	Concurrent letter to the king of France.
	The like to the king of England.
n.d. (f. 3.)	Indult to archbishops, bishops, abbots, and prelates in France, that they shall be free to grant to fit persons benefices in their gift now held by Italians on their voidance, and that they shall not be held to make provision of them unless special mention be made of this indult in the papal letters.
	The like to the archbishops and others in England.
15 Kal. June. Lateran. (f. 16d.)	Confirmation to the abbot and convent of Theokesbiri of the tithes of their lordship and that of T. de Sanford, in the town of Estum, and two parts of the tithes of the manor of the church of that town which belongs to the monastery, and two parts of the tithes of the lordship of Engliston, which they say they have received for forty years.
9 Kal. June. Lateran. (f. 18d.)	Mandate to the archbishop of Canterbury to publicly excommunicate, with lighted candles, certain persons, if they be found to be laymen, who have taken and held the possessions of the abbot and brethren of Theokesbiri, left to them by will, or who have presumed to issue sentence of excommunication or interdict against the said abbot and brethren, or who have exacted from them tithes of labour of their possessions, held before the general council, cultivated by their own hands or at their cost, or of their fodder: if those who have done this be clerks, canons regular, or monks, he is to suspend them.
13 Kal. July. Lateran. (f. 20d.)	Indult to the abbot and convent of Theokesbiri to retain to their own uses, when void, the church of Fereford, granted to them by pope Lucius, but which their predecessors have negligently granted to secular clerks, and which is now held by Master Gottfrid, papal notary.
14 Kal. July. Lateran. (f. 20d.)	Confirmation to the same of the churches granted to them by their patrons, with the consent of the diocesan, and into which, on their voidance, they entered by indult of pope Honorius, namely, Meresfeld and the parish church of St. Mary, Kerdif, with its appurtenances within and without the burgh.
4 Kal. July. Lateran. (f. 21d.)	Mandate to the deans of the cathedral and of Christianity, and the archdeacon of Lincoln to enforce the papal order made in the cause between the prior and convent of Buttele and the prioress and nuns of Campese in the diocese of Norwich, heard before the abbot of Hulme and his fellow judges, about the small tithes of the church of Diam, and the tithes of a mill of the same place, on which an agreement was come to between the parties under penalty of 100 marks, that the nuns should pay the tithes of the mill to the prior and convent and also in the case of gardens, orchards, and the like, if they have no indult. No prejudice shall arise to the right of the prior and convent in respect of tithes of which they were in possession at the time the indults were obtained, from the fact that no mention was made of it.
5 Non. July. Lateran. (f. 22.)	Indult to Master John de Yston, to hold an additional benefice, that which he has not being sufficient to keep him.
10 Kal. Sept. Anagni. (f. 27.)	Mandate to the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishop of Rochester to publicly excommunicate certain contumacious persons until they make due satisfaction. The pope had directed the bishop of London, the bishop of Rochester then elect, and afterwards the bishop of Coventry to make an order for the payment to Peter Mulectus, a crusader, of a certain sum of money which he had lent to the late Falkes de Briaute, crusader, by M. relict of the said Falkes, William the Marshal, earl of Pembroch and others; but afterwards, on the bishops neglecting to do this, and the said crusader declaring in his presence that in the realm of England no one dared to do him justice, he committed the matter to V. the dean, and Fulk, and B. canons of Lille, who caused to be cited Hugh de Nova Villa and Ralph son of Nicolas, the heirs of earls [William] de Mandeville and [William] of Salesbieres, the heirs of Simon son of the late Simon, W. de Bello Campo, Hugh Bassett, the earl of Chester, the Marshal of England, Godfrey de Brang', Peter de Maulai, and Thomas Basseth. These not having appeared within twelve days after the time fixed, the said judges put the said P. crusader in possession of the goods of the said nobles and ordered the prior and official of Canterbury to excommunicate them, but they have neglected to do so.
1231. 10 Kal. Feb. Lateran. (f. 49.)	Mandate to the bishop of Durham to pay to Juvenal Mannetti and Angelo Maialardi, Roman citizens, a sum of money which R. his predecessor was bound to pay them in nundinis Campanie, as was set forth in the letters written by the pope to the abbot of St. Geneviéve in Paris, to whom the matter was committed, and before whom the bishop urged that by papal indult granted to Englishmen they could not be cited beyond seas in causes relating to money matters, so that the abbot could not proceed in the cause: even if this privilege were so, it would not profit those who had promised to pay in a certain place, since they could be sued where they were domiciled.
8 Id. Feb. Lateran. (f. 50d.)	Licence for H. rector of Thurlestun, to hold an additional benefice.
12 Kal. Feb. Lateran. (f. 53.)	Mandate to J. de Ferentino, archdeacon of Norwich, and C. canon of St. Paul's, London, at the request of the late L. cardinal of St. Cross, uncle of T. son of O. Brancaleone, to assign to his proctor the proceeds of the church of All Saints, Fuldon, which O. his brother held, and a yearly pension of 15 marks, which the archbishop of Canterbury was bound to pay him on his resignation, and which was granted by the pope in order that he might the more readily prosecute his studies, notwithstanding the indult granted to the prelates of England in regard to void benefices.
