What year was the abbey established that elected Nicholas as Bishop of the Isles?
Nicholas de Meaux:  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. Furness Abbey:  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.
