His appointment by the Pope (anti-pope) Benedict XIIL was on 9 July, 1408 (E.). He probably went in person to the Apostolic See, and probably received consecration there. At all events we find that the king of England grants William Lawedre, bishop of Glasgow, a safeconduct to return from France to Scotland through England, on 24 Oct. 1408 Rot. Scot. ii. 189).[....] Lawedre was chancellor 8 Jan. 1421-2 (R.M.S. ii. 169), and so continued apparently till his death. William Lawedre was uterine brother of Alexander Lawedre, appointed bishop of Dunkeld in 1440, who died before his consecration (Sc. xvi. 26) : see under Dunkeld. He was frequently employed in affairs of state (see B.C. iv.)."
