To the bishop of Beirut (Bericen.), the abbot of St. Saviour's, Bermo[n]dsay, in the diocese of Winchester, and Thomas Hope, a canon of York. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Robert Sturdi, rector of Alyngton in the diocese of Canterbury, contained that although the tithes of certain pastures and of the hay of certain meadows within the bounds of the parish of the said church belong to the rector, nevertheless William Donys, perpetual vicar of the said church, falsely alleging that they belonged to him, prevented the said Robert from taking them, wherefore the latter brought him before Thomas Winterborn, auditor-general of causes of the court of Thomas, cardinal priest of St. Ciriac's in Terminis [sic], who holds the church of Canterbury by papal dispensation; and that after the said auditor had proceeded, short of a conclusion, the said cardinal, with the consent of the parties, called up the cause to himself, and committed it to David Williani [sic], who has kept it in suspense for more than two years, and has refused Robert's request to determine it, wherefore the latter has appealed to the apostolic see, and has petitioned the pope to commit the cause of the said appeal, etc., and that of the principal matter to some upright men in those parts. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three to summon the said William and others concerned, hear both sides, and, taking cognizance of the principal matter also, decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure.

To John, bishop of Lismore and Waterford. Dispensation, as below. Lately, after the pope had made provision to him of the said united churches, it was set forth to the pope on his behalf that at the time thereof he was holding the parish church of Baudorp in the diocese of Bath and Wells, and that the fruits etc. of the said united churches were insufficient, wherefore the pope decreed that the said parish church had not become and was not void by the said provision and by the consecration which was to be conferred on him, and dispensed him to retain it in commendam with the said united churches, and also one other benefice with or without cure wont to be held by secular clerks, even if a parish church, etc., and to resign both, etc. The pope now dispenses him, who in virtue of the said dispensation holds the parish church of Langvorth and (having resigned that of Baudorp) the perpetual vicarage of Hyghvorth in the diocese of Salisbury, value together 40l. sterling, which are insufficient (especially because a certain adversary has intruded himself into the said united churches, under pretext of a fictitious resignation, and has detained possession for more than three years), to receive and retain in commendam for life with the said two benefices any two other benefices with or without cure, secular or regular, and to resign them, etc. Personam tuam.

The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and retain them, and any other benefices compatible with them, with or without cure, and to be promoted to all holy, even priest's orders, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Dignum arbitramur.

To Robert, [bishop] elect of Glasgow. Indult, as below.

Cist., in the diocese of Glasgow, and another of 30 marks from the precentorship of Dunkeld, reserved to him lately by papal authority. The pope now grants him indult, motu proprio, that even after he has been consecrated and has received peaceful possession of the rule etc. of the said church of Glasgow, he may continue to receive the said pensions for life and for as long as he is bishop of that church.

To the official of Ardfert. Mandate, as below. The deanery of Ardfert, a major dignity, has become void by the death of Edmund Fismoris extra R.c., and ipso facto reserved to the pope under his late reservation of all major dignities, void and to be void; and the pope has learned that the perpetual vicarage of Edna in the diocese of Ardfert has been so long void that its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although William Nou, clerk, has detained possession of it for between fourteen and sixteen years, without any dispensation on account of his illegitimacy as the son of a priest and a married woman, or of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, or of a priest and an unmarried woman, or of an unmarried man and a married woman, and without any right. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above official to summon the said William and others concerned, and unite the said vicarage to the said deanery, value 8 and 20 marks sterling, respectively, for the lifetime of Patrick Fismoris, clerk, of Ardfert, who is by one parent of baronial, and by both parents of noble birth, and who lately, without canonical title, received some fruits from the precentorship, (fn. 6) of the said church of Ardfert, and afterwards resigned it, the pope further rehabilitating him on account thereof. In the event of their making the said union they are to collate and assign to him the said deanery, elective and with cure. Sedes apostolica pia mater. (At the end: G. xxv. Undecimo Kal. Junii anno duodecimo. Polycarpus.) [3½ pp.] |
