 It is certainly obvious that Jocelin was one of the most respected figures in the kingdom . In this era , the Pope appointed Jocelin Judge @-@ delegate ( of the Papacy ) more times than any other cleric in the kingdom . As a bishop and an ex @-@ abbot , various bishoprics and monasteries called him in to mediate disputes , as evidenced by his frequent appearance as a witness in dispute settlements , such as the dispute between Arbroath Abbey and the Bishopric of St Andrews , and a dispute between Jedburgh Abbey and Dryburgh Abbey . Jocelin had the respect of the secular elite too . He witnessed 24 royal charters and 40 non @-@ royal charters , including charters issued by David , Earl of Huntingdon ( the brother of King William ) , Donnchadh , Earl of Carrick , and Alan Fitzwalter , High Steward of Scotland . Jocelin had been with King William when he visited the English court in 1186 , and again accompanied the king to England when the king travelled to Woodstock near Oxford to marry Ermengarde de Beaumont on 5 September 1186 . The marriage was blessed by Bishop Jocelin in their chamber , and it was to Jocelin 's escort that King William entrusted her for the journey to Scotland . When a son was born to William and Ermengarde , the future King Alexander II , it was Jocelin who performed the baptism . In April 1194 , Jocelin again travelled to England in King William 's company when William was visiting King Richard I. Jocelin 's intimacy with the king would be the key to earning his patronage , thus making possible the legacy that Jocelin would leave to Glasgow .
