To the precentor of Lismore. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of William Ydonhyn, a monk of the Cistercian monastery of Inishlounaght (de Surio) in the diocese of Lismore, contained that he formerly impetrated papal letters directed to the bishop of Lismore against Dermit Ohyffyrnayn, [now] a monk, then abbot of the said monastery, by which the said bishop was ordered, if he found that the said Dermit had perpetrated certain excesses and crimes [not here expressed], to deprive and remove him, and in that event to make provision to William; that, the said letters having been expedited, he got them sent to those parts by a certain messenger; that Dermit, having learned the said impetration, violently took away or caused to be taken away the said letters from the said messenger, when on his journey and being in the realm of England; and that, information having been given before the said bishop on William's behalf concerning the carrying away of the said letters, and their contents and effect, that bishop, at William's instance, cited Dermit as if the said letters had been presented to him, afterwards subdelegating the cause to Thomas Oflatwayn, a canon of Lismore, who, after lawful proof before him of the taking away of the said letters, and of their substantial form, etc., by his definitive sentence deprived Dermit, and made provision to William, who had been dispensed by the same letters, on account of illegitimacy as the son of an abbot of the said order and an unmarried woman, to be appointed to the said monastery; and that from the said sentence and certain fictitious grievances falsely alleged by Dermit to have been inflicted on him by the said canon before the said sentence, Dermit appealed to the apostolic see, afterwards renouncing the appeal. The said petition adding that William doubts whether the said provision holds good on account of the non-presentation of the original letters [and] for certain other reasons, and the said monastery being, as the pope has learned, still void as above, the pope orders the above precentor to summon Dermit and others concerned, and if he find the said William, who has made his open profession of the said order and is reputed in those parts to be true abbot of the monastery, and who takes the fruits thereof, to be fit, to make provision to him of the said monastery, value not exceeding 70 marks sterling. The pope hereby dispenses him to be appointed abbot etc., notwithstanding the said defect etc., and grants that he may be blessed by any catholic bishop, who shall thereafter receive from him the usual oath of fealty according to the form enclosed.
