Mandate to collate and assign to Patrick Oluoneym, clerk, of the diocese of Meath, who, notwithstanding his illegitimacy, as the son of unmarried parents, was made a clerk, the perpetual vicarage of the parish church of Lynnella in the said diocese, to which are annexed the sinecure chapels of Rathan, Rathlyfayn, Kyllaghy, Athboy, Dromcollyn and Aglays, in the said diocese, and whose value, with that of the said annexes, does not exceed 18 marks sterling, so long void, because Thady Omaluayd, having obtained it by canonical collation, held it for more than a year, and afterwards for several years, without having himself ordained priest and without dispensation, that by the Lateran statutes its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see; whether it be void as above, or by the death of Fergallus Yluoneym or of Rory Yluoneym, or in any other way.

Mandate to collate and assign to Malachy Ocrunuylle, clerk, of the diocese of Kildare (Daren.), who notwithstanding his illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, has been made a clerk, the rectory of Kylcorbuy alias Cruokayn in the said diocese, of lay patronage and value not exceeding 8 marks sterling, so long void by the death of Alan Ocrunuylle that by the Lateran statutes its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although Emundus Oconollayn, priest, of the said diocese, has for between two and three years, without any collation and provision having been made to him, or other canonical right, unduly detained possession under pretext of papal letters surreptitiously obtained, in which no mention was made of the said lay patronage; removing the said Emundus and any other unlawful detainer. The pope hereby specially dispenses Malachy to receive and retain the said rectory, or without it any other benefice with or without cure, and to resign either, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases, notwithstanding the said defect, etc.Vite etc. (N. and A. de Cortesiis. | N. xx.

To the provosts of Monyboill and Kylmawrys, in the diocese of Glasgow, and John Crethon, canon of Glasgow. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Alan de Cony[n]gham, clerk, of the diocese of York (Eboracen.), that Edward de Cony[n]gham, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Galston in the diocese of Glasgow, wittingly and of malice prepense (scienter dolose et appensate) cut off a layman's ear, and, although publicly proclaimed excommunicate at the instance of the abbot and convent of Kylwynnyng, O.S.B., in the said diocese [of Glasgow], has celebrated masses and other divine offices in contempt of the Keys, thereby incurring irregularity; that, adding evil to evil, as if conscious of the said crime and irregularity, he resigned the said vicarage, which resignation the bishop of Glasgow admitted by his ordinary authority; that the said Alan accepted and had provision made to him of the said vicarage, in virtue of certain letters of the present pope, by which the pope had ordered provision to be made to him (who, notwithstanding his illegitimacy, as the son of a married nobleman and an unmarried woman, had been made a clerk) of one or two benefices wont to be held by secular clerks, even if one had cure, etc., in the common or several gift of the bishop and the dean and chapter etc. of Glasgow and the minister and convent of the Trinitarian house of Failfurd in the diocese of Glasgow, the pope at the same time dispensing him to receive and retain the same; and that Edward, without having obtained any absolution on account of the above, and without having obtained any dispensation on account of the said irregularity, got fresh provision made to him by the same ordinary authority of the said vicarage (which Alan had accepted, and of which he had got provision, as above), and, under pretext of such provision, obtained and still unduly detains possession. Inasmuch as the said information added that Alan doubts whether his said acceptance and provision hold good, the pope hereby orders the above three, if Alan will accuse Edward before them, to summon Edward and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove Edward from the said vicarage, or from all right in or to it, and in that event to collate and assign it, value not exceeding 20l. sterling, to Alan. The pope hereby dispenses him, pro potioris cautele suffragio, to receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Vite etc. (Hug. and Jo. de Millinis. | Hug. xxx.Expedita Quarto Idus Junii Anno Secundo. Folani, decanus Bisuntin. prothonotarius apostolicus etc. (fn. 3) ) [4 pp.] |

To the prior of Ynnis Cronayn in the diocese of Killaloe (Laonien.), and Denis Odeayg and Donatus Macrayth, canons of Killaloe. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Thady Osyda, priest, of the diocese of Killaloe, that John Macbergyoyn, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Kylltheannaynleth in the said diocese, although excommunicated and publicly proclaimed excommunicate for laying violent hands on a priest, has celebrated masses and other divine offices in contempt of the Keys, and taken part therein, thereby incurring irregularity, and that he is moreover a notorious fornicator and dilapidator of the goods on the said vicarage. The pope therefore hereby orders the above three, if Thady (who was lately dispensed by papal authority, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of unmarried parents, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure) will accuse the said John before them, to summon him and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage, value not exceeding 8 marks sterling, to Thady.

