when archdeacon, by Hel[ias] and others for homicide, four corrupt witnesses being produced, of whom three were minors, and ordered to purge himself by fifty-eight priests of that diocese and tongue, on which the priest appealed, on the ground that so many priests of that tongue could not be found; but the archdeacon, disregarding the appeal, suspended him, on which he petitioned the pope.

(f. 166d.) |
Mandate to G. cardinal legate of St. Martin's, the archbishop of York, and the bishop of Salisbury, touching a petition of G. archdeacon of Norwich. He states that pope Innocent ordered the above named (the bishop of Salisbury being then bishop of Chichester) either to terminate the suit between himself and Master R. de Eboraco about the bishopric of Ely, or to remit it to Rome, but, on account of the troubles of the realm, this order could not be carried out, and the proctor of the said R. asserting that the archbishop was at such a distance from Ely that he could not, without heavy expense, take cognisance of the cause, cleverly contrived that the cause should be delegated to the abbot of Waltham and his colleagues, one of whom was at a distance of four days' journey from the rest. When the parties appeared before these judges, the same Master [R.], to put off the decision, propunded that he, having been despoiled, could not proceed in the cause. He, however, had not been despoiled by the archdeacon or anyone belonging to him, but by Falk, a knight, and other ministers of the king, who held Ely, and cast out of the church and city the aiders and abettors of Lewis. His return would injure the king and realm. The archdeacon has, therefore, prayed the pope to remit the cause to the above, and this he does, notwithstanding the letters to the contrary obtained by the said Master [R.]. |

Although the said proceeds were granted by the pope for three years to the crusade, on the provost's taking the cross, it appears from letters of the king and G. cardinal legate, and the chapter of York, that the provost made no testamentary disposition of such proceeds, as was suggested, but resigned his benefices before setting out, and, on taking the vow, went to Fountains Abbey, where he died as an oblate of the monastery. |

To the reply which the adverse party made, that the cause was remitted to the pope, Adam answered that it was remitted without instructions, so that the said legate and bishop were [in fact] ordered not to take cognisance, but to execute, and his witnesses and deeds were produced, not that they as judges should take cognisance, but to show that they ought not to proceed in the execution of the said matter. To the rejoinder made by the adverse party, that the right in the church was acquired by papal collation, he answered that this was by no
means true, since it was not likely that it was the pope's intention to collate to his prejudice a church that was not void, wherefore he prayed the pope to impose silence on the said subdeacon [Pandulph], and to place himself [Adam] in possession of the church. |
