== Biography ==

SUMMARY:

Patrick Dunbar was born before 1470? In Scotland. Shaw lists him as the 7th child as listed in the Dunbar aisle of Elgin Cathedral and states "Unfortunately the upper part of the wall, on which the names were cut, has disappeared". He was described as the sixth son by Burke, but he is not listed in the 2003 edition. He was the son of Sir Alexander Dunbar and Isobel Sutherland.
Patrick matriculated at St Andrews University in 1484. He is possibly the Patrick Dunbar who matriculated at St Andrews in 1484. Patrick was appointed Chancellor of Moray in March 1487. Patrick was Chancellor of Caithness after 13 August 1497. The Chancellor of the diocese, along with other functions, had a general charge of theological and grammar education. He was very indignant at any extra-mural interloping or unauthorized teaching in his jurisdiction. Any free-trade in teaching was put down by him with proper spirit. It was his duty to superintend the service in church, and, amongst other parts of it, the preaching. He and the treasurer kept the chapter seal under double locks. He witnessed charters on 4 November 1508 and 18 Dec. 1508; 1512 - Accounts by Andrew Stewart, Bishop of Caithness