To the bishop of Aberdeen, the abbot of Der in the diocese of Aberdeen, and the dean of Aberdeen. Mandate, as below. It was recently set forth to the pope by the dean and chapter of Brechin that Robert Stephani, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Cortoquhy in the diocese of Brechin, falsely alleging that from the portion assigned to him by them from the fruits etc. of the said parish church, which is canonically united to the capitular mensa of Brechin, he could not be maintained and bear the episcopal rights and his other burdens, caused them to be brought before Thomas de Luchirdail and William Cadare, clerks, commissioners of Patrick, bishop [now] of St. Andrews, then of Brechin, and that the said Thomas and William, proceeding wrongfully in the cause, promulgated an unjust definitive sentence in favour of Robert and against the said dean and chapter, from which they have appealed to the apostolic see. The pope, therefore, at the petition of the dean and chapter, orders the above three to summon Robert and others concerned, hear both sides, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure.

To abbot of Der in the diocese of Aberdeen. Mandate, at the recent petition of Thomas Hay, priest, of the diocese of Dunkeld (containing that on the voidance of a canonry of Aberdeen and the prebend of Grudan therein by the resignation of Thomas Vaus to Thomas, bishop of Aberdeen, that bishop made collation and provision thereof by his ordinary authority to the said Thomas Hay, who in virtue thereof obtained and still holds possession, but now doubts whether they hold good), to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 20l. sterling.Dignum arbitramur.

To the dean and the archdeacon of Ardagh (Ardakaden.) and John Omulmochory, canon of Kilmore. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of John Ogoband, canon of Kilmore, contained that Pius II (having been informed by the said John that the late Andrew Osyridean, dean of Kilmore], had perpetrated divers crimes and excesses, then expressed) ordered Maurice Omulmochory, Terence Ocagillig and John Macmaelmartayn, canons of the said church [of Kilmore], if the said John would accuse the said Andrew before them, to summon Andrew and others concerned, and if they found the things reported to be true, or any one of them sufficient for the purpose, to deprive and remove Andrew, and in that event to collate and assign the said deanery, a non-major dignity, to John; that John won a definitive sentence in his favour and against Andrew, by which Andrew was deprived and removed from the deanery and provision thereof made to John; that Andrew, falsely alleging the said sentence to be unjust, appealed to the apostolic see, and obtained letters in the matter of his appeal addressed to Donald Oflaynd and William Ofiragasa, canons of Kilmore, (fn. 4) who, wrongfully proceeding in the cause, pronounced an unjust sentence by which they revoked the sentence of the aforesaid judges; that John appealed from the said later sentence; that he and Andrew came to an amicable agreement; that the said suit and appeal were therefore not prosecuted; that Andrew died, after the lapse of the lawful time for appeal (post lapsum fatalium); that John obtained possession of the deanery, by collation made by authority of the ordinary, as being void by the said death; and that Cormac Osyridean, canon of Kilmore, without making any mention of the foregoing, obtained letters from the present pope by which the pope ordered provision to be made to him of the deanery, as void by the death of Andrew, under pretext of which he is trying to disturb and molest John in his possession. At the petition, therefore, of the said John, who alleges that the said church of Kilmore was lately parochial and of lay patronage, that it was erected by papal authority into a cathedral church, and that a certain layman (who alleges that he is and was, even before and after the said erection was made, the true patron of the said church, and especially of the vicarage of the same, which is canonically annexed to the said deanery) has consented to the said collation made to John, as above, by authority of the ordinary, (fn. 5) the pope hereby orders the above three to summon Cormac and others concerned, hear the cause concerning the surreptitiousness of the said letters granted to Cormac, and decide it, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure. The pope further dispenses John (who alleges that he has been received by authority of the ordinary as a canon of both Kilmore and Achonry (Akaden.); that provision was lately made to him by papal authority of a certain prebend in Kilmore, void by the death at the apostolic see of Magonius Megnybne; and that the said deanery has few or no fruits etc., except those of the said vicarage), to receive and retain for life, together with the said deanery, such canonry and prebend of Kilmore, if he obtain them. Vite etc. (N. and A. de Cortesiis. | N. x. Residuum gratis pro deo. Expedita xiiio Kalendas Aprilis Anno Secundo. de Bonaparte.) [3½ pp. See above, p. 67.] |
| 1466. Non. July. (7 July.) St. Mark's, Rome. (f. 257d.) |
To the archbishop of York, John bishop of Ardfert, residing in the city of London, and the abbot of St. Peter's, Westminster, in the diocese of London. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Edward Ponynges, rector of St. Augustine's by Watling Strete, London, contained that although he obtained the said church by canonical collation, and held it for some time in peace, nevertheless, inasmuch as Thomas Say, clerk, of London, was hindering his peaceable possession, he, the said Edward, appealed directly to the apostolic see, and by way of precaution to the court of Canterbury (fn. 6); that although Edward had caused Thomas to be inhibited by authority of the said court not to attempt anything to his prejudice whilst the said appeal was pending, nevertheless, in contempt of the appeal and inhibition, and upon Thomas's false report to Thomas Winterburne, auditor of the court of causes of Thomas archbishop of Canterbury, that Edward was wrongfully detaining possession of the said church, the said auditor, without citing Edward, by an unjust sentence declared, at Thomas's instance, the induction which had been made of Edward to have been and to be null, wherefore Edward has appealed anew to the said see. The pope, therefore, orders the above three to summon Thomas Say and others concerned, 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.
