His beloved clerk and orator Master Simon Dods, parson of Invernochtie, has founded an altar of the Holy Blood in Aberdeen cathedral with certain annual rents for divine service to be made for the souls of the king's ancestors and the earl of Mar, and has built a chamber on the manse of Invernochtie.
