Abbot of Iona (Benedictine)
The Benedictine Abbot of Iona (later Commendator of Iona) was the head of the Benedictine monastic community of Iona Abbey, Iona, western Scotland. It was founded in 1203 by Ragnall, son of Somairle mac Gille Brigte, king of Argyll and the Isles, although there had been a Scottish/Irish monastery there for the previous seven centuries.
