14 Kal. Aug.
St. Peter's. Rome.
(f. 146.)
Confirmation of statutes, and dispensation, as below. Urban VI, at the petition of William, bishop of Winchester, containing that with licence of that pope he had instituted near Winchester a college, commonly called ‘Sancte Marie College of Wynchestre’ for seventy poor scholar clerks to study grammar, had deputed a perpetual president, called a warden, and had appointed the said scholars, confirmed the institution, foundation, and construction, etc. Afterwards it was set forth to the present pope by the said bishop that in the deputing of such warden for the government of the scholars, their instructors in grammar, and the many priests and clerks for divine offices, it had been ordained that he must be a graduate in theology or in canon or civil law, and be continually resident, under oath, except when absent on business of the college.
The pope therefore, at the bishop's petition, granted dispensation to the then warden and to the warden for the time being to receive and hold with his wardenship, not to be bound to reside in, and to take in absence and let to farm the fruits etc. of, any benefice, even if a dignity, personatus or office, with or without cure, in a metropolitan, cathedral or collegiate church, even if requiring personal residence. The recent petition of the warden and scholars contains that according to the statutes and ordinances which had been, at the time of the said dispensation, put forth by the bishop, the warden was allowed to absent himself for one month only a year for other causes than the business of the college, and that now, according to new ordinances and statutes of the bishop, he may absent himself for two months and no more, and may be M.A., as is the present warden. The pope therefore, at the bishop's petition, confirms the said new ordinances and statutes, and grants dispensation to the present warden and each of his successors, whether he be a graduate in theology or in canon or civil law or M.A., to receive and hold together with his wardenship and not to be bound to reside in, a parish church or dignity, personatus or office, or any other benefice, with or without cure, even if in a metropolitan or cathedral or collegiate church, and requiring personal residence, to resign the same, simply or for exchange, as often as seems good to him, for a similar or dissimilar benefice, to take the fruits, as though resident, and let them to farm to clerks or laymen. Ad fut. rei mem. Ad ea que commodum. (De mandato.) (Cancelled with strokes, and in margin: Cancellata quia alibi cum eius executoria registrata est, N. de Ben[even]to.)
Ibid.
(f. 147d.)
Confirmation of statutes, and dispensation, as below. Urban VI at the petition of William, bishop of Winchester, containing that with licence of that pope he had founded and built at Oxford a house and chapel for a college and seventy scholar clerks to study theology, canon and civil law and arts, with a perpetual president called a warden, continually resident, under oath, except when absent on business of the college, granted dispensation to the then warden and to the warden for the time being to receive and hold with his wardenship, not to be bound to reside in, and to take in absence and let to farm the fruits etc. of, any benefice, [even if] a dignity, personatus or office, even if with cure and requiring personal residence. The recent petition of the warden and scholars contains that according to the statutes and ordinances which had been, at the time of the said dispensation, put forth by the bishop, the warden was allowed to absent himself, etc., as in the preceding as far as the end. Ad fut. rei mem. Ad ca que commodum. (De mandato.) (Cancelled, with marginal note, as in the preceding.)
14 Kal. Aug.
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 149d.)
Confirmation of the appropriation to the college of St. Mary of Winchester, at Oxford, commonly called ‘Sancte Marie college of Wynchestre,’ of the church of Heghfelde in the diocese of Winchester, value, after deducting the anciently instituted perpetual vicar's portion, not exceeding 24 marks, of the patronage of the warden and scholars of the said college, value not exceeding 1,000 marks, made, with licence of king Richard and with the consent of the prior and chapter of Winchester, by bishop William. Exemplification is given of the bishop's letters (which have the spelling Seinte) dated in the chapel of Farnham castle, 25 June, 1383, indiction 6, the 6th year of Urban VI, and witnessed by Master Nicholas de Alersforde, M.A., perpetual vicar of Dounton, Sir William Boteller, rector of Bryghteston in the Isle of Wight, William de Norton, rector of West Meones, and John de Swafham, public notaries, of the dioceses of Salisbury, Winchester, London, and Norwich. Ad fut. rei mem. Hiis que provide. (De mandato.)
