wishes of some of the most eminent
Scottish antiquaries. The remainder of the volume will be proceeded
with as soon as possible.

March 18, 1873.

A.D. 680. Council of Rome. Wilfrid claims to ansiver for the Catholic
faith of the Britons^ Scots^ and Picts^ as well as Angles .^ dvoelUng in
" the northern part of Britain and of HiberJtia ajid in the Islands ''^."
[See below, vol. III. p. 140, under the Anglo-Saxon Church.]

•'' The words of Wilfrid's subscription to
the Council scarcely mean that he claimed
to be Bishop of those for whose faith he
pledged himself. Yet for some years after
A.D. 670, and up to A.D. 685, the Britons of
Strathclyde and some of the Picts beyond the
Forth certainly, and on one interpretation of
an ambiguous sentence in Bede (IV. 26) the
Dalriad Scots also, were subject to the North-
umbrian King (see above, p. 3, note'=). And
Wilfrid would be certain to claim a diocese
coextensive with the Northumbrian kingdom,
even to its most recent or temporary con-
quests ; as he did, e. g., on the south of the
Humber in the case of Lindsey. The state-
ment therefore of Richard of Hexham (see be-
low under A.D. 685, note •') may have a founda-
tion of truth in it. That he really as Bishop
exercised actual authority over Britons or

Scots or Picts, is improbable; especially con-
sidering that none of the three, nor yet the
northern Irish, had adopted the Roman cus-
toms in A.D. 680. Trumwine, however, at
Abercorn, for the few years he was there,
probably had something more than the mere
name of Bishop over the Picts within his
jurisdiction. The conquest of Cuningham by
the Northumbrians in A.D. 696 implies also
that Anglian conquest had been creeping
round Galloway for some time before ; having
certainly included Carlisle before A.D. 6S5,
although no doubt checked in that year for
the moment by Ecgfrith's defeat and death.
And both northern and southern Cumbria were
still probably Briton in the bulk of their po-
pulation. So that here again Wilfrid certainly
had Britons within his diocese.

CHURCH OF CUMBRIA. [Period I.

[ENGLISH CUMBRIA SEVERED FROM GLASGOW.]

A.D. 685. English Cumhria taken from Glasgow and united (in part)
to the See of Lindisfarne *.

Sim. Dun. Hist. S. Cuthb. — Rex Ecgfridus et Theodorus Archi-

episcopus dederunt S. Cuthberto villain quae vocatur Creca •

et quia videbatur parva terra, adjecit civitatem quae vocatur

Luel [i. e. Carlisle], quse habet in circuitu quindecira milliaria, et
in eadem civitate posuit congregationem sanctimonialium, et abba-
tissam ordinavit, et scholas constituit. Postquam vero S. Cuthbertus
suscitavit puerum a mortuis in villa quae vocatur Exanforda, dedit ei
Rex Ecgfridus terrain quae vocatur Cartmel et omnes Britanni cum
ea, et villam illam quse vocatur Suth-Gedluyt'^, etc. \Tnxiysd. 69 : see
also ib. 5.]

* Ecgfrith completed what his predecessors
had been gradually doing (see above, jp. 3,
note *>). But Wilfrid in A.D. 666 X 669 would
seem to have obtained the southern part of
English Cumbria, i. e. the lands on the Ribble,
etc., for Ripon, i.e. for York (E^frf.XF//.). And
although Lindisfarne did not then exist except
as the substitute for York, viz. not until A.D.
678, yet what was afterwards Lancashire would
appear to have continued permanently as part
of the more limited diocese of York, even
after that year. For like encroachments further
north, and on Scottish Cumbria, during this
period, see p. 3, note '^. These would have been
reckoned to Lindisfarne or York, as the only
Saxon see north of Huinber during that time,
until A.D. 678 : and either to Lindisfarne, as
separate from York, from A.D. 678 [except so
far as the short-lived see of Trumwine at
Abercorn (A.D. 681-685) may have included
part of the Lothians and the northern part of
Bernicia as well as his more proper Pictish
flock ; and, further, from the Forth only so
far southward as to the Alne, the latter river
separating Lindisfarne from the newly-formed

see of Hexham {Rich. Hagtist. c. F.)] ; or
again, from the Alne to the Tees, to Hexham,
which last diocese reached west into modern
Cumberland as far as to Wetherall on the
Eden {Rich. Hagust., ib.), but (as appears
from Sim. Dun., above) no further. Hexham
see came to an end in A.D. 82I. The (pos-
sible) see of Ripon with its one (possible)
Bishop, Eadhaed, from A.D. 681, would appa-
rently have claimed, if it ever existed, some
part of the more southern British spoils.
Rich. Hagust., c. VI. (as is said above), in-
cludes the " Britones," i. e. some at least of
those of Strathclyde, in Wilfrid's original and
undivided diocese of York ; and also the
" Scots of Lindisfarne " and the " Picts "
(whom he of course supposed to have lived
in Galloway at that time) of Candida Casa.
But in the first, as certainly in the last case,
he probably wrote after the belief, and the
disputes, of his own time. See above, under
A.D. 680.

Hinde's ed. of Sim. Dun.

Hibernia^ et nonnulla etiam de Brittonibus in Brittania, rationabile

suscepit. [M. H. B. 265.]

^ The death of Adamnan, with whose clyde, who are also naturally connected with

efforts to bring lona to adopt the Roman
Easter the above statement is coimected,
brings the date to A.D. 704 (see Lappeiiherg,
Anglo-Sax., I. Pref. xxxvi. «.)• And this ex-
cludes all other Britons except those of Strath-

their neighbour Adamnan. The Britons of
Damnonia are mentioned separately by Bede
{V. iS). And Aldhelm's letter, by which these
were (partially) converted, appears to be dated
in A.D. 705. See also below, under A.D. 721.

A.D. 721. ^ Bishop of Strathclyde (?) at a Roman Council^.

CoNc. RoM. SUB Gregorio II. [subscriptt^. — Sedulius, Episcopus
Britannix de genere Scottorum, huic constitute a nobis promulgato
subscripsi. \L.abb.j VI. 1458.]

* An Irishman by name and nation might
well be Bishop of Glasgow or Strathcl3'de in
A.D. 721. And the nationality and the lo-
cality of Sedulius' companion, and therefore
probably neighbour — " Fergustus Episcopus
ScotisE Pictus " — certainly suggest Strathclyde
as the " Britannia " which was his see. His
presence at Rome also proves the schism ended,

as regards the "Britannia" which he repre-
sented. And he was therefore neither Cornish
nor Welsh, i. e. he was Cumbrian or of Strath-
clyde. There is no reliable evidence of dio-
ceseless Bishops among the Britons : see above,
in vol. I. p. 143 : although iu A.D. 721, Fer-
gustus, a Pictish Bishop among the Scots,
probably was in that condition.

A.D. 730-803. Anglian See of Whit heme or Candida Casa^.

Bjed. H. E.y V. 23. — Pecthelm in ea [Ecclesia], quas Candida Casa
vocatur, [praesulatum tenet] ^ quae nuper, multiplicatis fidelium ple-
bibus, in sedem pontificatus addita, ipsum primum habet antistitem.
\M. H. B. 284.]

a Bede writes this in A.D. 731 ; but the
.<:onquest of Cuningham in A.D. 696, and the
probabilities of the case, show that Northum-
brians had penetrated along the western side
of Strathclyde some forty years before. They
had now become numerous enough to require
a separate Bishop ; having no doubt belonged
to Lindisfarne previously, and perhaps to Wil-
frid when at York (see above, p. 5, note").
But Wilfrid's Picts were of course those of
whom Trumwine had charge, not any ima-
ginary Picts of Galloway at this period. That
Trumwine's see was Abercorn and not Can-
dida Casa, and that he ruled over Picts north
of the Forth, and not over Galloway, is plain
by Bede, in spite of the list at the end of
some MSS. of Flor. Wig. There is a tra-
dition in Rich. Hagusl., c. XV., that Acca
Bishop of Hexhain, upon quitting that see in

A.D. 732-733, " Episcopalem sedem in Can-
dida Casa inceperit et prseparaverit." Pecthelm
(see S. Bom/. Epist. 39, Wiirdtw., below in
vol. III. p. 310) died A.D. 735, and was suc-
ceeded in the same year by Frithwald (Flor.
Wig.) ; and Acca's successor at Hexham was
consecrated in A.D. 734, although he himself
survived until A.D. 740: so that the story
must remain unexplained, if it is to be ac-
cepted at all. The Anglian succession at
Candida Casa lasted until Badulf or Baldwulf
or Bealdwlf, the last Bishop (IF. Malm. G. P.
A., III.), who certainly lived until A.D. S03
{Sim.Djtn.). Heathored, who follows him in the
so-called Florence's list, is obviously a confusion
with a Bishop of Lindisfarne in A.D. 821, of
the same name, who is omitted by that list in
his right place. How far attempts were made
to perpetuate the succession after Badulf doas

8 CHURCH OF CUMBRIA. [Period I.

not appear. Very possibly Heathored of Lin- j^lfric, i^scbert, Eadwald, Sexhelm (K., C. D),
disfarne may have tried to join or rejoin the with any then still existing Anglian see of
see to his own. Eardulf of Lindisfarne took Candida Casa. That see of course was
refuge at Candida Casa when wandering with enlarged or diminished according to the
S. Cuthbert's relics in A.D. 875-883. But progress of Northumbrian conquest ; and
Northmen ravages and Pictish immigration, at its largest must have included far more
and possibly British reconquest, must have than the revived see of the 1 2th century,
ended any Anglian Episcopate there, and prob- The latter was coextensive probably with the
ably any Episcopate at all. That recourse lordship of Galloway, and certainly with Kirk-
was had between Badulf and Gilla-Aldan to cudbright( = Church of S. Cuthbert) west of
Norwegian Bishops or Bishops of Man or of the river Urr, and Wigtonshire. The former
the Isles, is only conjecture, although not im- included also Ayrshire (see above, p. 4, note ■*)
probable. There is nothing to identify cer- and most probably Dumfriesshire (so it would
tain suffragans of York, named without their seem by the crosses mentioned in the same
sees in A.D. 929-934, and belonging to no note, and by the probabilities of the case),

[consecration of the bishop of GLASGOW BY THE POPE.]

[Period II.

A.D. 1 1 17 (probably). Consecration of John to the See of Glasgow by
Tope Paschal II. ^

=" See the Inqumtio Davidis, below ; by
which it appears that John was consecrated
by Paschal, and therefore before January A.D.

11 18. John died in A.D. 1147, ^^'^ ('^
Fordun can be trusted) in the 28th year of
his Episcopate : which (if it were exact) would
bring his consecration down to A.D. II 19. He
was also consecrated with Archbishop Thurs-
tin's consent (see below, under A.D. 1 1 25),
who was elected to York August 25, A.D.
II 14 {Hoveden, I. 169), although not con-
secrated to that see until October, A.D.

1119. And Stubbs, who is the authority for
the statement about Thurstin, here quotes
from the contemporary authority of Hugh
the Chanter. Further, Turgot of S. Andrew's
died in August, A.D. II 15. And it seems
probable, that this see also was vacant when
John was sent to the Pope for consecration.
AU this would seem to place John's con-
secration in (probably) A.D. 1117, which is
the latest possible year for it. The Inquisitio
Davidis (Earl of Cumbria A.D. II07-II24)
must have been taken sufficiently long after
John's election to allow of his journey to
Rome, his attempted journey to Jerusalem,
his return to Glasgow, and his being fairly at
work in that diocese. And inasmuch as it

evidently speaks of him as still at work there,
it must have preceded by some little time
John's first flight, and Calixtus' first efforts to
force him to return to Glasgow. This limits
the date of the Inquisitio to A.D. Iii8x
II 22; and makes the most likely date for
it to be A.D. 1120 or 11 21. The record of
that Inquisitio appears from its terms to have
been drawn up some time later than the
enquiry itself ; possibly when Glasgow ca-
thedral was consecrated, and its Register
formally commenced. These dates leave
room for Michael (see above, p. 13) : and
allow John to have been at work two or
three years in Glasgow as Bishop prior to the
Inquisitio being made. Whether Michael died
before David nominated John, or whether he
was simply put on one side, there is no evi-
dence to show. But the former was probably
the case, inasmuch as the York Archbishops
never alleged as an objection to John, that the
see was full already. There are proofs of a
double line of Bishops, a native line and a
York line simultaneously, in the other similar
cases, viz. in the Orkneys and at Candida
Casa, at a later period. But those who re-
cognized the one of these, did not also recog-
nize the other.

Stubbs, Act. Rontif. Ebor. a — Quia vero Johannes Glesguensis Episco-
pus ibi in curia prsesens erat, Tliurstinus Archiepiscopus clamavit se
de eo coram Apostolico, eo quod ipse Johannes in Eboracensi Eccle-

consecratus, postea nee propter literas ejusdem Papse Paschahs, neque
Kalixti, quas ibi recitari fecit, quicquid obedienti^ vel reverentiae
ei voluit exhibere : similiter et de Episcopis Scotise conquestus est.
Persuasum fuerat Papse Scotiam non esse de regno Anglise, quia
volebant pallium requirere Episcopo Sancti Andrese et ita Archiepi-
scopum ibi creari. Sed Archiepiscopus Turstinus et secreto et palam
in curia ostendit Scotiam de regno Angliae esse, et Regem Scotorum
ligium hominem Regis Angliae esse. Glesguensis autem Episcopus
querelas Archiepiscopi ita respondit, se non venisse vocatum, et in
legatione domini sui Regis Scotise ibi esse. Decretumque est diem
illi statuere, et Episcopos Scotise et absentes per literas domini Papas
summonere. Statuitque Papa Turstino Archiepiscopo et Johanni
diem a proxima Quadragesima in alteram, sic dicens Johanni Epi-
scopo: Frater, in quibus bonis memoriae Papa Gelasius te ligavit,
nos ^ te absolvimus. Episcopos Scotias ad diem designatum per

the date of William of Canterbury's legatine

Jan. A.D. II27. The Chron. de Mailros,
however, makes the date of their journey to
Rome to be A.D. 1 1 26, 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.

* Honorius was enthroned Dec. 2 1 , A.D. 1 1 24,
andjohn of Glasgowwas inEngland acting with
Thurstin,mJulyA.D.ii2 7. This letter therefore
is determined by that which follows it, to either
A.D. 1 125 or A.D. 11 26. Thurstin was him-
self at Rome in the winter of A.D. II25-II26
(see above, p. 23, last note *), and sent mes-
sengers there in that of A.D. 1 1 26-1127' (-^^
below, p. 26, first note ''■) ; in both cases, in rela-
tion to his parallel Glasgow controversy. Either
AD. 1 1 25 therefore, or more probably A.D.
1 1 26, must be the date of these letters.

