Patrick Graham
Patrick Graham (died 1478) was a 15th century
Bishop of Brechin andBishop of St. Andrews ; he was also the firstArchbishop of St. Andrews .He was the son of Robert Graham of
Fintry , the son of Sir William Graham of Kincardine by Lady Mary Stewart, daughter of KingRobert III of Scotland . He was therefore of royal blood, and the nephew of his predecessor asbishop of St. Andrews, James Kennedy. Before rising to the rank of bishop, Patrick for many years controlled theparish church ofKinneil with his brother Jonathan [Boyd Hilton, A mad, bad and dangerous people] . Although Patrick paid for the bishopric of Brechin, his election was acknowledged byPope Pius III , who appointed him to the see sometime beforeMarch 29 ,1463 . However, Patrick was not long bishop of Brechin. OnNovember 4 ,1465 , Patrick was translated to the bishopric of St. Andrews byPope Paul II , for which Patrick'sproctor , a merchant ofFlorence called Ricardo de Ricasolis, paid over 3300 gold florins onNovember 29 of the same year.Patrick became the first Archbishop of St. Andrews when a Bull of
Pope Sixtus IV , dated atRome ,August 17 ,1472 , elevated the bishopric of St. Andrews to archiepiscopal status. Nevertheless, Patrick's individual career was in trouble. The same Pope Sixtus IV ordered an enquiry into Patrick's conduct. He commissioned one John Huseman, Dean of the church of St. Patroclus in Soest in the diocese of Cologne, to investigate charges (of insanity) made against Archbishop Patrick. The result was that Archbishop Patrick was condemned to confine himself to a monastery, residing first at Inchcolm, then Dunfermline, before being imprisoned inLoch Leven Castle . He was formally deposed onJanuary 9 , 1478, and died later in the year at Loch Leven. He was buried on St. Serf's Inch in Lochleven.References
