of York pronounced the sentence of excommunication
upon the person of the aforesaid king of Scotland ; and he
and Hugh of Durham, by mandate of Alexander, chief pontiff,
interdicted the whole land of the king of Scotland, on this

abbots, priors and other ecclesiastics to uphold that sentence

Saturday, the 21st of November, Roger, arch-
bishop of York] departed from the world. And Hugh, bishop
of Durham, buried his body, . . . William, king of Scotland,
remaining under the sentence of excommunication which the

he sent to Rome Joscelin, bishop of Glasgow, and Arnold, 3
abbot of Melrose, and other wise and discreet .ecclesiastics of
his kingdom, to Lucius, the chief pontiff, that he himself
should be absolved from the aforesaid sentence of excommunication,
and his land from interdict ; and that if by any
means it could be done, John bishop of St. Andrews should
be deposed.
