John Guthrie (Bishop of Ross)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Guthrie (d. 1492 × 1494?) was a 15th century Scottish prelate, who was sometime Bishop of Ross, an office based at Fortrose on the Black Isle in Ross.
He received papal provision to the vacant bishopric of Ross by papal bull on April 11, 1492, his proctor paying the papacy the 600 gold florins on June 14.[1] Earlier, at some point between May 12, 1490, and February 26, 1492, he had been admitted to the temporalities of that episcopal see, presumably as bishop-elect.[1]
One early modern authority who may have seen lost sources claimed that Guthrie had died before July 1494, though no successor to the dioceseis known until September 10, 1497.[1]
