M. de Dunblan

M. de Dunblan

"M. de Dunblan" is the way the first known Bishop of Dunblane is written in a copy of a papal bull of Pope Adrian IV preserved in England; the bull dates to 1155. [Cockburn, "Medieval Bishops", p. 6; Dowden, "Bishops", p. 193; Watt & Murray, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 99.]

The papal bull was addressed to the bishops of Scotland ordering them to submit to the metropolitan authority of the Archbishop of York; the copyist made two other mistakes in the initials of bishops, so it is not totally reliable. [Cockburn, "Medieval Bishops", p. 6; Dowden, "Bishops", p. 193.]

Cockburn speculated that "M." might stand for Máel Ísu; [Cockburn, "Medieval Bishops", p. 6] it is very unlikely that "M." was a mistake for "La.", standing for Laurence the successor of "M." at Dunblane. [Dowden, "Bishops", p. 193, n. 1.]
