Tags: Christian Bishop.
Bricius (sometimes anglicized as Brice died 1222) was prior of Lesmahagow and afterward bishop of Moray (Gaelic epscop Muireb; Latin episcopus Moraviensis). In this period the name Bricius is more often a Latinization of the Gaelic names Máel Brigte (tonsured devotee of St. Brigit) and Gilla Brigte (devotee of St. Brigit) than a real name although it is still possible that Bricius was indeed the bishop’s real name.
