To the abbot of St. Michael's, Mayo, in the diocese of Tuam, and Thady Ohanly and Dermit Oscara, canons of Tuam. Mandate, as below. The pope has learned that the archdeaconry of Tuam, a non-major dignity, became and is void because Thomas Joy, priest, when holding it obtained, under pretext of the below-named union, the perpetual vicarage of Anachayd in the diocese of Tuam, of lay patronage, on its voidance by the death of Thomas Ybrayn. The pope has also been informed by William Bremecheam, clerk, of the said diocese, that the said Thomas [Joy] made a simoniacal agreement with Thomas Bremecheam, layman, patron of the said vicarage, promising that if the said layman, would consent to the union, by authority of the ordinary, of the vicarage to the archdeaconry for Joy's lifetime, the latter would pay him a sum of money, after which the said layman, having received the money, consented to the making of the said union, and the archbishop of Tuam, perhaps ignorant of the said agreement and promise, by his ordinary authority made the union for Joy's lifetime. At the said William's recent petition, containing that the fruits etc. of the said archdeaconry are so slight that its holder cannot without help reside at the church of Tuam and live decently therein, and that he could do so if the said vicarage, value not exceeding 16 marks sterling, were united to the said archdeaconry for William's life, the pope hereby orders the above three, if William (who is illegitimate, being the son of a dean in priest's orders, of noble birth, and an unmarried woman, has been made a clerk, and is in his twenty-first year), will accuse the said Thomas [Joy] before them, to summon the said Thomas Joy and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to decree and declare the said archbishop's union null and void, and in that event, and after summoning those concerned, to collate and assign the said archdeaconry, nonelective and without cure, and value not exceeding 12 marks sterling, howsoever void, to the said William, and to unite the said vicarage to the archdeaconry for his lifetime, and as long only as he shall hold the latter, removing the said Thomas [Joy] and any other unlawful detainer. The pope hereby specially dispenses William to receive and retain the archdeaconry, and to be promoted to all holy orders and to the priesthood as soon as he is of lawful age, notwithstanding the said defects, etc. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | [———].)

Ordinance, as below. Pius II, at the petition of the rector and all the parishioners of St. Mary's, Luton, in the diocese of Lincoln (setting forth that they were so far inland (fn. 6) and distant from the sea that on account of the scarcity of fish and other Lenten foods they could not live without great inconvenience in Lent and on other days when the eating of flesh and milk-meats is forbidden, and that in most places in England, on account of such scarcity, the eating of milk-meats was customary), (fn. 7) granted them licence and indult that on abstinence days in their parish (fn. 8) they might (except only those who were bound by oath or vow) eat milk, butter, cheese, and other milk-meats, but not eggs. At the recent petition to the present pope of John, lord of the place of Wenlok and baron, of the said diocese (fn. 9) (containing that he applied all diligence for the expedition of the said letters, and that they were expedited through his zeal and at his expense, and that by reason of his singular devotion to the apostolic see he diligently assists the nuncios of the pope and the Roman church as often as opportune), (fn. 10) the pope hereby ordains, in order that the said John may receive some spiritual remuneration therefor, that all persons of either sex of the said parish who enjoy the benefit of the said indult shall devoutly pray the Most High for the good estate of Christian people and the Holy Roman church and also of the said John, during his lifetime, and after his death shall be bound, in Lent and on other abstinence days, (fn. 11) to say for the welfare of his soul, if clerks, the whole of the psalm ‘Miserere mei deus,’ and if laymen, the Lord's Prayer, to wit, the ‘Pater Noster,’ together with the Angelical Salutation ‘Ave Maria.’ Ad futuram rei memoriam.

At his recent petition, containing that he neither was nor is M.A. nor of noble birth, the pope, in order that the said letters may not be held surreptitious, grants that the said letters and dispensation shall hold good from the date of these presents, notwithstanding the said statement.

and that, in order to end the dispute, the parties have, with the said bishop's licence, made an amicable agreement as follows, viz., that there shall for ever be a perpetual chaplain in the chapel, with cure, of Knyshale, who shall be continually resident, and shall celebrate masses and other divine offices therein, and administer for ever to the said John Harpur and Eleanor his consort and the tenants of the said manor and the inhabitants of the said hamlet of Knyshale, and their heirs, all [sacraments and] sacramentals, except only marriage and burial, (fn. 20) without disturbance by the said abbot and convent, or any other in their name or in the name of the said church of Walshale;

and that the future perpetual chaplain of the said chapel shall have all the tithes, oblations, fruits and profits arising from the said demesne and tenants, etc., except only all the tithes of sheaves within the said demesne and hamlet (fn. 22) wherefore the said John Harpur and Eleanor his consort, and their heirs and assigns, and the lords of Knyshale aforesaid (fn. 23) shall, within three months after the death or resignation of such chaplain, or any other voidance, nominate a fit chaplain to the abbot and convent, who within the month next following shall present him to the bishop, as follows:— Reverendo in Christo patri et domino, domino, domino .N dei gracia Conventren. et Lichefelden.episcopo, vestri humiles et devoti filii abbas et conventus monasterii de Halesowayn ordinis Premonstratensis obedienciam debitam in hac parte.

