Bower related that in 1214 it was the turn of Radulf to go the meeting of the general chapter of the Cistercian Order.

[4] While on the journey in France, a lay brother who was serving as the cook of the various abbots had the tasking of purchasing and preparing a meal for the travel party.

All the abbots, forbidden to eat animal meat, believed that it was butter, and consumed the fat drenched fish.

This prompted Abbot Radulf to interrogate the lay brother, who confessed his transgression and received penance.

[8] The Chronicle reported his death as follows:Dominus Radulphus, the abbot of Kinloss, full of good days, in holy old age migrated, as we believe, from earth to heaven.
