Confirmation, with exemplification, of the appropriation to the Cistercian abbot and convent of Vale Royal, of the church of Lampadervaur (Llanbadarn Vawr), of their patronage, void by the consecration of its rector, Robert, to the see of Coventry and Lichfield.

(f. 66.)
To Simon, bishop of London. Mandate to summon the bishops of Norwich and Lincoln, and others, and obtain a taxation according to the canons of the vicars’ portions of certain churches appropriated to the warden and college of scholars of Valence Marie Hall, Cambridge. A Former petition stated that faculty to the then bishop of London to make appropriations to the value, after assigning vicars’ portions, of 100l. was obtained by Mary de-Sancto Paulo, countess of Pembroke, their founder, from Clement VI.; and that bishop Ralph appropriated to them Saxthorp (value 13l. 6s. 8d.) his successor Michael Tilneye (80l.) and Simon himself Wareslec (8l.) in the dioceses of Norwich and Lincoln, vicars’ portions, being assigned, so that as the total exceeded 100l. by 26s. 8d. the warden and college doubted whether they might not be molested touching the last-named church; whereupon the present pope confirmed its appropriation, such excess notwithstanding. In their present petition they doubt whether the diocesans’ taxation of the vicars’ portions, which has not yet been made, may not prove excessive. [Cal. Pet. i. 410; See Reg. cclxxxij. f. 141d.]
