Wimund, a mysterious figure who from having been a Savigniac monk at Furness Abbey was made bishop of the Isles, probably in the 1130s. He then raised a claim to the Scottish throne, as a member of a rival dynasty to that of David I, and was bought off with a grant of lands, until enemies blinded and castrated him, after which he was sent to Byland Abbey where he died. Most of what is known about him is supplied by William of Newburgh, whose chronicle Harrison shows no signs of having used; apparently he relied instead on passing references in the writings of Ailred, Robert de Torigni and Matthew Paris.
