Rehabilitation and indult to Master Richard de Lamore, formerly elected bishop of Winchester, against whom the archbishop of Canterbury, after delaying to confirm the election, and, on the appeal of Richard's convent, cancelling it, brought several processes. Afterwards, on this matter being discussed at the apostolic see, and also the fact of his holding the archdeaconry of Winchester, the subdeanery of Lincoln, and a portion with cure of souls in the church of Denever, in the diocese of Norwich, without dispensation, his failure to keep his oath of residence in Lincoln Cathedral, and his receipt of procurations in money from persons and churches subjected to him, he resigned all right in his election. In reply to his petition, the pope allows him to accept any archiepiscopal or episcopal dignity which may be offered him, but requires him to resign the above portion, and grants him an indult to hold one benefice with cure of souls besides the said archdeaconry and subdeanery, or, on resigning one of these, to hold another. |
Non. July. Orvieto. (f. 131d.) |
Dispensation to Master John called ‘Romanus,’ professor of theology, precentor of Lincoln, already dispensed by John XXI. on account of illegitimacy, so as to be ordained and hold the churches of Walop, in the diocese of Winchester and Boulton, in that of York, together with the chancellorship and prebend of Lincoln that he then had. Thinking that this dispensation would allow it, he resigned the said chancellorship, and accepted the precentorship of Lincoln and the prebend of Nassington, and continued to hold the above churches. The pope
grants him a dispensation for doing this, but restitution is to be made to the collectors of the Holy Land tenth of the fruits received by him from the said churches. |
Id. July. Orvieto. (f. 132.) |

He is to send vouchers to the pope and keep a duplicate for himself. If he does not obey this order Master Geoffrey, clerk of the papal camera, now in England, has orders to compel him. |

Mandate to Master Geoffrey, canon of Cambray, as above. |

To John, archbishop of Dublin, on his petition, stating that for nine years and more the see has been void, and now suffers by his absence when engaged in his duties as collector of the Holy Land tenth; the pope therefore relieves him of this office, which he has discharged with prudence and fidelity.

12 Kal. Aug. Orvieto. (f. 140.) |
Mandate to Geoffrey, clerk of the papal camera to cite Baiamund de Vitia, whom the pope has recalled at the instance of J. cardinal of St. Mary's in Cosmedin, as his stay in England as collector was unfruitful, and he has disobeyed the pope's orders.

On the death of bishop Robert, the chapter, elected canon Hugh de Strivelin, who died at the papal court while prosecuting the business of his election, whose death being announced to the chapter by Masters Peter de Tylloyl and Matthew de Crombech, canons, the chapter commissioned the

Mandate to the abbot of St. Albans, to proceed according to the letters of John XXI. in the cause between Peter de Rodmersham, abbot of the Cluniac house of Faversham, and Robert, bishop of Porto, then archbishop of Canterbury, and Oswald, monk of the same, in that the archbishop removed Peter from the government of the monastery and put Oswald in his place. On Peter's appeal to the pope, John XXI. appointed John de Parma, bishop of Spoleto, then papal subdeacon and chaplain, to hear the cause, who, Oswald being absent through contumacy, ordered the cause to be carried before the pope, and on Peter claiming expenses out of the goods of the monastery there was allowed to him, as long as the cause lasted, for his victuals, and those of one monk and two servants 10s. petits
Tournois a day, 20 a year for clothes, and for salaries of two advocates 40, and of one proctor, 14 pounds of Tours; the late bishop of Winchester and the abbot of St. Albans being ordered to see that this was carried out. On Oswald's appeal to the pope, the abbot and the bishop appointed a term for the appeal to be prosecuted. In the meanwhile, Roland being promoted to Spoleto, pope Nicholas deputed Jordan, cardinal of St. Eustace's, to hear the cause, which order the present pope confirmed. But Oswald did not prosecute his appeal within the given time or for two years after it; the pope therefore issues the above mandate. |
11 Kal. Dec. Orvieto. (f. 155.) |
Mandate to the archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop of Lincoln, and the archdeacon of Dorset, to cite the abbot of Gloucester and Master Robert of Gloucester, clerk, and any other detainer of the rectory of Wyradesbury, in the diocese of Lincoln, to appear before the pope within two months, the abbot by proctor and the others in person, with all documents relating to the case. The petition of Master Edmund de Warefeld, rector of the said church, chaplain of H. cardinal of St. Laurence's in Luciua, states, that though on the voidance of the said church by the death at Anagni of Master Silvester, the pope granted it to the late Henry de Tylton, priest, appointing as executors the bishop of Worcester, Antony called ‘Beck,’ archdeacon of Durham, and John de Kirkebi, canon of Lincoln, Master Robert of Gloucester obtained institution to it from the bishop of Lincoln on presentation of the abbot and convent of Gloucester. And when Master John de Luco, canon of London, to whom the said executors had committed the matter, proceeded to carry out the pope's appointment, Master Robert vexatiously appealed to the pope, ad tuitionem curic Cantuariensis de facto nichilominus provocando, and under this pretext still holds the church. The pope thereupon ordered the said archbishop and the dean of London to warn the said abbot and clerk to give up the church to Henry, or his proctor, in eight days, making satisfaction for fruits received; and if they would not, to cite them to appear before the pope in two months, but as neither appeared, protestation was made in the gate of the papal palace before the ushers of their contumacy, and though the pope appointed Peregrinus de Andirano, canon of Aix, as auditor, the contumacy was repeated, and after a while Henry died at the Roman court, on which the pope gave the church to Edmund, investing him with all the rights that belonged to Master Silvester. |
1284. 13 Kal. Feb. Orvieto. (f. 157.) |
Mandate to the official of Amiens to summon all persons concerned, and make order in the question between the abbot and convent of Fecamp, who hold, as annexed to their monastery, the church of Westamnor and the chapels of Wernunghirst and Essurst, and the archbishop of Canterbury, who, wishing to be informed of the right they have in the said church and chapels, sent for Vigor, a monk of the said
monastery, their proctor then in England, and ordered him to show proof of their right. On the part of the abbot and convent it was argued that they were exempt from all ordinary jurisdiction, but the archbishop refused to hear them, and excommunicated Vigor. As the abbot and convent say they cannot get justice done them in England, by reason of the archbishop's power, the above official is ordered to decide the cause; any constitution or indult as to citations beyond sea or any other notwithstanding. |
Ibid. |
Similar mandate to the same in regard to the archbishop's visitation of the above church and chapels, which are in the diocese of Chichester. |
