Roger Gordon
Roger Gordon (d. 1579 × 1587) was a 16th-century Scottish cleric. He was Dean of Dunblane Cathedral from at least 13 April 1554, a position he may have retained for the remainder of his life.[1] He was elected to the bishopric of Galloway on the death of Alexander Gordon in 1575.[2] He got crown confirmation to the bishopric with mandate for consecration on 17 September 1578.[2]
However, John Gordon had been chosen as successor by Alexander in 1568, 7 years before the latter's death, and John Gordon seems to have prevented Roger from taking up the position of Bishop of Galloway in practice.[3] Roger was called "pretended bishop" on 27 June 1579.[2] Roger never seems to have taken possession of the see.[2] He died before 12 May 1587.[4]

gollark: I suspect he just hates making users' lives easier, and probably fansites generally.
gollark: I emailed TJ09 asking for clarification, at least, not that I expect *that* to work either.
gollark: I've decided to just shut down my hatchery thing. There's basically no chance of the issue being resolved sensibly.
gollark: Probably. I don't think I could get much more even by breeding it, but thought it would be worth asking at least.
gollark: I got that 3G prize from CB prize I was mentioning earlier.I've gotten an offer of IOUs for (from someone on here, so relatively trustworthy) a 3G SAltkin and 3G PB prize.Would it be sensible to just take that or try and get a different thingy or even just keep the one I have?
