Gilbert of Glenluce

Gilbert was a 13thcentury Cistercian monk, abbot and bishop. His first appearance in the sources occurs under the year 1233, for which year the Chronicle of Melrose reported that Sir Gilbert, the abbot of Glenluce, resigned his office, in the chapter of Melrose and there he made his profession. It is not clear why Gilbert really did resign the position of Abbot of Glenluce, head of Glenluce Abbey in Galloway, in order to become a mere brother at Melrose Abbey nor is it clear for how long Gilbert had been abbot, though his latest known predecessor is attested last onMay 1222. After going to there, Gilbert became the Master of the Novices at Melrose.
