Volume XXIXA.

A collection made by Master Berard of Naples, papal subdeacon and notary, containing letters of Urban IV. Clement IV. Gregory X. Innocent V. Adrian V. John XXI. Nicholas III. Martin IV. Honorius IV. (fn. 1)

Berard is mentioned in two briefs of Urban IV., and appears to have been skilled in the law, as is signified in a marginal note, written by himself, to ep. 196.

ep. 5.
n.d.
To John Mansel, papal chaplain, treasurer of York. The king has written in his praise, and the pope encourages him to go on in his service to the king and realm, not forgetting his duty to the Roman Church.
ep. 6.
n.d.
To Master Albert, papal notary. The pope has received his letters, and orders him to tell the king of the Franks that the realm of Sicily belongs to the apostolic see, and that neither the emperor nor the king of England has a right to it.
ep. 13.
n.d.
To the king of France, requesting him to help the king of England in his struggle against the barons. O[ttobon], cardinal of St. Adrian's, is sent as legate.
ep. 40.
n.d.
To Richard, king of the Romans. He is cited in order that judgment may be given touching the empire, inasmuch as the king of Castile, who had the majority of votes, has petitioned to have his election confirmed. Richard's proctors and envoys, Laurence, bishop, and William, archdeacon of Rochester, and Robert de Baro, have laid his case before the pope.
ep. 143. To the king of Sicily. The pope desires peace between him and the queens of France and England, and purposes to send the bishop of Senlis and the abbot of St. Denis as mediators.
epp. 144, 145. Concurrent letters to the queens of France and England.
ep. 146. Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Senlis and the abbot of St. Denis.
ep. 162.
n.d.
To the queen of England. See Calendar, p. 446.
ep. 199. Bull against Simon and Guy de Montfort, who with consent of the king of Sicily, and by order of the king of England, in company with others, killed Henry de Alemania, eldest son of Richard, king of the Romans, during mass in some parish church of Viterbo. Ecclesiastical sentences are issued against them, and all circumstances, precedent, contingent, and subsequent are detailed, and provision is made in regard to the complete execution of sentences incurred.
ep. 232. To the abbot and convent of Paisley. Indult that their profits shall not be sequestrated by the ordinaries, who, pretending that churches appropriated to the monastery suffer damage, seize the profits of the said churches. Restoration is to be made of the profits so seized.
ep. 238. To the archbishop of Canterbury. By confession of Roger de Cliford, bearer of this letter, it appears that he with nobles and others went to Hereford, and on being prayed by P. the bishop, whom he had seized, to set him free, said he could not do so unless the bishop went to a castle of the said noble, which the bishop did. Roger thereupon took nearly all his goods, and kept him prisoner for almost five months, thereby incurring excommunication, from which, under pretext of a war which he pretended was imminent, he was absolved by the bishop of Bath and Wells. The pope, in the exercise of mercy towards the said noble, who came with the king in aid of the Holy Land, made inquiry and gave him absolution by certain prelates authorised for the purpose, who received his oath to give 300 marks to the cathedral of Hereford, and to endow a chapel therein, in which divine offices should be constantly celebrated, and to provide one or more silver lamps always to burn before the altar of the said cathedral or chapel in memory of the aforesaid matter. Moreover Roger, with head and feet bare, and with only a tunic and girdle, is to go on the second day after the king's coronation at Canterbury, and with a thong round his neck, and a rod in his hand, to go by the public way to the cathedral and confess his crime, receiving discipline with the said rod. He is to do the like at London and thrice at Hereford, receiving the discipline from the bishop and canons. The archbishop is ordered to see that this enjoined penance is carried out, and if the said noble does not present these letters within a month of his arrival in England, he will incur excommunication, and if he does not present them within three months, the first sentence is to be renewed.
