St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 1.) |
To the bishop of Tuy, the abbot of Westminster without the walls, London, and the dean of London. Mandate, as below. Lately Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury, as the pope has recently learned, made collation and provision to Robert Wytton, [now] canon of London, doctor of canon law, of the canonry and prebend of Twyforde alias Twyforth in London, so long void by the death of John Danby that their collation had lapsed to the see of Canterbury, although John Hyldiard alias
Hylliard, clerk, of the diocese of York, unduly detained them. Afterwards the archbishop, upon John's opposing the said collation and provision, and preventing them from taking effect, gave commission, at Robert's instance, to Thomas Stowe, dean of London, and John Barnet, official of Canterbury, of whom the dean, proceeding alone, gave a definitive sentence in behalf of Robert, under which he obtained possession. Robert now doubts whether the said collation and provision hold good. The pope therefore orders, motu proprio, the above to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, still void, as above, value not exceeding 16 (sic) marks. Litterarum sciencia, vite etc. (De mandato.) [See Cal. Lett. IV, pp. 352, 383, 384, and below
f. 114.] |
4 Kal. Aug.
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 6) |
To the bishops of Rochester and Telese, and Nicholas Bubbewith, canon of York. Mandate as below. Walter Cook, canon of York, and Walter Medeforde exchanged the treasurership of London and the canonry and prebend of Faryngton in Salisbury, the exchange being carried out by bishops Robert and Richard. Cook doubts whether the collation and provision, under which he obtained possession, hold good, and whether the said canonry and prebend of Salisbury are not still void. The pope therefore orders, motu proprio, the above to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 80 marks. Vite ac morum. (De mandato.) |
—
(f. 91.) |
To Master John Franceys, canon of York, bachelor of canon law, papal writer and member of the pope's household. Address, salutation and four and a half lines of preamble: Grata tue familiaritatis et dexocionis obsequia … que nobis impendere non desistis, necnon litterarum sciencia, vite ac morum honestas … aliaque merita quibus personam tuam juvari percepimus.

To the precentor and Edmund Fiz Adam, canon of Limerick, and James Ograda, official of Killaloe. Mandate to collate and assign to John Chanluayn (sic), priest, of the diocese of Limerick, the still void perpetual vicarage, value not exceeding 3 marks, of Ardkahny, in the said diocese, to which, on its voidance by the death of Thomas Ofieli, he was presented by its patron, Denis Ohachigerna, canon of Limerick, by virtue of which he obtained possession.

2 Kal. Feb.
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 114.) |
To the bishops of London and Tuy, and the abbot of St. Alban's. Mandate to collate and assign the canonry and prebend of Twyforde in London, value not exceeding 20 (sic) marks, to John Hildiardis, clerk, of the diocese of York, whose recent petition contained that on their voidance by the death of John Danby he received collation and provision from bishop Robert, by his ordinary authority, under which he obtained peaceable possession. His petition adds that some doubt whether the said collation and provision hold good, and the canonry and prebend are, as the pope has learned, still void. The collation is to be made notwithstanding that he holds the canonry and prebend of Eldon in Aukeland, the hospitals of St. James, Alberton, and St. Giles by Richemunde, even if they be wont to be held by priests or conferred as titles, and have cure, and a prebend or portion in Darlyngton, in the dioceses of York and Durham, the value of all which does not exceed 100 marks. John, who is in minor orders only, is hereby dispensed not to be obliged, during the next five years, to be promoted to any holy orders by reason of the prebend of Twyforde, in case it be sacerdotal or require holy orders, or of other benefice with cure or requiring priest's or other holy orders. Vite etc. [See f. 1.] |

Mandate, motu proprio, to collate and assign to Nicholas Bubbewyth, canon of Chichester, secretary of king Henry, the still void canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 350 marks, of Chermeynstre and Biere in Salisbury, provision of which, as the pope has recently learned, he obtained, on their voidance by the death of John Boor, under letters of the present pope, by which he, holding canonries of Salisbury and Chichester, was expecting prebends. The pope has learned that some assert that the said provision does not hold good. Upon his obtaining them the said letters of expectation shall be null and void, as far as regards Salisbury only. Vite etc. (De mandato.) |
