BENEDICT OF PETERBOROUGH, VOL. II, PP. 234-235. x
" Bishop Clement, servant of the servants of God, to his
dearest son in Christ, William, illustrious king of the Scots,
greeting and apostolic benediction.
" While all subjects to the yoke of Christ ought to find in
the apostolic see patronage, and honour, and favour ; yet it is
befitting that those should more especially be cherished by the
defence of protection, whose faith and devotion has been tried
in many things ; that they may be provoked so much the more
to the favour of love for it, and be brought under a so much
devouter affection of reverence for it, as they know that they
have more surely attained a pledge of its benevolence and grace.
"
For this cause, dearest son in Christ, considering the
reverence and devotion which we know that thou hast had from
times long ago for the Roman church, we have thought fit to
decree in the charter of the present writing that the Scottish
church owes subjection only to the apostolic see, whose spiritual
daughter she is, with mediation of none. And in it are known
to be these episcopal sees, the churches namely of St. Andrews,
of Glasgow, of Dunkeld, of Dunblane, of Brechin, of Aberdeen,
of Moray, of Ross, of Caithness. 2
" And let none pronounce a sentence of interdict or excommunication
upon the kingdom of Scotland, except the Roman
pontiff or a legate sent from his side : and if it be pronounced,
we decree that it is not valid.
"We add that it is not permitted for any henceforth who is
not of the kingdom of Scotland to exercise in it the office of
legate, except one whom the apostolic see has specially sent
from its own side for this purpose.
"And we forbid that controversies which may arise in the
kingdom about its possessions be carried to the judgment of
arbiters placed outside the kingdom, unless appeal be made
to the Roman church.
1 Cf. Hoved., ii, 360-361 ; (iii, 172-174), MSS. A and G. In Hoved.,
" In the same year William,
ii, 360, the letter is preceded by this sentence :
king of Scots, sent his messengers to Clement, the chief pontiff, and obtained
from him letters of his protection, in this form."
This letter is placed by Benedict among events of 1191. Hoveden
(MSS. A and G), placing it under the same year, ascribes it to Celestine III ;
but his first 13th of March in the papacy was in 1192 ; and both MSS. refer
from it to the same letter given by them under 1188, and ascribed to Clement
III. Cf. the notes in Hoved., iii, 172-173 ; ii, 360 ; B. of P., ii, 234.
These facts support the authorship of Clement III, and the date 1188.
