14 Kal. July.
(18 June.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 226.)
To the official of Ross [in Scotland]. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Thomas [no surname], priest, of the place of Dyngwel in the diocese of Ross, contained that he was dispensed by papal authority, on account of illegitimacy as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure; that, after having been so promoted, he obtained, canonically collated to him, the perpetual vicarage of the said place; that he was dispensed by the said authority to hold the chapel of St. Laurence in the same place (provision of which was ordered to be made to him by the said authority) and any other benefices, of any number and kind, with and without cure, compatible with one another and with the aforesaid [vicarage and chapel], even if canonries and prebends, dignities etc. and to resign them and the said vicarage and chapel, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased; and that thereafter, on the voidance of a canonry and prebend and the treasurership of Caithness by the resignation of David Stewart to the late John Innes [bishop] elect confirmed of Caithness, the said elect made him collation and provision thereof by his ordinary authority, in virtue of which he obtained and still holds possession, but now doubts whether they hold good. The pope therefore orders the above official to collate and assign to Thomas (whose benefices, held or expected, and their values and his dispensations the pope holds to be sufficiently expressed by these presents) the said canonry and prebend and treasurership, a non-major non-elective dignity with cure, their value not exceeding 15l. sterling; whether they be void as above, or by the resignation of the late Patrick Wardelaw, or in any other way. Dignum etc. (A. and B. de Monte. | A. xxvi. Pridie Non. Februari Anno Quarto. de Feletis.) [3⅓ pp.]

Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern label, in Latm: ‘1448An. ii. Nicolai V.’ A flyleaf has, in three different contemporary hands, ‘R(ecipe) L(eonarde? ) A.’ [de Feletis], ‘Rubricatus est per me, L.’ and ‘Primus mistus de diversis, de prebendis vacantibus, de beneficiis vacantibus, de exhibitis, de regularibus anno secundo domini nostri domini Nicolai pape v’ A like contemporary description (with the spelling ‘mixtus’) occurs, as usual, on the bottom edge of the volume. F. i. has the conclusion only, ‘pape v’, of a contemporary heading, and f. ii. is blank, so that the text comprises ff. 3–289.
