[2] From 1482 too, James was claiming to have received papal provision as Dean of Moray, an office he never seems to have gained possession of.

[4] Chisholm was consecrated at an unknown date that fell between 11 July 1487 and 28 January 1488.

[5] Chisholm's long episcopate saw, among other things, the disastrous Battle of Flodden, a growth in the resources available to the cathedral, the addition of nine new chaplainries to the choir, and the addition of parapets to the tower and choir of the cathedral.

[7] James however retained the fruits of the see – possession and control of its resources – with a right to return if he chose; he bore the style "administrator of Dunblane" for some time after, possibly until his death, though such a style is attested only once, on 26 March 1534).

James Chisholm's death cannot be dated with certainty, but it is likely that he died in the year 1546; he was certainly dead by 20 January 1546.
