Archbishop of St. Andrews
.
He was the son of Sir William Graham of Kincardine by Lady Mary Stewart, daughter of King
florins

Patrick became the first Archbishop of St. Andrews when a
Dean of the church of St. Patroclus in Soest in the diocese of Cologne, to investigate charges (of insanity) made against Archbishop Patrick. The result was that Archbishop Patrick was condemned to confine himself to a monastery, residing first at Inchcolm, then Dunfermline, before being imprisoned in Lochleven Castle. He was formally deposed on 9 January 1478 and died later in the year at Loch Leven. He was buried on St. Serf's Inch
