Nicholas (died c. 1298) was a Scottish churchman and prelate active at the end of the 13th century. While holding the office of sub-dean of Brechin Cathedral, he got provided bishop of Brechin by Pope Boniface VIII on 21 January 1297.〔Watt and Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', pp. 54, 69 for short discussion where this date is favoured, but some editors have preferred to date document to 26 January 1296; c/f Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 178〕 A concurrent mandate was sent, significantly, to John Balliol, King of the Scots rather than Edward I.〔Watt and Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', p. 54〕 He was consecrated on the same day by Giovanni Boccamazza, Cardinal-Bishop of Tusculum.〔Dowden, ''Bishops'', p. 178〕 Bishop Nicholas is known only from papal documents, and his episcopate was short.〔Dowden, ''Bishops'', pp. 178–79〕 Although there is no date for Nicholas' death, he had died by 1 June 1298, when his successor John de Kininmund was appointed Brechin bishop.〔 He is the first known holder of the office of sub-dean of Brechin, though not necessarily the first; holders of this office are poorly recorded, the next known holder being the mid-14th-century William de Forres.〔Watt and Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', p. 69〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicholas of Brechin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
