To pope B[oniface]. The king, regarding the inconveniences or even
irreparable damages threatening the church of York through the long
absence of the dean, is the more confidently induced to make known
to the pope certain of his sentiments concerning this matter, because he
thinks that the pope will provide a remedy to preserve the churches
of every realm from harm. The chapter of the aforesaid church when
it was lately deprived of its dean by the consecration of H[enry] as
archbishop, proceeded to the election of a dean, and unanimously chose
William de Hamelton, the archdeacon of the church, the king's clerk,
who has served the king very faithfully for a long time without intermission; and when the matter of the election was presented to the archbishop,
to whom the confirmation or rejection (infirmatio) pertains, he deferred
admitting and confirming the elect by reason of a papal provision lately
made to Sir F. cardinal deacon of St. Mary in Cosmydin of the next void
parsonage or dignity in that church, wishing to consult the pope upon the
matter of the election. The king desires to make known to the pope the
greatness of the cure and the other various burdens incumbent upon the
deanery, and that he is unable to allow the distribution of alms to cease,
especially that which has to be made continuously by the deans of York
by old ordinance by reason of certain parish churches, whereof the deanery
consists, that were wholly conferred by the king's progenitors, which
[would be] to the prejudice of his royal dignity, and requests the pope to
consider the premises and to provide an opportune remedy as to remitting
the matter of the said election, so that the said church shall not be
exposed to irreparable charges. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 802.] |

William de Bosco came before the king, on Tuesday the feast of

justices. |
