Prior of Fogo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prior of Fogo was the head of the Tironensian monastic community and lands of Fogo Priory, Roxburghshire, founded sometime between 1253 and 1297. The patron was a local landlord named Patrick Corbet, who granted lands to Kelso Abbey to establish a cell there. Although almost none of the priors are known, the following two are recorded:

  • William Leischmann, 1465-1466
  • Andrew Leslie, 1537
