FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 165
Because he was bishop of no town, at one time adhering
to the bishop of York and again to the bishop of Durham,
he was supported by them and regarded as the vicar of either
in episcopal ministries. 1
By these, then, Robert was consecrated, but was not
allowed by the Scots, so it is said, to make any profession
of any kind of subjection or obedience to the church of York
or to its bishop, although he was a canon of York.

THURSTAN OF YORK, A GENERAL LETTER. IN RAINE'S YORK,
VOL. Ill, PP. 51-52. 2
Thurstan, by God's grace archbishop of York, to all sons
of holy church, greeting.
Be it known to all, both present and to come, that I have,
for love of God and of the venerable king David of Scotland,
irregularly 3 consecrated Robert as bishop of St. Andrews,
without profession and obedience, saving the complaint of
the church of York and the just right of the church of St.
Andrew ; and if ever an archbishop of York wish to speak
i
of God, to his beloved sons in Christ, Eistein and Sigurd, kings of Norway,
greeting and apostolic benediction.
"... Therefore, dearest sons in Christ, we visit your
affection with
apostolic letters, and ask you, and admonish you in the Lord, to receive
kindly our son the bishop of Orkney, elected, as we understand, canonically,
and consecrated according to the custom of the church by his metropolis of
York ; and to protect him from wrong, and to cause him to remain more
peacefully in his episcopate." c\ '!
So also a letter from pope Honorius II to Sigurd of Norway, in December
1125: Raine's York, iii, 50-51: "Bishop Honorius, servant of the
servants of God, to his beloved son in Christ, Sigurd, illustrious king of
Norway, greeting and apostolic benediction.
"
It has been brought to our ears that our venerable brother Thomas,
archbishop of York, consecrated Ralph as bishop of Orkney. But afterwards,
as we have learned, another has been intruded there. But either
one or none can obtain the episcopal chair ; and therefore we command thy
Nobility by the present writings to restore the episcopal see, Orkney to wit
to Ralph above-named, along with the lands and its other appurtenances, as
to the proper bishop and pastor of that : place and henceforth to keep him
in thy care, lest thou incur God's wrath for it.
"
Given at the Lateran, the fifth before the Ides of December [9th December]."
