    ...
    Turgot appointed bishop of St. Andrews

    Turgot, a monk from Durham, was chosen as bishop for St. Andrews Cathedral. He was consecrated after some difficulty as the Archbishop of Canterbury had objections, but the Archbishop of York stepped in and performed the ceremony. Turgot was never happy with his position as bishop and had thoughts of going to Rome to get confirmation of his disputed consecration, but he died in 1115 before doing so.
