Louis XI. of See also:France, and to See also:Edward IV. of See also:England; in 1483 he was appointed bishop of Aberdeen, although his See also:consecration was delayed for four years; and he was sent on See also:missions to England, both before and after the See also:death of See also:Richard III. in 1485. Although he attended the meetings of parliament with See also:great regularity he did not neglect his episcopal duties, and the fabric of the See also:cathedral of Aberdeen owes much to his care. See also:Early in 1488 the bishop was made See also:lord high See also:chancellor, but on the king's death in the following See also:June he vacated this See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, and retired to Aberdeen. As a diplomatist of repute, however, his services were quickly required by the new king, James IV., in whose interests he visited the See also:kings of England and France, and the See also:German king, See also:Maximilian I. Having been made keeper of the privy See also:seal in 1492, and having arranged a dispute between the Scotch and the Dutch, the bishop's concluding years were mainly spent in the See also:foundation of the university of Aberdeen. The papal See also:bull for this purpose was obtained in 1494, and the royal See also:charter which made old Aberdeen the seat of a university is dated 1498. A small endowment was provided by the king, and the university, modelled on that of Paris and intended principally to be a school of law, soon became the most famous and popular of the Scots seats of learning, a result which was largely due to the wide experience and ripe See also:wisdom of Elphinstone and of his friend, See also:Hector See also:Boece, the first rector. The See also:building of the See also:college of the See also:Holy Virgin in Nativity, now King's College, was completed in 1506, and the bishop also rebuilt the See also:choir of his cathedral, and built a See also:bridge over the See also:Dee. Continuing toparticipate in public affairs he opposed the policy of hostility towards England which led to the disaster at See also:Flodden in See also:September 1513, and died in See also:Edinburgh on the 25th of See also:October 1514. Elphinstone was partly responsible for the introduction of See also:printing into Scotland, and for the See also:production of the Breviarium Aberdonense. He may have written some of the lives in this collection, and gathered together materials concerning the See also:history of Scotland; but he did not, as some have thought, continue the Scotichronicon, nor did he write the Lives of Scottish See also:Saints.

The first See also:settlement here, apart from the fort, was made in the autumn of 1889; in 1892 El Reno received a city charter.
