promotion over the honour of his king or of the kingdom, had himself
consecrated as bishop by the supreme pontiff, and so departed from the curia. The lord
Gilbert, bishop of Whithorn, died, after whom the lord Henry, abbot of Holyrood, was
elected, and the lord Ralph, a canon of the same house, was made abbot of Holyrood. In
the same year, H[enry], king of England, crossed [the Channel], so that he might settle
his lands overseas. Alan, the Doorward of Scotland, followed him, and powerfully ⊗ vanquished and subdued the king of England’s enemies. For this reason, he not only
re⊗covered the king’s friendship, but he also became the accuser of his
accusers and their ⊗ accomplices before the king upon many matters. Because of
this, a great dissent between the magnates of the kingdom of Scotland is perceived, and
this shall become apparent in what follows. Robert Grosseteste, bishop of Lincoln,
died.
In the 1254th year of the
Lord, Master Abel entered Scotland; at first, the king’s council opposed this, but
afterwards assented; and he was received in his bishopric with honour. He was taken from
this light in the same year. After him, Master Gamelin, the king’s chancellor, was
elected by the prior and convent of St Andrews, and was confirmed in the bishopric by
the king and his councillors. The king of France returned home from Jerusalem. And
Edward, the first-born of the king of England, took the daughter of the king of Castille
to himself in marriage, and was made a knight by him. Pope Innocent died; Alexander
succeeded him.
In the 1255th year of the
Lord, all the great men of Scotland,1 on the one side, and
