FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 337
of Scotland, of the diocese of Caithness, sought from his sub-
jects the tithes of hay concerning
which both he and the earl of
Caithness l had made promise to the king of Scotland. And
while decreeing as bishop he caused his decree to be fortified
by both the royal
seal and the seal of the earl.
But afterwards the earl was wroth about this, and went to
the bishop in his county and, moved by rage, asked from him
that the charter of the decree should be returned to him.
And because the bishop refused to do this, [the earl] slew
[the bishop's] chaplain, a monk to wit, in his presence ; and
wounded to death in his sight a nephew of the bishop. And
" Even if thou slay me, I will
seeing this, the bishop said :
never resign to thee the instruments of my church."
Then the earl was roused to anger, and ordered the said
bishop to be bound to the door-post in the kitchen and
;
shutting the [outer] door, ordered the house to be set on fire.
And when it had been wholly fired the bishop's chains were
loosened, and he came to the [outer] door, as if unhurt, to go
out but the ;
earl, waiting outside to see the end, when he saw
this caused the bishop to be cast into the fire, and ordered the
two bodies of those previously slain to be thrown upon him.
And so the three said martyrs for the defence of the right of the
church departed to the Lord. 2
And the most Christian king of the Scots would not leave
so great sacrilege unpunished, but set out with an army to take
the earl.
But the earl heard this, and fled from the king's realm ;
and in the manner of Cain wandering and in exile roamed about
the isles of the sea. And at last he made these terms
among
with the : king first, that he and his heirs and his men would
pay the tithes of hay ; and that within six months he would
bring to the king's feet the cut-off heads of all those who had
taken part in the said crime. He resigned also the half of
his earldom into the king's hands. He also bestowed certain
lands upon that church whose bishop he had slain. Moreover
also he promised to go on foot to Rome, and to obey the
mandate of the chief pontiff concerning these things.

1219, " in order to seek [Honorius Ill's] absolution " ; ibid., 135.