^' Nothing is recorded of the see of Gallo-
way 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 Glas-
gow when Anglian prelates of Lindisfarne
or Chester-le-Street l>ecame 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.

a " G. Epus Carleol. A.D. 1 174," in the
Index to Ryiner (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 Car-
lisle by the same to the same Nov. 18, A.D.
1203 {Rot. Pat. Job. pp. 30, 35). And in
consequence of a letter of Pope Innocent III.
May 1;, A.D. 1203, the same temporalties
were again granted by John to Bernard Arch-
bishop of Ragusa (for whom see Farleti's
Illyricum) January 10, A.D. 1204 {ib. p. 37;
and Rymer, I. 90). " Rex concessit Archiep.
Sclavoniae Episc. Carl, ad se sustentandum
donee dominus Rex ei in ampliori beneficio
providerit" {Rot. Cart. p. 96). And Aimeric
Thebertus has the Archdeaconry of Carlisle
A.D. 1 1 96 {Hovedeii, 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. Clans, 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. 1 169 {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, 1J2). 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 praejudicium juris
nostri et Ecclesiae Eboracensis, ad instanciam
Regis Scotiae inimici nostri, quemdam cleri-
cum suum interdictum et excommunicatum
elegerunt sibi in Episcopum et pastorem ;"
and requests the Pope to provide to the see
{Pat. I Hen. III. m. 3 dorso, in Prynne III,
39). Accordingly, in A.D. 1 218 occurs a grant
to " the elect of Carlisle " {Rot. Clans, vol. I.
p. 369); and Feb. 24, A.D. 1 2 19, Hugh, ap-
pointed by the legate Gualo, is consecrated by
the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Water-
ford coming " ad partes boreales " to assist
therein {Rot. Clavs. 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 Ktrkmadrine, west side of the Bay of Luce, co.
Wigton : three stones in the old churchyard : —

a. On one, beneath the monogram (v 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.

/3. On the second (which has a like monogram within a circle),
partly obliterated,

* * * S ET FLORENTIUS.
y. 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 north-
west Gaul. The Roman character of the names also tallies with this. See
Stuart, Sculpt. Stones of Scotlatid, II. pp. 35, 36.

ii. (^ 6th century ; probably, however, later.) At Kirktnner, 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 Kirkmaide7i : two broken crosses with interlaced work,

E %

53 APPENDIX A.

[christian inscribed or other stones in SCOTTISH AND BRITISH CUMBRIA.]

and crosses formed by circular holes, of like character with the foregoing.
{Siuari, ib., pp. 50, 51, 67.)

V. vi. {? 6th century.) At Whitherne, two similar fragments. {Stuart, ib.,
pp. 51, 68.)

vii. (.? 6th century.) At Wi'gton, in the churchyard, a like fragment. {Stuart,
ib., I. plate cxxii.)

viii. (? 6th century.) At Kirkmaiden, among the rocks of the sea-coast of
the Bay of Luce, an oratory or stone chapel of S. Medan (an Irish virgin
and disciple of S. Ninian) in a cave, like those in Cornwall and like one
in Brittany. {Stuart, ib., II. p. 50, n.)

ix. At Kirkdaugh, near Anwoth, co. Kirkcudbright, a sculptured cross.
{Stuart, ib., I. plate cxxiii.)

X. (? 7 th century.) At Inchinnan, on the Clyde, seven miles below
Glasgow, CO. Renfrew : slabs, in the churchyard, with crosses, animals, and
interlaced work; of Hiberno-Briton character. {Stuart, ib., II. p. 38.)

xi-xxi. (.? 7th century.) At Govan, 'on the Clyde, immediately below
Glasgow : a stone with tracery, a sarcophagus, and nine sepulchral slabs,
found in the old churchyard, where are also many others: covered with
either interlaced work, or crosses, or representations of animals : of a like
character with the foregoing. {Stuart, ib., I. plates ci, cxxxiv-cxxxvii.)

xxii. (? 7th century.) At Hamilton, on the Clyde, a cross near Igoth with
Hamilton Palace, much defaced. {Stuart, ib., plate cxviii.) / interlaced

xxiii. At Barrochan, parish of Kilallan (now in Houston), ( work and
CO. Renfrew, a cross. {Stuart, ib., plates cxv, cxvi.) J figures.

xxiv. xxv. At Stanlie Greefi, near Paisley, co. Renfrew, and at Mount-
blow House, Kilpatrick, co. Dunbarton, slabs with like work. {Stuart, ib.,
plates cxvii, cxx.)

It will be observed, that these remains cluster round two centres, Whitherne
(and westwards of Whitherne), Glasgow (and on the Clyde above and below
Glasgow).

II. Saxon Period, A.D. 700-800.

i. At Ruthwell, on the Solway Firth, near Dumfries and the mouth of
the Nith: an elaborate cross, in two parts, the lower 12 feet 6 inches,
the whole 17 feet 6 inches, in height. On its two faces, tapering from
2 feet to 15 inches in breadth, are carved panels containing figures or
groups of figures, some of them nimbed, with inscriptions in Roman letters

APPENDIX A. 53

[christian inscribed or other stones in SCOTTISH AND BRITISH CUMBRIA.]

surrounding them: viz., on one side at the top, i. a human figure with a
bird, with VERBUM IN PRIN« (supposed to mean Verhwn in prindpio),
now however effaced, and some nearly effaced Runes round it ; 2. an archer
with bow and arrow ; 3. two figures embracing, with a nearly illegible
inscription, of which . . TOPSEN . . is all that can be read on one side,
and on the other . . INCOBD . . ; 4. the woman that was a sinner, washing
our Lord's feet, with ATTVLIT ALABASTRVM VNGVENTI ET
STANS RETROSECUS PEDES EIVS LACRIMIS COEPIT RIGARE
PEDES EIVS ET CAPILLIS CAPITI SVI TERGEGBAT (partly,
however, defaced); 5. two figures, supposed to be our Lord heaUng the
blind man, with ET PRAETERIENS VIDIT * * * A NATIBITATE
ET S * * B INFIRMITA * ; 6. the Annunciation (probably), with
INSRESSVS ANGELVS * * * TE * IRN * * (remainder effaced).
On the opposite side, i. at the top, a bird perched upon a branch, with
undecipherable Runes surrounding it; 2. two human figures; 3. a figure
standing on two globes and holding a lamb in its arms, the inscription
undecipherable, except the word [A]DORAMVS; 4. a nimbed figure,
probably of our Lord, with one hand raised as if to bless, and round the
panel, IHS XPS IVDEX AEQVITATIS SERTO SALVATOREM
MVNDI BESTIAL ET DRACONES COGNOVERVNT IN DE * * ;
5. two figures, supposed to be SS. Peter and Paul breaking a loaf of bread
between them, from an anecdote in S. Jerome's Life of S. Antony, and
round them, SCS PAVLVS ET A * * * FREGERVNT PANEM IN
DESERTO ; 6. the Blessed Virgin holding the Child Jesus in her arms
and riding on an ass, with what is supposed to have been the head of Joseph
in the corner — inscription defaced, except MARIA ET 10 * *. But the most
remarkable part of the cross are its edges — tapering from about 15 inches
in width to ii^ — upon which are interlaced patterns and figures between
borders, and upon these a series of Runes, deciphered by Mr. Kemble, so
far as they were not defaced, into passages from an Anglo-Saxon poem,
which poem (filling up all the lacunae and tallying with the deciphered
passages) was subsequently discovered in a Vercelli MS., and is conjecturally
dated in the 7th century, about the time of Csedmon ; its subject being the
"Dream of the Holy Rood." No name is on the monument; unless that
Professor Stephens now reads some of the Runes into "Cadmon me fawed"
= "Csedmon made me." {Stuart, Sculpt. Stojies, II. pp. 12-16. See also
G. Stephens, Old Northern Runic Monuments of Scandinavia and England,
II. 419-422.)

ii. At Thornhill, in Nithsdale, co. Dumfries : a cross with interlaced work
and animals, which possibly may belong to the earlier period. {Stuart, ib., I.
plate cxxi.)

54 APPENDIX A.

[christian inscribed or other stones in SCOTTISH AND BRITISH CUMBRIA.]

iii. At Durisdeer, in Nithsdale, co. Dumfries : a fragment of a cross,
of the like character in its ornament with the Bewcastle and other English
crosses. {Stuart, ib., II. p. 73.)

iv. At Hoddam, in Annandale, co. Dumfries, one also of S. Kente-
gern's temporary sees : fragments and crosses with interlaced ornaments
and nimbed figures under canopies, but no inscriptions. {Stuart, ib.,
PP- 33» 34)

V. At Whitherne^, two fragments of crosses supposed to be of Saxon date ;
on one of them, LOCI T I PETRI APVSTOLI, and above it the mono-
gram added to the upper limb on the right hand of the (inscribed) cross.
{Stuart, ib., p. 53, and plate Ixxvii.)

vi. At Bewcastle, co. Cumberland : an elaborate cross, with ornament-
ation of running foliage with birds and animals, like that at Ruthwell,
also with figures, and several inscriptions in Runic letters ; the meaning of
which is much disputed, but one of them is supposed to mention the death
of King Alcfrid of Northumbria, A.D. 664. See a short account of the
principal pamphlets and interpretations in Stuart, ib., pp. 16-18.

vii. At Jedburgh, co. Roxburgh : a slab with ornamentation of Saxon
date. Other fragments of crosses of like date exist there also. {Stuart,
ib., pp. 66, 67 c.)

These monuments belong to the localities that were most entirely
Saxonized, and connect themselves with like monuments in Lindisfarne or
Hexham dioceses, as at Jarrow, at Hexham itself, etc. etc.

* This might be ERIN, so far as appears letters in honour of S. Martin. {Stuart, ib.,

by the stone itself. p. 68.)

*> Sir J. Y. Simpson suggested that the first « According to Fordun, //. 96, a magnifi-

letters of the inscription should be read, LOG cent cross was dug up at Peebles A.D. 1260,

STI, &c. A bell existed also at Whitherne in which bore the inscription of " Locus [or

the 17th century, with an inscription in Saxon Loculus] Sancti Nicholai Episcopi."

III. Northman and Irish Period, A.D. 800-900.

i. At Dcarham, co. Cumberland: a cross with figures and interlaced
work, resembling that on Manx crosses. {Stuart, ib., p. 18.)

ii. At Gos/orth, near Wastdale, co. Cumberland: an elaborate cross,
of the same character with that at Dearham; also some fragments of
crosses, like the Northumbrian examples. {Stuart, ib., plates 24, 25, 28.)

iii. At Kirkcolm, co. Wigton, on the west coast of Loch Ryan, in the
midst of churches with Irish dedications : a stone having the Crucifixion
and several symbols of the Passion on one side, and on the other a short

APPENDIX A. c^^

[christian inscribed or other stones in SCOTTISH AND BRITISH CUMBRIA.]

cross filled with scroll ornaments ; all very inferior in execution. (Sliiart,
lb., p. 34.)

iv. There are some fragments of crosses also, of uncertain date, at Friars
Carse, parish of Dunscore, and at Gleticairn, both co. Dumfries; and at
Mansfield, co. Ayr. {Stuart, ib., p. 67.)

Crosses with interlaced work are also mentioned, as —
V. At Muncaster, close to Ravenglass, ^
vi. At Beckermet St. Brigits, . . .

vii. At Rockcliffe,

viii. At Lanercost, J

. CO. Cumberland. {Lysons, Cum-
r berl. p. cii.)

Other monumental stones are recorded also as having been destroyed at
comparatively recent dates : as e. g. at Rutherglen, on the Clyde, a cross
ornamented with various figures, on the top of Crieshill, destroyed in the
time of Charles I. And throughout (English) Cumberland, generally, there
is scarcely a church, in or near which some portions of ancient crosses may
not be seen, not mentioned by Stuart or Lysons ; the former of whom only
professes to give specimens of Saxon work in Northumbria, &c., by way of
contrast with the Scottish and Pictish stones.

profession in 1282 to William Wickwaine^ {Reg.Joh. Rom., 99 ; and m Lansd.

granted by the Archbishop for contributing to the rebuilding of the church of
Candida Casa, burnt with fire {Reg. Joh. Rom. in Hutton, Harl. 6970). A.D.
1287 (2nd year of Joh. Rom.), a letter of the Archbishop to Bishop Henry
excuses him from the annual visit to York promised in his profession, on
account of his old age, but promises that if he does come " versus partes
nostras," he shall have some churches to consecrate, " quod in emolumentum
aliquid vobis cedet " {Reg. Joh. Rom., ib.) : and accordingly, same year,
Aug. 17, Henry Bishop of Candida Casa has a commission to consecrate
the churches of Oswaldskirk and Edstone {id.). And A.D. 1287, Archbishop
Romanus writes to Mr. G. de Vezano, desiring him to grant more time to

bishop to perform all duties which require the imposition of episcopal
hands in the province of York, "ipso Archiepiscopo in remotis agente"
{Reg. Joh. Rotn.) ; Romanus having gone to Rome about his dispute with
Bishop Bek of Durham. A.D. 1292. June 5, Norham, he is chosen as one

A.D. 1294. Jan. 13, John (Baliol) King of Scotland, to John Archbishop
of York, desiring him not to consecrate Thomas de Kircudbright, chaplain to
Robert Bruce, elected Bishop of Candida Casa by John Prior of Whitherne
and the canons, because he had been elected, "non per inspiracionem vel viam

York against the time of our Council," granted to Thomas Bishop of Candida
Casa by the Archbishop of York {Reg. Grenefeld). May 20, he is present as

churches by Edward II. include some addressed, " Episcopo Candidse Casse"
{Rym., II. 481), but with a blank for the name, leaving it uncertain whether
Thomas was still living : probably however Thomas was the Bishop intended,
inasmuch as his successor Simon, although apparently elected (in some
fashion or other, not recognized by the see of York) before A.D. 1321, was
not consecrated until A.D, 1327, and the presentations seem to imply that
the see was still filled in A.D. 131 9.

See vacant, A.D. I3i9(?)-i326.

A.D. ] 32 1. July 6, " Oct. of SS. Peter and Paul," Wedale, Simon " Divina
miseratione Candidse Casse humilis minister," permits Melrose Abbey to
rebuild S. Cuthbert's chapel (old Melrose), which had been destroyed by the
English {Lib. de Melros, II. 390). But the authenticity of the date is
doubtful. A.D. 1322. Nov. 24, 17th Robert Bruce, a charter of that King
implies the see of Whitherne to be then vacant {Harl. MSS. 4628). A.D.

is present in a Scottish Parliament at Edinburgh {Rym., II. 877), being
called in Rymer " Henricus," but by an evident mistake ; inasmuch as, A.D.
1335, Nov. 1, Dodynton, Edward III. grants protection to " Simon" Bishop
of Candida Casa for one year {Rot. Scot. p. 385 b) : and A.D. 1344,

MSS. Harl. 167 1, p. 164).

