andrew munro -lrb- died before 24 october 1454 -rrb- -lsb- de munro , de munroy -rsb- , or aindréas mac an rothaich as his gaelic kindred name , was a scottish churchman active in the 15th century , undoubtedly given his surname a native of ross of clan munro .
in either 1421 or 1422 , he became archdeacon of ross on exchange with john de inchmartin , and was issued a new papal provision on 6 october 1422 ; his provision was repeated on 11 march 1431 .
following the death of john bullock , bishop of ross , in either 1439 or 1440 , munro was postulated as bullock 's successor by the cathedral chapter ; his postulation , rather than election , occurred because munro had a `` defect of birth '' , being the son of an unmarried woman and a priest .
despite much effort and expense , the postulation was rejected by pope eugenius iv , who provided instead thomas tulloch , the cathedral dean .
in compensation , on 4 march 1441 , eugenius granted munro a pension of # 40 , to be taken from the mensal revenues of the bishop of ross .
munro however sought confirmation of his postulation from the anti-pope , felix v , at basel in the kingdom of germany .
felix v confirmed munro 's postulation on 30 may but it was not effective .
munro is heard of again as the commissary of the diocese of ross in 1451 , while still holding the archdeaconry ; he had died by 24 october 1454 .
