 When Jocelin died , he was back at Melrose Abbey , where his career had begun . He may have retired to Melrose knowing his death was near . Jocelin certainly did die at Melrose , passing away on St Patrick 's Day ( 17 March ) 1199 . He was buried in the monks ' choir of Melrose Abbey Church . Hugh de Roxburgh , Chancellor of Scotland , was elected as Jocelin 's replacement . The Chronicle of Melrose has only a short obituary .
