Radulf (Bishop-elect of Dunblane)
- Radulf (Bishop-elect of Dunblane)
Radulf (fl. 1223 × 1226) is an obscure churchman in early 13th century Scotland, elected as Bishop of Dunblane some time between 1223 and 1225. [Watt & Murrary, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 99.] The first of only two notices of his existence occurs in an Arbroath Abbey deed where he is syled "Radulf elect of Dunblane"; the document can be dated to 1223 × 1225. [Dowden, "Bishops", p. 195; Watt & Murray, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 99.] On January 12, 1226, Pope Honorius III instructed the Bishop of St Andrews, the Bishop of Moray and the Bishop of Caithness, to enjoin a new election for the bishopric of Dunblane, as "R. elected Bishop of Dunblane" had resigned in the Pope's presence a short time before. [Cockburn, "Medieval Bishops", p. 40; Dowden, "Bishops", p. 196; Watt & Murray, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 99-100.] There are no clues as to Radulf's career after that. The Cathedral chapter of the diocese elected one Osbert in his place. [Watt, "Fasti Ecclesiae", p. 99.] Cockburn suggested Radulf was probably a Frenchman who had immigrated to Scotland, who got elected Bishop, but decided he would rather stay in Continental Europe after he travelled there for consecration, perhaps being offered a better post there. [Cockburn, "Medieval Bishops", p. 41.]
