MEMBRANE 9d.
To the bishops of London and Lincoln. The king some time ago presented William de Plesseto, king's clerk, to the church of Eneford, then in the king's gift by reason of the voidance of the archbishopric of Canterbury, but Master Robert de Gloucestre asserted that he had been provided therein by the abbot of Boxley by authority of papal letters, so that a contention arose between them which the pope summoned for his own examination, and after many arguments gave judgment against the said William, the king's right not being brought into judgment, and commanded the above bishops to put the said Master into corporal possession ; and whereas by approved and ancient custom the king ought to present to such churches in voidances of sees and hereby his right would be injured, he has sent a solemn messenger with letters to the Apostolic See reciting his deed and right herein. Therefore he commands the said bishops, whose duty it is to protect his rights, by virtue of their oath of fealty, to attempt nothing about the said church against the said clerk, otherwise the king will proceed against them by their baronies as is fit.
