Patrick Primrose OP (c. 1605–1671) was a Scottish Dominican priest of the Roman Catholic Church, Scottish Vicar General, and royal chaplain to Queen Catherine of Braganza, who died in 1671 after being jailed for two months over winter for celebrating Mass.
[1] He was in Italy as early as 1649 and was named the Dominican's Vicar General for Scotland on 8 November 1651,[2] the only person ever to hold that title.
[2] The Domestic Annals of Scotland describe how several months passed after his imprisonment before he was identified as a servant of the Queen.
The date of his death is unknown,[2] being ambiguously referred to as "the late prisoner" when given the extended period to remain.
He was buried in the grounds of the pre-Reformation church of St. Peter, Drumdelgie, at the River Deveron near Milton of Strathbogie (now Huntly) in the former parish of Botary.
