Mac Bethad of Rosemarkie
Mac Bethad (fl. 1127 x 1131) is the first recorded High Medieval Bishop of Ross, a See then located at Rosemarkie.
He makes his only historical appearance as Macbeth Rosmarkensis Episcopus (i.e. "Mac Bethad, Bishop of Rosemarkie") in a list of witnesses to a charter granted by King David I of Scotland to the Church of Dunfermline, confirming the previous rights of that church.[1]
The charter is dated by its modern editor to 1128,[2] but is more safely dated to the period between the years 1127 and 1131.[3]

gollark: You are not going to make people budge on their opinions by saying "no, this opinion is illegal now" or something.
gollark: Okay, too bad, don't let them do much based on it I guess.
gollark: The "paradox" conflates "letting people say things you dislike" with "letting them act on it/ignoring it/not countering it sensibly/whatever else".
gollark: One definition of "tolerance": allowing people to say things.Another one: agreeing with what someone says or whatever, which isn't actually very similar.
