To William Croyser, canon of Dunkeld, M.A. Grant as below. The pope has this day (by other letters making mention of an earlier grant to him by the pope of provision of a benefice with or without cure in the gift of the bishop and chapter of Aberdeen) ordered collation and provision to be made to him of the canonry and prebend in Glasgow and the archdeaconry of Teviotdale (Thevidalie) in that church, which became void by the death of James Walteri [below,p. 93]. Seeing that the pope had made to him, not the said grant, but another grant of two benefices, with or without cure, wont to be assigned to secular clerks, in the gift of the bishops and chapters of Aberdeen and St. Andrews, and dispensed him to hold together for life such two incompatible benefices, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, and hold instead two other incompatible benefices, lest the said letters ordering the provision to him of the above canonry and prebend and archdeaconry be attacked as surreptitious, the pope hereby grants that they shall hold good, and that the executors thereof may and shall proceed in virtue alike of them and of these presents, as if they contained full and express mention of the above second grant and dispensation. Litterarum etc. (Antonius. xvi. Decimo septimo Kal. Jan. Anno Tercio. de Ponto.)

To the same. Grant as below. Peter de Luna, called Benedict XIII, granted to him in commendam the parish church of Kyrkgun [z]en in the diocese of Glasgow, value not exceeding 20 marks of old sterlings, united to the Cistercian monastery of Volme in the diocese of Carlisle, for his life and as long as the said monastery should remain without the obedience of the said pope. At his petition, setting forth that he has held the said church for some years and that the said union, if such exist, will be of little profit to the said monastery on account of the wars between England and Scotland, the pope renews to him the said grant in commendam until a lasting peace be made. He is a student of theology, holds a canonry and prebend in Dunkeld, value not exceeding 6 marks, is litigating about the parish church of Torbalton in the diocese of Glasgow, value not exceeding 40 marks, of which he has not got possession, and the present pope has granted him provision of a canonry and prebend and the precentorship, which is a dignity with cure, in Moray, value not exceeding 50 marks (cf.p. 92), and of a benefice with or without cure in the gift of the bishop and chapter of Aberdeen, and has dispensed him to hold together for three years Torbalton and the said precentorship [below, pp. 92, 93]. Litterarum etc.
Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Oloron, the abbot of Melros in the diocese of Glasgow and the archdeacon of Lothian (Laudonie) in St. Andrews. Litterarum etc. (Subscribed: Antonius. xiiiior. xvi.

To Donatus Olucheran, priest, of the diocese of Armagh. Rehabilitation on account of the following. Formerly, after having received papal dispensation, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, he obtained the rectory of Achadluuga in the above diocese, which, after receiving a portion of the fruits, he resigned upon another claiming it under a papal provision. He also obtained, without further dispensation on account of the said defect, the rectory of Arigaldacherog in the same diocese by collation of the ordinary, which he held for more than a year without having himself ordained priest and without obtaining dispensation super hoe, and which he has also resigned.

The pope has to-day made collation and provision to him, who says he is of a noble family, of the above priory, an elective major dignity with cure, previously reserved, without making mention of its value. At his petition (containing that the prior has no revenue apart from the capitular mensa, but that all the goods belong to the prior and chapter in common, and that he desires the mention of his being of noble family to be suppressed in the letters of collation, as being likely to give rise to difficulty) the pope grants that the said letters shall hold good, and that the executors thereof may and shall proceed as if the value of the priory were fully expressed according to the common valuation, and as if the said mention were not made. Religionis etc. [See above, p. 63.]
