Robert de Stuteville, bishop of Dunkeld (d.1282×83)

Biography
Watt and Murray, Fasti, 124-25, 133: Robert first appears as dean of Dunkeld 1245×July 1250 and was confirmed as bishop of Dunkeld on 7 May 1273, being consecrated by 9 November. He occurs as bishop on 29 September 1277. He had resigned or died around 1282. Watt, Graduates, 527-8: Robert was from unknown origins but was said to have been of noble birth. He may have been connected with the Stuteville lords of Liddel, Cumberland. He is called master by ×1226, but certainly by March 1234. He had resigned the churches of Dunbennan and Kinnoir (both ABD) 1223×1225-6, prob. circa 1223. He is found in a Moray context until September 1241 by which time he had moved to Dunkeld. He appears as a canon of Dunkeld on 26 April 1245 and between this date and July 1250, he had become dean of Dunkeld, which he held until his elevation to the bishopric there. He was elected bishop of St Andrews on 28 June 1253 by the compromissarii of the chapter, following the death of Bishop David de Bernham on 26 April, though his election was cancelled by the pope and Abel of Gullane was consecrated instead. He was then elected bishop by similar methods to Dunkeld. He was probably still alive on 9 October 1282, but died before 13 December 1283.
