June anno 11 [1482]. The said Andrew having this day ceded the said grant to the pope, before the letters thereof were drawn up, and the said chancellorship being therefore still void, as above, and still reserved, the pope hereby makes collation and provision of it, a non-major, non-elective dignity with cure, value 30l. sterling, to the above George, who is a priest.

Subsequently, as was contained in the recent petition of David Guthre, a canon of Aberdeen, M.A., the said provostship having been void from its first erection and institution, Alexander, the present temporal lord of the said place, presented the said David within the lawful time to the present bishop of Brechin, who for a reason unknown refused to institute him, wherefore the said David has appealed to the apostolic see.

Confirmation, as below. The recent petition of James Stewart, nobleman, constable of the palace or castle of Spynie (de Spineto), Moray, contained that formerly David, bishop of Moray, (considering that frequently during voidance of the episcopal see of Moray many temporal lords, on account of the lack of a constable or keeper of the said palace, had invaded and taken it, and detained and occupied it until the entry of the future bishop, and that they and their accomplices had partly destroyed and carried away with them the goods etc. therein belonging to such future bishop, whereby he and the said church had suffered great losses in spirituals and temporals), with consent of the dean and chapter appointed the said James constable and keeper of the said palace for the said bishop David and his successors, and for the said office and for the services to be rendered by him granted and assigned to him and three heirs of his body in fee (fn. 5) all the lands of Latilinuerloche and the mill of the same, with all rights and appurtenances, worth 10l. a year of silver of the lawful money of Scotland, situate in the diocese of Moray and the barony of Birneth (fn. 6) of the bishop of Moray and the sheriffdom (fn. 7) of Elgin, also sufficient food for him and two servitors, and fodder (fn. 8) and oats for three horses, as is said to be more fully contained in certain letters bearing the seals of the said bishop David and chapter.

To Roger de Carutheris, perpetual vicar of Dumfres’ in the diocese of Glasgow. Dispensation, as below. After he had been dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest, of baronial birth, and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, and after he had been so promoted, and had obtained by canonical collation the parish church of Wamfra in the diocese of Glasgow, he was dispensed by the said authority to receive and retain one other benefice compatible with the said church, (fn. 9) and to resign the said benefices, etc., in virtue of which latter dispensation he resigned the said church of Vamfra and obtained by canonical collation the above vicarage of Dumfres’.

To Thomas, bishop of Banados (Penaden.). Indult and confirmation, as below. The pope lately made provision to him of the said church, (fn. 10) which is in partibus infidelium, and by other letters granted that he might exercise pontifical offices in the city and diocese of St. Davids, with consent of the bishop for the time being; and subsequently (inasmuch as he had not the money for the expedition of the said letters, and wished to go to England to get it), granted him, by other letters in the form of a breve, indult not to be bound to be consecrated within a year. His recent petition contained that he went to England to get the said money, and sent it to the Roman court for the said expedition, and waited for the said letters for about two years, but that by somebody's fraud the said money was lost, wherefore the said letters could not be expedited; and that Prosper de Camuleo, then collector of fruits etc. due to the apostolic Camera in England, under pretext of a special faculty which he alleged that he had from the apostolic see, granted to him that he might be consecrated and exercise pontifical offices in the said city and diocese, trusting in which faculty he had himself consecrated and has for about two years from that time (ex tunc) exercised the said offices, with the said consent; and that he has recently had the said letters expedited. The pope, therefore, grants him indult to use the said consecration, and confirms all he has lawfully done in regard to the said exercise. Personam tuam. [12/3 pp.] |
