Bishop Of Dunkeld
The Bishop of Dunkeld is the ecclesiastical head of the Diocese of Dunkeld, one of the largest and more important of Scotland's 13 medieval bishoprics, whose first recorded bishop is an early 12th-century cleric named Cormac. However, the first known abbot dates to the 10th century, and it is often assumed that in Scotland in the period before the 12th century, the roles of both bishop and abbot were one and the same. The Bishopric of Dunkeld ceased to exist as a Catholic institution after the Scottish Reformation but continued as a royal institution into the 17th century. The diocese was restored (with a different boundary) by Pope Leo XIII on 4 March 1878; it is now based in the city of Dundee. List of known abbots Dunkeld Abbey was an offshoot of Iona, perhaps founded in the early 9th century, in the reign of Caustantín mac Fergusa, King of the Picts. It is not clear when its abbots got independence from the Abbots of Iona, but a notable event is the alleged transfer of t ...

Roman Catholic Diocese Of Dunkeld
The Diocese of Dunkeld () is a diocese of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in southern Scotland. The current bishop of the diocese is Andrew McKenzie, having been appointed as the diocese’s eleventh bishop on 27 May 2024. History It is thought that the diocese was constituted as far back as the middle of the ninth century. The first occupant was styled Bishop of Fortriu, the name by which the kingdom of the northern Picts was then known. This bishop was also styled Abbot of Dunkeld, perhaps holding jurisdiction, formerly enjoyed by Iona, over the other Columban monasteries in Scotland.Hunter-Blair, Oswald. "Diocese of Dunkeld."

Richard Of Dunkeld
Richard (died 1178) was a 12th-century bishop of Dunkeld. He got the bishopric of Dunkeld, the second most prestigious bishopric in Scotland-north-of-the-Forth, after serving the King of Scots. He was ''capellanus Regis Willelmi'', that is, chaplain of King William I of Scotland, and had probably been the chaplain to William during the reign of King Malcolm IV. He was consecrated at St Andrews on 10 August 1170, by Richard, former chaplain of King Malcolm IV but now the bishop of St Andrews. Richard continued to have a close relationship with King William I, and was in Normandy with the king in December 1174 when the Treaty of Falaise was signed. He died in 1178. He allegedly died at Cramond in Midlothian and was buried on Inchcolm Inchcolm (from the Scottish Gaelic "Innis Choluim", meaning Columba's Island) is an island in the Firth of Forth in Scotland.

Gregoir Of Dunkeld
Gregoir, Bishop of Dunkeld (died 1169), served as Bishop of Dunkeld in the middle of the 12th century. Before being raised to the bishopric by King David I of Scotland, he was the abbot of Dunkeld. King David entrusted certain lands to Gregory, who was to hold them until there were canons on the island of St. Colme's Inch, a charge accomplished before 1169. The lands so entrusted included the island itself, “Kincarnathar” (probably Nether Kincairney), and Donibristle. Gregory appears in a great number of charters dating to the reigns of David I and Máel Coluim IV of Scotland, the earliest of which may date to 1135, although 1146 is the first firm date, when he appears alongside Bishop Andreas of Caithness in the Gaelic ''notitiae'' on the ''Book of Deer The ''Book of Deer'' () (Cambridge University Library, MS.

John of Atholl was a bishop mentioned only in the ''Orkneyinga Saga'' as being sent by King David I of Scotland on a diplomatic mission to Orkney.

Bishop Of Argyll
The Bishop of Argyll or Bishop of Lismore was the ecclesiastical head of the Diocese of Argyll, one of Scotland's 13 medieval bishoprics. It was created in 1200, when the western half of the territory of the Bishopric of Dunkeld was formed into the new diocese. The bishops were based at Lismore. The Bishopric of Argyll, like other Scottish bishoprics, passed into the keeping of the Scottish Episcopal Church after the Scottish Reformation. List of Bishops of Argyll In 1689, episcopacy was permanently abolished in the Scottish Church. The line of bishops continued within the Scottish Episcopal Church, where the title was often combined with others. In 1847, Alexander Ewing became the first to bear the title Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, and, in 1878, Angus MacDonald became the first Roman Catholic bishop to bear that same title.

Malcolm III Of Scotland
Malcolm III (; ; –13 November 1093) was List of Scottish monarchs, King of Alba from 1058 to 1093. He was later nicknamed "Canmore" (, , understood as "great chief"). Malcolm's long reign of 35 years preceded the beginning of the Scoto-Norman age. Henry I of England and Eustace III, Count of Boulogne were his sons-in-law, making him the maternal grandfather of Empress Matilda, William Adelin and Matilda I, Countess of Boulogne. All three of them were prominent in English politics during the 12th century. Malcolm's kingdom did not extend over the full territory of modern Scotland: many of the islands and the land north of the River Oykel were Scandinavian, and south of the Firth of Forth there were numerous independent or semi-independent realms, including the kingdom of Strathclyde and rulers of Bamburgh, Bamburgh, and it is not certain what if any power the Scots exerted there on Malcolm's accession. Throughout his reign Malcolm III led at least five invasions into Kingdom o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
House Of Dunkeld
The House of Dunkeld (in or "of the Caledonians") is a historiographical and genealogical construct to illustrate the clear succession of Scottish kings from 1034 to 1040 and from 1058 to 1286. The line is also variously referred to by historians as "The Canmores" and "MacMalcolm". Dynastically more or less in the wake of Cenél nGabráin of Dál Riata, "race of Fergus", as "house" was an originally Celtic concept to express one of the two rival leading clans of early medieval Scotland, whose founding father is king Fergus Mor of Dalriada. This Ferguside royal clan had disputed the crown (of Dalriada, then that of Alba) against the Cenél Loairn, the later House of Moray for the preceding four or more centuries. The ''Cenél nGabráin'' were represented by the House of Alpin before Dunkeld. Sir Iain Moncreiffe made the case that Crínán of Dunkeld was actually a kinsman of Saint Columba and thus a member of the Irish Cenél Conaill, a royal branch of the Northern Uí Néil ...

Crínán Of Dunkeld
Crínán of Dunkeld, also called Crinan the Thane (c. 975–1045), was the erenagh, or hereditary lay-abbot, of Dunkeld Abbey and, similarly to Irish "royal- and warrior-abbots" of the same period like the infamous case of Fedelmid mac Crimthainn, led armies into battle and was very likely also the Mormaer of Atholl during the events later fictionalized in William Shakespeare's verse drama '' The Tragedy of Macbeth''. Although he does not appear in Shakespeare's play, he was the legitimately married son-in-law of King Malcolm II of Scotland, the father of King Duncan I of Scotland, and the grandfather of King Malcolm III of Scotland. Through his far more famous grandson, for whose claim to the throne of Scotland the abbot laid down his life in battle against his nephew, the Scottish High King Macbeth, Abbot Crínán is the ancestor of every subsequent monarch of the House of Dunkeld. His descendants would reign over the Kingdom of Scotland until the accidental death of King Ale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
