John of Caithness Middle Irish language Medieval Gaelic Eoin Old Norse language Norse Jon Latin language Latin Iohannes is the second known bishop of Caithness , based then at Halkirk . He witnessed various charter s in Scotland between the years 1187 and 1199. Bishop John is best known for his mutilation , carried out at Scrabster Castle by Harald Maddadsson , in which the bishop lost his tongue and human eyes eyes . The bishop suffered this fate by refusing to collect Peter s Pence , a tax of 1 10 of the income of every freeman. This tax was encouraged by the Papacy , and had a strong history in the Scandinavian world. His predecessor Aindr as had allowed it, but John stood up for the complaints of the peasantry. John certainly survived the attack, although Earl Harald and the people of the Earldom suffered the consequences, as Pope Innocent III and King William of Scotland brought down their wrath on the province. John s successor Adam of Melrose Adam appears in the records for the first time in 1213. References Barbara Crawford Crawford, Barbara Elizabeth , Peter s Pence in Scotland , in G.W.S.

In particular Myatt describes alignments relevant to theories of megalithic astronomy , as developed by Alexander Thom .
