**Galfredus**, **Galfred** or **Geoffrey de Liberatione** was [Bishop of Dunkeld](/source/Bishop_of_Dunkeld) and [Bishop-postulate of St Andrews](/source/Bishop_of_St._Andrews). He was a clerk to King [Alexander II of Scotland](/source/Alexander_II_of_Scotland) as early as 1219, as well as being a canon of [Dunkeld](/source/Dunkeld_Cathedral) and [precentor](/source/Precentor) of [Glasgow](/source/Glasgow_Cathedral). He was elected to the bishopric of Dunkeld in 1236. After an investigation by [Pope Gregory IX](/source/Pope_Gregory_IX) regarding a defect of birth possessed by Galfred, he was confirmed as bishop in sometime in 1237.

In 1238, after the death of [William de Malveisin](/source/William_de_Malveisin), bishop of St Andrews, Geoffrey was postulated to that see. However, this postulation was disallowed by the Pope, and Geoffrey remained bishop of Dunkeld. Geoffrey was one of the bishops present at the coronation of King [Alexander III](/source/Alexander_III_of_Scotland) in 1249. He died at [Tibbermore](/source/Tibbermore) (then Tippermuir) on St Cecilia's Day (22 November) 1249. He was buried in the cathedral of Dunkeld.
