earl of Dunbar and his associates; and thus, after a royal banquet, he
returned to his own country, bearing it ill that the bishop of Glasgow and the
bishop-elect of St Andrews, and also W[alter] Comyn, called the earl of Menteith, with
the rest of the magnates of the land, did not wish to affix their seals to a certain
most abominable document that the aforesaid conspirators had made and endorsed with
their seals, in which were contained many things that could bring about the disgrace of
the king and the kingdom. In the same year, on St Stephen’s Day,1 which fell at that time on a Sunday, Master Gamelin was consecrated
in his See as bishop of St Andrews, although the king’s councillors had sent messengers
to forbid it. The lord Henry, bishop-elect of Whithorn, was also consecrated, by Walter,
archbishop of York; this Walter died the same year, and Master Sewal his dean succeeded
him. John, abbot of Holme,2 died; Henry, his monk,
succeeded him.
In the 1256th
year of the Lord, the lord Waleran de Normanville was buried at Melrose. R[ichard], the
king of England’s brother, was elected to the empire of Germany. And Sewal was
consecrated. In the same year, Bishop Gamelin was outlawed by the king’s councillors,
since he both did not wish to acquiesce in their abominable plans, and also because he
refused to give a certain amount of money, as though for the purchase of his bishopric;
and since Scotland had cast him out, and England denied him passage, led by Neptune, he
made for France; and thus he boldly went to visit the Roman curia against his
adversaries. After his departure, the king’s councillors pillaged the goods of his
bishopric, and squandered them at will. Peter, bishop of Aberdeen died; Richard of
Potton succeeded him. Roger, abbot of Newbattle, died as he returned from the chapter;
and he was buried at Vaudey [Abbey]. William, his prior, was appointed in his place.
