Document 2/131/22 (Glas. Reg., no. 26)
- Description
- Pope Alexander III writes to Brother Ingram, bishop of Glasgow, taking the church of Glasgow into his protection; all the possessions and goods which they have or may acquire by papal permission, by the liberality of kings or the gifts of the faithful, may remain with the bishop and his successors, including the churches of Old Roxburgh (ROX), Morebattle (ROX), Hassendean (ROX), Wilton (ROX), Traquair (PEB), Peebles (PEB), Kirkurd (PEB), Cadzow (LAN), the churches of the villas which belong to the bishop’s manse, Govan (LAN), Shettleston (LAN), Kinclaith (LAN), Cadder (LAN), ‘Badermanoch’ (LAN), Carstairs (LAN), Stobo (PEB), Gilmerton (MLO), Lilliesleaf (ROX), Ashkirk (SLK), Ancrum (ROX), Troneyhill (ROX), Hoddom (DMF), Castlemilk (St Mungo, DMF), Dryfesdale (DMF), and Esbie (DMF), with all their pertinents. The pope directs that no man is permitted to disturb the church or carry away its possessions; saving the authority of the apostolic see. Should any secular person attempt to go against this, after three warnings if he should not make amends, he may lost his honour and be liable to divine justice, and subject himself to retribution.
