To Gregory (inserted in margin), bishop of Kilmacduagh (Duacen.). Provision anew of that see, void by the death of bishop Nicholas, during whose lifetime it was reserved to the pope. Upon the pope's learning, on 3 Id. Oct. anno 4, of the death of Nicholas, he made provision of the see to Gregory, who was then dean and in priest's orders. Before the papal letters of provision were made out, and without the pope's mandate, Gregory had himself consecrated and assumed the administration of the episcopal mensa, afterwards causing all the above to be set forth to the pope in consistory. As the provision, by reason of his neglect to have the letters expedited and lodged in the chancery within a year, is void, he is now absolved from the sentence of excommunication incurred, is rehabilitated, and receives fresh provision as above. |

To Peter, bishop of Nantes. Appointment anew, during the pope's pleasure and after the example of Urban VI, as administrator of the see of Coutances in the islands of Jersey and Guernsey (Gerseyo et Greneseyo) only, with the disposal of the goods of the episcopal mensa therein of the see. Lately Urban VI. with the counsel of the cardinals, to whose number the present pope then belonged, made provision to Peter, on its voidance, of the see of Nantes. Afterwards learning that Peter could not obtain administration of the episcopal mensa because those who held the temporal dominion in those parts were adherents of the antipope called Clement VII, Urban VI. seeing that — although the church of Coutances, in the province of Rouen, was also in such [schismatic] parts and was detained by a certain schismatic — the clergy and people of the said islands were, as they still are, obedient to him and the Roman church, appointed Peter, a master of theology, administrator during his pleasure of the church of Coutances in the said islands only, which appointment expired with that pope's death. |
