Robert Crichton (bishop)
Robert Crichton (died 1585) was a 16th-century Scottish Catholic cleric. Biography He was the son of Sir Patrick Crichton, Laird of Cranstoun. Robert was a younger son and chose an ecclesiastical career. From 1517 he was Provost of St Giles Collegiate Church. Additionally, he was Precentor of Dunkeld Cathedral between 1530 and 1534, and in 1532 almost took part in an exchange with Walter Maxwell for the Chancellorship of the diocese of Moray. Crichton was the nephew of George Crichton, Bishop of Dunkeld, and in 1543 had been appointed coadjutor and successor to his uncle. As it turned out, 1543 was the year before Bishop George's death, and so when the latter event took place in January 1544, Robert regarded himself as the rightful bishop. However, this had taken place without the consent of the Scottish government.Dowden, ''Bishops of Scotland'', pp. 88-92; Watt, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', p. 100. The government thus ignored the appointment, and placed John Hamilton in charge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
