Date

[edit]

It would be good to clarify what year Richard became bishop. The date is given as early March 1187. At this time in Scotland, the first day of the year was 25th March. Did he become bishop in 1186/7 (ie the year already adjusted to modern calendar) Or did he become bishop in 1187/8? (ie 12th month of 1187 as they would have conceived it, third month 1188 by modern calendar.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.55.101.221 (talk) 16:40, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
