The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above two to proceed in the said appeal, and confirm or annul (fn. 6) the said sentence, without appeal. Humilibus etc. [1¼ pp.] |

The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above dean, if the said Donald (who has made his profession, and was lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a deacon professed as a canon of the said order and of noble birth and an unmarried woman, (fn. 8) to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he was made a clerk) will accuse the said Donatus before him, to summon the latter, and if he find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said priory, conventual and value 50 marks sterling, to the said Donald, and induct him, after first receiving from him the usual oath of fealty, according to the form enclosed.

Ibid. (f. 217r.) |
To the archdeacon of Killaloe (Laonien.). Mandate, as below. The above monastery of SS. Peter and Paul the Apostles de Forgio alias de Clar has become void by the pope's promotion of Matthew, bishop of Clonfert, to that church, and by his consecration extra R.c. The pope, therefore, recapitulating the preceding, hereby orders the said archdeacon, after the above Donatus has taken the habit and made his profession, to make provision to him (who was lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of an abbot of the said monastery and an unmarried woman, [both] of noble birth, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and receive and retain for life any mutually compatible benefices of any number and kind, with and without cure, and to resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, in virtue of which he was so promoted; and who holds the above-mentioned vicarage of Kyllufyn, (fn. 9) value 3 marks sterling, and the rectory of Ogormyg, in the same diocese) of the said monastery, value 50 marks sterling, summoning and removing Matthew Macrach, a canon thereof, who has for more than three years intruded himself into the rule etc. thereof, without any title.

To the bishop of Ardfert, the archdeacon of London, and Simon Tawre, a canon of Hereford. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of William, abbot of Enysham, O.S.B., in the diocese of Lincoln, contained that although provision was canonically made to him of the said monastery, and although he has ruled it well for several years, and has never committed anything enormous on account of which he ought to have been disturbed, or excommunicated, or removed, etc., nevertheless Thomas, bishop of Lincoln, has hindered him from the peaceful exercise of the rule and administration, and has often publicly boasted that he will excommunicate him (fn. 10) and remove him from the said monastery, and sequestrate its fruits, wherefore he has appealed to the apostolic see. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three to summon the said bishop and others concerned, hear both sides, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by the said bishop by the pope's authority, and to be observed by others by ecclesiastical censure. Humilibus etc. [1 p. +] |

The pope hereby specially dispenses him to receive the said vicarage of Kylhalaghtan, and retain it for life with that of Kyllaoyn, value 3 marks sterling. Religionis etc. (At the end: A. xxii. Expedita Septimo Kal. Junii anno tertio. de Petra.) [2⅓ pp.] |
