Bishop Abraham's seal, attached to a charter of 1211.
There are no exact accounts of his origin, but his name and the background suggest he was a native Scot from Strathearn. There is no evidence to the contrary. Neville wrote that his "Hebrew name conceals an English provenance",[2] but in fact the Hebrew name is more consistent with established Gaelic-naming patterns than with English or French ones.[3]
He was a son of a priest, and had at least one son of his own, Arthur by name.[4] Evidence from the charters of Inchaffray Abbey shows that he was bishop-elect by some date between the years 1210 and 1214.[5]
A charter from Arbroath Abbey shows he had been consecrated by 4 December 1214.[6] The date of his death is not known, but Radulf was bishop-elect in an Arbroath document datable between 1223 and 1225.[6]
