To G. bishop of Sabina. The king has received his letters brought by
the bearer of the presents on behalf of Master James, nephew of Sir
Francis Neapoleonis, cardinal deacon of St. Lucy in Silice, the king's
special friend, upon the matter of the collation of the church of
Monketon, in the diocese of Canterbury, made to him by pope
Celestine V in the Roman court and of the subsequent confirmation
of the same by pope Boniface, and has carefully considered their
contents. As the king was at the time of the receipt of the letters greatly
occupied about the expedition of his war in Scotland and he had not then
the presence of skilled men, it was necessary for him to defer giving such
an answer, as the nature of the case demanded, until the end of the war
and his return to Berwick-on-Tweed. After taking council of treaty upon
this matter with the prelates and certain others of his councillors and
with the magnates and proceres of his realm there specially assembled,
and after full examination and discussion of the matter, the king was
advised by them and it was clearly proved by many evidences (racionibus)
and examples that this collation if put into effect would redound to the
grievous prejudice and manifest disinheritance of the king and his heirs
and to the very great injury of his royal crown, whose rights he is bound
by oath to maintain harmless in all things. The king, however, wishes
the bishop to know that if the king could find any suitable way whereby he
could tolerate such a collation with equanimity without prejudice to the
royal right that he and his predecessors have always used heretofore and
without injury to his crown and without violation of the oath taken
by him, which the bishop, he believes, would not persuade him to
incur, he would, out of consideration for the bishop and the other
cardinals specially interceding for James, have acceded to the bishop's
desires in this matter. Since what the bishop asks cannot be done for
the reasons aforesaid, the king requests him to hold him excused both for
this matter and for the delay in answering. The king intends at a fitting
time and place to provide Master James with some other suitable benefice,
if it shall then occur to his memory, out of respect for the bishop and
the cardinals. [Cf. writ of privy seal (now in Ancient Correspondence,
Vol. XII, No. 99) in Prynne, Records, iii, p. 631.] |
