130 SCOTTISH ANNALS
as by a certain right the ordination and subjection
of the
primate of the Scots ; but on the contrary the latter asserts
that she owes nothing by any right of antiquity or custom.

Meanwhile l a certain monk of Durham, named Turgot, was
appointed by Alexander, king of Scotland, and by the clergy
and the people to the bishopric of St. Andrews of Scotland.
And when his consecration was delayed more than was
expedient, both because Thomas, elected archbishop of the
church of York, had not yet been consecrated, 2 and because of
certain other reasons which it is tedious to relate, Ranulf,
bishop of Durham, proposed to consecrate the elected [of St.
the bishops
of Scotland and of the Orkney isles 3
assisting him.
But because he knew that this could not properly be done
without the consent and authority of the bishop of Canterbury,
he reported the matter to him by a certain knight, and requested
that [Turgot] might be consecrated by his counsel and
concession.
In answer [Anselm] wrote to him this letter :
"
Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury, to Ranulf, bishop of
Andrews] at York, in the presence of this Thomas ;
Durham, greeting.
" You have reported to me by a certain knight, Scolland by
name, that you wished the bishop elect of the church of St.
Andrews of Scotland to be consecrated, before the archbishop
elect of York was consecrated : and that you wished this to be
done by my counsel and by my concession.
"
But this neither ought to nor can canonically be done,
either by that archbishop elect or by another through him,
until he himself become archbishop by canonical consecration.
