Enguerrand, also known as Ingelram or Ingram, was a medieval Scottish cleric who served as Bishop of Glasgow from 1159 or 1160 until his death in 1174.
Early Career Before his elevation to the episcopate, Enguerrand held the position of Prior of Lesmahagow, a priory associated with Kelso Abbey. His role as prior indicates his standing within the Scottish ecclesiastical hierarchy prior to his election as bishop.
Episcopacy of Glasgow Enguerrand was elected Bishop of Glasgow in 1159, succeeding Bishop Herbert. He traveled to France where his consecration was performed by Pope Alexander III at Sens on 28 October 1160. His tenure as bishop occurred during the reign of King William I of Scotland, known as William the Lion, and Enguerrand's name frequently appears as a witness on royal charters issued by the king, signifying his close involvement in the affairs of the Scottish kingdom.
A significant aspect of Enguerrand's episcopacy was his firm advocacy for the independence of the Scottish Church from the metropolitan jurisdiction claimed by the Archbishop of York. This was a critical ecclesiastical and political dispute throughout the 12th century in Scotland. Enguerrand, alongside other Scottish bishops, campaigned for the Scottish dioceses to be directly answerable to the Holy See, thereby bypassing any English ecclesiastical authority. His efforts were part of a broader movement that ultimately contributed to the papal bull Cum universi in 1192, which granted the Scottish Church the unique status of a "special daughter" of the Roman See, though this occurred after Enguerrand's death.
Within his diocese, he was responsible for the administration and development of the see of Glasgow, overseeing spiritual matters and temporal possessions, and holding diocesan synods.
Death and Succession Enguerrand died in 1174. He was succeeded as Bishop of Glasgow by Jocelin.
