1065 _Dubhtach Albannach prim anmchara Erinn acus Albain_ in Ardmacha
quievit.—_Ib._
Footnote 674:
1070 _Abbas Ia_, id est, _Mac mic Baetan domarbhadh do mac ind Ab._
(slain by the son of the abbot) _hua Maeldoradh_.—_Ib._
Footnote 675:
Inter cætera bona quæ nobilis hera fecerat, Huense cœnobium, quod
servus Christi Columba tempore Brudei regis Pictorum filii Meilocon,
construxerat, sed tempestate præliorum cum longa vetustate dirutum
fuerat, fidelis regina reædificavit, datisque sumptibus idoneis ad
opus Domini monachis reparavit.—_Orderic. Vital._, B. viii. c. 22.
Footnote 676:
_Magnus Saga, Collect. de Rebus Alb._, p. 348.
Footnote 677:
1099 _Donnchadh mac mic Moenaig Ab._ Ia in pace pausavit.—_An. Ult._
The form of Mac mic, which appears in the names of the two last abbots
of Iona instead of the Irish form _hua_, rather indicates that these
two abbots were Scotchmen.
Footnote 678:
1093 _Fothadh Ardepscop Albain_ in Christo quievit.—_An. Ult._ The
legend of St. Andrew says, speaking of the title Episcopus Scottorum,
‘Sic quippe ab antiquo episcopi Sancti Andreæ dicti sunt et in
scriptis tam antiquis quam modernis invenientur dicti Summi
Archiepiscopi sive Summi episcopi Scotorum, Unde et conscribi fecit in
theca Evangelii Fothet episcopus, maxime vir authoritatis, versus
istos—
‘Hanc Evangelii thecam construxit aviti
Fothet qui Scotis Summus Episcopus est.’
Bower altered the expression ‘Summus Episcopus’ to ‘Primus Episcopus,’
and applied it to the first Fothad, whom he made first bishop, though
in the revised edition of the _Scotichronicon_ in the Cupar MS., he
corrects his mistake. Wyntoun takes the same view, but ‘Summus
Episcopus’ is the exact equivalent in Latin of the Irish _Ard epscop_,
and there is no doubt that the last Fothad is the bishop meant. The
Gospel he so carefully protected may have been a gift from Queen
Margaret.
