Biography

James Dundas, D.D. was an Anglican bishop in the early seventeenth century.

A Scot,described as a Professor of Divinity, he was appointed Bishop of Down and Connor in 1612; and held this See until he was deprived a year later. His successor Robert Echlin complained bitterly of the damage he had done to the financial position of the diocese, even in such a short space of time: as a result a Commission of Inquiry was set up to ascertain the loss of revenue and propose remedies.
