Simon de Tosny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon de Tosny [Toni, Tonei, Toeni, Toeny, Toney] was a 12th century Cistercian monk and prelate. Simon was a monk of Melrose Abbey, and served there until he moved to become Abbot of Coggeshall Abbey in Essex. He resigned this abbey in 1168, and returned to Melrose. In 1171, he was elected as Bishop of Moray, and was consecrated at St Andrews on January 23, 1172. He witnessed several charters and was present at the Council of Northampton in 1176. He is the first bishop named on the bishop-list in the Moray Registrum. He died on September 17, 1184, and was succeeded as bishop by Richard de Lincoln.
