- Simon of Wedale (auch de Wedale) († 11. März 1354) war ein schottischer Geistlicher. Spätestens 1326 wurde er Bischof von Whithorn. Simon of Wedale war Abt von Holyrood Abbey. Während des Ersten Schottischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs war er ein loyaler Unterstützer von König Robert Bruce. Im November 1322 reiste Bruce nach , um die Wahl von Wedale zum neuen Bischof der Diözese Whithorn zu organisieren und um sich die Verwaltung der Temporalien der Diözese zu sichern. Der bisherige Bischof Thomas of Dalton war ein Gegner von Bruce gewesen. Er war nun aber offenbar zu alt, um seine Diözese zu verwalten, oder er befand sich schon seit langem im Exil in England. Nach anderen Angaben war Dalton bereits 1319 gestorben und Wedale wurde bereits im Juli 1321 zum Bischof gewählt. Seine Bischofsweihe verzögerte sich aber bis 1327. Schließlich bestätigte Erzbischof William Melton von York, dem die Diözese Whithorn unterstellt war, am 16. Dezember 1326 die Wahl von Wedale. Am 1. Februar 1327, einen Tag vor der Krönung des englischen Königs Eduard III., wurde Wedale in Westminster Abbey von den Bischöfen John Ross von Carlisle, Roger Northburgh von Lichfield und John Eaglescliff von Llandaff zum Bischof geweiht. Obwohl Wedale ein loyaler Anhänger von Robert Bruce gewesen war, nahm er während des Zweiten Schottischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs zusammen mit sechs weiteren schottischen Bischöfen im Februar 1334 am Parlament des von England unterstützten schottischen Königs Edward Balliol teil. Im November 1335 stellte der englische König den Bischof unter seinen Schutz. (de)
- Simon de Wedale was a 14th-century Augustinian canon who rose to become Abbot of Holyrood and then Bishop of Galloway. Little is known of Simon until he appears on 27 February 1321 as Abbot of Holyrood Abbey near Edinburgh. His accession to this abbacy had only been recent, since either in January of this year or in January 1320, his predecessor Elias, ruling the abbey since at least 1309 and probably earlier, was still abbot. Abbot Simon occurs again in the records on 10 June 1326. On 23 September of this year Simon was elected to succeed the recently deceased Thomas de Kirkcudbright as Bishop of Galloway. This election was confirmed by Galloway's metropolitan the Archbishop of York on 16 December, allowing Simon to receive consecration, which was conducted at Westminster by the bishops of Lichfield, Carlisle, and Llandaff on 1 February 1327; Simon made his profession of obedience to the Archbishop of York at Tottenham on 8 February. Little is known of his 19-year episcopate. He granted the parish church of Crossmichael to Sweetheart Abbey on 21 September 1331. Bishop Simon may have been present at the parliament of Edward Balliol on 10 February 1334, but if so his name was incorrectly recorded as Henry. He was granted a protection by King Edward III of England on 1 November 1335. He occurs in a Holyrood Abbey document dated to 11 November 1345. On 18 October 1347, he is recorded assigning tithes from the church of Buittle between its vicar and Sweetheart. He died on 11 March 1355. Perhaps in anticipation of Bishop Simon's impending death, John II, King of France, had petitioned for a plenary indulgence on Simon's behalf, a petition which was granted by Pope Innocent IV on 18 June 1354. An excavation of Whithorn Priory during 1957-67 uncovered the remains of various senior ecclesiastical figures whose identities were not known at the time. Research funded by Historic Scotland in 2007 led to the identification of six bishops from the bones and artefacts in the graves, Bishop Simon amongst them. The techniques employed allowed the researchers to conclude that all the clerics enjoyed a diet of quality meat and fish and probably came from southern Scotland or Cumbria. The grave identified as Simon's also contained a gilded and enamelled crozier dating from 1175, silver altar vessels, brocade threads and gilded sequins from a headdress. (en)
