Walter Forrester
Walter Forrester (died 1425 or 1426), bishop of Brechin, was an administrator and prelate in later medieval Scotland. Originating in Angus, he came from a family of English origin who by the end of the 14th century had become well established in Scottish society. A student of the University of Paris and University of Orleans, he began his career at home by the later 1370s.
He became a royal clerk, and appears to have held the position of archdeacon of Lothian c. 1386. After extending his education at Paris in the 1390s, he returned to Scotland to continue clerical and ambassadorial duties for the monarch, and was awarded with the bishopric of Brechin in 1407. He held this post, along with that of Clerk of the Register, until his death in either 1425 or 1426.
==Origins and early education==
It is known from later documents that Walter Forrester was from the diocese of Brechin, born sometime in or before 1355.〔Watt, ''Dictionary'', p. 197〕 The Forresters were a middle-ranking family of English origin who rose to greater prominence during Walter's lifetime.〔Ewan, "Forrester family"〕 The name of his father is unrecorded, but his mother's name was Mariota or Marion.〔Ewan, "Forrester family"; Watt, ''Dictionary'', p. 197〕 He had a brother named Patrick Forrester, a burgess of Dundee, and a half-brother named Patrick de Dalgarnock.〔 John Forrester, variously Archdeacon of Teviotdale, Official of Aberdeen and Official of Glasgow, and Adam Forrester, burgess of Edinburgh, laird of Corstorphine and one of the wealthiest merchants in contemporary Scotland, were his kinsmen, though the detail of this kinship is not recorded.〔Ewan, "Forrester family"; Watt, ''Dictionary'', pp. 195, 197; Watt & Murray, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', pp. 31, 223, 228, 245〕
Forrester attended the University of Paris, graduating Bachelor of Arts under fellow-Scot William de Trebrun in March 1375, and becoming Licentiate in Arts the following May.〔 He was a student of canon law at the University of Orleans c. 1375–79.〔 He returned to Scotland by April 1379.〔 By 12 April 1384 he was holding a canonry attached to Aberdeen Cathedral.〔Watt, ''Dictionary'', p. 198〕 It is likely that the prebend was the church of Mortlach, as he can be confirmed holding this church in a document datable to 22 April 1392.〔