	The like to the same concerning the church of Ligne, void by the resignation of O., as above.
3 Kal. Mar. Lateran. (f. 55.)	Dispensation to Henry de Coleville, clerk, to hold an additional benefice, that which he now has not exceeding 30 marks.
3 Id. Mar. Lateran. (f. 57d.)	Mandate to the prior and the precentor of Dunestaple and the archdeacon of St. Albans to proceed, according to a papal mandate addressed to the archdeacon of Middlesex and his fellow judges, in a cause between the abbot and convent of Messenden and W. rector of Ambresdon, in the diocese of Lincoln, touching the chapel of Musewell, tithes, and other things, partly heard by the archdeacon of Oxford and his fellow judges delegated by the pope, and by Master R. de Cantilupo and his colleagues, to whom the said judges committed it, and, after an appeal to the pope, by the archdeacon of Middlesex and his fellow judges, who sub-delegated it to Master J. de Sancto Paulo, then official, the archdeacon of London and his colleagues, a compromise having been arrived at between the judges as to the termination of the matter within a certain time, to which, however, W. did not wish to adhere.
Non. Mar. Lateran. (f. 60.)	Mandate to the prior of St. Bartholomew's and the dean of St. Mary le Bow, London, to proceed in a cause between W., perpetual vicar of Renham, and the prior and convent of Ledes, in the diocese of Canterbury, touching tithes and other matters already heard before the dean of London and his fellow judges.
3 Non. Mar. Lateran. (f. 60d.)	Mandate to the bishop of Chichester to assign to Master Alatrinus, papal sub-deacon and chaplain, a benefice equal in value to the treasurership, void by the death of Pandulph, and by the pope granted to the said Master A. but which had been given by the bishop to Master William de Nevill, who was inducted and installed forty days before the pope's letters were presented to the bishop.

5 Gregory IX.



3 Non. April. Lateran. (f. 67.)	Mandate to the archbishop of York, at his request and that of the bishop of Chichester, to dispense with Oddo, his clerk, already dispensed by pope Honorius so that he could hold an additional benefice, with a proviso against illegitimacy, both in regard to illegitimacy and the benefice he has obtained, provided he does not follow in his father's footsteps.
3 Non. April. Lateran. (f. 68.)	Indult to the abbot and convent of Abedon, on petition of J. cardinal of St. Praxed, to appropriate to the uses of hospitality the church of Culdedon in their gift, which the said cardinal has on its voidance, a vicar's portion being reserved.
	[Given by Theiner as above; but see the indults at f. 158d and Vol. xvi., f. 105.]
4 Id. April. Lateran. (f. 76.)	Mandate to the bishop of Ely, the archdeacon of Suthbiri, and the chancellor of Cambridge, on petition of the Cluniac prior and convent of La Charité, that on a voidance of the priory of Conventry, which belongs to their church, a prior was appointed by their prior, who afterwards, without consulting either his convent, or that of La Charité, professed obedience to the bishop of Lincoln. On this the prior of La Charité removed him from the priory, and from time to time has appointed others, but he obtained papal letters to the bishop of Bath and others, who put the said bishop in possession as guardian. The bishop compelled the convent of Daventry to elect a prior threatening to expel them if they did not, and instituted him to Coventry, whereupon he was excommunicated by the prior of La Charité. On his death, when the prior instituted another, the bishop not only would not let him enter the priory, but procured him grievous injuries, although the brethren of the order of Cluny have an indult which exempts them from obedience to any bishop. And since the prior and convent of La Charité were unable to obtain possession of their convent within a year. they petitioned, but the bishop's proctor opposed their petition, on the ground that the priory of Coventry was subject to the bishop, and, on the death of prior W., was vacant for a long time, so that its provision, according to the Lateran council, lapsed to the bishop, who wished to appoint a fit person but was hindered by the prior and convent of La Charité. In this way papal letters were obtained against them to the bishop of Bath and his fellow judges, who cited them before them, and on their refusal to appear declared them contumacious, and put the bishop in possession, and this judgement the latter prays the pope to confirm. The pope now orders the above judges, with the assent of the proctors of either party, on security given by the prior and convent of La Charité to restore to them the possession of the monastery and to [re]hear and decide the question. If [the proctors will] not [assent] they are to remit the cause to be examined by the pope.
8 Kal. May. Lateran. (f. 82.)	Monition to the king of England to walk in the fear of God, who will convert his enemies to peace.
7 Kal. May. Lateran. (f. 82.)	The like to him, in view of the danger threatening the Holy Land, to make peace or truce with the king of France, to whom the pope has addressed a like counsel. The pope has appointed the bishop of Winchester for the king, and the archbishop of Sens for the king of France, to arrange the terms of the treaty. [Raynaldi, xxi. 50.]
	The like to the king of France.
