Editing Turgot of Durham (section)

===Bishop of St Andrews and death===
In 1107, the Prior was elected as bishop to the [[Archdiocese of St Andrews|see of St Andrews]] which had been without a bishop since 1093.{{sfn|Green|2013|p=94}} Consecration was delayed by ecclesiastical disputes between York and St Andrews, and did not take place until 1 August 1109. According to [[Symeon of Durham]], he found that he could not exercise the office "worthily" as there was only a primitive [[reliquary]] church, no Benedictine monks to support him and conflicts between various factions he had to deal with, including the Scottish King [[Alexander I of Scotland|Alexander]], the Archbishop of York and the [[culdees]], a local Scottish monastic community. Alexander asked [[Pope Paschal II]] to advice Turgot on these matters and the pope sent Turgot two letters as well as a book of excerpts of [[Canon law of the Catholic Church|canon law]] to support him. Turgot, perhaps in response to these letters, proposed to go to Rome to speak directly with Pope Paschal II but Alexander prevented him from doing so.{{sfn|Green|2013|p=95}}

Tugot became ill in June 1115 and was allowed to return to Durham where he had begun his clerical life, where he died on 31 August 1115.<ref name=DNB/> Turgot's last words were from [[Psalm 76]] "His dwelling is in peace and his habitation in Sion" and he was buried in the [[chapter house]] of Durham next to the graves of other bishops.{{sfn|Green|2013|p=99}} His [[mortuary roll]], which may have been prepared by Symeon of Durham himself, circulated as far as the French counties of [[County of Anjou|Anjou]], [[County of Blois|Blois]], [[Touraine]] and [[County of Vermandois|Vermandois]].{{sfn|Green|2013|p=100}}