Michael, A.D. 1 354-1 359-
A.D. 1355. June 26, Michael de Malconhalgh, Prior of Candida Casa,
elected Bishop of the see, is confirmed {Reg. Dec. et Capit. Ebor., ib.^) :
according to Hutton, from York Reg., he was Bishop in A.D. 1354, in
which year he was probably elected. A.D. 1355. July 12, " Reverendissimus
pater dominus Willelmus [Edendon] Wintoniensis Episcopus, ascitis et
assistentibus sibi venerabilibus patribus domino Cesario Ecclesiae Beatse

Michael, Bishop of Candida Casa, is one among the Scottish Bishops
appointed to enforce by spiritual penalties the treaty for the redemption of
King David Bruce {Rym., III. 375, 378): and A.D. 1358, Jan 17, Mort-
lake, Edward III. grants the same Michael, " suffragan of York," a safe-
conduct to come to England to the Archbishop of York on business relating
to his diocese {ib. 387).

=> Thoresby Archbishop of York was trans- viz. in A.D. 1356 (Raine). This may pos-
lated to that see Oct. 22, A.D. 1352, and en- sibly account for this entry and that of Bishop
throned there Sept. 8, A.D. 1353. But it Simon's death occurring in the Decanal Re-

he has caused him to be consecrated (at Avignon) by Peter Bishop of Ostia ;

Candida Casa, to the Archbishop of York, and to King David II. {Theiner,

Bishop and Chapter of Glasgow {JReg. Giasg. p. 271).

Adam, A.D. i363-(after) 1369.
A.D. 1363. Feb. 20, Westminster, Edward III. grants a safe-conduct to
" Adam de Lanark, Episcopus de Gahvay in Scotia," now " in partibus
transmarinis," to pass through England to Scotland, to last one year [J^oi.
Scot., I. 881 a) : which looks as if Adam also had been consecrated abroad
by the Pope. A.D. 1365. Jan. 13, and July 14, "Adam Episcopus Candidse
Casse" present in Scottish Parliaments {Acts 0/ Pari. o/Scoll.,I. 137, 138):
and A.D. 1369, Sept. 30, Scone, witnesses a charter of 38th David 11. {Reg.
M. Sig. p. 57), which is witnessed also by another "Adam de Lanark, clericus,"
The Bishop of Candida Casa was also present at a Scottish Parliament
A.D. 1369, March 8 {Ads of Pari, of Scott., I. 148), but no name is givena.

* Keith calls him " Andrew," from a deed up to Sept. 30, A.D. 1369 ; and Andrew is pro-
of 39th Edward II., i.e. Nov. 1369-Nov. bably a mistake for Adam.
1370, but " Adam " was certainly still Bishop

David Douglas, A.D. (after) 1369-1373.

A.D. 1373. March 25, David Douglas Bishop of Candida Casa died
{Hafs Diplom. [MS.] ///. 579).

James Carron, A.D. 1373.
A.D. 1373. James Carron was Bishop for a few months, but resigned, his
resignation being " confirmed" by Pope Gregory XL " in the 3rd year of his
pontificate" (Jan. 5, 1373-Jan. 5, 1374)— (Zr<7y, ib).

Francis Ramsay, A.D. 1373-1402.
A.D. 1373, Francis Ramsay, a Mathurine of Brechin from A.D. 1362,
elected Bishop of Candida Casa in succession to James Carron in A.D.
1373, but whether consecrated by the Pope (who certainly was applied to
for the confirmation of his predecessor's resignation) is doubtful : died
Oct. I, A.D. 14C2, having administered the diocese 29 years {Hay, ib.: see
at the end of this Appendix).

But Oswald, a York Bishop, A.D. i379-(after) 1406.
Contemporaneously however with Ramsay's episcopate [and upon occa-
sion possibly of the schism between Pope Urban VL (elected April 9, A.D.
1378) and the Antipope Clement VIL (elected Sept. 21, 1378), the latter of
whom was acknowledged by Scotland, the former by England], A.D. 1379,
March 26, one Oswald, "Episcopus Candida Casse in Scotia, ut asserit," has
a safe-conduct from Richard IL King of England to pass into Scotland in
connection with Church business entrusted to him by Urban VL {Rot. Scot.^

//. 14). And the same Oswald, A.D. 1388, May 5, has a protection as
" Bishop of Galway " from King Richard, he having fled into England
"pro salvatione vitas suae" (td. 98). And thenceforth we find him in York
only: viz. A.D. 1389, Dec. 13, Oswald Bishop of Candida Casa ordains for
the Archbishop of York " in capella B. Marise et SS. Angelorum " (J^eg.
Arundel, Hution MSS. Harl. 6969) : A.D. 1392. Nov. 11 (Fest. S. Martini),
he grants indulgence of 40 days to all who pray at S. Andrew's church,
Newcastle, but as "anno nostrae consecrationis 12" {Brand, Hist, of Nav-
caslle, I. 179), which does not tally with his being consecrated (as he almost
certainly was) by the Pope abroad before March, A.D. 1379: A.D. 1397,
April 6 {Reg. Waldby, Hutton, ib.), and again A.D. 1398, Jan. 9 {York
Reg. Galba E. 10), he has a commission to act as suffragan in York
diocese ; in the former case, " in absentia Archiepiscopi, ad dedicand.," etc. :
and A.D. 1398, March 2, he ordains in S. Martin's church, York; April 6,
in the Carmelites' church, York; June i, in S. Michael's le Belfry, York
{Galba E. 10): and A.D. 1406, April 3, " deputatur suffraganeus Dunel-
mensi sede vacante " {Reg. Scrope, in Hutton MSS., Bishop Skirlaw of
Durham being just dead).

Meanwhile the Scottish succession was obviously kept up without regard
to Oswald, whom the Scottish Church must have regarded as an intruder
thrust into the see by the Pope whom they did not recognise. For we find
a Bishop —

Elis^us, A.D. 1 405-141 4 or 1415.

A.D. 1405. Elisaeus was consecrated to the see of Candida Casa, inas-
much as he calls A.D. 14 12 "the seventh year" of his consecration (in a
charter quoted by Keith from Reg. Chart., A.D. 141 3); and probably there-
fore he was succeeded immediately by —

Thomas, A.D. 1414 or 1415-1420 x 1426.

Who, A.D. 1 4 16, March 17, Perth, 22nd year of (the Antipope) Benedict

For A.D. 1451, July 5, Thomas Spens, Bishop of " Candida Casa" (or
again " of Whithern," and "vulgariter de Galway nuncupatus"), has letters of
safe-conduct from Henry VI. of England to go to Newcastle and Durham
{Rym., XI. 286), and July 27 is appointed ambassador to England by
James II. of Scotland [ib. 287), and Aug. 13 and 14 acts in that capacity
{ib. 288, 293), and Oct. 9 has a safe-conduct to come to England {ib. 303) ;
and also in A.D. 1451 grants a charter {Reg. Chart, and Reg. Episc. Morav.

James II. to Melrose {Lib. de Mailros, I. 589 — an indulgence granted to
S. Cuthbert's Melrose by a Bishop of C. C. unnamed, in some unnamed year
of James II. [ib. 570], may also be his) ; and is also still Bishop A.D. 1454,
Oct. 22, and in 1458 {Reg. Chart, in Keith); but between Aug. 24, A.D.
1458 (when the see of Aberdeen became vacant), and April, A.D. 1459, is
postulated to Aberdeen.

A.D. 1472, Aug. 17=', a Bull of Pope Sixtus IV. erects St. Andrew's into
a metropolitan see, and archiepiscopate, having all the Scottish Bishoprics,
including Galloway, as its suffragans : the Archbishop of York of the time
renewing his claim to the subjection of all the Scottish Bishops, but
fruitlessly {Buchanan, lib. XII., 0pp., I. 226).

From the above it is evident, that Michael (ob. A.D. 1359) was the last
Bishop of Whitherne whose profession to the see of York is on record :
that Thomas his successor (ob. A.D. 1362) was consecrated by the Pope,
who however thought it fitting to write to the Archbishop of York on the

occasion: that Adam, who came next (ob. A.D. 1369x1373), was also
probably consecrated by the Pope, but that both he and all his successors
(with one exception) were obviously Scottish altogether and had nothing at all
to do with York ; although in A.D. 1379, there being a Pope and an Antipope,
the former intruded Bishop Oswald into the see, already filled by a Bishop
in communion with the latter ; and Oswald, so intruded, being obliged in
A.D. 1388 to fly for his life to England, acted thenceforth as a suffragan of
York, the Scottish line being kept up in entire disregard of his existence :
lastly, that a final protest or complaint was made in vain in A.D. 1472 by
the see of York, but with reference to a// the Scottish Bishoprics, and not to
Galloway in particular.

BISHOP OF GLASGOW IN SUBJECTION TO YORK, A.D. 1318-1323.

A.D. isl^l, Feb. i, Archbishop Melton of York writes to B. Cardinal
deacon of S. Mary in Aquiro, on behalf of John Bishop of Glasgow, who
on account of the war dares not visit his diocese, and is for that reason in
great poverty ; and the same John of Glasgow, called once John de Eccles-
clif, and once Friar John de Ecclesfeld, is on four occasions employed by
Archbishop Melton as a suffragan {Histor. Papers, &c. from Northern
Registers, 299, 300). John Bishop of Glasgow, who must have been the
York Bishop, assisted also at the consecration of Roger of Lichfield at
Hales Abbey, June 27, A.D. 1322. And a grant, which must be his,
to Holyrood Abbey, March i, 1322, is among the Holyrood Charters,
pp. 186-188. " Frater Johannes de Eglesclif de ordine Predicatorum,
consecratus in curia Romana, venit ad dyocesim suam Landav. octavis
Sancte Trinitatis [May 29] anno Domini 1323, et obiit apud Lancad-
waladwr, viz. ii" die mensis Januarii anno Domini [1344, miswritten 1306],
et sepultus est in ecclesia Fratrum Predicatorum de Kerdyf" (MS. additions
to the Owston MS. of the Lib. Landavensis). John of EgglescHife is stated
to have been Bishop of Bethlehem in pariibus, in the first instance {Gallia
Christ., XII. 690 ; Hibern. Dominicana, c. 13) : but he was really consecrated
to Glasgow in the place of Robert Wiseheart deceased, by Nicolas Bishop
of Ostia, at Avignon; see the Bull dated XVI. kal. Aug. A.D. 1318
{Theiner, 202). As Bishop of Glasgow he has letters from Edward II. dated
July 19, A.D. 1319 {Rymer, III. 401). Robert Bruce objected to him as an
Englishman, and was answered by the Pope, Aug. 18, A.D. 1320 (Rymer,
III. 432); and in A.D. 1323, Mar. 15, he was translated to Connor (Theiner,
226), and June 20, to Llandaff" {Reg. Reynolds). The Llandaff scribe,
apparently, knew nothing of John of Egglescliflfe's previous Glasgow and
Irish Episcopates.

John Lindsey was appointed Bishop of Glasgow in his place, Mar. 15,
A.D. 1323 {Theiner, 226).

» Mansuetus was probably a regionary
Bishop, and obviously in union with Tours,
Perpetuus of Tours presiding over this coun-
cil. The legendary accounts of S. Corentin,
the first Bishop of Quimper(Cor/so/ii/a«2/s), con-
nect him also with Tours, and with S. Martin ;
and if (as has been conjectured) his name is
disguised under that of " Cariaton," who was
at the council of Angers A.D. 453, he was
likewise almost contemporary with Mansue-
tus. As was also the first S. Padarn of Van-
nes, if he was really there A.D. 448. Vene-
randus, however, who signs this council at
Tours by proxy in A.D. 461, is conjectured to
have been Bishop of Quimper. If these two
sees really existed at that time, it is possible
that Mansuetus may have been Bishop of Aleth,
as Tresvaux {TEglise de Bretagne, Paris, 1 839)

conjectures. The Bishops of Nantes and Rennes
were also present at the Tours Council, and
were plainly «o/ Bishops " Britannorum." The
Acta of S. Winwaloe of Landevenec, and those
of S. Brioc, also point to the earlier half of
this century. And while no doubt there were
Christians in Armorica during Roman times,
all the British immigrations — beginning A.D.
387 (and continuing until c. A.D. 570) — were
of Christian Britons. Yet the Acta S. Me-
lanii (said to have died after A.D. 530) describe
the Veneti as " tunc temporis pene omnes
gentiles " {Actt. SS. Jan. 6, 7. c. IV. § 23).
And those of S. Paul of Leon (Bishop there
from A.D. 512) testify to the continuance of
heathenism in that district also down to that
date.

=> Perpetuus of Tours presided, and five
Bishops besides Paternus, not Britons, were
present, or assented, together with two Bi-
shops whose sees are not known, sc. Albinus
and Liberalis, conjectured by Stapleton (Rot.
Scacc. Norman., I. xli.) to have been respec-
tively Bishops of Quimper and Aleth, as being
the only sees unaccounted for. Obviously

Brittany was still reckoned without dispute
as within the province of Tours. Can. 15 of
the council enacts an uniform " ordo sacro-
rum," and "consuetude psallendi," and " unam
pfficiorum regulam," within " provincia nos-
tra :" a canon possibly suggested by Briton
immigration.

^ Riochat, mentioned in the Litany in

simply, must mean Bishop, in Sidonius), was
obviously conveying Faustus' two Books De

=* The account of the details of the act here
recorded dates probably after the timeofCharle-
magn . The establishment of the see by the
King, and the consecration of Paul by Bishops
at court and not at Tours, are no doubt
facts. The Chronicles assign various dates for
the transaction— one as late as A.D. 580.
But the Childebert intended was probably
the first of the name, King of Paris A.D.
511-558, And Paul is said to have been
aided, when an old man, by Judwal of Brit-
tany, who was Count about A.D. 550, and
4th in descent from the Riwallus who came
to Brittany in A.D. 513. The existence and
authority of a Frank Count at Leon, at whose

request Childebert is said to have acted, agrees
also with the beginning more than with the
end of Childebert's reign, the Franks at the
former period being more masters of Brittany
than they were at the latter. If Samson came
to Dol at this same date, then that see also
was possibly founded, and for the influx of
British immigrants. But this would seem to
belong to the somewhat later immigration of
the middle of the century : if indeed Dol was
ever a Bishop's see at all until Nomenoe made
it so in A.D. 845. The legend of S. Samson
(in Lib. La/idav.) calls it a "monastery"
throughout, without any hint of a bishopric
there at that time.

[SS. MACLOVIUS AND MAGLORIUS.]

