Details
James Bruce (La: Jacobus de Brois) (died 1447) was a 15th century cleric who was bishop of Dunkeld, Chancellor of Scotland, and bishop of Glasgow. He was the son of one Robert Bruce, a middling landowner in Clackmannanshire. He was rector of Kilmany (Fife), and Archdeacon of Dunkeld. In 1441, on the death of Alexander de Lawedre, bishop-elect of Dunkeld, James Bruce was elected as bishop. He was consecrated at Dunfermline on February 4, 1442. He celebrated his first festive mass on the feast of St. Adomnán, i.e. September 23. His rule in Dunkeld came to an end when, on February 3, 1347, he was translated to the bishopric of Glasgow. His time as bishop of Glasgow was, however, short. He died in Edinburgh in 1447, probably at the end of the summer. He was buried in St Mary's chapel, Dunfermline.
