5 Id. April. (9 April.) Siena. (f. 309d.)	To the bishops of Brechin and Marsico (Marsicensis) and the prior of St. Andrews. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Thomas Levingston’, bishop [now] in the universal church, [sometime bishop] of Dunkeld, contained that Nicholas V granted to him in commendam for life the previously reserved parish church of Carnismule alias Kyrkyuir (rectius Kyrkynir) in the diocese of Whiteherne, and that in virtue thereof he obtained possession; that Calixtus III, for certain false reasons suggested to him by Patrick Lo[c]kard, priest, of the diocese of Glasgow, annulled the said commenda, ordered pope Nicholas's letters and the petition from which they had emanated to be cancelled from his registers, removed bishop Thomas from his possession of the said church, and made collation and provision thereof to the said Patrick, certain executors being appointed; that a cause having arisen between bishop Thomas and Patrick about the church, and having lawfully devolved to the Roman court, the said pope Calixtus committed it at bishop Thomas's instance to John Didaci de Coca, a chaplain, then of the said pope, now of the present pope, and auditor of causes of the apostolic palace, and that the said auditor took some proceedings; that the present pope, for certain reasons set forth by James king of Scots, and at his petition, called up to himself the said cause etc. and ordered [above, Reg. Vat. CCCCLXX, f. 398d.] the provost of the collegiate church of St. Salvator in the city of St. Andrews and two others [not here named] to summon Patrick and others concerned, and if they found that the said commenda was revoked for false causes, to annul the said letters extorted from pope Calixtus and the said collation and provision and their consequences, and to order and decree the said letters of Calixtus and the petitions from which they had emanated to be cancelled from the said registers, and moreover to restore the commenda and letters of pope Nicholas granted to bishop Thomas, and their consequences, and also bishop Thomas himself, to the state in which they were before the said letters of Calixtus had been extorted, and also to restore bishop Thomas to possession of the said church, and inhibit Patrick from molesting bishop Thomas, etc. The pope has recently learned that John Achilmere, provost of St. Salvator's, proceeding at the instance of bishop Thomas, has found that the said commenda was revoked for false reasons, and that the statements made on behalf of the said king were true, and has promulgated a definitive sentence on behalf of bishop Thomas and against Patrick, by which he has annulled, ordered and decreed, and restored etc., in accordance with the pope's said mandate, and has condemned Patrick in the costs. At the petition of bishop Thomas, who alleges that the said sentence has become a res judicata, the pope hereby orders the above three, after they have found the foregoing proceedings to have been lawful, to confirm the said senten e and its consequences, extinguish the said suit, impose perpetual silence on Patrick in regard to the said church, and execute the said sentence, causing it to be observed by ecclesiastical censure without appeal.
