Cum nos nuper. (An. and G. de Elten. | An. xii. de Adria.)
1443 [–4].
Kal. Feb. St. Peter's, Rome (f. 12.)
To Thomas de Wodeford, a canon of London. Dispensation to him (whom lately, holding a canonry of London with the prebend called Totenhale (fn. 2) and having the tonsure only, the present pope dispensed not to be bound for ten years to be promoted to any other order on account of the said prebend, which some allege to be sacerdotal; who is a continual commensal member of the household of king Henry, is still within the said ten years, and still holds the said canonry and prebend) not to be so bound for life. Vite etc. (An. and Ciprianus. | An. xx. de Adria.)
1443.
3 Kal. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 78d.)
To the bishop of Ossero (Ausaren.) and Cornelius Omachan, a canon, and the official, of Achonry. Mandate as below. The recent petition of Bernard Micdonnchaid, subdeacon, of the diocese of Elphin, contained that—after Martin V's general reservation to himself and his successors of absolution from sentences of excommunication etc. against simoniacs, and after the present pope had ordered provision to be made to him (who alleged that he had been dispensed by authority of the ordinary, as the son of unmarried nobles related in the fourth degree of kindred, to be promoted to minor orders and hold a benefice without cure) of a benefice with or without cure in the gift of the bishops and the deans and chapters etc. of Elphin and Achonry, and had dispensed him, notwithstanding the said defect, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold such benefice with cure etc.—he, in vigour of the said letters, accepted and had provision made to him, and obtained possession, of the rectory of the rural lands of Dachorand and Mota in the diocese of Achonry, then void by the death without the Roman court of Donald Macdonchaid, and that, fearing molestation by lay power, he made by oath a promise, which he afterwards fulfilled, to give to Cornelius Maccellard (rectius Maccellaid), a clerk, of the said diocese of Achonry, a portion, worth 16 marks sterling, to be taken by him once, and to Cormac Macdonchaid, a canon of Achonry, another portion to be taken by him yearly for life, of the tithes of the said rectory, thereby incurring the said sentences etc. The pope therefore orders the above to absolve him therefrom, enjoining penance, and to rehabilitate him, bul wills that before they proceed to execute these presents he shall resign the said rectory. Solet sedis apostolice. (An. and Jo. le Goupil. | An. viii. Residuum pro deo. de Adria.) [2½ pp.]

The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and hold it, and grants that his above other letters and their consequences shall hold good as if they mentioned the said further relationship. After he obtains the said rectory by vigour of these presents the above mandate of provision shall be null as far as regards another benefice [with cure] only. Hodie siquidem pro parte. (An. and G.

To David, bishop of Dromore. Dispensation to him, a Carmelite—whom the pope lately [Cal. Lett.

Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern Latin description: 1443, An. xiii. Eugenius IV. A flyleaf has, in three different contemporary hands. (i) Primus [cf. Reg. Lat. cccxcvii. above) de diuersis formis et plenaria remissione anno xiiio, domini nostri Eugenii pape 4, (ii) R[ecipe] Leonarde (iii) Rubricatus est [Leonardus]; and the usual modern Lib. clxxiii. fol. 312. The above contemporary description occurs also, almost identical, on the bottom edge of the volume, as usual.
  • 2. The text has 'de Totnalli.' The word 'Totnalli' is cancelled and overwritten As., 'Totenhale' being substituted in the margin in the hand of the registrator, Antonius de Adria, with the note: Cassatum et correctum de mandato domini F[rancisci Condulmari, episcopi] Portuen, Vicecancellarii, An. de Adria.
  • 3. Super defectu natalium quem patitur de episcopo et soluta in duplici secundo et primo ac tercio et tercio vicibus sex affinitatis gradibus inuiccm coniunctis genitus.
  • 4. collationi et provisioni sibi de illis factarum huiusmodi pretextu. The next following letter has rightly 'collationum et prorisionum.'
  • 5. Here with the better spelling 'Ariguldakerog.' and the spelling 'Mac magnussa.
  • 6. eius conthorali, a rare variant of the usual eius uxori.
  • 7. domino pro parte ville.
  • 8. The date was Non. Maii. The word 'Quarto' is added in the margin by An.
  • 9. A much more restricted grant than the ordinary 'qui totiens quotiens tibi fucrit oportunum ... etiam si talia fuerint semel duntaxat propter que sedes apostolica merito sit consulenda.' Cf. below, f. 302d.
  • 10. Of this privilege, in virtue of which mass begins at one o'clock, a grant does not seem to have occurred before in the present Calendar. It is enjoyed by the Carmelites, and is a matter of common practice at Naples.
  • 11. The date of this indult was written decimoseptimo Kal, Septembris. 'Septembris' is cancelled and over-written A[ntoniu]s, and 'Aprilis, An.' is written in the margin.
  • 12. in tuum confessorem eligere possis qui confessionibus tuis diligenter auditis, pro hiis, etiam que talia sint propter que sedes apostolica merito foret consulenda semel duntaxat, pro aliis vero per te commissis criminibus excessibus et peccatis, casibus dicte sedi reseruatis exceptis, quotiens oportunum fuerit tibi absolutionem impendere et penitentiam salutarem iniungere ...
  • 13. The word 'fratri' is inserted above the line by An[tonius de Adria].
  • 14. The clause Volumus ... momenti etc. is inserted in the margin by An[tonius de Adria].
  • 15. On ff. 28 and 295 occurs 'Johannes Randulf, vicecomes de Cadomo Baiocensis diocesis.' The vicomte of Caen was presumably an Englishman till its loss in 1450.
