John Fraser (bishop)
John Fraser (died 1507) was a late medieval Scottish prelate. Born about 1429 or 1430 if later tradition can be believed, with strong connections to the burgh of Linlithgow, Fraser held a variety of high-level ecclesiastical positions in Scotland, including being the first Dean of Restalrig collegiate church (which he helped to found) before becoming Bishop of Ross in 1497, a position he held until his death in 1507.

“Gracious Lord, oh bomb the Germans.
Spare their women for Thy Sake,

Don’t let anyone bomb me.”
