To Master John Franciscus Pavinus, a chaplain of the pope and an auditor of causes of the apostolic palace. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of John Alberneti (rectius Abberneti), M.A., clerk, of the diocese of Aberdeen, contained that, after the late James bishop of St. Andrews (under pretext of a faculty granted to that bishop by Nicholas V [see Cal. Papal Letters, Vol. X, p. 172] and revoked by Calixtus III and Pius II, to dispense a certain number of illegitimate persons to be promoted to holy orders and hold two benefices) had after the said revocation dispensed him to be, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of a married man and an unmarried woman, promoted to all, even holy orders and receive and retain two compatible benefices; and after he had, in virtue of the said dispensation, been made a clerk and promoted to the order of acolyte, a dispute arose between him and Thomas Kennedi, John Graham and William Lyon, clerks, about the parish church of Tanades in the diocese of St. Andrews, which, then void by the death of James Kennedi, the said John Alberneti (sic) alleged that he had accepted, and had procured the making of provision to himself thereof (in virtue of letters of the present pope, by which he ordered provision to be made to him of one or two benefices void or to become void, wont to be assigned to secular clerks, even if one had cure or were a rural deanery or archpriestship, or a dignity etc. in a cathedral or a collegiate church etc., in the common or several gift of the bishops of St. Andrews and Moray and the prior of St. Andrews, and the dean of Moray and the chapters etc. of those churches, the pope at the same time dispensing him to receive and retain for life such benefice or benefices, notwithstanding the said defect), and that the said Thomas, John Graham and William had unjustly opposed the said acceptance and provision, and had prevented them from taking effect. the said Thomas etc. alleging on the other hand, as they still do, that the said church lawfully belonged to them: and that the pope committed the cause, although it had not by its nature lawfully devolved to the apostolic see, at the instance of the said John Alberneti (sic), to the above auditor John, who is said to have proceeded, short, however, of a conclusion. The said petition adding that whilst the suit has been pending before the said auditor, the said Thomas has ceded to the pope this day, through his proctor Peter de Brunencho, clerk, of St. Flour, (fn. 7) the said suit and cause and all right in or to the said church, and that the pope has admitted his cession, and that some allege that none of the litigants has a right in or to the church, the pope hereby orders the said auditor to surrogate the said John Alberneti (sic) in and to all right belonging to the said Thomas at the time of the said cession, and to make collation and provision to him of the said right, etc., and moreover, if by the event of the suit he find that neither he nor the said William nor John Graham has such right, to collate and assign the said church, value not exceeding 40l. sterling, to the said John Alberneti (sic). The pope hereby dispenses him to act as a clerk and minister in his orders and receive and retain the church for life, notwithstanding the said defect etc., but as soon as he obtains peaceable possession of it, the said other letters shall be null and void as far only as regards a benefice with cure and of the same value as the said church. Vite etc. (L. Dathus. | xxxviii. B. de Maffeis. Baudetus. D. de Piscia. P. de Monte. Collat. G. Blondus. In the margin: Novembris.) [7 pp. See below, p. 365.] |

The scribe thus treated it as an ordinary concurrent mandate. and began it with the words ‘Simili modo.’ These words have, however, been cancelled, and ‘Paulus etc.’ is substituted for them in the margin, thus making the ordinary form ‘Paulus etc. Venerabilibus fratribus Legionen. et Brechinen. episcopis …, salutem etc. Religionis …’ The initial ‘L. Dathus’ in the margin has, however, to do duty for both mandates, and there is only the one set of final subscriptions, as above, so that only one tax is mentioned.] |
