Roger (bishop of Ross)

Roger was a 13th-century cleric who served as Bishop of Ross in the medieval Kingdom of Scotland. His episcopate dates from his election and consecration sometime before 1249, as he is recorded as a bishop-elect in that year. His tenure coincided with a period of political instability and conflicts between the Scottish crown and Norse lords in the Hebrides. Specific details about his life and actions as bishop are limited, a common challenge in reconstructing the biographies of medieval figures due to the fragmented nature of surviving historical records. Records do indicate that he witnessed charters and participated in ecclesiastical affairs during his time as bishop. The exact date of his death is unrecorded, but he was succeeded by Robert de Fyvie in 1271.