Lives of Gildas and of Paternus ( = probably
Conober, slain by the Franks A.D. 560, Greg.
Tur., IV. 20). He was also contemporary
with King Childebert I., A.D. 511-558. (See
also next article.) His .i4rCi&bishopric at Dol
(which probably was not even a Bishopric
until A.D. S45) is a fiction of the same kind
with that of the like Archbishopric at S.David's:
as are also, it need hardly be said, the story
of the York Archbishopric and pall, and the
locating S. Samson himself at S. David's. And
his connection with Childebert sufficiently
accounts for his presence at Paris, without
making him a Breton Bishop. The legend of
S. Teilo, which brings him also to S. Samson
at Dol for a time, and that of Oudoceus,
making him son of one Budic who comes
from Cornwall to Armorica to be prince of
the latter country, shew at all events a close
intercourse in this century between South
Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany. As does also
the legend of Padarn of Llanbadarn (see above,

vol. I. p. 159) ; to be mentioned here in order
to distinguish him, not only from the Bishops
of Vannes of the previous century, but from
the " Paternus" (of Avranches) above in the
text, who was probably a Breton from his
name, but lived and died at S. Pair d' Avran-
ches, not at that time in Brittany (see the V. S.
Paterni by Venant. Fort., his contemporary).
The Welsh legend of the Padarn of Llanba-
darn (Camhro-Brit. SS.), composed after the
9th century (for it speaks of seven sees in
Brittany), makes him also Bishop of Vannes,
and connects him with S. Samson of Dol. It
was obviously written to exempt Vannes from
subjection to Dol. See also the History of
Gildas for another instance of British and
Breton intercourse. The legends of S. Cadoc
and S. Illtyd also take those saints to Armo-
rica {Cambro-Brit. SS.). And although S.
David himself is not taken thither, yet his
legend and memory were familiar there (see
below, Append. D.).

A.D. 561, ^66. Further immigration of Britons into Brittany in connection
luith MacloUj Maglorius a, etc.

SiGEBERT, Chron. ad an. 561. — Machutes, qui et Maglorius i>, regu-
lariter educatus et ipsius [sc. Brendani] navigationis socius, in Bri-
tannia [i. e. Armorica] sanctitate et miraculis claruit : qui a Britannis
exacerbatus, eis maledictis, transivit ad Gallias, et sub Leontio
Santonum Episcopo multo tempore virtutibus claruit ; Britannis vero
propter suam maledictionem variis cladibus afFectis, data rursus be-
nedictione, absolvit et sanavit. — Id., in an. 566. — Samson Dolensis
Archiepiscopus consanguineus Sancti Maclovii, et successor Samsonis
Maglorius, qui de transmarina Britannia ad cismarinam transierunt
Britanniam, clarent sanctitate et doctrina. — Vit. S. Maglorii. —
(Maglorius) ad prsedicandum populo ejusdem linguae, in occidente
consistenti, mare transfretavit, properans finibus territorii Dolensis.
[Morice^ I.]

" Maglovius became Bishop of Aleth, after-
wards (viz. about A.D. 1062) transferred to
S. Malo ; Maglorius succeeded Samson at
Dol : according to their legends, referred to
below in Append. B. They were both from
Glamorgan or Gwent, and connected with
Samson. For the many legendary lives of
Britons who came to Brittany, from A.D. 450
to A.D. 600, mainly, but a few also in the
following century, see below in Append. B.
It really looks possible, that if Dol was at first
only a monastery in the sec of Aleth, with
probably enough (occasionally) episcopal ab-

bats (and this is rendered almost certain by
Nomenoe's reckoning in A.D. 845, that he
found four sees and left seven, viz. by adding
S. Brieuc, Treguier, and Dol as a separate see,
to Vannes, Quimper, Leon, and Aleth, — and
see Stapleton as before quoted, /. xlv. note),
then that Maglovius and Maglorius were one
and the same person. At any rate Maglorius
was probably no more than abbat (perhaps
episcopal) of the monastery of Dol.

b The best edition of Sigebert (Pertz, VI.
318) reads Maclovus instead oi Maglorius.

* It is a difficult task to locate a Litany,
which prays for the " Plebs et Clerus Att-
glorum," as well as for " Rex et Episcopus,"
who must be supposed to be " of the Angles"
also, and which yet in its list of local saints
contains principally Breton, but wholly Celtic,
saints, S. Samson, S. Brioc, etc., S. Patrick and
the chief Irish names, and S. Columba, and
the Cornish S. Melorus, but no one name
connected with Saxon England except that of
S. Augustin, an exception proving nothing.
And the Breton names moreover are not
only the chief names, but also those of
less note. The name of S. Judicael brings
down its date to at least the end of the 7th
century. The special mention of S. Bene-
dict, as in connection with Brittany, points
to (at earliest) the 9th. And the names of
Gudwal and Melorus seem to postpone it to
the end of the loth, inasmuch as the legends

of those (fictitious) saints date at that period,
although they themselves are alleged to have
lived earlier. The omission of Columbanus
{O'Conor, Biblioth. Stow., II. 2) proves no-
thing, since the document plainly has no rela-
tion to foreign Irish missions or Churches, and
belongs to a time and place where S. Benedict
was the monastic founder and was held in special
reverence. On the whole, taking into account
also the place where it was found, and the
character of the documents accompanying it
or found in like localities, it seems most pro-
bable that (invocations excepted) it is an
English Litany, possibly from York, tran-
scribed for Breton use, at the latter part of
the time when the influence of the York
school was great in Northern France, and
when the Breton Church and State looked
for protection to Anglo-Saxon Kings ; i. e.
somewhere in the loth century.

APPENDIX C.

SUPREMACY OF THE SEE OF TOURS OVER BRITTANY, AND ESPECIALLY
AS AGAINST THE ARCHBISHOPRIC OF DOL.

As Welsh nationality led to the assertion of an imaginary Archbishopric
of S. David's, in order to escape submission to the Norman Canterbury, so
Brdton nationality led to the attempted, and for several centuries actual,
establishment by the Breton Princes of (not a Bishopric only but) an Arch-
bishopric of Dol, in order to escape the domination of the Frank Arch-
bishopric of Tours 9-; both attempts being finally crushed at the same period,
viz. at S.David's A.D. 1203, at Dol A.D. 1x99.

1. The very earhest British Breton Bishops and abbats, viz. Paternus of
Vannes, and Corentin of Quimper, and Winwaloe and Brioc respectively at
Landevenech and S. Brieuc, etc. etc., evidently resorted (as it was most natural
they should) to S. Martin's still Gallo-Roman successors at Tours. But —

2. The conquests of the Franks, c. A.D. 500, pushed up to the Vilaine and
the Ranee, and the entire occupation of Brittany proper, west of that
boundary, by British immigrants, and the constant border wars that fol-
lowed, naturally produced a national severance between the proper Breton
Church and the now Frankish see of Tours. Breton Bishops proper
do not appear thenceforth at Frank councils b. And a council of Tours in
A.D. 567 condemns consecrations in Brittany independent of Tours. At
the same time c, there was no Archbishopric in Brittany either at Dol or
anywhere else, and indeed at Dol not even a Bishopric (as is manifest from
the MS. of Mont S. Michel quoted below). The Breton Bishops must
have consecrated one another, as the contemporary Welsh Bishops did ;
and probably one Bishop was held enough for a consecration, after the
Celtic practice.

3. With Nomenoe's grand (and until the Northmen came, successful
and enduring) effort at Breton independence and kingship came a new
ecclesiastical era also. Appointed Duke of Brittany by Louis le Debon-
naire, A.D. 826, Nomenoe declared himself King A.D. 841-3; and the
victory over the Franks at Ballon A.D. 845, and the treaty made by Charles

92 APPENDIX C.

[archbishopric of dol.]

the Bald with Nomenoe's son in A.D. 867, gave the Bretons possession of
not only Rennes and Nantes and some way into Angers, but also of the
Avranchin and Cotentin as far as Bayeux. In order to secure this inde-
pendence on the ecclesiastical side, Nomenoe, under the advice of Con-
voion abbat of Redon (which abbey he had himself founded A.D. 832),
contrived, after a council at Redon A.D. 846, and an unsuccessful mission
of Convoion to Pope Leo IV., to extort, at a council of Coetlou near Vannes
A.D. 848, the resignation on a charge of simony of the four Brdton Bishops,
of Vannes, Quimper, Leon, and Aleth (" Quomodo Nomenoius tyrannus
Britonum de Quatuor Episcopatibus fecit septem, tempore Caroli Calvi Regis
Francorum," in Ladi., Cone. VIII. 1957, 1958, from a MS. Cod. Mont.
S. Michel, in Sirmond). And further, at a council of Dol A.D. 850, he
both had himself crowned King, and established three new sees in addition
to the above four, viz. Dol, S. Brieuc, Treguier, the first two certainly, and
probably all, taken out of the see of Aleth, and the first of the three made
also into an Archbishopric {ib.). He also set up a Bishop of his own,
Gislard, in opposition to one Actard, at Nantes, the latter however holding
the see nevertheless, A.D. 846-851, until Nomenoe's death.

i. From this time to A.D. 881, Frank councils and Popes continuously
condemned the Bretons, but with no practical result.

A.D. 849, the council of Paris {Morice, I. 291-293; Labb., VIII. 58-
61), and A.D. 850, Leo IV. (J/., /. 288, 289; L., VIII. 30-32), com-
manded respectively Nomenoe himself and the Breton Bishops to submit to
Tours; and Leo IV., also in A.D. 850 (Z., ib. 32), enjoined Nomenoe to
desist from supporting Gislard at Nantes. A.D. 855 x 858, Pope Benedict III.
(as referred to by Pope Nicholas A.D. 862), and A.D. 862, Pope Nicholas I.,
writing to Salomon now King of the Bretons, pronounced that Bishops could
not be deposed by laymen, or judged by less than twelve Bishops {Morice, I.
316-318; Mariefie, Thes., Ill 859); and the latter also took up the cause
of the now expelled Bishop Actard of Nantes. The council of Savonidres
near Toul, A.D. 859, writing to the Bishops of Brittany, to King Salomon,
and to certain Breton lords {Morice, I. 309-314; Mart., III. 858),— and
Nicholas I., May 26, A.D. 865, writing to Salomon, and May 17, A.D. 866,
writing again to Salomon and also to the Breton Bishops {Aloriee, I. 318-
321 ; Mart., III. 862-864),^ — enjoined obedience to Tours; and the council
of Soissons, A.D. 866, August, also took up Actard's cause {Morice, I.
321-325). And that cause was again urged by Pope Adrian II., A.D. 868,
Feb. 23 and 25, writing to Charles the Bald, to the Bishops of the council
of Soissons, and to Actard himself {Morice, I. 325-328; and Mansi, XV.
824). The same Adrian II., A.D, 868, March 8, had assured Herard
Archbishop of Tours that he would not favour Dol to Herard's injury

APPENDIX C. 93

[archbishopric of dol.]

{Mortce, I. 324 ; Mart, III. 865). And Pope John VIIL, A.D. 878, writ-
ing to Maheu " Bishop" of Dol and the other Brdton Bishops, bade them
submit to Tours on pain of excommunication [Monce, I. 333, 334).

On the other hand, while it is obvious from these very letters and councils
that the Brdtons did not submit to Tours, they produced also on their own
side, at a later period, a letter of Adrian, A.D. 867 x 872, sending " a leg of
S. Leo " to King Salomon, and a pall to Festinian of Dol, — spurious how-
ever, and indeed only produced under very suspicious circumstances, and
contradictory to Adrian's undoubted letter, — and a letter of John VIII. to
Mainus (Maheu) "Archbishop" of Dol, and the Brdton Bishops, A.D. 881,
relating only to the ordination of certain monks by their abbat, but inci-
dentally styling Maheu ^rc/zbishop {Alon'ce, I. 338; Mart., III. 867;
MaklL, Aim. Ord. Bcned., Ill 683).

ii. From A.D. 881 to 1076, with two exceptions at long intervals, the
Breton question went to sleep, Brittany evidently remaining (ecclesiastically)
independent, and the Norman ravages and wars accounting probably in
part for its being let alone. The two exceptions were, i. a letter of Pope
John XIII. to all the Bishops and Nobles of Hither Britain, A.D. 965 x 972,
enjoining submission to Tours [Morice, I. 347, 348 ; Mart., III. 868) ; and
2. the council of Rheims, Oct. 4, A.D. 1049, followed by a letter of Leo IX.
and a Roman council, May 12, A.D. 1050, to Eudo Prince of the Bretons
and their other chiefs, the former declaring Dol not an Archbishopric and
to have no pall, and ordering submission to Tours, the latter excommuni-
cating the Armorican Bishops for alleged simony and for not appearing
at Rome to answer the complaint of Tours, but summoning them to a
council at Vercelli Sept. i, at which it does not appear what happened;
but A.D. 1059, Cardinal Stephen, writing to " J.-- called Archbishop of
Dol," summons him to Rome against March 26, A.D. 1060, and to Tours
meanwhile to meet the Pope's legate [Mortce, I. 395, 396, 411, 412 ; Mart.,
III. 869-871 ; Labb., IX. 993, 994 ; Mansi, XIX. 928).

iii. From A.D. 1076 to A.D. 1143, the Bretons in effect carried their
point, by obtaining a distinct Papal recognition of their Dol Archbishopric.
Gregory VII. (who had written Aug. 28, A.D. 1074, to " all the Bishops
and Abbats of Brittany," summoning them to a council at Rome for
February, A.D. 1075, and meanwhile enjoining them to prevent incestuous
marriages), interfered in A.D. 1076 with his usual high-handedness in a
disputed election at Dol, by himself consecrating one Ivo (abbat of S. Mela-
nius at Nantes) to the ^r<:>^bishopric of that see and giving him a pall;
writing to that effect to the clergy and people of Dol, to the Bishops of
Brittany (whom he enjoined to obey the Archbishop of Dol, pending the
decision of the Tours claim), and to William of England (to support Ivo

94 APPENDIX C.

[archbishopric of dol.]

against Duke Alan of Brittany's " simoniacal" Bishop); but again in A.D.
1077 to Rodulph Archbishop of Tours, that he had reserved the question of
the pall and the Tours supremacy, and to King William (who had interfered
on behalf of the other Dol claimant), that he would send legates to decide
{Morice, I. 442-447; Mart., III. 871-876). In A.D. 1078, however, the
same Pope writes to Geoffrey, Howel, and Geoffrey son of Eudo, Counts
of Brittany, to cause the Bishops, abbats, clerks, and laity to come to a
synod about Ivo's case; and in A.D. 1080, he writes again to the Bishops,
clergy, and people of Brittany " in the province of Tours," to inform them
that a council of Rome has referred the cause to Apostolic legates {Morice,
I. 447-451 ; Mart., III. '^"li). And those legates, in the same year 1080,
at a council held at Saintes, decide against the claims of Dol (alleging
the letter of Adrian above mentioned to be a forgery), but give the actual
incumbent of Dol his pall for life [Labb., X. 398). Pope Urban II. per-
petuated the same half-decision, by giving the pall to another Dol Bishop,
Roland, while deciding in general against Dol : writing to that effect to the
Bishops of Brittany and to the clergy and people of Dol A.D. 1093; and
again to the Bishops of Brittany and to Ralph Archbishop of Tours A.D.
1094; and repeating his condemnation of Dol, according to the testimony
of William Bishop of Poitiers, at the Council of Clermont, Nov., A.D. 1095
{Morice, I. 467, 469, 482, 483 ; Mart., III. 878, 879, 881, 882). Neverthe-
less, A.D. 1 109, Pope Paschal grants a pall to Baldric, "^;r,^bishop of
Dol," without any restriction at all ; writing to that effect to Baldric himself
and to the " Suffragans, clergy, and people of Dol" {Morice, I. 497, 498;
Mart., III. 882, 883). And " Baldric and his suffragans" are accordingly
summoned as such to the council of Rheims, Oct., A.D. 11 19, by the same
Pope Paschal; and by Pope Calixtus II., June 25, A.D. 11 22, to a council
at Rome for March 18, A.D. 11 23; and Geoffrey "Archbishop of Dol and
his suffragans" to the council of Pisa, May 26, A.D. 1 135, by Pope Innocent
II., Nov. 8, A.D. 1 1 34; and the "Archbishop" of Dol is addressed as one
with the Archbishops of Bourges, Tours, Bordeaux, and Auche, by Pope
Honorius II., A.D. 1124 x 1130 {Morice, I. 541, 552, 569, 570; Mart., III.
884, 885); and A.D. 1142, Dec. 10, Innocent II. summons Hugh Arch-
bishop of Tours to Rome by Oct. 18, A.D. 1143, to answer the complaint
of the " Archbishop of Dol," that he had taken from him the see of Aleth;
repeating his summons Dec. 10, A.D. 1143 {Morice, I. 587; Mart., III.
886, 887). Hildebert of Tours however had during this period urged the
claims of his see upon Innocent II. {Mart., III. 854).

iv. A.D. 1144-1154, however, the tide turned again against Dol. In the
first named year, Lucius II. issued a formal Bull in favour of Tours, yet left
his pall to the actual Bishop of Dol ; absolved the Bishops of Brieuc and

APPENDIX C. 95

[archbishopric of dol.]
Tr^guier from subjection to Dol; urged Godfrey Count of Brittany to
suffer his Bishops to obey Tours {Mortce, I. 591-595; Mart., III. 887,
890); and generally undertook to defend Tours {Maan, Eccl. Turon. 252).
And Eugenius III., Jan. 3, A.D. 1147, issued a like Bull to that of his pre-
decessor {Morice, I. 598 ; Mart., III. 892). The council of Rheims, A.D.

