De Exhibitis.

To the bishops of St. Andrews and Brechin, and the dean of St. Maurice's without the walls of Münster. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Alexander Culan, clerk, of the diocese of Aberdeen, contained that a cause arose lately between him and Richard Wyly, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Dunde in the diocese of Brechin, M.A., about a canonry of Aberdeen and the prebend of Owyn (or Olbyn, recte Obbyn) therein, which (on their voidance because Andrew Stewart had obtained, by collation made to him by authority of the ordinary, another canonry of the said church and the prebend of Rothwen therein) the said Alexander obtained by collation and provision made by the same authority, which collation and provision the said Richard unjustly opposed, preventing them from taking effect; that Pius II committed the cause, although not lawfully devolved to the apostolic see, to Master Sancius Romerus, then as now a papal chaplain and auditor, who promulgated a definitive sentence by which he adjudged the said canonry and prebend of Owyn [sic] to Richard, and imposed perpetual silence on Alexander, the latter's appeal from which sentence the same pope committed to Master Lewis de Ludovisis, also then as now a papal chaplain and auditor, who by his definitive sentence confirmed the said sentence, Alexander's appeal from which second sentence the said pope committed to Master Bernard Rouira, likewise then as now a papal chaplain and auditor, who is said to have proceeded short of a conclusion. Seeing that this day the said Richard, being collector-general of the papal Camera in Scotland, has given up to the pope the said cause and all right in or to the said canonry and prebend of Owyn [sic], the pope, calling up to himself and extinguishing the suit, hereby orders the above three to collate and assign them, value not exceeding 20l. sterling, to the said Alexander. Vite etc. (F. and Alanus. | F.xxx. Expedita nono Kal. Martii Anno Secundo. Saxinaten.) [4 pp. +.] |

To the official of Glasgow. Mandate to collate and assign to Thomas Pyle, clerk, of the diocese of Glasgow, bachelor of canon law, the parish church de Roulab[b]atis in the said diocese, value not exceeding 5l. sterling, collation and provision of which, on its voidance by the death of Thomas de Bolcoune, was made to him by Andrew, bishop of Glasgow, in virtue of which he obtained and holds possession, but the validity of which collation and provision he now doubts. Dignum arbitramur. (P. and Jo. de Augeroles. | P. xx. Decimo Kal. Septembris Anno Primo. de Varris.) [2¼ pp.] |
| 10 Kal. Sept. (23 Aug.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 113d.) |
To the bishops of Winchester, Salisbury and Lincoln. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Margaret Lucy, damsel, of the diocese of Lincoln, contained that formerly Thomas Dauers (fn. 2), layman, of the said diocese, falsely alleging that she had contracted marriage with him per verba legitime de presenti, brought her before George, bishop of Exeter, then residing in the said diocese [of Lincoln], to whom the bishop of Lincoln had committed the hearing of the cause; and that on account of certain grievances inflicted on her by the said bishop, including public excommunication for her alleged contumacy in not appearing in an unsafe and distant place, to which she dared not go on account of the power of the said Thomas and his friends, she has appealed to the apostolic see. The pope therefore orders the above bishops to summon the said Thomas and others concerned, grant the said Margaret ad cautelam absolution from the said excommunication, hear both sides, taking cognizance also of the principal matter, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure. Humilibus supplicum. (H. and Jo. de Millinis. | H. xvi. Folani.) [2⅓ pp.] |
De Beneficiis Vacantibus.

7 Kal. Sept. (26 Aug.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 167.) |
To Donatus Ohachayn (?), (fn. 4) canon of Tuam. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by John de Burgo, canon of Tuam, that Thomas Joy, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Athnary in the diocese of Tuam, made a simoniacal agreement with Thomas Bemocham [sic], layman, the true and sole patron, that if the latter would present him to the ordinary (the vicarage being void by the death of Thomas Ybreyn), and if he were instituted, he would pay a sum of money to the said patron, which he did; that in accordance with the said agreement the said patron presented him to Donatus, archbishop of Tuam, who, perhaps ignorant of the said agreement, instituted him; and that under pretext of such presentation and institution, he obtained and still detains possession. The pope therefore orders the above canon, if the said John (who is, as he alleges, of a noble race of dukes and barons, and holds a canonry of Tuam and the prebend of Boyllmaclayn [sic] therein, value not exceeding 33 marks sterling, and the rectory of the said parish church, which has cure, and the value of which the pope holds to be expressed by these presents), will accuse the said Thomas before the said canon, to summon Thomas and others concerned, and if he find the foregoing to be true, to declare the said presentation and institution null and void, and remove Thomas, and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage, value not exceeding 15 marks sterling, whether void as above, or by the resignation of Thomas, or in any other way, to John. The pope hereby specially dispenses him to retain therewith for life the said rectory. Dignum etc. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | P. xxv. Nono Kal. Aprilis Anno Tertio.de Varris.) [3½ pp.] |

