To the nuncio of the papal chamber and collector in England of
the fruits thereof for the time being. Prohibition, upon petition of
Richard earl of Arundel and Surrey presented in this parliament
against making henceforth any process or demand against the prior
of Castelacre, which is of the earl's foundation and a cell of the prior
of Lewes, the monks his fellows or their successors, for payment to
the pope's use of first fruits or of a sum of 484l. 9s. 9d., and order at
his peril altogether to stay and cease any levy, process or demand
for the same whatsoever; as that petition shews that William Warenne
sometime prior of Castelacre resigned the priory to the then prior of
Lewes, who appointed another prior, as he might and ought to do,
that although the new prior was in peaceable possession thereof all
his life, the said William craftily made another resignation of the
priory into the pope's hands, making no mention of his first resignation
as he was bound to do, and obtained for himself a papal provision,
binding the prior for payment to the pope of the said sum as the first
fruits of the priory, and that the fruits, rents etc. of the priory are
many times sequestrated by the collectors in England for the time
being, and the prior and monks are many times excommunicated,
suspended etc. for payment of the same; and these things are not to
be borne, especially as the said William was never in possession of
the priory by virtue of the said provision, nor ought first fruits to be
levied or paid of churches or priories which are of lay patronage. |
