St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 267r.)
To the prior of St. John Baptist's by le Naenach in the diocese of Killaloe (Laonien.), and the chancellor and the precentor of Killaloe. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by David de Burgo, clerk, of the diocese of Clonfert, that John de Burgo, a canon of Clonfert, holding a canonry of that church and the prebend of Drotte therein, to which is annexed for his life the rectory of Lochriach in the said diocese, of lay patronage, has been present at warlike acts in which divers men have been mutilated and slain, has committed and been convicted of perjury, and has omitted the canonical hours to which he is bound. At the recent petition of the said David, containing that the fruits etc. of the said canonry and prebend are insufficient for the maintenance of their holder, and praying that (upon the cessation of the said union, in the event of the deprivation of the said John) the said rectory may be united de novo to the said canonry and prebend for David's lifetime only, the pope hereby orders the above three (inasmuch as David has no hope of obtaining justice in the city or diocese of Clonfert) to summon the said John, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him from the said canonry and prebend and rectory, and in that event to unite the said rectory, void by such deprivation, to the said canonry and prebend, value 40 and 6 marks sterling respectively, for the lifetime of the said David (who is in his eighteenth year, and who, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of an unmarried nobleman and a married woman, has been made a clerk by authority of the ordinary), and moreover to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend and the said annex. The pope further dispenses him to be promoted to minor orders, and when of age, to all, even holy orders, and to receive and retain the said canonry and prebend and annex, notwithstanding the said defect of birth, etc. Apostolice sedis prouidentia circumspecta. (At the end: N. xx. Septimo Id. Marcii anno ottauo. Garilliati.) [4 pp.]
