Nicholas of Arbroath
Nicholas O. Tiron (died 1306 × 1307), Abbot of Arbroath and Bishop of Dunblane, was a late 13th-century and early 14th-century churchman in the Kingdom of Scotland. Little is known about Nicholas until he appeared on 21 November 1299, holding the position of Abbot of Arbroath in a charter of that abbey; the last attestation of his predecessor Henry can be dated to 16 October 1296, so that Nicholas must have become abbot sometime in between these two dates.〔Watt & Shead, ''Heads of Religious Houses'', p. 4.〕
As Abbot of Arbroath, he was a canon of Dunblane Cathedral, and entitled to participate in episcopal elections. Bishop Alpín had died sometime between 1 October 1299 and 15 October 1301, and the new election to the bishopric became deadlocked.〔Cockburn, ''Medieval Bishops'', pp. 85-6; Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 200; Watt, ''Dictionary'', p. 522; Watt & Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', p. 100.〕
Several canons had emerged as candidates, and it seems to have been decided that all candidates should proceed to the papal see to request judgment from the Pope.〔Cockburn, ''Medieval Bishops'', p. 86; Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 200.〕 As it happened, Abbot Nicholas was the only candidate to travel to the papacy; as Cockburn commented, "An abbot could face the heavy expense; no poor canon of the Cathedral could".〔Cockburn, ''Medieval Bishops'', p. 86.〕 When no other turned up, the Pope authorised Nicholas' provision, and he was consecrated by Theodoric, Bishop of Palestrina, on 13 November 1301.〔Cockburn, ''Medieval Bishops'', p. 86; Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 200; Watt & Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', p. 100.〕
Nicholas' short career as bishop is not well recorded. In the events of the early Wars of Scottish Independence, Nicholas' role is unclear and aside from some appearances in the charters of Coupar Angus Abbey, his name is largely absent from the evidence.〔 He appears for the last time, in papal documents, on 26 January 1306 and was dead a good time before 11 December 1307, when his successor Nicholas de Balmyle was consecrated as bishop in France.〔Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 201; Watt & Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', pp. 100-1.〕