1 1 48, March 20, excommunicated Dol and Brieuc for not obeying Tours;
the great S. Bernard, at Pope Eugenius' request, effected a compromise be-
tween Tours and Dol, of which however the terms are not specified ; Euge-
nius himself, writing to Hugh Archbishop of Tours and his chapter, A.D.

1 1 49, took the Tours side, but withheld the actual sentence of excommu-
nication; and Pope Anastasius IV., A.D. 11 54, writing to the clergy,
barons, and people of Dol, and (twice) to Engelbaud Archbishop of Tours,
again took the Tours side, yet allowed Hugh of Dol to be an Archbishop
and to have a pall, and urged S. Bernard's compromise {Morice, I. 599,
620; Mart., III. 812, 894, 896, 897).

V. In A.D. 1155-1160, Dol was again in the ascendant. Adrian IV. in
the first-named year, May 21, abrogated S. Bernard's compact and gave a
pall to Dol; desiring the Archbishop of Tours, Dec. 20, to be reunited to
Dol, and the clergy and people of " the province" of Dol to submit to Dol,
and in especial, A.D. 1156x1158, the Bishops of Brieuc and Tr^guier;
and A.D. 1155, Geoffrey son of Oliver, and A.D. 1156 x 1158, " E. Count
of L^on," to help Dol, and the clergy and people of a particular parish
(" de MurmicelHo") to submit to Dol; and A.D. 1155, May 21, the Arch-
bishop, Archdeacons, and Dean of Rouen, to give up his own churches to
Hugh of Dol {Morice, I. 625-628; Mart., III. 898-902). And in A.D.
1 1 60, March 3, Alexander III. still commended Dol to the barons and
people of that see {Morice, I. 640 ; Mart., III. 903).

vi. But A.D. 1161-1199, the case turned finally against Dol. Pope
Alexander III., July 12, A.D. 1161, desired the Dean and Chapter of Dol to
send their newly elected Bishop to Tours to be consecrated. And the
question being revived by the Archbishop of Tours at the council of
Avranches, A.D. 1172 {Hoveden), appears to have been again pressed at the
court of Rome. Alexander III., Dec. 18, A.D. 1179, and again May 12,
A.D. 1 180, writes to Bartholomew Archbishop of Tours to come to Rome
on the subject, and to " the King of the French" (probably in A.D. 1 179) to
strive to reconcile the two, but to help Dol to have the case tried ; and in
A.D. 1 179 or 1 180, issues a commission to the Archbishop of Sens, the
Bishop of Bayeux, the abbat of S. Gen^vidve, and the Dean of Bayeux, to
collect evidence {Morice, I. 645, 673, 674; Mart., III. 903-906). Lucius
III., Aug. 18, A.D. 1 184 or 1 185, renews that commission to the Dean of
Mans, the Archdeacon of Rouen, and Master Hugo Januensis {Morice, I.

96 APPENDIX C.

[archbishopric of dol.]
690; Mart., III. 910). Urban III., A.D. 1186 or 1187, urges a friendly
agreement with Dol upon Bartholomew of Tours {Mart., III. 911). But
A.D. 1 199, Innocent III., after a full statement of the case on both sides
(Testimonies on behalf of Tom-s against Dol, and on behalf of Dol against
Tours, Petition of Church of Dol, with the succession of their Bishops,
Reply of Tours to that Petition, Morice, I. 735-759), gave final sentence in
favour of Tours {ib. 759-767), writing to the Archbishop and Chapter of
Tours and to the Duchess and Barons of Brittany to announce and enforce
his sentence (ib. 767, 768). And accordingly, c. A.D. 1200, Jean de Lizannet,
consecrated to Dol by Bartholomew of Tours, professes obedience to that see.
So ended a suit, that had been prolonged in the Papal court just 350 years.

" The history of the later Breton Church and
that of the Welsh Church of the same period,
present, beside the parallel histories of their
(alike ineffectual) struggles for an independent
national Church, some other curious resem-
blances, which however the scope of the
present work only allows us to indicate,
i. Northman invasion threw the Breton
Church, as well as the South Welsh, upon
Anglo-Saxon protection, as early as Ethel-
wulf, A.D. 835-857 ; and King Alfred, who
patronized Armorican monasteries, c. A.D.
888, as he did S. David's {Asser, DeReb. Gestis
Mlfredi, M. H. B. 486, 496) ; and Eadward,
A.D. 901-925. And Athelstan, A.D. 925,
gave refuge to Duke Alan of Brittany
(Chron. Namnet. ap. Bouquet, VII. 276).
The Epist. Radhod.Ephc. Dol. (in W. Malm.,
G. P. V. ; Gale, III. 364) is quoted by Lin-
gard, as shewing that even then, in Athel-
stan's reign, the Bretons regarded themselves
as Britons — " In exulatu atque in captivitate in
Francia commoramur." — ii. The same cause
produced also, in A.D. 878, not one, but a
whole series, of " Translations," like the
wanderings of S. Cuthbert ; of which Le
Grand {Vies des Sainls de la Bret, p. 244,
3rd edit.) gives a list, including every Saint of
any note in the country, their relics being
transported to Paris, Angers, Poitiers, Char-
tres, Bonrges, Marmoustier, etc., and not in
all cases restored when the troubles wpre
over. — iii. Marriage of priests continued in
Brittany, as in Wales, owing probably to
their comparative isolation, longer than else-
where (see Courson, II. 163, 164"). And
benefices became hereditary, also, in the one
country as in the other : see Hildehert, Epist.
{0pp., pp. 135, 136), who affirms that the
practice was abolished in a council A.D. 1 1 27
(see also Girald. Cambr., 0pp., III. 130).^ —
iv. Imputations of incestuous marriages were
cast upon the Bretons as upon the Welsh and the
Scots : see Gregory VII. 's letter to the Breton

Bishops and Abbats of Aug. 28, A.D. 1074.

^ Apparent exceptions either belong to
the pre-Frank period, or are mere conjectures,
or are explicable by peculiar circumstances.
Mansuetus A.D. 461, Corentin (if indeed he
was the same with " Cariatonus") at Angers
in A.D. 453, Modestus of Vannes, and Vene-
randus, conjecturally of Quimper, by his vicar,
at the council of Tours A.D. 461, and Albi-
nus, also conjecturally of Quimper, at the
council of Vannes A.D. 465, and S. Patemus,
consecrated by the Archbishop of Tours in
A.D. 465, come under the first head of the
three. And Litharedus " Episcopus Oxo-
mensis," at the council of Orleans, A.D.
511, who has been guessed to have been
Bishop of Quimper (the one Osismian see
prior to the erection of that of Leon), and
S. Paul of Leon itself in A.D. 512, who was
consecrated irrespectively of Tours but by
Frank authority, belong also to a time when the
national estrangement could hardly as yet have
become intense, and when also Frank power
had reached a point in Brittany from which
it almost immediately receded. After this,
there occurs only the one case of S. Samson,
at the council of Paris A.D. 557, but without
any see named. But Samson, according to
his Legend, was then in refuge at the Frank
court with the young fugitive Count Judwal ;
had been made a Bishop in Wales before he
came to Brittany; and almost certainly was not
only not Bishop of Dol, but there was no see of
Dol at all at that time ; and, lastly, the meet-
ing at Paris was not a regular council. Pa-
ternus, at the same Council, himself apparently
a Breton, was Bishop of Avranches. It is
a mere conjecture, that Cadoenus, at Rheims
A.D. 682, was Bishop of Aleth.

^ The claim made long after, of a pall
granted by the Pope, Severinus, to Restoaldus
Bishop of Dol, A.D. 638 X 640, is manifestly
founded on fiction. And S. Samson's pall is
also an obvious fiction of the 12th centurv.

crosses were erected on almost all the heathen " menhirs," etc., of which
some, mentioned by M. de Freminville, are noted below d. And similar

Brittenburg at the mouth of the Rhine, once a Roman station, has been
assigned to Briton emigrants at the time of Maximus, A.D. 387, by Courson

Antiq., XII., Works, V. 480 sq.). There was also, it appears, a place called
" Bretangen," on the coast of Holland near the mouths of the Rhine. And
Pliny {Hist. Nat., IV. 31) and apparently Dionysius Periegetes (vv. 284, 285)
locate a tribe of " Britanni " from the first century on the shores of Flanders
and Picardy, which would fall in with Bede's statement {H. E., I. i.) that the
island Britain was colonized by Britons from Armorica, i. e. originally the
whole northern as well as western shore of Gaul. And this is corroborated
again, although in a confused and blundering narrative, by Procopius {De
BeJlo Gothico, IV. 20), who places " Britones" in conjuncdon with Frisians
and Angles, either at or near the mouths of the Rhine, or in a " Brittia," of
which he conceives as distinct from the island of Brittania and as some-
where off the mouths of the Rhine. Henry Cannegieter {Dissert, de Britten-
burgo, Hague, 1734) is quoted as imagining a colony of Britons at that
place, founded by Adminius, who is mentioned by Suetonius {Calig.,c.\\\\.)
as flying to Caligula from his father Cinobellinus King of the Britons. But
none of these, except in the case of Maximus, could be Chri-nian.

Be alone in a separate place near

Be always naked in imitation of
Christ and the Evangelists.

Whatsoever little or much thou
possessest of anything, whether
clothing, or food, or drink, let it be

his disposal, for it is not befitting a
religious to have any distinction of
property with his own free brother.

Let a fast place, with one door,
enclose thee.

A few religious men to converse
with thee of God and his Testament ;
to visit thee on days of solemnity;
to strengthen thee in the Testaments
of God, and the narratives of the
Scriptures.

A person too who would talk with
thee in idle words, or of the world ;
or who murmurs at what he cannot
remedy or prevent, but who would
distress thee more should he be a
tattler between friends and foes, thou
shalt not admit him to thee, but at
once give him thy benediction should
he deserve it.

Let thy servant be a discreet, reli.

APPENDIX C.

INSCRIBED AND OTHER CHRISTIAN MONUMENTS IN THE PICTISH AND
SCOTTISH KINGDOMS.

A.D. 4OO-9OG (?).

A. A.D. 400-600 (?). A few monuments exist in Scotland, which look as
though they should be referred to a semi-Roman date and origin.

i. Inscribed Monuments.

1. Near the kirk o{ Yarrow, a slab with an inscription in debased Roman
characters — as read by Sir J. Y. Simpson: —

Roman characters —

ii. Mo7iuments uninscnbed, of this earlier period, may possibly exist, but
there is not sufficient evidence whereon to assign such a date to any existing
stone.

B. Inscribed a?id other Monuments in the Pictish Kingdom.

A.D. 700-900 (?).

Monuments of a definitely Pictish style cluster most thickly in the parts
of the country which formed the centre of the kingdom of the Picts, viz. in
the counties of Forfar, Fife, and the eastern districts of Perth, south of the
Mounth, and in the valleys of the Dee and Don in Aberdeenshire, imme-
diately north of it ; being most abundant in the comparatively level district
running westwards from the shore between Montrose and Arbroath through
Forfarshire and Perthshire to the Tay and Dunkeld, and again, along the
Earn. There are also isolated clusters in Elginshire, and on the shores of
Ross along the Moray Firth, besides a few scattered examples elsewhere.
All are of a very special character, markedly differing (and especially in the
various symbols, which are peculiar to them) from the Saxon monuments in
Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, and Dumfries ; from the pre-Saxon
monuments in Kirkcudbright and Wigton and towards the lower part of the
Clyde ; and from those also, which are nearer akin to them, but which are
destitute of the symbols above mentioned, viz. the older monuments in
Argyllshire and the Isles. They are also of an older type than the Irish
crosses, their ordinary character being that of pillar stones with the cross
or ornaments simply cut on the face of the stone. But some, as e. g. those
at S. Andrew's and at Dunkeld, which have the Celtic ornamentation, lack
the peculiar Pictish symbols.

I. Inscribed Monuments are very few.

I. South of the Mounth.

i. At St. Vigeans (church of S. Fechin), near Arbroath, an elaborately
adorned stone with a cross, interlaced work, and figures ; and on one face
of it, —

i. e. (the cross) of Drost son of Vorct of the family of Fergus. Drost
was a King of the Picts, killed in battle near S. Vigean's A.D. 729.

APPENDIX C. 127

[inscribed and other christian monuments in SCOTLAND.]

Another cross at the same place, also elaborately ornamented and with
figures, has among the latter two ecclesiastics with peculiar dress and the
Roman tonsure; and dates therefore after A.D. 710x718.

A third cross uninscribed, and several fragments, are also at the same
place (Stuarl, Sculpt. Stones of Scotl., I. 69-71, //. 126-128).

