 But the first three sees just mentioned were taken from York in 1072.In 1154 the suffragan sees of the Isle of Man and Orkney were transferred to the Norwegian archbishop of Nidaros (today's Trondheim), and in 1188 all the Scottish dioceses except Whithorn were released from subjection to York, so that only the dioceses of Whithorn, Durham, and Carlisle remained to the archbishops as suffragan sees.Of these, Durham was practically independent, for the palatine bishops of that see were little short of sovereigns in their own jurisdiction.