Ibid.
(f. 152.)
To the warden and scholars, present and future, of the college instituted near Winchester by William, bishop of Winchester. Indult for their college, commonly called ‘Sancte Marie College of Wynchestre,’ which the said bishop has instituted, and for which he has founded, built, and endowed a house with a chapel or oratory—in pursuance of two former successive indults (i) to have a cemetery for the members of the college and for other persons desirous of being buried there, without requiring licence of the parish priest, but saving all other rights of the parish church [See Reg. Lat. II, f. 149d] (ii) to receive any oblations, endowments, legacies, etc., without requiring the licence of the diocesan or any other [See Reg. Lat. XIV, f. 107d]—that, the ambiguity due to the omission in the second letters of any mention of the first being abolished, and their authenticity being affirmed, they may receive all such oblations and the whole of the funeral emoluments, without any deduction and without requiring licence, as above. Precipue devocionis. (De mandato.)
Ibid.
(f. 153.)
Confirmation of certain ordinances and statutes made by William, bishop of Winchester, in regard to jurisdiction over the college founded by him at Oxford, etc. as below. Urban VI by successive indults (i) granted that the said wardens, scholars, and other members of the college should be subject to bishop William for his life, and be exempt from the jurisdiction of any other ordinaries, and that their appointment and removal should be in his hands for his life only; (ii) extended the same to all future bishops of Winchester. Bishop William's recent petition to the present pope contained that under the ordinances and statutes made by him the appointment and removal of the warden belongs in certain cases to the bishop of Winchester for the time being, but that as regards the scholars and other persons, their removal only, and not their appointment belongs in certain cases to the same. In accordance with his petition, in furtherance of his desire that the college and the place thereof may enjoy greater liberty, the pope declares that Urban VI's second indult does not confer on the bishop of Winchester for the time being any more jurisdiction or power in the appointment of the warden, scholars and others than is conferred on him by the said statutes; exempts the warden, scholars and others, and the college and place itself, from the jurisdiction of papal legates and delegates, archbishops, bishops, judges, and ecclesiastical ordinaries, and subjects them to that of bishop William and his successors. Ad perp. rei mem. Ea que pro commodo. (De mandato.)

To [Thuribius] bishop of Tuy. Mandate as below. The petition, set forth this day, of Richard Tyrtesbury or Tyttesbury, priest, of the diocese of Exeter, repeats part of the circumstances related above, [Reg. Lat. LII, f. 33] namely, his furnishing of arms; his denunciation of robbers; his share in appeasing the tumult at Oxford; and, although believing himself to have thereby incurred divers sentences and penalties, his holding for three years and more the church of Westbeare; his receiving meanwhile minor orders and those of subdeacon, deacon, and priest, of which orders he fears that he received deacon's simoniacally and priest's from a bishop simoniacally promoted; his saying mass for about five months in places unconsecrated, and in places consecrated but under interdict; his afterwards ceasing to celebrate mass and divine offices, but very often taking part therein as he did before he became priest; his resigning the said church and holding that of Farendon alias Farryngdon for more than a year; his obtaining, on the king's presentation to Edmund, bishop of Exeter, the second moiety or portion of Ermyngton, void by the death of William Falewell, Farendon being resigned, and his holding the said moiety for about a year, by virtue of the said presentation and institution [this fact also appears in Reg. LII, but is there cancelled]. Tyttesbury's said petition further recapitulates the pope's mandate to the above bishop, namely to absolve, dispense and rehabilitate him, and the clause requiring the resignation of the said moiety. The pope now orders the bishop, upon the said mandate being executed, to collate and assign to Tyttesbury the said moiety, value not exceeding 60 marks, void as above, and so long void that by the Lateran statutes its collation has lapsed to the superior [patron]. Vite ac morum.

The bishop's letters state that he has founded a new chapel in the bishop's meadow, called St. Stephen's meadow, before the gate of Wolveseye castle, in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary the Virgin, All Saints, and specially St. Elizabeth of Hungary, with three altars of St. Elizabeth, and two lesser side altars of SS.