2. North of the Mounth.
ii. At Newton House, in the Garioch up the Don, Aberdeenshire, parish
of Culsalmond, but removed from its original site : an upright pillar 5 or 6
feet high, with six lines of inscription, not yet read : also Oghams on its
edge, which occur elsewhere in Scotland only at Logie in the same neigh-
bourhood, at Scoonie in Fifeshire, at Golspie in Sutherland, and at Bressay
in Shetland {Stuart, ib., I. i).

iii. At Knocka7ido, up the Spey, Elginshire, three slabs with patterns, and
on one of them, in Runes of the 9th or loth century,

SIKNIK,
a name which occurs also in Runes on a monument at Sanda Sodermanland
in Sweden {Stuart, ib., II. 105).

iv. At Papa Stronsay, north-east part of the Orkneys, a plain upright
stone with a cross incised, and one word above the cross, unintelligible
{Stuart, ib., I. 42).

v. At Bressay, eastern part of the Shetlands, a stone with cross and
elaborate ornamentation, and on the edges of it Oghams, interpreted by
Dr. Graves thus —

APPENDIX C. 133

[inscribed and other christian monuments in SCOTLAND.]

There are several other inscribed and very beautiful slabs and crosses,
both in Hy and in the neighbouring islands, as e. g. Oronsay, but of a date
much posterior to these and to the period with which we are here concerned,
and running down to the 1 6th century.

II. Uninscribed monuments occur frequently in the islands and in Kintyre
(besides many of later date), viz. :

I. In the Islands.

Argyllshire.

i.- Hy, two crossed stones, of Irish type, one called S. Martin's,

another with a plain cross in Reilig Oran of the character of the

Irish crosses ascribed by Dr. Petrie to the 9th century, and two

early fragments {Stuart, ib., II., plates 40, 41, 44-46, and p. 65).

ii. Islay, fragments of carved pillar stones at Kilarrow and at Keils,
two crossed stones at Kilchoman, and two elaborately carved
stones with crosses of Irish type but probably loth or nth
century at Kildalton {lb., plates 35-37, 53).

iii. Eilanmore, W. coast of South Knapdale, Kintyre ; a carved pillar,
once a cross with limbs, and a stone with a plain lined cross
incised {ib., plates 100, 103).

iv. Tiree, a carved crossed stone at KirkapoU (with Crucifixion) which
looks of later date, and a very old carved stone with cross of
more ancient appearance than those in Hy, besides many other
fragments of the early Hy type {ib., plates 48, 52).

Inverness-sh ire.
V. Ca7ina, a beautiful cross with limbs {ib., plates 50, 51).

vi. Harris (in the Hebrides), a stone with a plain lined cross incised

cross at Rothsay Castle, and three round-headed crosses of a
Cornish type at S. Blane's, Kingarth {ib., plates 56, 72, 73).

viii. Cumbrac, at Millport, fragments of ten crosses like those at
S. Blane's {ib., plate 74).

ix. Arran, at Kilbride, a primitive stone with cross like those in Corn-

2. On the mamland.
Mainla7id of Argyllshire.
i. Kintyre, at Kilchousland near Campbeltown, a fragment, and at

Keils to the S. W. of North Knapdale, a beautiful cruciform

pillar but apparently of later date (Jb., plates ^6 and 32) , also at

Keils two slabs, and some inscribed monuments of apparently

nth or i2th century {ib., plate 57).
ii. Kilmichael, in Glassary near Lochgilphead, two crossed stones {ib.,

plate 58), also an inscribed stone resembling those at Keils in

Kintyre {ib., plate 57).
iii. Keils in Morven, N. coast of Sound of Mull, a cross with limbs,

beautifully carved {ib., plate 49).

On none of these monuments are there any of the symbols so common in
Pictland, but which occur nowhere else, save in one place in Galloway, and

however was almost certainly not dedicated to
S. Columba until about A.D. S50), and lastly
Drymeii in the Lennox. Two outlying dedi-
cations— Kirkcolni in Wigton, and S. Columba
in Caerlaverock at the mouth of the Nith in
Dumfries — belong probabl)' to Irish influence
there, of 9th or loth centuries. Other Irish
saints of the same period visited Scotland,
but without permanently settling there : e. g.
S. Finbar of Cork, patron saint of Dornoch ;
S. Brendan ; the two S. Fillans ; S. Ronan,

connected with the island of Rona ; S. Flannan;
(apparently) S. Cainnech ; &c. (see Reeves,
Adamn., App. to Pref. p. Ixxiv.).

"= The Ann. Tigh. must be corrected as re-
spects the mention of Whitsunday. The evi-
dence given by Dr. Reeves (as above) fixes the
day and year to June 9, A.D. 597, which was
not Whitsunday, but Trinity Sunday.

^ Various explanations have been suggested
of this enigmatical "gift" of King Cyric.
Joseph Robertson {Stat. Eccl. Scot., Pref. xix.,
and so also Mr. Stuart, Pref. to Booh of Deer,
pp. xcii-c) endorses a supposition of Mr.
Skene's, that it means freedom from lay ser-
vices, comparing the letter of Boniface to
Cuthbert A.D. 745, the well-known but ob-
scure gifts of Ethelwulf A.D. 854, the laws of
the Northumbrian priests c. A.D. 950, the
charters in the Book of Deer, &c. Mr. Skene,
in the Pref. to his Chronicles, interprets it (less
probably) of a restoration of influence to the
Scottish or Columbite clergy ; quoting an
earlier Pictish Chronicle {ib. 8) to the effect
that the Picts were " destroyed " by Kenneth
Mac Alpin, " quia illi non solum Domini mis-
sam ac praeceptum spreverunt, sed et in jure
equitatis aliis equiparari noluerunt ;" and ad-
ducing the legend of S. Adrian or Odran,
founder of the abbey of May, who came with
a band of clergy to Fifeshire, as probably re-
ferring to some such revolution. The 13th-
century Chron. of Picts and Scots {Skene,
204), also specifies the '" servitude " to be
" dez lays as usages de Picys." Robert-
son's Early Scotl., following Pinkerton and
Chalmers, connects the matter with the transfer
of the primacy from Dunkeld to S. Andrew's ;

which certainly took place about this period,
but probably either in, or just prior to, A.D.
906, and which is connected with the parallel
transfer of the civil capital from Forteviot to
Scone.

That there was a council on the subject,
and that it was held at Forfar, rests solely
upon Boethius {X. p. 209) ; who gives also a
series of privileges granted by it to the clergy,
beginning with an exemption of all " sacerdotes
a tribute et regiis (ut dicunt) exactionibus,
militiaque," also from the jurisdiction of the
civil law courts, with a jurisdiction of their
own in causes of faith, marriage, wills, &c.,
and ending with imposing an oath upon every
King of Scotland at his coronation, to protect
the liberties, &c. of the Church : all of which
appears to have no better foundation than the
one obscure sentence in the Chronicle.

^ Formerly identified with Durrisdeer or
Dunadeer in the Garioch, alleged to have been
the capital city of the Picts in that district, viz.
of the northern Picts {Chalmers, Caledonia,
III. 7, p. 383, note I), but the Prophecy of
Berchan (in Skene, Chron. 98) seems to prove
(as Mr. Skene says) that it was really Dundurn
(Dun d'Earn) on Loch Earn near S. Fillan's
(Skene, Pref. cxxxvi. n.).

meruit nomen, id est, Collis credulitatis. \Skene.^ Chron. 8 ; W..^
I. 204.]

•^ The date depends on that of the begin-
ning of Constantine's reign ; and Donald his
predecessor died A.D. 900 {Ann. Ult.). On
the other hand, the oldest Pict. Chron. makes
him resign the throne ten years before his
death {Skene, Chron. 10 — he died in the tenth
year of his successor's reign), the later Chro-
nicles however reducing this to five : and the
Chron. of Scots and Picts (13th century), and
indeed all the Pictish Chronicles, give forty
years as the length of his reign, while the Ann.
Ult. themselves date his death A.D. 952, thus

making his reign begin A.D. 903, and the
council of Scone date A.D. 909. It does not
seem, however, that there was any interval
between Donald's death and Constantine's
accession. And the date from the Irish annals
is probably the more trustworthy. The forty
years is probably a round number only.

^ " Oppidum Fother occisum est a genti-
bus," in the reign of Donald, i. e. before A.D.

probably of these two facts, the civil capital,
which had been at Forteviot, is now found to
be at Scone ; and Cellach, who was Bishop in
the time of Cyric (Fordim and Wyntoun), is
found in connection with (not Dunkeld, but)
S. Andrew's.

" For Cellach's designation, see below under

Almost at the same time, the
men of Fortrenn and the Loch-
lannsa fought a battle. Vigorously,
indeed, did the men of Alban
fight this battle, for Columcille
was assisting them, for they
prayed to him fervently, because
he was their apostle, and it was
through him they had received
the faith. On a former occasion,
when Imhar Conung'' was a young
man, he came to plunder Alban
with three large battalions. What
the men of Alban, both laity and
clergy, did, was to remain until
morning fasting and praying to
God and to Columcille, and they
cried aloud to the Lord, and gave
many alms of food and clothes to
the churches and to the poor, and
to take the body of the Lord from
the hands of the priests, and to
promise to do every good as their
clergy would order them ; and
they would have as their standard
at the head of every battle the
crozier of Columcille, for which
reason it is called the Cathbhuaidh'^
from that time forth; and this
was a befitting name for it, for
they have often gained victory in
battles by means of it, as they

"* The Saxon nunnery that previously ex-
isted at Coldingham {Bced. H. E., IV. 19, 25)
had been destroyed by the Danes, and, like the
Saxon Melrose, had ceased to exist. Other
grants of King Edgar to Durham are given by
Raine (ib.). Among the rest are the well-
known two, which speak of the kingdom of
Scotland, as well as of Lothian, as held of
William of England by Edgar. The later in
date of the two is commonly affirmed to be a
forgery. And Raine's arguments for the earlier
fail to establish any distinction in its favour,
as compared with the other. The important
words are — " Edgarus filius Malcolmi Regis
Scottorum totam terram de Lodoneio et reg-
num Scotie dono domini mei Willehni Anglo-

rum Regis et paferna hereditate posstdens,
consilio pmdicti domini Regis W.etfidelium
7neorum," in the first of the two : and in the
second, " Edganis Dei gratia Rex Scottorum,
&c., Sciatis nos ex licentia Willelmi Regis
Anglie superioris domini regni Scotice." See
also Anderson's Diplomata Scotice. The Pre/.
to the National MSS. of Scotland, Part I.
pp. xiii-xx., holds the former of the two to be
genuine, but simply to admit that Edgar holds
Lothian of the English crown ; which certainly
is not the true extent of the words as they
stand.

KELEDEI {vulgo "CULDEES") IN SCOTLAND, c. A.D. 800— c. A.D. 11 50.
{Not extinct however until the midtile of the 14/Z; century)

Keledei: what I- " Keledeus" = Servtis Dei {^ccoxdimg to the more probable
they were. derivation), and at first merely an Irish appellation for a monk

(C^le-dd), is first found as the name of a monk of a special and more strict
rule, differing however in no way whatever from the doctrine or ordinary
discipline of the then Church, at Tamhlacht near Dublin under S. Maelruain,
ob. A.D. 792a'. It occurs first, in Scotland, and in a like special sense, either
at Dunkeld before A.D. 820, if Constantine were the founder of the Church
there (other authorities name Kenneth and A.D. 849), or at Lochleven before
A.D. 842 (see above, pp. 118, 147). It is applied to hermits in the latter of
these two places, but at Dunkeld, S. Andrew's, and Glasgow, to a con-
ventual body (usually a prior^ and twelve monks), but described in the last
two cases as living in separate abodes : akin to the secular canons of
Chrodegang of Metz cir. A.D. 757 ; regulated by the Council of Aix-la-
Chapelle, A.D. 817.

Keledei in Scot- H- Keledei are found in Scotland, certainly, at the following
'^"*^- places : —

i. At * Glasgow, according to Jocelin's V. S. Kentegerni (see above,
pp. 28, 29), but there is no evidence as to when they came there; and it is
against all probability to suppose (as Jocelin does) that they were established
by S. Kentegern himself. They had disappeared before David's restoration
of the bishopric in A.D. 11 19. Henry of Silgrave (see below) speaks of
Cano7iici Seculares there.

ii. At '^Dunkeld, from its foundation, according to Dean Mylne (see
below), i. e. from either before A.D. 820 or before A.D. 849 (A.D. 729 is an
obvious error in Mylne, who wrote in the end of the 15th century, corrected
by the name and date of the founder whom he names), according as we
prefer the evidence of the Pictish Chronicle or of the Register of S. Andrew's.
King David A.D. 11 27 established there a body of canons {Ca?to?tici Nig?-i
or of S. Augustin) and a Bishop; but the Dunkeld Keledei, although no
doubt displaced, survived for a considerable period, being mentioned in

176 APPENDIX B.

[KELEDEI (CIT-DEES) IN SCOTLAND.]

Henry of Silgrave's catalogue A.D. 1273 (see Reeves, Culdees, 30), as
co-existing there with Canotiici Nigri.

iii. At Lochleven, where is the earliest certain record of them in Scotland,
viz. A.D. 842 (see above, pp. 118, 147), which proves however that they
must have been established in the island some time previously. The last
record of them there under the name of Keledei is A.D. 1248, but David
made them into Canons Secular A.D. 1144 x 1150.

iv. At *aS'. Andravs, first mentioned A.D. 943, when King Constantine
became their (probably lay) abbat (see above, p. 148) ; but established there,
not at its first foundation, but some time subsequently (see the Hist. Eccl.
S. Andr. as quoted below), and therefore probably early in the 9th century :
last mentioned A.D. 1332 ; co-existing there with Canonici Nigri from
A.D. 1 144, and so also Henry of Silgrave, but finally superseded by those
Canons after a long struggle, which began in A.D. 11 44.

V. At '''Brechin, founded by Kenneth son of Malcolm, A.D. 971 x 995
(see above, p. 149), and probably for Kekdei (who were then still, so to say,
the fashion in the matter of Scottish monastic foundations), inasmuch as
King David, when establishing the episcopal see A.D. 1124x1130, found
Keledei there, and left them in possession. They are last mentioned by
name A.D. 1219x1222, and were supplanted by Dean and Canons before
A.D. 1248. They are however in Henry of Silgrave's list A.D. 1272.

vi. At Abernethy, founded by King Nectan, but by which of the Kings so
called is uncertain; Fordun and (in eff"ect) Dean Mylne, however, fixing it
to c. A.D. 600, but giving two slightly varying dates : the seat of the Pictish
primacy for three episcopates prior to A.D. 849 [Fordun, IV. 12): first
known as of Keledei, A.D. 1093x1107 (see Reeves, Culdees, 127, 128);
and transferred to Canons A.D. 1272.

vii. At Hy, which is in Henry of Silgrave's list, but the solitary record of
Keledei ihQVQ dates A.D. 11 64 {Ann. Ult.), and is of a subordinate section
only of the ecclesiastics of the island.

viii. At Monymusk, on the Don, in Aberdeenshire ; founded or (more
probably) restored by Malcolm Canmore A.D. 1080, and affiliated to [the
Keledei of] S. Andrew's : Keledei there A.D. 1 1 70 ; still so called A.D.
1214x1234, but with an alternative of "Canones;" styled, absolutely,
"Prior et Conventus Ordinis S. Augustini," A.D. 1245.

ix. At Muthill, not far from Dunblane in Perthshire : earliest record
A.D. 1 1 78, latest AD. 12 14.

