(f. 122r.)
To William Russell, bachelor in decrees. Validation, from the date thereof, of the collation and provision of a canonry of London, and the prebend of Mohara therein, value 12l. sterling, which, on their becoming void at the apostolic see, and therefore reserved, by the death there of Thomas Peurueur, Paul II made to him, a priest, on 3 Non. Oct. anno 6 [5 Oct. 1469]; the said pope having died before his letters were drawn up. Rationi congruit.
Concurrent mandate to the chancellor of Wells, and Richard Lichfelde and Thomas Couton, canons of the same. Dudum felicis recordationis Paulus. [3¾ pp.]
5 Kal. Oct.
(27 Sept.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 178d.).
To Maurus Okynnaclud, dean of Annaghdown (Enach[d]unen.). Grant, as below. After he had been dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, Paul II ordered provision to be made to him of the deanery of Annaghdown, a major non-elective dignity with cure, value 7 marks sterling, void in a certain way (not here expressed) and reserved, ordered the perpetual vicarage of Magkulin, in the diocese of Annagdown, to be united to the deanery, for the lifetime of Maurus, and dispensed him to hold both benefices. At his recent petition, containing that although he has obtained possession of the said benefices, it is alleged that the deanery became void in a different way, the pope grants that the said provision etc. shall hold good from the date of these presents, in whatsoever way the deanery became void, and makes him provision anew thereof. Vite ac morum. [2 pp.+]

Feynus and Taurinus, Fouor, O.S.B., in the diocese of Meath, who were to be summoned and removed, had long detained it without a title) to Cormac Osyridean, clerk, of the said [sic] diocese, the said pope having died, as above, f. 122r.; with mandate executory to the above-named three. Rationi etc. [3 pp.]
3 Non. Oct.
(5 Oct.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 204d.)
To Arthur Mackahul, Cornelius Okerualan, and Patrick Okyenan, canons of Derry (Deren.). Mandate to collate and assign to Niallanus Maccuharka, priest, of the diocese of Derry (lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest etc., as above, f. 178d., after which he obtained the rectory of the parish church of Repbhad, in the said diocese, which he is holding) the rectory of the parish church of Bodunig in the same diocese, without cure and value 4 marks sterling, so long void that its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see; summoning and removing the prior and convent of St. Mary's, Dungeuin, O.S.A., in the same diocese, who have for some time detained it without a title. He is hereby dispensed to receive the said rectory of Bodunig, and to hold with it two other benefices compatible with one another and with the said vicarage [sic], and to resign or exchange all three. Vite etc. [2¼ pp.]
7 Id. Oct.
(9 Oct.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 281d.)
To the archdeacon of Tuam, and David de Burgo and John Oculena, canons of the same. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Odo Ohaluaran, clerk, of the diocese of Tuam, that William Yarchi, perpetual vicar of Homy, in the said diocese, is guilty of dilapidation; and has also learned that the perpetual vicarage of Rosslan, (fn. 2) in the same diocese, is void, because John Yhallacan held it for more than a year without being ordained priest, and has been so long void that its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although Eugenius Offlaferti, under pretext of a collation made by the ordinary after the said lapse, has kept possession for between four and ten years. At the petition of the said Odo, containing that the fruits etc. of the said vicarage of Homy are too slight to maintain a vicar, and that the value of each of the said vicarages does not exceed 4 marks sterling, the pope orders the above three, if Odo, (who was lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a beneficed clerk and an unmarried woman etc., as above, f. 178d., after which he was made a clerk) will accuse William, to summon William, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, unite the vicarage of Rosslan to that of Homy for Odo's lifetime, and collate and assign to him both vicarages. Ad ea per que. [6½ pp.]
16 Kal. Dec.
(16 Nov.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 317r.)
To the archdeacon and the provost of Killala (Aladen.), and Thomas Obruchayn, canon, of the same. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Maurice Macgillauaneach, priest, of the diocese of Killala, that on the voidance of the perpetual vicarage of Scrimhamanayn, in the said diocese, by the resignation of Donatus Yluakyg to Bernard, bishop of Killala, provision thereof was made by authority of the ordinary to Thady (Thyus) Macgillauaneach, who obtained possession; that Patrick Offlangale obtained papal letters for the deprivation of Thady on the ground of certain pretended excesses, (fn. 3) and won a definitive sentence; and that Thady and Patrick divided the fruits equally between themselves, thereby committing simony. Maurice alleging that Patrick has kept possession of the vicarage for between two and three years, the pope orders the above three, if Maurice will accuse Patrick, to summon the latter, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and collate and assign the vicarage, value 8 marks sterling, to Maurice. Vite etc. [5 pp.]
