Question: What year was the abbey established that elected Nicholas as Bishop of the Isles?
Context: William de Bondington († 1258) was a 13th-century bishop of Glasgow.  Before becoming bishop, William was rector of Eddleston, a prebendary of Glasgow, and archdeacon of Lothian.  From the year 1231, William was Chancellor of Scotland.  He was elected Bishop of Glasgow sometime between 19 May 1232 and June 1233.  On 11 September 1233, he was consecrated at Glasgow Cathedral by Andreas de Moravia, Bishop of Moray.  William de Bondington was a frequent witness to royal charters, and one of the most important royal officials in the reign of King Alexander II.  He probably remained chancellor until the latter king's death in 1249, and remained on the royal council until 1255.  In 1240, William and David de Bernham, Bishop of St Andrews, were summoned to Rome by Pope Gregory IX, in order to attend a general council.  The latter, however, did not go ahead, and the bishops returned home.  On 18 July 1244, William sanctioned the foundation of Crossraguel Abbey in Carrick, after Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick had given donations to Paisley Abbey for this purpose, but Paisley Abbey had merely founded a chapel and kept the balance.  Bishop William's episcopate saw continued work on the cathedral and significant expansion in the resources of the diocese.  William was a liberal benefactor to his clergy.  William died on 10 November 1258 and was buried in Melrose Abbey three days later. The Orlová monastery (Czech: "benediktinský klášter v Orlové" , Polish: "klasztor benedyktynów w Orłowej" ) was a Benedictine abbey established around 1268 in what is now a town of Orlová in the Karviná District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. Grace Dieu Abbey was a small Cistercian abbey established in 1226 near to the town of Monmouth in south east Wales.  No remains of its buildings can now be seen above ground.  It was originally located on the west bank of the River Trothy, in remote countryside about 2 mi north of the village of Dingestow, but relocated on at least one occasion after being attacked by the Welsh.  Its final site is uncertain, but investigations have focused on a field on the east side of the Trothy, at grid reference [ SO45121311] , and this is the location labeled on OS maps. Radulf (fl.  1223–1226) is an obscure churchman in early 13th-century Scotland, elected as Bishop of Dunblane some time between 1223 and 1225.  The first of only two notices of his existence occurs in an Arbroath Abbey deed where he is styled "Radulf elect of Dunblane"; the document can be dated to 1223–1225.  On 12 January 1226 Pope Honorius III instructed the Bishop of St Andrews, the Bishop of Moray and the Bishop of Caithness, to enjoin a new election for the bishopric of Dunblane, as "R. elected Bishop of Dunblane" had resigned in the Pope's presence a short time before.  There are no clues as to Radulf's career after that.  The Cathedral chapter of the diocese elected one Osbert in his place.  Cockburn suggested Radulf was probably a Frenchman who had immigrated to Scotland, who got elected Bishop, but decided he would rather stay in Continental Europe after he travelled there for consecration, perhaps being offered a better post there. The Emmaus monastery (Czech: "Emauzy" or "Emauzský klášter") is an abbey established in 1347 in Prague.  The area was the only Benedictine monastery of the Bohemian kingdom and all Slavic Europe. The Montmartre Abbey (French: "Abbaye de Montmartre" ) was a 12th-century Benedictine abbey established in the Montmartre district of Paris within the Diocese of Paris. Nicholas de Meaux, also known as Nicholas of Meaux, was a thirteenth-century Abbot of Furness and Bishop of the Isles.  In 1217, with the death of Nicholas, Bishop of the Isles (died 1217), two candidates vied for the vacant position: Nicholas and a certain Reginald (died c. 1226), who is described by the "Chronicle of Mann" as related to the ruling family of the Kingdom of the Isles.  Although the monks of Furness Abbey had elected Nicholas as Bishop of the Isles, as was their right, Nicholas received opposition from the ruling family of the Isles, and never occupied the see. Schlierbach Abbey (German: "Stift Schlierbach" ) is a Cistercian monastery in Schlierbach, Austria founded in 1355, and rebuilt in the last quarter of the 17th century.  The original foundation was a convent for nuns, abandoned around 1556 during the Protestant Reformation.  The abbey was reoccupied as a monastery in 1620, and rebuilt in magnificent baroque style between 1672 and 1712.  The monastery again went into decline with the upheavals before, during and after the Napoleonic era.  It recovered only towards the end of the 19th century.  In the 20th century the abbey established a viable economy based on a glass works, school, cheese manufacturing and other enterprises.  The abbey is open to visitors, who may take tours, attend workshops and dine at the monastery restaurant. Furness Abbey, or St. Mary of Furness is a former monastery located in the northern outskirts of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England.  The abbey dates back to 1123 and was once the second-wealthiest and most powerful Cistercian monastery in the country, behind only Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. The Abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg was an abbey established in 1070 by Arnold of Soissons.
