day at their church of Canterbury, to execute the office of consecration of

having long since taken his fealty and restored the temporalities of the
bishopric to him. The king prohibits them, under pain of forfeiture, from
attempting, or from permitting any one else to attempt, anything to the
prejudice of the king's right or the right of the said elect, without consulting the king, by virtue of any order or commission made or to be made to
them by any authority whatsoever. By K. and the great council.

of the patronage of the king and of other magnates of the realm, or with
suspected letters to cause the said letters to be arrested and sent to the king
with all speed, certifying the king of the names of those in whose possessions the letters shall be found, as the king is given to understand that
some persons daily bring such letters into the realm and procure processes
to be made to the disinheritance of the king and his crown and the
prejudice of the magnates. By K. and the great council.

presuming to use them in any way without consulting the king, and order
to be before the king and his council with the said letters at York
in the parliament summoned for the Sunday after the Purification next,
to do and receive what shall then be ordained, as the king understands that
Adam has divested himself of his bishopric in the Roman court, and has
procured his transference to the church of Worcester, which is void by the
death of Thomas de Cobham, the late bishop, who died at Hertelburi, co.
Worcester, to which church Wolstan has been elected, confirmed, and promoted, and has received the temporalities thereof, and that Adam has
brought into the realm divers letters concerning the premises prejudicial to
the crown, and that he intends to use them notwithstanding the king's
inhibitions directed to him several times under the great seal and the privy
seal. By K. & C.

of Exeter, as bishop of Exeter with all speed, and to execute what pertains
to them in this matter, since the archiepiscopal jurisdiction pertains to them
by reason of the voidance of the see of Canterbury, the said John having
been duly elected, and the king having assented to his election and signified
this to Walter, late archbishop of Canterbury, who delayed proceeding to
the confirmation. By K. and the great council. |
|
To the dean and chapter of the cathedral church of Exeter. Prohibition
