Roger de Beaumont (bishop)
- Roger de Beaumont (bishop)
Roger de Beaumont (d. 1202) was Bishop of St Andrews (Cell Rígmonaid) (elected 1189; consecrated 1198).
He was the son of Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester. Roger's position as a younger son of the Earl of Leicester meant that Roger had to seek a fortune elsewhere. His father's sister, Ada, was the mother of King William I of Scotland, and hence Roger was the cousin of King William I of Scotland. It is no surprise then that Roger pursued his career in service of the King of Scots. He managed to obtain high-ranking position in the kingdom by becoming the Chancellor of the King, a post which usually functioned as a prelude to ascending a high-ranking bishopric. So it was that, at Perth in April 1189, he was elected Bishop of St. Andrews. Roger, nevertheless, had to wait nine years for consecration, which was finally performed in 1198 at St. Andrews by the Bishop of Moray and the Bishop of Aberdeen. His episcopate came to an end when he died at Cambuskenneth on July 7th, 1202. He was buried at St. Andrews. The next bishop of the see was William de Malveisin.
