Miscellaneous 1473

1473. Sept. 28. Archives, Venice, 2 Library. 1469. Pope Sixtus IV. to Edward IV., King of the English.
Has lately conferred on Stephen, Cardinal Priest, by the title of St. Adrian at Milan, the deanery of the church of Salisbury, and promoted the venerable brother James Gold well, its late dean, to the vacant church of Norwich; the appointment being at the Pope's disposal, as stated more at length in the letters whereby he has conferred it. As the Cardinal is now sending to take possession of the deanery, the Pope exhorts the King to order his officials and subjects to assist the Cardinal with such favour that he may pacifically obtain possession. Although this is only just, it will be most agreeable to the Pope, and will give Cardinal Adrian opportunity for promoting the affairs of the King and the kingdom with his Holiness.
St Peter's, Rome, 28th September 1473, 3rd year.
