The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and retain them for life, or without them any three other benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if they be dignities etc., or two of them be parish churches etc., and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases.

To the bishop and the dean of Killaloe (Laonien.), and Donatus Ogrady, a canon of the same. Mandate, as below. The pope has learned that the rectories of the parish churches of Aulackay and Druminn, in the diocese of Limerick, of lay patronage, have been void so long that their collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although Thomas Omergyn, clerk, and Thomas Ogallycon, priest, [both] of the said diocese, have detained possession of the said rectory of Anlackay and that of Drumun [sic] for about seven years and between eight and nine years, respectively, without any title. The pope, therefore, at the recent petition of Philip Yronayn, a canon of Limerick, bachelor of decrees, (who has been created a canon by Thomas, bishop of Limerick, by his ordinary authority, and admitted by the chapter), hereby orders the above three to erect the said rectories, which are not more than two miles apart, and the cure of which has been wont to be exercised by perpetual vicars, and the value of which does not exceed 32 marks sterling, into a prebend of Limerick for the lifetime of the said Philip, and to collate and assign it to him, summoning and removing the said two detainers.

To the abbot of St. Mary's, Knockmoy (Collis victorie), in the diocese of Tuam, and David Walsh (Valenci) and William Olachacnayn, canons of Tuam. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Donald Okellyd, (fn. 2) a canon of the monastery of St. Mary, Clontuosgerromane (recte Clontuosgertomane), O.S.A., in the diocese of Clonfert, that Donatus Okellyd, prior of the said monastery of St. Mary, Clontuosgerromane [sic], O.S.A., in the diocese of Clonfert, is so much wanting in regular care and diligence, and so much unmindful of his profession and honour, that [he allows] the canons to live separately and have their own property, and, having been suspended and denounced as such, has celebrated massess and other divine offices, wittingly and in contempt of the Keys. (fn. 3) The pope therefore orders the above three, if Donald (who has made his profession of the said order, and is illegitimate, being the son of a canon professed of the said monastery and in deacon's orders and an unmarried woman, and who from fear of Donatus's power has no hope of obtaining justice in the city or diocese of Clonfert), (fn. 4) will accuse Donatus before them, to summon the latter, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said monastery, which is conventual, non-elective, dependent on no other monastery or regular place, is with cure, and whose value does not exceed 50 marks sterling, to Donald. The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Religionis etc. (At the end: Jo. xxxv. Tertio Kal. Januarii anno quinto. Fortin.) [3¼ pp. See again Reg. Lat. DCCLXII., f. 85r, below, p. 497.]

Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume the usual ‘Anno’ and ‘Libro’ numbers are wanting.
  • 2. spelt ‘Bachkat’ here, and also in the concurrent mandate.
  • 3. Corrected by a slight stroke from ‘Marschel.’
  • 4. The grounds on which the pope's mandate is based are thus not stated.
  • 5. Ill written.
  • 6. usque adeo sit a cura et diligentia regulari alienus et professionis ac honoris sui immemor quod canonicos dicti monasterii contra regularia instituta eorundem ordinis et monasterii seorsum habitare et proprium in particulari habere [permittere], ac ipse ex certis causis ut homine suspensus et pro tali denuntiatus existens missas aliaque divina officia scienter et in contemptum clavium celebrare seu verius prophanare non expavit. The word ‘suspensus’ is cancelled, and ‘et pro tali denuntiatus’ inserted in the margin, but the sense seems to require the retention of ‘suspensus.’
  • 7. cum prefatus Donaldus ut etiam asserit dicit Donati [potentiam] merito perhorrescens, in civitate vel diocesi Clonferten. non sperat consequi justitie complementum.
