To the archdeacon of Lismore. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Maurice Stak', clerk, of the diocese of Ardfert, contained that he was dispensed by papal authority, on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, and was thereafter made a clerk; that provision was made to him, first by authority of the ordinary, and afterwards by papal authority, of a canonry of Lismore and the prebend of Thelacharthayn therein, on their voidance by the death of John Iffyrnussii, he being at the same time dispensed by papal authority to receive and retain them, notwithstanding the said defect; and that, not in ignorance of a provincial statute of Cashel, which requires those who keep concubines to put them away within a month after its publication by the ordinaries in their respective dioceses, under pain of ipso facto voidance of their benefices, and without putting away a certain woman whom he had openly kept as his concubine, and by whom he had begotten offspring, he continued to hold for several years, as he still does without her, having since put her away, the said canonry and prebend, possession of which he had obtained in virtue of the said later collation and provision, taking the fruits etc. thereof, although in good faith. (fn. 3) At the petition of the said Maurice, who alleges that the said fruits etc. do not exceed 6 marks sterling yearly in value, the pope hereby orders the above archdeacon to absolve him from the said excess, enjoining a salutary penance, etc., and to dispense him to retain the said canonry and prebend. Apostolice sedis indefessa clementia. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | P. xx. de Varris.) [1¾ pp.] |

To Alexander Baiear, priest, of the diocese of St. Andrews. Rehabilitation, etc., as below. His recent petition contained that after he had been dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of unmarried parents, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, and after he had been so promoted and had obtained by canonical collation the parish church de Corrudis (fn. 5) in the diocese of Glasgow, he and Patrick Tayit, clerk, of the diocese of St. Andrews, resigned to Andrew, bishop of Glasgow, for the purpose of exchange, their respective benefices, namely, the said parish church and a perpetual chaplaincy, called an altarage, in the chapel of St. Monanus de Inuery (fn. 5) in the diocese of St. Andrews, which is of lay patronage; and that the said bishop, with consent of Patrick, bishop of St. Andrews, carried out the exchange, making collation and provision of the said church to Patrick, and of the said chaplaincy, with consent of its patrons, to Alexander, who had obtained no other dispensation on account of the said defect; and that under pretext thereof he obtained possession of the said chaplaincy, and has held it for about a year. The pope, therefore, rehabilitates him, but requires him to resign. Sedes apostolica, pia mater. (P. and P. de Godis. P. xvi. de Varris.) [1¼ pp.] |

To Cornelius Oboyain, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Ardmor in the diocese of Lismore. Grant, as below. Pius II ordered provision to be made to him of the said vicarage on its voidance by the death of Walter tunc per obitum quondam Johannis Iffyrnussii olim ipsius ecclesie canonici extra Romanam curiam defuncti vacantibus, provisum, et etiam secum ut illos non obstante predicto defectu recipere et retinere valeret eadem apostolica auctoritate dispensatum fuerat, non ignarus statuti provincialis Cassellensis quo expresse cavetur quod tenentes congubinas [sic], nisi illas infra mensem a die publicationis statuti huiusmodi computandum per ordinarios locorum in suis diocesibus facte absque spe revertendi dimiserint, eorum beneficia ipso facto vacent, dictos canonicatum et prebendam quos vigore posteriorum collacionis et provisionis earundem ex tunc tenuerat et possederat, non dimissa quadam muliere quam in publicam congubinam tenuerat et ex ea prolem procreaverat, post et contra huiusmodi statutum simul cum dicta congubina per plures annos tenuit et possedit, prout dimissa per cum congubina predicta tenet et possidet de presenti, fructus percipiens ex eisdem bona tamen fide. Viot, (fn. 6) the said pope's letters stating that its fruits etc. did not exceed 12 marks sterling in yearly value. Subsequently, as the recent petition of the said Cornelius contained, the executors of the said letters made provision to him, and in virtue thereof he obtained and has since held possession of the said vicarage. His petition adding that it is alleged by some of his enemies that the said fruits etc. are worth more than was thus stated, although not more than 15 marks sterling, wherefore he fears molestation, the pope hereby grants to him (who alleges that he did not then believe that the said fruits exceeded 12 marks sterling, and does not believe so now), that the said letters and their consequences shall hold good from the date of these presents, and that he may retain the said vicarage, as if it had been stated in the said letters that its value did not exceed 15 marks. Vite etc. (F. and Ja. Prats. | F. xiiii. Expedita tertiodecimo Kal. Aprilis Anno Quinto. Sassenat.) [2 pp.] |

To the bishop of Cloyne (Clonen.). Mandate, at the petition of Florence Yhederscoll, layman, and Alyna Barry, mulier, of the dioceses of Ross and Cloyne (containing that they contracted espousals, not in ignorance that they were related in the simple third and the double fourth degrees of affinity, on the understanding that they should obtain dispensation from the apostolic see, and that, before the said dispensation had been obtained, they consummated the said espousals per carnalem copulam), to absolve them from sentence of excommunication incurred, enjoining a salutary penance, etc., for their incest, and thereupon, if he think it expedient, and after temporary separation, to dispense them to contract marriage, and remain therein, decreeing past offspring if any, and future offspring legitimate. Oblate nobis. (Hug. and A. de Cortesiis. Hug. xx. prothon.Bisuntin.) [1⅓ pp.] |
