The prose could stand some further work before the article is promoted much beyond GA. For example, the use of semicolons should be curtailed (there are three sentences in a row with semicolons at one point), and more caution should be utilized with commas. You may also want to reconsider the arrangement of headings. The entire article is a biography, so I don’t see any reason to designate that as a first-level heading.

In the second paragraph of the section #Bishop of Dunblane, it is said that Nicholas witnessed a number of royal acts, the last one on 8 February 1319. However, the last paragraph of the same section says that his last appearance on an act took place one year earlier, on 8 February 1318. It may just be a typo, but I cannot check the references.