X. At *Lismore, in Argyllshire, an Irish foundation of S. Moluoc or
Lughaidh, ob. A.D. 592 ; which became, c. A.D. 1 200, the see of the new
diocese of Argyll, taken out of that of Dunkeld. It is only known from
Henry of Silgrave's list to have been Kclcdean, but there is no evidence as

APPENDIX B. 177

[kELEDEI (CULDEEs) in SCOTLAND.]

to how or when it became so ; and a Dean and Canons were certainly there
A.D. 1249, 1251.

xi. At *JDornoc/i, in Sutherlandshire, the see of the diocese of Caithness,
known to have been at some time or other Keledean from Henry of Sil-
grave's list, but Keledei had disappeared there either before or during Bishop
Gilbert's episcopate c. A.D. 1222.

xii. At '^Dunblane, in Perthshire, an old Irish foundation of probably
Columbite times, S. Blaan's mother being said to have been daughter of
King Aidan : known to have been Keledean at some time or other from
Henry of Silgrave's list only.

xiii. At *Rosemarkte, in Ross-shire; also an old Irish foundation, viz. of
S. Boniface (see above, pp. 116, 140), but of later date than Dunblane:
known likewise to have been Keledean at some time or other from Henry
of Silgrave's list. It had ceased to be so A.D. 1224, but whether from the
time of King David's foundation of a bishopric there, no evidence exists
to show.

xiv. At Monifieth, in Forfarshire, where Keledei are once mentioned, viz.
in A.D. 1242, but as having existed in the previous generation.

Keledei are also said to have existed at Scone (so Buchanan), Montrose,
Abirlot, Dull, Ecclesgirg, and elsewhere in Scotland, but there is no evidence
of records to the fact, however probable it may be in itself. No doubt many
Keledean institutions existed, of which no record happens to have been
preserved.

It follows from the facts thus stated, that the original Irish monastic insti-
tutions introduced into Scotland, whether by S. Columba or by other fellow-
workers of that time, were not Keledean c; — that Keledean institutions
began there about A.D. 800, as either new foundations, or in the lapse of
years engrafted on older ones ; — that these foundations followed a Uke
course of deterioration with the similar Irish, and with the Celtic Welsh,
monasteries ; — that partly by their own decadence, but perhaps more through
English ecclesiastical influence (which began with Malcolm and Margaret,
and culminated under King David), they, with the other monasteries of an
Irish type, were either transformed, or destroyed, by a revolution beginning
about the middle of the 12th century, being principally converted into the
monastic order nearest akin to them, viz. Augustinian canons ; — and that
by the middle of the 14th century they had disappeared altogether, even in
name.

It will be seen likewise by this list, and by the names in it marked by an
asterisk, that (even omitting Glasgow, where the Keledei, if they ever existed,
had wholly disappeared, possibly in the general wreck of Church institutions

VOL. II. N

178 APPENDIX B.

[kELEDEI (CULDEEs) in SCOTLAND.]

there, prior to King David's earldom of Cumbria) all the Bishoprics, found
or established by King David, except only Moray and Aberdeen, — and, in
addition, the later Bishopric of Lismore or Argyll, — were created out of
Keledean foundations ; and, further, that in each such case, except only (for a
lime) Brechin, — and again with the addition of the other non-episcopal Kele-
dean institutions, — Keledei were superseded, after more or less of a struggle,
by (usually) Canons. It is easy therefore to perceive how such a transform-
ation of abbatial jurisdictions into a regular system of diocesan episcopacy,
and this under the (eventual) primacy of S. Andrew's, could be naturally,
although not accurately, described by a Durham chronicler of a later period,

as follows : — " Anno ab Incarnatione Domini MCVIII, electus fuit

Turgotus Prior Dunelmensis in Episcopum Sancti Andrese, &c. In diebus
illis totum jus Keledeonim per totum regnum Scotice transivit in Episcopatum
Sancti Andrese''." It is to be added also, that the change then effected was
also a change from old Celtic foundations to new ones of the Anglo-Norman
type, together with a large influx of English monks : analogous to the
contemporaneous change which transformed or destroyed the older British
monasteries in Wales.

What Keledei HI. Special asceticism was the original character of the
became. Keledean rule. Special laxity, after the natural course of

monastic orders, and in this case no doubt coloured more highly by national
and ecclesiastical antipathies, became their character by the 12th century.
But the particular Keledean laxity appears to have been, that, precisely like
their Irish and Welsh congeners, they gradually lapsed into something like
impropriators (to use the modern term), married, and transmitting their
Church endowments as if they had been their own to their children, but
retaining, at any rate in most cases, their clerical office ; although the abbats,
as e. g. at Dunkcld and Abernethy, became in some cases mere lay lords
of the Church lands thus misappropriated, leaving a prior to be the spiritual
superior. The councils under Queen Margaret (see above, pp. 156-158)
may serve to indicate the extent and character of their divergence, in
common with the rest of the Scottish Church, from the then approved
English type. It is needless, after Dr. Reeves's exhaustive essay, to notice
the groundless theories which in modern times polemics and ignorance

APPENDIX B. 179

[KEtEDEl (CULDEES) IN SCOTLAND.]

combined have invented respecting them. The following accounts, drawn
up however (as Dr. Reeves rightly reminds the reader) by opponents, the
first of them in the middle of the 12th century, the second in the end of the
15th, will serve to show what they became before their downfall. And the
list which follows supplies the evidence for the existence of many of them.

appellant, qui secundam [szc] suam sestimationem et hominum traditionem
magis quam secundum sanctorum statula patrum vivebant. Sed et adhuc
similiter vivunt, et quaedam habent communia, pauciora scilicet et deteriora,
quKdam vero propria, plura scilicet et potiora; prout quisque ab amicis suis
aliqua necessitudine ad se pertinentibus, videHcet consanguineis et affinibus,
vel ab iis quorum animse charge^ sunt (quod est animarum amici), sive aliis
quibus libet modis, poterit quis adipisci. Postquam Keledei effecti sunt,
non licet eis habere uxores suas in domibus suis^, sed nee alias de quibus
mala oriatur suspicio mulieres. Personse nihilominus septem^ fuerunt
oblationes altaris inter se dividentes, quarum septem portionum unam tantum
habebat Episcopus, et Hospitale unam ; quinque vero reliquae in quinque
caeteros dividebantur, qui nullo^ omnino altari vel ecclesiae impendebant
servitium, praeterquam peregrinus [s?c] et hospites, cum plures quam sex
adventarunt, more suo hospitio suscipiebant, sortem mittentes quis quos vel
quot reciperet. Hospitale sane semper sex et infra suscipiebat. Sex [teg. sed]
quod nunc, donante Deo, postquam in manum Canonicorum devenit, omnes
suscepit eo advenientes. Personce autem supra memoratte reditus et
possessiones proprias habebant, quas, cum e vitse [sic] decederent, uxores
eorum, quas publice tenebant, filii quoque vel filiae, propinqui vel generi,
inter se dividebant : nihilominus f altaris oblationes cui non deserviebant :
quod puduisset dicere, si non libuisset eis facere. Nee potuit tantum
aufferri malum usque ad tempus foelicis memorise Regis Alexandri, sanctce

of it in Reeves, Culdees, p. 32. It is given
here as supplying the only evidence to the
Keledean character of several of the institu-
tions mentioned in it. But it seems to refer to
" a state of things anterior to its own date "
(Reeves) ; it is obviously very incomplete,
even as a list of foundations of what may be
called King David's era ; and, except in the
case of Bishoprics, it omits all mention of
monasteries of Irish date and type, as e. g.
Deer and Turriff. There seem also to be
mistakes in it. E. g. in respect to Roxburgh,
where was a Franciscan monastery from about
A.D. 1235 ; and Jedburgh, which belonged to

A ugustinian Canons ; and Perth, where was a
Dominican monastery, founded A.D. 1231,
but no nunnery. See Spotisvvood (Religious
Houses, &c.). The founders' names, and the
dates, have been added in [ ]. All of them,
with one exception, and setting aside the three
cases which appear to be errors, fall within the
period between Malcolm Canmore and William
the Lion, A.D. 1070-1 178.

b The S. is followed, here and throughout,
by an unintelligible mark of abbreviation.
The writer evidently intended to add, but in
most cases did not know, the name of the
Saint to whom each monastery was dedicated.

APPENDIX D.

SEPULCHRAL CHRISTIAN INSCRIPTIONS IN THE ISLE OF MAN.

Christian inscriptions in the Isle of Man are wholly Runic and of
Norwegian date and origin, although abounding, says Professor Munch, in
"grammatical errors," which arise no doubt from a strong admixture of
Celtic elements, while " perhaps one half of the names occurring in them "
are not Norwegian but Gaelic.

The following list is from Professor Munch's notes to his edition of the
Chron. MannicE (Christiania, i860, pp. xx-xxiv.) ; the first two, marked A,
being of a different character, and " perhaps even of a different period,"
from those marked B. The transliteration, and the translation, are those of
Professor Munch, aided by Messrs. Gumming and Worsaae.

« Radulfus Novellus (Ralph Newel) was at
York at the consecration of Robert of S. An-
drew's A.D. 1128; was sent by Archbishop
Thurstin as his " suffragan" to the army that
fought the battle of the Standard A.D.
1 1 38, and made a stirring harangue on
the eve of the battle {Jo. Hagjdst., Ric.
Hagtdst., Ailr. Rieval. De Bella Slandardii,
H. Hunt., Hoveden, Brompton, &c.). A.D. ii 43
(in Sim. Dun. it is 1 144), with the abbats of

S. Mary's at York, and of Whitby, he repre-
sented the Bishop of Durham at the council of
Winchester which assented to the election of
William Fitzherbert to the see of York {Sim.
Dun., Hist. Contin. in an. 1 144, Twysd. 273).
There is no evidence that he ever actually
went to the Orkneys. See the letters of

Before A.D. 1115. Foundatio?z of the sees of Moray and of Hunkeld^.

" The foundation charter of Scone Abbey
is witnessed by '■ Oregorius Episcopus," and
" Corniac Episcopus," and by no other Bishops,
S. Andrew's being then vacant. A grant of
Alexander to Scone, A.D. 1124, is attested by
Robert " elect of S. Andrew's" (elected A.D.
1124, in which year also King Alexander died)
and by Gregory and Cormac, but Gregory is
here designated " Episcopus de Moravia." And
King David's charter to Dunfcrmlin (A. D.
II 28) is witnessed by Robert of S. Andrew's,

John of Glasgow, Cormac Bishop of Dunkeld,
Gregorv of Moray, and Macbeth of Ross.
See Lih. de Scon, pp. 3,4; Lib. de Dumferm-
lyn, pp. 3, 4. It seems to follow that the sees
of the great northern Mormaerdom of Moray,
and of the great lay and hereditary abbey of
Dunkeld, existed before A.D. 1 1 15. Dean
Mylne dates the foundation of Dunkeld A.D.
1 1 27, and attributes it to King David (see

probably put into the mouth of the King by a According to Simeon, Turgot died " II. kal.

quibus Scotis prxtereundum non est, quia juxta decretum beati patris
Gregorii suffraganei erant Cantuariensis Archiepiscopi. In ilia namque
saepedicta epistola'^, postquam de distinctione Lundoniensis et Ebora-
censis Episcopi, unde movctur tanta contentio, satis actum est, beatus
Gregorius ad Augustinum ita subjungit dicens, "Tua vero fraternitas
non solum eos Episcopos quos ordinaverit, neque hos tantummodo qui
per £borac£e Episcopum fuerint ordinati, sed etiam omnes Britanniae
sacerdotes, habeat, Deo Domino nostro Jesu Christo auctore, sub-
jectos." Et idem in Responsionibus^ ad eundem ita, " In Galliarum
Episcopis nullam tibi auctoritatem tribuimus, Britanniarum vero
omnes Episcopos tu« fraternitati committimus, ut indocti doceantur,
infirmi persuasione roborentur, perversi auctoritate corrigantur."
Britannias siquidem pluraliter appellat, propter diversas ejusdem
insulas provincias et linguarum divisiones. Beda namque, cum Bri-
tannia qualitatem describeret^, ''Hoec," inquit, "insula in prsesenti,
juxta numerum librorum quibus Lex Divina scripta est, quinque
gentium Unguis unam eandemque summ^ veritatis et verse sublimi-
tatis scientiam scrutatur et confitetur, Anglorum videlicet, Britonum,
Scotorum, Pictorum, et Latinorum, quse meditatione Scripturarum
caeteris omnibus est facta communis." Idem in tertio ejusdem
Historise libro% " Denique," inquit, " omnes nationes et provincias
Britannise, qua2 in quatuor linguas, id est, Britonum, Pictorum, Scoto-
rum, et Anglorum, divisje sunt, in ditionem Oswaldus accepit." Et
saepenumero idem in eodcm volumine evidenter distinguit inter Scotos
qui Britanniam, et illos qui incolunt Hiberniam. Episcopos igitur
Scotise beatus Gregorius suftVaganeos deputavit Cantuariensis Ecclesix :
illos sane duntaxat ilia Apostolicse sedis auctoritate decernens, qui
ante beati Augustini adventum in Angliam et olim conversis Britoni-
bus et Scotis instituebantur antistites ; de quibus, ut ibi Icgitur, plu-
rimis Augustinus in exordio Episcopatus sui convocavit ad colloquium
suum, fraterna admonitione suadens, &c. &c. ^ "^ "^ Et de Laurentio
successore Augustini Beda ita subsequitur dicens f, "Denique," inquit,
" non solum novas quae de Anglis erat collecta Ecclesise curam gerebat,
sed et veterum Britannix incolarum, necnon et Scotorum qui Hiber-
niam insulam Britannise proximam incolunt, populis pastoralem im-
penderc solicitudinem curabat." Quam videlicet pastoralis curas soli-
citudinem nunquam postea Cantuariensis Ecclesia tam universse
Britannias quam Hiberniae bencficio simul et primatu impendere
cessavit ; nisi modo, quando a novis et omnium veterum acutissimis

Eboracensis Archiepiscopus aut Lindisfarnensem sufFraganeum habuit
nee Glasguensem. ... At vero Glasguensi breviter intimandum, quod
est antiquorum Britonum Episcopus, quos beatus pater Gregorius
singulatim Episcopo Cantuariensi subjectos fore decrevit. Cujus
videlicet Ecclesi^e Episcopus, sicut a majoribus natu illorum traditur,
usque ad hsec Normannorum tempora vel ab Episcopo Scotorum vel
Gualensium Britonum consecrari solebat. * * * * Is itaque (Thomas
junior, Archiepiscopus Eboracensis) quendam Britonem Glasguensi

prsedictum est, si antiquorum Britonum Episcopus est, secundum
beati patris Gregorii decreta Cantuariensis Ecclesi^e sufFraganeus est ;
quodsi forte propter provinciarum viciniam, licet mutato et loco et
populo, idem Pictorum Episcopus debet putari, nihilominus Ecclesije
Cantuariensi suffragatur, utpote institutus et creatus a Theodoro

Beda referente ante adventum beati Augustini in Britannia primus
Scotorum et Pictorum populis Christum prsedicavit, et venerabilis

venitur) non iste est Candidse Cas« Episcopus, quem Theodoras
instituit, sed unus de illis antiquis Britanniarum Episcopis fuit, qui

revertitur. [ed. Fulman, 164.]

