Ingram Lindsay ['''Ingeram de Lindesay'''], Doctor in Canon Law, was a 15th-century Scottish cleric. Despite being of illegitimate birth - one of several sons of an unmarried nobleman and an unmarried woman - he nevertheless managed in the end to pursue a successful ecclesiastical career.
Pope Martin V provided him as Archdeacon of Dunkeld on 21 January 1421, but this was unsuccessful;[1] likewise he was Dean of the Collegiate Church of Dunbar in 1422, but only for a year or under.[2] Ingram was in possession of the church of "Kynnore" (Kinnoir), a Moray prebend, by 1430, and possessed a canonry and prebend in the diocese of Brechin and a vicarage in the diocese of Glasgow when he was made Precentor of Elgin Cathedral in 1431, a position he held until 1441.[3] He had also briefly been Chancellor of Moray between 1430 and 1431.[4]
It was in 1441 that Ingram attained the peak of his career, being elected Bishop of Aberdeen by the chapter; he was confirmed in this position by Pope Eugenius IV on 28 April.[5] Not too much can be said about Ingram's episcopate. Among other things, Bishop Ingram is known to have put a stone roof on Aberdeen Cathedral, paved its floor with free stone and added the churches of Monymusk and Ruthven to the cathedral prebends.[6] He is said to have fallen out with the king, James II of Scotland, by refusing to accommodate James' wish that some benefices be bestowed on certain royal followers.[7] Ingram died at Aberdeen on 24 August 1458.[8] Bishop Ingram was an active scholastic theologian, and is known to have written various theological and biblical commentaries.[9]
