Subsequently, as the recent petition of Thady Occeallayd, clerk, of the diocese of Clonfert, contained, the said Richard duly made the accusation etc., and the said Matthew promulgated a definitive sentence in favour of Richard and against William, which became a res judicata. Seeing however that, as the said petition added, upon the voidance of the deanery and the archdeaconry of Clonfert, major and non-major dignities respectively, and of the rectory of Woranmor in the diocese of Annadown, which are [sic] also of the patronage of laymen, the said Thady (under pretext of certain letters of the said pope ordering provision to be made to him of one or two benefices in certain specified gifts, even if such one or one of such two had cure or were a canonry and prebend, dignity etc. in a cathedral, even metropolitan or a collegiate church, provided that such dignity were not major or principal respectively) got provision made to him, first of the said deanery, and afterwards, upon his resigning it, provision of the said rectory of Woranmor, believing them to be comprised in the said grant, and subsequently, upon his resigning the said rectory of Woranmor, provision of the said archdeaconry, then detained by another, detaining the three in succession for some time, and taking fruits, from the deanery none, from the said rectory of Woranmor about 6d. of the money current in those parts, and from the archdeaconry (which he also afterwards resigned) none. Seeing that, as the pope has been informed by Thady, the said William and Richard have committed simony in regard to the said rectory of Athnaryg, and have dilapidated the goods and fruits thereof, they holding possession of it in common, the pope, hereby rehabilitating Thady on account of any irregularity contracted in consequence of the foregoing, orders the above three, if and after Thady (who is illegitimate, being the son of a bishop in priest's orders and an unmarried woman,) accuses William and Richard before them etc., to make inquiry, and if they find the above to be true, to deprive both of them of the said rectory of Athnaryg and all right therein or thereto, and to remove them, and in that event to collate and assign the said rectory of Athnaryg, with cure and value not exceeding 30 marks sterling, to Thady, provided that the patrons consent.
