Roger de Beaumont (died 1202) was a 12th and 13th century Bishop of St Andrews.
[1] At Williiam's court Beaumont managed to obtain favour, eventually reaching the position of Chancellor of the King, a post which usually functioned as a prelude to ascending a high-ranking bishopric.
During his time as chancellor, Beaumont had been party to the negotiations surrounding the nullification of the treaty of Falaise, and had lobbied the Pope to secure the independence of the Scottish church from the claims of both Nidaros and York to superiority.
These demands of the pope were both met, with Clement III issuing a Bull in 1188 confirming that church in Scotland was answerable only to the Holy See.
The following year, 8 months after Beaumont's election as bishop, the English King Richard I nullified the Treaty of Falaise, and recognised the independence of the Church.