10 Kal. May. Lateran. (f. 83.)	Mandate to the prior of St. Mary's Suthwerch and the deans of Suthwerch and St. Mary le Bow, on petition of the prior and canons of Ginges, to proceed in a cause between them and Thomas, called ‘Capra,’ of the diocese of Norwich, who has cited them before the precentor of Barnewelle and his colleagues, touching a yearly rent, their exception being that the said T. made an agreement not to demand the rent: the said judges having refused to admit their exception, they have appealed to the pope.
8 Kal. May. Lateran. (f. 85d.)	Licence to Master Raynold de Leicestria, to hold and additional benefice, with cure of souls, that which he now has not exceeding seven marks.
6 Kal. May. Lateran. (f. 86.)	Mandate to the archbishop of Canterbury, the archdeacon, and Master W. canon of St. Mary's, London, to proceed in a cause between Master Laurence, rector of Abbot's Ann, studying at Bologna, and R. a priest of the diocese of Chichester, touching the said church, which he says he holds by papal mandate, papal letters having been addressed to the prior of St. Frideswide's, Oxford, and others citing the said rector, whose proctor, on their refusing to grant a sufficient time for the rector to consult him, appealed to the pope on his behalf.
2 Non. May. Lateran. (f. 89.)	Dispensation. on the recommendation of P. bishop of Winchester, with whom he has been employed abroad, to Peter de Cancellis, clerk, to hold an additional benefice, with cure of souls, on condition that he provide a fit vicar to serve the one in which he does not reside.
Ibid. (f. 89d.)	The like to the archdeacon of Winchester.
Non. May. Lateran. (f. 94.)	Mandate to the sub-dean of York on the petition of P. a clerk, son of G. de Neville, sometime the king's chamberlain, dispensed by pope Honorius in a mandate to the late bishop Pandulph, papal legate, to hold an additional benefice, that which he had not exceeding 30 marks, to confirm the said dispensation verbally granted by the said bishop.
6 Kal. June. Lateran. (f. 101.)	Mandate to the archdeacon of Norwich to hear and decide a cause between Martin de Summa, papal sub-deacon, rector of Damerham, and the abbot and convent of Glastonbury, and V. clerk, of the diocese of Salisbury, about the chapel of Merton, belonging to the said church, already tried before the dean of Exeter and his fellow judges, who pronounced in his favour. The other side, making a vexatious appeal, ejected him from the said chapel, and, on his excepting before the chancellor of Wells and his colleagues, to whom letters on the above appeal had been obtained, that, as he had been despoiled pending appeal, he was not bound to answer until restitution had been made, such exception was not admitted: upon this, he has appealed to the pope, and prays that the cause so long protracted may be brought to a close, which the pope orders to be done, or else remitted to him, or, if not, to remit the examination of it to the said chancellor and his colleagues.
8 Kal. July. Bieti. (f. 104.)	Dispensation to Master Peter Rusciniol, rector of Drochoneford, to hold an additional benefice.

	Concurrent letters to the archbishops and bishops in England and Ireland.
13 Kal. Aug. Rieti. (f. 111d.)	Indult to the king, on his petition, that the great men and barons of his realm shall not be bound to go when cited by papal letters to places without the realm, whither they cannot pass without danger, or without crossing hostile territory. [Fædera.]
Ibid. (f. 112.)	Monition to the same to warn the said great men and barons not to bind themselves to anyone, so as to be summoned without the realm, as the pope could not refuse justice if demanded.
13 Kal. Aug. Rieti. (f. 112.)	Faculty to the same to call to his council such prelates of his realm as he shall think fit. [Shirley, i. 549.]
2 Kal. Aug. Rieti. (f. 112d.)	Licence for Master Roger de Cantilupo, clerk, to hold an additional benefice, that which he has not exceeding 22 marks, and being insufficient to meet his expenses, especially those of hospitality.
13 Kal. Aug. Rieti. (f. 112d.)	Indult, at the king's request, to the prior and convent of Canterbury, to enjoy all privileges and indugences whether granted by popes or archbishops, notwithstanding lapse of time and desuetude.
2 Kal. Aug. Rieti. (f. 113d.)	Confirmation, with exemplification, of the grant made by R. archbishop of Canterbury, of 50 marks to be paid yearly from the rents of his manor of Wingeham to the monastery of Monte d'Oro, Anagni, dated July 1231.

Those who have no papal dispensation are to return to their cures within three months, those who have an indult for nonresidence are to appoint perpetual vicars, able to support the episcopal, archidiaconal, repairing (sarcitectorum), and other charges: and pluralists with papal indults are to do the like.
Kal. Oct. Rieti. (f. 129d.)	Indult to the prior and convent of Meriton, in the diocese of Winchester, that they shall not be summoned to answer in a cause in which they are concerned, relating to their property, at a distance of more than two days' journey from their monastery, unless special mention be made of this indult in the papal letters.
3 Id. Dec. Rieti. (f. 141.)	Inhibition to the archbishop of Cashel and his suffragans to submit to secular judgment, even if they themselves be willing to yield thereto. [Theiner, 28.]