Datum etc., such chaplain to be instituted by the said bishop, and inducted by the archdeacon; in such wise that if the said profits be not sufficient to find such chaplain, the said John and Eleanor and all the inhabitants of the said demesne and hamlet, and their heirs after them, shall be bound to make up a sufficient amount for him out of their own goods, provided that no prejudice arise thereby to the abbot and convent in the matter of the said tithes of sheaves, and that they be in no wise bound to augment the service of the said chaplain; that the said religious shall repair etc. at their own expense, when necessary, the chancel of the said chapel; and that each party renounces all suits, appeals etc. whereby the said agreement might be hindered, etc. The said bishop William has therefore authorized, approved, ratified and confirmed the said agreement, and has willed that it shall be perpetually observed, etc. In testimony of which he orders his present letters indented to be drawn up in a public form, the one part of the indenture to remain with the abbot and convent and their successors for ever, under the seal of the bishop himself and the seals of the said John Harpur and Eleanor, and the other part to remain with the said John and Eleanor and their heirs, under the seal of the bishop, the common seal of the abbot and convent, and the seal of Richard Worfeld, vicar of Walshale: dated, as regards the sealing of these presents on behalf of the said bishop William, on 28 May, 1438, in the 18th year of his consecration, (fn. 24) and, as regards the sealing of the abbot and convent and of Richard Worfeld, vicar of Walshale, on the last day of May in the year aforesaid.

To the abbot of St. Mary's, Baltinglass (de Valle Salutis), in the diocese of Leighlin, and the precentor and Patrick Obrayn, canon, of Leighlin. Mandate, etc., as below. The recent petition of Dermit Ycurryn, priest, of the diocese of Leighlin, contained that (after he had been dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of unmarried parents, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, had been so promoted, even to the priesthood, and had obtained the rectory of Mulyndmacduyb in the said diocese, by collation made to him by authority of the ordinary, and had held it for six years), on the voidance of the perpetual vicarage of Ymisil in the said diocese by the dissolution (made by Michael, archbishop of Dublin, by his metropolitical right, the see of Leighlin being then void) of its union to the rectory of the same church of Ymisil, the present rector (the presentation to the vicarage belonging by ancient custom to the rector) presented the said Dermit (who had no other dispensation on account of the said defect) to the said archbishop, who gave commission to David Onuallayn [perpetual] vicar of Kellasna, notary public, of the said diocese, to institute him, under pretext of which commission the said David instituted him; and that, in virtue of the said presentation and institution, after having first resigned the said rectory, he obtained possession of the said vicarage of Ymisil, and still detains it, so that, the said presentation and institution being therefore without force, the said vicarage is still void, as above. The pope has, moreover, been informed by the said Dermit that William Ocearbhuyll, priest, of the said diocese, aspiring to the perpetual vicarage of Baland in the said diocese, in the presentation of the prior of St. Mary's, Glasargy, O.S.B., in the diocese of Ferns, and then void by the death of Henry Ycurryn, paid as the result of an agreement a certain sum of money to the said prior in order that he should be presented, thereby committing simony and incurring the sentences of excommunication etc. promulgated therefor, and that the said [arch]bishop, (fn. 25) perhaps in ignorance of the said agreement, by his ordinary authority instituted him, thus presented by the said prior, under pretext of which presentation and institution he obtained possession of the said vicarage of Baland and has unduly detained it for between one and two years without other canonical title. At Dermit's said petition (which added that the fruits etc. of the said vicarage of Ymisil, value not exceeding 4 marks sterling, are so slight that he cannot be honestly maintained therewith, and that if the said vicarage of Baland, value not exceeding 5 marks sterling, were united thereto for his lifetime only, he could be more decently maintained and could serve both vicarages, they being so near that they can be conveniently served by one man), the pope hereby rehabilitates him, etc., and, the said collation and provision to William being, if the foregoing be true, null and void, orders the above three, if Dermit will accuse William before them, to summon William and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to declare the said collation and provision to William null and void, and to remove him from the said vicarage of Baland, and in that event, and moreover, if they find to be true what is added in the said petition, as above, to collate and assign the said vicarage of Ymisil to Dermit, after he has resigned it, and to unite thereto that of Baland for his lifetime only, and as long as he shall hold that of Ymisil. The pope furthermore specially dispenses him to receive and retain the said vicarages for life, and to resign that of Ymisil, simply or for exchange, when he pleases, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Apostolice sedis indefessa clemencia.

Votis illis gratum. (H. and A. de Cortesiis. | H. xxv. Folani.)
