Provision to him, prior of the Cluniac priory of la Charité in the diocese of Auxerre, S.T.M., priest, of the above abbey, which became void by the death of Étienne [Pierrexi, as ibid.], during whose life the pope had specially reserved it, and upon whose death the convent, perhaps in ignorance of the reservation, elected as abbot Guy de Insula, a monk of the same, who, perhaps also in ignorance, consented thereto and who subsequently caused the matter of the election to be set forth in consistory before the pope, who hereby holds it null. He is to wear the habit worn in St. Peter's. Inter solicitudines.

(f. 127.)
To the bishop of Aberdeen. Mandate as below. On the death of Robert, abbot of the Cistercian abbey of Der in the diocese of Aberdeen, during whose life the pope specially reserved it, the pope made provision thereof to William Belle, now monk of the same. Meanwhile, as the recent petition of Andrew de Tyry, monk of Der, contained, the convent, perhaps in ignorance of the said reservation, elected him, who is a priest and who, likewise ignorant, consented to the election, obtained its confirmation, in accordance with ancient custom, by William, abbot of Kynloss in the diocese of Moray, the father abbot of Der, and had himself blessed by the above bishop, under pretext of which he has obtained possession. Seeing that the said William did not cause his letters of provision to be expedited within the due period, so that the above provision to him is null, the pope, considering the said election and confirmation etc. to be also null, and not having certain knowledge as to the alleged merits of the said Andrew, orders the above bishop to summon William and others concerned, and if he find the monastery, the value of whose abbatial mensa does not exceed 100l. sterling, to be void as above or otherwise, and if he find Andrew to be fit, to make provision to him. Before taking possession of the administration Andrew is to take to the above bishop the usual oath of fealty to the pope. Ad ea ex apostolice seruitutis.

Ad ea ex apostolice. (Franciscus. xxx. Terciodecimo Kal. Octobris Anno Septimo. de Agello.)
