	Wimund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William tells us that Wimund was "born in the most obscure spot in England." He was educated at Furness Abbey, founded 1123–1127 by the future Stephen I of England.
		Wimund may have been a member of the party sent from Furness to found a house at Rushen on the Isle of Man by request of Amlaíb son of Gofraid Cróbh bhan, the King of Man and the Isles, in 1134.
		Wimund's bishopric of the Isles had its seat on the Isle of Skye.

		A bishop of similar Wimund, but of English birth, is said by the York historians to have been consecrated between 1109 and 1114 by Thomas II, Archbishop of York.
		Of John, the next bishop, nothing is known, except that he was a Cistercian of Savigny, and that he was consecrated by Henry Murdac, who was archbishop of York between 1151 and 1153.
		It would seem that during the next five years no bishop was elected, but whether this was due to the disturbed state of the kingdom or to the dispute[note 57] between the chapter on the one side and the clergy and the people on the other, does not appear.

		However, Wimund’s reign of terror was checked when one bishop resisted his demands for tribute and, through God’s assistance, drove the warlord away.
		Wimund paraded around the area with his army, inciting those who had known him previously as a monk to set a trap to capture, blind and castrate this adventurer ‘for the sake of the kingdom of Scotland, not for that of Heaven’.
		There, the ‘pretended monk and bishop’, told his woes to those who would listen and maintained that had he even the eye of a sparrow, ‘his enemies should have little occasion to rejoice at what they had done to him.’ (3)

	Notes 12-23 Chronicle, Manx Soc vol 22
		There can be no doubt that among the privileges granted to the Abbey of Rushen was also that of furnishing bishops to the See of Man, although, as we shall see presently, this privilege was not corn-patible with the right asserted by the clergy and people of Man to elect the bishops themselves.
		It was this Malcolm, not the imposter Wimund, who had married a sister of Somemled Mac Gillebride, the ancestor of the Lords of Argyll.
		Wimund, bishop of Man and the Isles, sometime about 1151 assumed the name of Mac Heth, and boldly laid claim to the throne of Scotland.

		They had no previous knowledge of wide tracts of land whose inhabitants knew no lord of lower rank than king, earl, or bishop; of villages which furnished a meagre subsistence to five, eight, or ten manorial lords; of estates whose owner could claim service from men whose dwellings were scattered over half a county.

		Vendettas or 'blood feuds' are sequences of acts and counter-acts motivated by revenge and carried out over long stretches of time by familial or tribal groups in a quest for justice; they were an important part of many pre-industrial societies, especially in the Mediterranean region, and still persist in some areas.
