Title | Prior of St Andrews, Prior of Loch Leven |
Simon (died 1225 x 1235) was a 13th-century Augustinian canon based in the Kingdom of Scotland.
As a canon of St Andrews Cathedral Priory, he was elected prior of St Andrews in either 1211 or 1212.[1] Simon, like his predecessor Thomas, was said by Inchcolm historian Walter Bower to have fallen out with the brothers of St Andrews and consequently to have resigned his post as prior.[2] Subsequently, Simon became Prior of Loch Leven.[3] This probably happened c. 1225.[4]
St Serf's Inch Priory lay on St Serf's Inch, an island in Loch Leven in Fothriff, and was subordinate to St Andrews Cathedral Priory.[5]
It is unclear how long Simon lived afterward, but his successor appears in the sources for the first time in 1235, indicating that Simon probably died before this year.[6] Bower described Simon as "a man of honourable life and praiseworthy behaviour".[2]
