FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 277
BENEDICT OF PETERBOROUGH, GESTA HENRICI II, VOL. I,
pp. 276-277. !
Meanwhile 2 William, king of Scotland, by command of
the king of England landed in Normandy at Barfleur, to
speak with him about Matthew, bishop of Aberdeen, and
about John, bishop of St. Andrews, whom he had driven out
from Scotland.
It was agreed therefore by
admonition and counsel of
the lord king of England between the aforesaid king of Scotland
and the above-named bishops in this fashion : that
the above-named Matthew, bishop of Aberdeen, should return
to his own see freely and without any opposition, with the safeconduct
of the king of Scotland. 3
And John, who had been consecrated as bishop of St.
Andrews, in order to have the goodwill of his lord, the king
of Scotland, conceded that he would give up the episcopate
of St. Andrews, if he were permitted to choose for himself
which bishopric he would of the kingdom of Scotland and
;
if the king of Scotland would give him, in addition to the
bishopric which he should choose, his 4
chancellorship.
And thus by counsel of the king of England was harmony
made between them, if the lord pope should grant that this
change of episcopal sees might take place. . . .
The king of Scotland therefore sent his messengers to
Alexander, the chief pontiff, asking that this agreement between
him and his bishop might be confirmed and permanently
established. But he could not obtain it from him. . .
And . . . [king Henry] took ship, and landed in England
on the seventh 5 before the Kalends of August, at Portsmouth
likewise ; also William, king of Scotland.
