And there the aforesaid Vivian, legate of the apostolic see,
4
came to the court of the king of England and on the ;
day
after the Lord's Ascension obtained of the lord king letters of
his protection and safe-conduct, and returned to Scotland to
perform his legation.
And on the approach of the feast of saint Peter ad Vincula 5
the aforesaid Vivian came to the castle of Maidens with the
bishops and ecclesiastics of the kingdom of Scotland, to hold
there a council of the statutes of the church.
And in this council he suspended from episcopal office
Christian bishop of Whithorn, 6 because he refused to come to
that council. For he said that his episcopate pertained to the
legation of Roger, archbishop of York, who had consecrated
him as bishop, according to the ancient custom of the predecessors
of each and ; Roger himself, archbishop of York, had
been constituted legate of his province by Alexander, the chief
pontiff, and he claimed as belonging to his right the subjection
of the bishopric of Candida Casa, which is also called the
bishopric of Whithorn in Galloway. 7
Now when this council had been held, the aforesaid Vivian
returned to Rome by mandate of Alexander, the chief pontiff,
1 1st July.

Cf. Hoved., ii, 135 : But the bishop of Whithorn did not accept
this suspension, being protected by the support of Roger, archbishop of
York, whose suffragan he was."
York made good its claim to supremacy over the church of Galloway.
