supersedeas in respect of any process against the abbot of Vale Royal
for the levy within the diocese of St. Davids of the tenth last granted to
the king by the clergy of the province of Canterbury, and order to
discharge him thereof; as his complaint shews that his abbey is
situate in Cheshire within the diocese of Coventre and Lichefeld,
that he is by Richard bishop of Coventre and Lichefeld deputed to be
one of the collectors of the said tenth in that diocese, and is in person
daily busied in the collection thereof, but that John bishop of St.
Davids has appointed him a collector in his diocese in Wales for that
the abbot has the appropriated church of Llanpedervawe in the
diocese of St. Davids; and the king is aware that it is unreasonable
to charge the abbot with that collection in the diocese of St. Davids,
seeing that he dwells continually in his abbey within the diocese of
Coventre and Lichefeld, and is appointed a collector there. The
king has commanded the bishop of St. Davids to appoint another
collector for whom he will answer instead of the abbot, and to certify
his name to the treasurer etc. on the morrow of Michaelmas next. |
