To the archbishop of Canterbury, and the bishops of London and Chichester. Mandate, on petition of Edmund de Arundellis, to cite Richard, earl of Arundel, Isabella, daughter of Hugh de Dispensariis, and Eleanor, wrongly called Joan de Bellomonte, touching the following matter:— Earl Richard and Isabella married and begot Edmund, but Robert, bishop of Chichester, under pretext of papal letters, surreptitiously obtained, pronounced sentence of divorce between them, thus bastardising Edmund. Richard thereupon married Joan de Bellomonte, daughter of the uncle of Isabella. Papal commission was issued to William, cardinal of St. Stephen's, to cite the said Richard, Isabella, and Joan, Edmund being then eighteen years old, Master Walter de Segrave and Geoffrey de Borgeys being proctors of Richard. After divers acts, it appeared that Joan should be called Eleanor, and that she was not daughter of Isabella's uncle (soror patruelis), but daughter of Isabella's aunt (neptis ex amita). Edmund was by this time twenty years old, and the pope was petitioned to relax the impediment of age touching the taking of an oath, upon which the cardinal was commissioned to proceed in the cause, Edmund being present, and Richard and Isabella by their proctors, Geoffrey de Burgeis and Simon de Sagio. Appeal was made against the citation of Richard, Isabella, and Eleanor, and was heard before Imbert, cardinal of the Twelve Apostles, Edmund and Geoffrey being present, and Bartholomew de Bononia being proctor for Isabella. Cardinal Imbert supported the action of cardinal William, and condemned the appellants in costs. Appeal against this was made by earl Richard and Isabella, upon which the pope issued this mandate, viz. to cite them within twenty-three days, to appear in person or by their proctors at the papal court within sixty days.
