De Regularibus



1436. 8 Kal. Nov. Bologna. (f. 37.)	To the archdeacon of Hainaut (Hannonie) in Liége. Mandate as below. The pope recapitulates his late mandate to the bishop, dean, and John Osichigi, canon, of Clogher, to cause Patrick Ofairceallaich, then perpetual vicar of St. Bridget's, Nurnaig, in the diocese of Kilmore, to be received as a canon of the Augustinian priory of St. Mary, Droimleathan, in the said diocese, and to receive his regular profession [above, p. 384], and after so doing, to summon Cormac Magamuragan, a canon of the said priory (who, without obtaining any canonical dispensation on account of his illegitimacy as the son of Peter Magamuragan, then too a canon of the said priory, and an unmarried woman, had unduly detained possession of the said priory for about five years, as he was still doing), and others concerned, and to collate and assign it to the said Patrick; whether they found that it was still void by the death of its prior, the said Peter (whereby it, being conventual, had become reserved to Martin V under his general reservation of all conventual priories, and, that pope having died without disposing thereof, remained reserved to the present pope), or was void in any other way. At the recent petition of the said Patrick—containing that he formerly incurred sentences of excommunication etc. for simony because, before the date of the said letters, a suit having arisen between him and another about a certain perpetual vicarage in the said diocese, he made an agreement whereby, reserving his right to the vicarage, a yearly pension of one mark upon its fruits etc. was to be paid to him, which he received for some years; and adding that the said John [Osichigi], proceeding alone, has received him as a canon of the said priory, but has not caused him to be received in accordance with the said letters, and has put forth a definitive sentence, which was not then drawn up in writing, by which he made to him, having then made his profession of the said order, de facto provision of the priory; that he has paid money to certain persons on account of the priory, after he had obtained possession in force of the execution of the said sentence, which has become a res judicata, and has detained the priory for some time, as he still does, taking the fruits; and that, being under the said sentences, he has celebrated mass etc.—the pope orders the above archdeacon, after Patrick has duly resigned the priory, to absolve him from the said sentences etc., enjoining a salutary penance, to dispense him on account of irregularity contracted by thus celebrating, and to rehabilitate him. Sedes apostolica, pia mater. (An. and Ciprianus. \| An. xx. de Adria.)
8 Kal. Nov. Bologna. (f. 38d.)	To the same.

The recent petition of William Picton, subprior, and the convent of the Cluniac monastery of St. Pancras, Lewes, in his diocese, contained that formerly Robert Auncell, prior thereof, following the example of his predecessors, gave, granted and assigned in perpetuity, for himself and his successors, to the said William and his successors and the convent 10 marks of yearly rent, payable every year in equal portions at Christmas, Easter, St. John Baptist's and Michaelmas, namely from the pension of the church of St. Olave in Southwerk, London, 6 marks, and from the pension of a moiety of the church of West Walton 4 marks; that he ordained that the subprior for the time being and one monk chosen by common assent should receive the said sum from the said pensions in perpetuity and should administer it for the use of the convent, in return for which gift, grant and assignment the said subprior William and all the convent promised, for themselves and their successors, to observe and solemnly celebrate the anniversary of the said prior on the day of his death, as was wont to be done every year in perpetuity for the late Hugh de Chyntriaco, sometime prior, every year in perpetuity, also an anniversary for Thomas Neland his predecessor, also a daily mass at the altar of St. Mary Magdalen with certain collects and prayers, and a requiem commemoration before the beginning of mass, and after mass a commemoration of the Holy Spirit for the wholesome estate of the said prior, during his life, and after his death for his soul, as well as of his parents and friends; that he further ordained and assigned 13s. 4d. from the said ten marks for the refreshment of the convent both in hall and refectory on the day of his anniversary in perpetuity (pro refectione conuentus predicti tam aule quam refectorii facienda die anniuersarii sui imperpetuum), to be arranged by the said monk elected by the convent as above, subject, however, to the supervision of the subprior for the time being, who should every year, with the seven seniors of the convent, audit the account, alike of the said 13s. 4d., as also of the said [remaining] 9 marks; and enjoined that the subprior for the time being should swear on the Gospels to faithfully perform all the foregoing. etc., as is contained in the sealed letters of the said prior Robert.

7 Id. Sept. Bologna. (f. 129d.)	To the bishop of London. Mandate, at the recent petition of the present abbot of St. Peter the Apostle's, Westminster,—containing that although when the priorship, which is an office without cure (simplex), becomes void it has hitherto been the custom for the abbot for the time being to nominate five, seven, nine or more of the monks for the election or nomination of a new prior, for the said monks to so elect or nominate one of the monks as prior, and for the said abbot to confirm or consent to such election or nomination, nevertheless recently Nicholas Ascheby, an alleged monk professed of the said monastery, pretending that he had been elected or nominated, by way of scrutiny, by some of the monks, has, under pretext thereof and with the support of certain laymen, detained possession of the priorship for about a year, against justice and the said custom, acting as if he were true prior—to summon the said Nicholas and others concerned, and if he find that his said election or nomination was against the said custom or otherwise uncanonical, to declare it to have been and to be null; the pope hereby granting faculty and power in that event to the abbot for the time being and convent to elect etc. and confirm, for this time only, one of the monks to the said office, in accordance, however, with the said custom, and to proceed to make such election etc. and confirmation, even if the time thereof has for this turn lapsed.