| 1465. Non. Aug. (5 Aug.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 238.) |
To John Wyley, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Kelton in the diocese of Whiteherne (Candide case). Collation and provision to him, who is a priest and blood-brother (germanus) of Richard Wyley, archdeacon of Brechin, collector-general of the papal Camera in Scotland, of the above perpetual vicarage, value not exceeding 8l. sterling, void, and therefore reserved to the apostolic see, by the death there of Malcolm Kaa. Vite etc. |
| Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Brechin, the dean of St. Maurice's without the walls of Münster, and the official of Dunkeld. Hodie dilecto filio Johanni. (P. and Alanus, P. Godis. | P. xiii. xi. Sextodecimo Kal. Junii Anno Secundo. de Varris.) [2½ pp.] | |

| 1464. 14 Kal. Dec. (18 Nov.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 278d.) |
To Thomas Parker, priest, of the diocese of Lichfield. Dispensation to him, who is chaplain of John Langhstrothyr, orator to the pope of Edward king of England, to receive and retain for life any two benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if dignities etc., or two parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or chantries or hospitals, or such mixed, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases etc.; notwithstanding the pope's late ordinance to the contrary. Vite etc. (P. and Jo. [de] Millinis. | P. l. de Varris.) [1½ pp.] |

To William Egremont (Wilhelmo Egremoundo), bishop of Dromore. Decree, as below. Pope Pius II., with consent of his brethren, the present pope being one of them, made provision to the said William of the said see of Dromore. Seeing, however, that bishop William, who was an Augustinian friar, could not conveniently, on account of the continual wars in those parts, exact the fruits etc. of his episcopal mensa, value not exceeding 50 gold florins of the Camera, and could not maintain his episcopal estate; and seeing that William, archbishop of York, petitioned pope Pius on behalf of the said bishop, alleging that the said pope had granted him licence to exercise pontifical offices in the city and diocese of York, the said pope, at their joint petition, granted, under date 5 Kal. July anno 5 [1463], a dispensation to the said bishop to receive and retain in commendam for life, along with the said see, two secular benefices wont to be held by secular clerks, even if parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or rural deaneries or archpriestships, provided that the cure of souls therein were not neglected. Inasmuch as on account of the death of the said pope his letters were not drawn up, the present pope hereby decrees that these presents shall suffice as proof of the said dispensation.

| 1465. 13 Kal. Aug. (20 July.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 288d.) |
To the bishop of Emly. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Edmund Yhedian, layman, of the diocese of Cashel, contained that a dispute having arisen between John Ohedyan, the said Edmund's brother (fratrem), and the late Remundus Barri, priest, chancellor of Cashel, about the deanery of the same church, and the cause having been introduced before William Onicharrian (?) (fn. 5), to whom John, archbishop of Cashel, had committed it, the said Edmund, understanding that William was favourable to Remundus, and that his brother John could not have justice, went with a number of other laymen to a certain high road where he thought to meet the said Remundus, and having found him there, struck him with a lance (fn. 6), whereupon Remundus broke the lance (fn. 7) and threw Edmund from his horse, and Edmund, wounded and angry, drew his sword, rushed upon Remundus, and so wounded him on his head and his other members that he died on the spot, wherefore Edmund has incurred sentence of excommunication. Seeing that he is very grieved at the foregoing, the pope at his said petition orders the above bishop, inasmuch as for lawful reasons Edmund holds his ordinary suspect in the matter, if the facts be as stated, to absolve Edmund from the said sentence and from the guilt of homicide, enjoining a salutary penance, etc.Solet sedis apostolice clemencia. (H. and Jo. Augeroles. | H.xvi. Folani.) [1 p.] |
| 1464. 16 Kal. Oct. (16 Sept.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 344.) |
To Thomas Waux, dean of Glasgow, M.A. Grant, as below. Pius II. dispensed him to retain together for life the deanery of Glasgow, which he was then holding, and that of Ross, provision of which the said pope had made to him, both of them being major elective dignities, even if they had cure of souls [Cal. Papal Lett., XI, pp. 375, 376]. Subsequently the same pope, under date 4 Id. May anno 2 [1460], dispensed him, who alleged that he was by both parents of noble birth, and was holding the said deaneries, their value not exceeding 70l. sterling, to retain with them any one other benefice, even if a parish church or its perpetual vicarage, or a dignity etc., and even if with cure, or without them any three other benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible with one another, even if two of them were parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or such mixed, namely, for five years if two parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or for life if other incompatible benefices, and to resign all, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, etc. In order that the said dispensation may not remain without effect, by reason of the death of the said pope before his said letters were drawn up, the pope hereby grants that the present letters shall suffice as proof thereof.
