EGOLESS DUNELMENSIS, 135. 1<br />

In the year from the Lord's <strong>in</strong>carnation 1175, <strong>in</strong> which k<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Henry the elder received allegiance and fealty from the Scots<br />

at York, Dugal, son of Somerled, and Stephen his chapla<strong>in</strong>,<br />

and Adam de Stanford received the brotherhood of our church<br />

2<br />

at the feet of St. Cuthbert on the vigil of St. Bartholomew ;<br />

and the same Dugal offered t<strong>here</strong> two golden r<strong>in</strong>gs to St. Cuthbert,<br />

And to the aforesaid council, 4 which was held at North-<br />

ampton, came William, k<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>Scotland</strong>, by mandate of the<br />

lord k<strong>in</strong>g and ; brought with him Richard, bishop of St. Andrews,<br />

and Joscel<strong>in</strong>, bishop of Glasgow, and Richard, bishop of<br />

Dunkeld, and Christian, bishop of Galloway, and Andrew,<br />

bishop of Caithness, and Simon de Thouni, bishop of Moray,<br />

and the abbots and priors of his land, to make subjection to the<br />

church of England.<br />

Then the lord k<strong>in</strong>g demanded of them that, by the faith<br />

which they owed him, and by the oath which they had sworn<br />

to him, they should make to the church of England the same<br />

subjection as they ought to make, and used to make <strong>in</strong> the time<br />

of the k<strong>in</strong>gs of England his predecessors.<br />

And they replied to him that their predecessors never made<br />

any subjection to the church of England, and that neither ought<br />

they to make any to her.<br />

To <strong>this</strong> replied Roger, archbishop of York, that the bishops<br />

of <strong>Scotland</strong> had made subjection to the metropolitan church of<br />

York, <strong>in</strong> the time of their predecessors and ; expressly the<br />

bishop of Glasgow, and certa<strong>in</strong> other bishops of <strong>Scotland</strong> 5 and<br />

And <strong>in</strong> support of <strong>this</strong> he showed documents of privilege satisfactorily drawn<br />

up."
