Assignment to Walter bishop of Norwich from the fruits etc. due to the papal Camera in England (after, however, 2,000 florins of gold of the Camera have been paid therefrom, in accordance with the pope's order, to the merchants from whom the pope received that sum some months ago) of a like sum of 2,000 gold florins of the Camera which the said bishop has lent free of interest, (fn. 1) and which have been received from him in ready money (fn. 2) this day and deposited at the ordinary receipt of the Camera by Ambrose de Spa(n)nochiis de Piccolominibus, merchant of Siena, the pope's banker (fn. 3) ; with mandate hereby to Vincent Clementis, collector of the said fruits etc., to pay the bishop the said sum, which the pope also hereby orders to be allowed in Vincent's accounts by Lewis cardinal priest of S. Laurence's in Damaso, the pope's chamberlain, and the treasurer and clerks of the said Camera. Ad fut. rei mem. Apostolice sedis providentia. (G. de Piccolominibus. | Coll(ationata) B. Jo. de Salas.)

To the bishops of Ely and Exeter, dwelling at London. (fn. 4)
Mandate, as below. The pope lately (upon its being set forth to him on behalf of the abbot and convent of St. Mary's, Wymundham, O.S.B., in the diocese of Norwich, that although, before the erection of the priorship into the abbatial dignity by papal authority [Cal. Papal Lett., Vol. X, p. 19, 20 and 50], they were exempted from all jurisdiction archiepiscopal, episcopal and archidiaconal etc., paying to the bishop of Norwich by way of indemnities 40s. of English money a year, nevertheless Walter bishop of Norwich and his officers cited, admonished, convoked etc. the said abbot and convent, whereby they were hindered from divine service etc.) believing the aforesaid to be true, at the petition of the abbot and convent exempted the monastery and all its appropriated parishes and churches (fn. 5) from all archiepiscopal and episcopal jurisdiction etc., as before the said erection. The recent petition, however, of the said bishop contained that the monastery and its parishes and churches (fn. 6) were never exempted from the jurisdiction of the ordinary before the said erection, and that the said pension of 40s. was payable, not by way of indemnities, as was falsely set forth, but for the annual visitations of the said parish churches (fn. 1) by the bishop or his deputies, and that the said exemption made by the pope is to the great prejudice and loss of the church of Norwich. The pope therefore at the said petition and that of Edward king of England, orders the above two bishops, if they find the foregoing to be true etc., to annul the said exemption etc., and to restore the bishop, present and future, to his original state as regards his said jurisdiction, and to hear, decide and terminate all causes between him and the abbot and convent, which causes the pope hereby calls up to himself, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure, without appeal etc., and invoking if necessary the aid of the secular arm. Romani pontificis. (G. de Piccolominibus. | Coll(ationata) B. Jo. de Salas.) [3¼ pp. In the margin, as before, is ‘car(dinalis).’ See above, p. 489.] |

To the archbishop of Cashel. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Redmond (Readmundus) Baren, chancellor of Cashel, contained that a dispute formerly arose between Matthew Ogriffa, [now] elect of Killaloe (Laonien.), and John Ohedian and Cornelius Omolcom, priests, of Cashel, about the deanery of Cashel (the latter two of whom still claim it), that, whilst the cause has been pending before the said archbishop, the said Matthew has been elected and appointed bishop of Killaloe, wherefore the said deanery is to become void by the said promotion and by the consecration to be administered to the said elect. The pope therefore orders the archbishop to surrogate Redmond in and to all whatever right belonged to the said Matthew at the time of the said appointment, and to make him collation and provision of such right, etc., and moreover, if he find by the result of the said suit that neither John nor Cornelius has a right in or to the deanery, to reserve to the archbishop's gift, for collation to Redmond, the deanery itself, a major dignity with cure, value not exceeding 24 marks sterling, upon obtaining which he shall resign the said chancellorship.