Eadmer, Hist. Nov. V. — Veniens itaque frater ipse (Eadmerus) in
Scotiam, mox tcrtio die adventus sui, illo qui fuit dies festivitatis
gloriosissimorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli, suscepit, eligente cam
clero et populo terrx, et concedente Rege, pontificatum Sancti
Andreae Apostoli Chcnrimuntensis. Quse res ita disponente Deo
acta est, ut nee virga pastorali vel annulo a Rege investitus fuerit,
nee hominium ei fecerit. Lsetus itaque dies habitus est, atque in
laudem Dei alacriter expensus. In crastino autem Rex, cum electo
de consecratione illius secretins agens, et modis omnibus eum a
pontifice Eboracensi consecrari exhorrens, ubi, eo docente, accepit
auctoritatem Eeelesise Cantuariensis ex antique toti Britanniae prae-
minere, et idcireo ipso disponente se Cantuariae Episcopalem bene-
dictionem velle requirere, conturbatus animo surgens discessit ad eo.
Nolebat enim Eeelesiam Cantuariensem anteferri Ecclesiae Sancti
Andreae de Scotia. Vocans itaque Wilhelmum monachum Sancti
Edmundi, qui post Thurgodum eidem Episcopatui praepositus penc
ilium evacuaverat, prsecepit ut more solito in Episcopatu se haberet,
exspoliato noviter investito. Expleto autem post haee mense integro,

" The assertion of the York Chronicler,
that the Church of S. Andrew was even at
that period seeking to be made <a»metropolitan
see, and to obtain a pall, — a measure unpalat-
able to the other Scottish Bishops themselves,
staved off for two centuries and a half by the
device of a Conservator Bishop in AD. 1225,
and not finally accomplished until A.D. 1472,
— is proved to be correct by the Leg. S. A?idr.,
assigned to A.D. 1165 (in Ussher, Aiitiq. Brit.
Eccl. Op. VI. 189, and Skene, 140), affirming

that King Hungus founded S. Andrew's, " ut sit
caput et mater omnium Ecclesiaruni que sunt
in regno Pictorum (Scottorum, Ussher)." And
more precisely still in the longer form of the docu-
ment in Ussher — "Ex hac itaque civitate Archi-
episcopatus esse debet totius Scotiae, ubi Apo-
stolica sedes est ; nee absque consilio seniorum
istius loci ullus Episcopus in Scotia debet ordi-
nari : haec est Roma secunda a prima : &c." —

HovEDEN, Chron. — Deinde ambo Reges perrexerunt Eboracum;
ubi occurrerunt eis Willelmus Rex Scotorum, et David frater ejus,
fere cum universis Episcopis et Abbatibus et aliis magnatibus terra-
rum suarum. Et ibi renovata est pax et finalis concordia, quam
prsedictus Rex Scotioe fecerat cum domino suo Rege Anglias patre,
apud Falesiam, dum esset in captione ejus, et coram Rege tilio, et
Rogero Eboracensi Archiepiscopo, et Hugone Dunelmensi Episcopo,
et Comitibus et Baronibus Anglias j et coram Episcopis et Abbati-
bus, Comitibus et Baronibus, de regno Scotias, in ecclesia S. Petri
Eboraci lecta est et concessa in hunc modum.

Haec est Conventio et Finis quem Willelmus Rex Scotise fecit cum
domino suo Rege Henrico filio Matildse Imperatricis.

" Willelmus Rex Scotiae devenit homo ligius domini Regis contra
omnem hominem, de Scotia et de omnibus aliis terris suis; et fideli-
tatem ci fecit ut ligio domino suo, sicut alii homines sui ipsi facere

Solent. Similit£r fecit homagium Henrico Regi, filio suo, salva fide
domini Regis patris sui. Omnes vero Episcopi, Abbates, et clerus
terrae Regis Scotiar, et successores sui, facient domino Regi sicut ligio
domino fidelitatem, de quibus habere voluerit, sicut alii Episcopi sui
ipsi facere solcnt, et Henrico Regi filio suo et hseredibus eorum.
Concessit autem Rex Scotias, et David frater ejus, et Barones, et alii
homines sui, domino Regi, quod Ecclesia Scotise talem subjectionem
amodo faciet Ecclesise Anglise, qualem illi facere debet, et solebat
tempore Regum AnglivE prsedecessorum suorum. Similiter Ricardus
Episcopus Sancti Andrese, et Ricardus Episcopus de Dunkelden, et
Gaufridus Abbas de Dunfermelin, et Herebertus Prior de Coldingham,
concesserunt quod etiam Ecclesia Anglicana illud jus habeat in
Ecclesia Scotise, quod de jure habere debet, et quod ipsi non
erunt contra jus Anglicanae Ecclesise. Et de [hac concessione''],
sicut ligiam fidelitatem domino Regi et Henrico filio suo fece-
runt, eos inde assecuraverunt. Hoc idem facient alii Episcopi
et clerus Scotite per conventionem inde inter dominum Regem
et Regem Scotise et David fratrem suum et Barones suos factam.
Comites etiam et Barones et alii homines de terra Regis Scotiae,
de quibus dominus Rex habere voluerit, facient ei homagium contra
omnem homincm, et fidelitatem ut ligio domino suo, sicut alii
homines sui facere ei solent, et Henrico Regi filio suo, et hasredibus
suis, salva fide domini Regis patris sui. Similiter hseredes Regis
Scotise, ct Baronum et hominum suorum, homagium et ligantiam
facient hxredibus domini Regis contra omnem hominem. Prseterea
Rex Scotiae et homines sui nullum amodo fugitivum de terra domini
Regis pro felonia receptabunt in Scotia, vel in alia terra sua, nisi
voluerit venire ad rectum in curia domini Regis, et stare judicio
curias. Sed Rex Scotia et homines sui, quam citius poterunt, cum
capient, et domino Regi reddent, vel justitiariis aut baillivis suis in
Anglia. Si autem de terra Regis Scotiae aliquis fugitivus fuerit pro
felonia in Anglia, nisi voluerit venire ad rectum in curia domini
Regis Scotix, vel in curia domini Regis, ct stare judicio curi-^e, non
receptabitur in terra Regis, sed libciabitur hominibus Regis Scotiae
per ballivos domini Regis, ubi inventus fuerit. Praeterca homines
domini Regis habebunt terras suas, quas habebant et habere debent,
de domino Rcge, et de hominibus suis, et de Rege Scotise, et de homi-
nibus suis. Et homines Regis Scotise habebunt terras suas, quas habe-
bant et habere debent, de domino Rege et de hominibus suis. Pro

ista vero conventione et fine firmiter observando domino Regi, et
Henrico filio suo, et haeredibus suis, a Rege Scotiae, et haeredibus suis,
liberavit Rex Scotiae domino Regi castellum de Rokesburc, et castel-
lum de Berewic, et castellum de Geddewrde, et castellum Puellarum,
et castellum de Striveline, in misericordia domini Regis. Et ad
custodienda castella ilia assignabit Rex Scotiae de rcdditu suo mensu-
rabiliter ad voluntatem domini Regis. Prseterea pro praedicta con-
ventione et fine exsequendo liberavit Rex Scotise domino Regi David
fratrem suum in obsidem, et Comitem Dunecan, et Comitem Walde-
vum, et Comitem Gillebertum, et Comitem de Anegus, et Ricardum
de Morevile Constabularium, et Nes filium Willielmi, et Ricardum

scopi et Barones et homines terrze suae, qui non affuerunt quando

HovEDEN, Chron. — Ad praedictum vero concilium apud Northamtun
celebratum, venit Willelmus Rex Scottorum per mandatum domini
Regis, adducens secum Ricardum Episcopum Sancti Andrese, et Goce-
linum Episcopum de Glascou, et Ricardum Episcopum de Dunkelden,
et Christianum Episcopum de Candida Casa, et Andream Episcopum de
Catenesse, et Symonem de Touni Episcopum de Murevia, et cseteros
Episcopos et Abbates et Priores regni sui. Qui cum coram domino

quam ei debebant, et per sacramentum fidelitatis quod ei fecerant,
quod eandem subjectionem facerent Anglicanae Ecclesiae quam facere
debebant, et solebant tempore Regum Anglise prjedecessorum suorum.
Cui responderunt, quod ipsi nunquam subjectionem fecerant Angli-
canae Ecclesi^, nee facere debent. Ad hoc autem respondit Rogerus
Eboracensis Archiepiscopus, affirmans quod Glascuenses Episcopi et
Episcopi Candidas Casae subjecti fuerant Eboracensi Ecclesise tempore
Archiepiscoporum praedecessorum suorum. Et super hoc privilegia
Romanorum pontificum sufficienter instructa praemonstravit. Ad
quod Jocelinus Glascuensis Episcopus respondit, " Glascuensis Ec-
clesia specialis filia est Romanae Ecclesix, et ab omni subjectione
Archiepiscoporum sive Episcoporum exempta; et si Eboracensis
Ecclesia aliquo tempore dominationem habuit in Ecclesia Glascuensi,
constat illam demeruisse aliquam de caetero in ea habere domina-
tionem." Et quia Ricardus Cantuariensis Archiepiscopus nitebatur,
quod Ecclesia Scottica Cantuariensi subjiceretur Ecclesise, effecit
adversus Regem Angliae, quod ipse permisit Episcopos Scotise in
terras suas redire, nulla subjectione facta Anglicanae Ecclesiae,

eidem Episcopo dedissemus, et eas in quibus processus rei continetur,
acceptaque a domino Rege Scottorum licentia, recedere cum festina-
tione vellemus ; dominus Rex me Dolensem electum diligenter et
afFectuose rogavit, ut per dominum Johannem Episcopum transitum
facerem, et ei ex parte sua Dunkeldensem Episcopatum, cum reddi-
tibus quos antea in Episcopatu Sancti Andreae habuerat, cum aug-
mento quadraginta marcarum annuatim percipiendarum, cancellariam

suis omnia ablata redditurum, praeter hoc solum, quod ad manus ejus
devenisse sciebat j eosque in plenitudinem suae gratiae recepturum,
sicut antea fuerat ei oblatum. Volebat tamen, quod idem Johannes
Episcopus omnia instrumenta sua combureret, quas super facto Sancti
Andreae fuerant a piae recordationis Alexandro przedecessore vestro
obtenta. Permittebat quoque, quod Hugo Episcopus ad Glascuensem
Episcopatum transferretur, si aliter Episcopus Johannes consentire
non vellet j et si fieri non posset, tamen concederet quod obtulerat,
sed Episcopum Johannem non ita diligeret, nee ei plenam gratiam
redderet. Quse omnia cum praesentia domini Hugonis Dunelmensis
Episcopi obtulissem domino Johanni, benigne concessit, dicens quod
nunquam Hugonem Episcopum in Ecclesia Sancti Andreae permit-
teret remanere. Volebatque quod instrumenta praedicta in aliquo
loco reponerentur, ita quod nunquam sibi contra voluntatem regiam
eis uti liceret. Sic igitur ad Regis prjesentiam redeuntibus nobis,
Episcopo Johanne prope Rokesburg exspectante, dominus Rex pro-
posuit nobis, quod multum ei placeret si Hugo Episcopus posset in
Ecclesia Sancti Andreje remanere, et rogabat me ut Episcopum ad
hoc inducere laborarcm ; et cum ego dicerem ei, quod nunquam eum
de caetero super hoc rogarem, quia non poteram in hac parte pro-
ficere, dixit ; " Bene credo, quod ex quo dominus Johannes ad pacem
et dilectionem meam redit, hoc consideratione meae dilectionis et ad
precum mearum instantiam sustinebit, et de eo libenter cum eo
loquerer;" et rogavit me Rex, ut ei consulerem quod veniret loqui
cum eo. Missis igitur clericis Regis ad Episcopum Johannem, re-
spondit quod non veniret, quia a quibusdam consiliariis domini
Regis se audisse, quod dominus Rex semper ad hoc omnimodis nite-
batur, ut Hugo in Episcopatu Sancti Andreae remaneret ; et si venire
vellet, illi non poterant ci securum prsestare conductum. Cumque
illi in hsec verba redissent, dominus Rex quendam Episcopum, ab-

nunquam ad Regem venturum nisi primo jurarent quod dominus Rex

appears by the lines themselves) by one Si-

King Alexander, necessarily Alexander I., A.D.
1 107- 1 1 24, and before the death of his
Queen (Sibylla, ob. A.D. 1 122), under the
direction of " William," supposed to be the
Bishop William of Man, who was succeeded
by Bishop Wymund, A.D. 1109x1114 (see

written A.D. 1 107 x 1 1 14. See Reeves (as
above. Pre/, p. xxx.). Inchcolm was not
founded by Alexander until A.D. 1 123, so
that Hy must have been Simeon's monastery.
They are given here as shewing the continued
connection of Hy with Scottish Kings, even
after the island had been (at any rate nomi-

" From Bishop Forbcs's Kalendars of Scot- from the MSS. of Father Marianus Brockie of

tish Saints, Append, to Pre/, no. HI. pp. Ivi- S. James' Monastery at Ratisbon. Itwas"pre-

a Scottish Monasticon) are now at Blairs R. C.
College, near Aberdeen {Report 0/ Hist. MSS.
Commission, II. 201). The Litany as it
stands is (if genuine) certainly interpolated ;
and at best is a pra:-Reformation but still
i6th century version of a possibly genuine
earlier Culdee document. Keledei are alleged
to have been still at Dunkeld in H. of Sile-
grave's list of c. A.D. 1272. As the Litany
now stands, it prays for King Cyric (A.D.
873-89^) as though he were alive, yet com-
memorates King Constantine (A.D. QOO-952),
and more still King David \. (A.D. 1124-

1 153), as though already dead. And it betrays a
date after Boece (commencement of 1 6th cen-
tury) by mentioning Crathiinthus (ste Bishop
Forbes, who gives also other internal evidence
of a late date). On the whole, Bishop Forbes's
conclusion seems fairly probable {Pref. to
Kale/id., Ct'c, pp xxxiv. .xxxv; — that in its
present form " it is based upon an older docu-
ment," but belongs as it stands to the time
of Bishop Elphinstone of Aberdeen and Bishop
George Brown of Dunkeld (A.D. 1484 15 15).
If so, it is the latest instance extant of any
record mentionhig Keledei in Scotland.
