To the abbot of Lindores (de Lundoris) in the diocese of St. Andrews, and the officials of St. Andrews and Dunkeld. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of George, abbot of Inchaffray (Insula missarum), O.S.A., in the diocese of Dunblane, contained that whereas formerly William Hadington, a canon of the said monastery, molested the said abbot and the convent in regard to the rule and administration, and whereas, in order to buy him off, they promised under oath, and on certain conditions, to pay him a yearly pension, to the great hurt of the said monastery, the said William, falsely alleging that they were lawfully bound to pay him the said pension, brought the said abbot (who is also, as he alleges, a papal chaplain, and therefore exempt from all jurisdiction etc. of any ordinary judges, and immediately subject to the apostolic see) before John de Moffet, clerk, bachelor in decrees, to whom John de Ockerburn, (fn. 2) official of Dunblane, after taking some proceedings, had given full commission to act in his stead. The said petition also contained that it was set forth on behalf of the said abbot to the said John de Moffet, by way of exceptions, that the said pension had not been assigned by papal authority or otherwise canonically, that the said conditions had not been fulfilled, and that he was not bound to observe the said oath, on account of the said great hurt to the monastery; and that he therefore asked to be released from the suit of the said William (who was, moreover, under sentence of the greater excommunication), notwithstanding which the said John de Moffet, tacitly rejecting the said exceptions, de facto compelled the said abbot to pay the said William within a fortnight 10l. of the money of Scotland as a certain proportion of the said pension, under pain of excommunication, wherefore the said abbot appealed to the apostolic see, notwithstanding which the said John de Moffet, in contempt of the said appeal, of which he was not ignorant, and whilst the said abbot was still within the time for prosecuting it, proceeded wrongfully in the said cause, and promulgated a definitive sentence in favour of the said William, and against the said abbot, also de facto, wherefore the latter appealed again to the said see, but has been prevented by a lawful impediment from prosecuting it within the lawful time. At the petition, therefore, of the said abbot, the pope hereby orders the above three (fn. 3) to summon the said William and others concerned, grant the abbot conditional (ad cautelam) absolution from any sentence of excommunication which may have been pronounced against him, relax the said oath, etc., hear both sides, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure. Humilibus supplicum votis. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. | P. xvi. de Varris.) [2 pp.] |
1470[–1]. 18 Kal. Feb. (15 Jan.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 128d.) |
To the dean of Kildare (Daren.), and Charles Oduyn and James Obecayn, canons of the same. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Donatus Oharayn, canon of the monastery of St. Mary, Rellethe (recte Kellethe), O.S.A., in the diocese of Kildare, that Maurice Okhynayn, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Kyllodory in the said diocese, has taken away the immoveable goods of the said vicarage, has converted to depraved (parvos, recte pravos) and illicit uses the money arising therefrom, has openly kept a concubine in his house, and has committed perjury, of which he has been judicially convicted. The pope therefore hereby orders the above three, if the said Donatus (who was lately, when a secular, 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, after which he was so promoted) will accuse the said Maurice before them, to summon Maurice and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove Maurice, and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage, value not exceeding 3 marks sterling, to Donatus, whom the pope hereby specially dispenses to receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect, and notwithstanding the statutes etc. of the said monastery and order, etc. Religionis zelus, vite etc. (P. and M. Amici. | P. xviii. Kal. Februarii Anno Septimo. de Varris.) [2¾ pp.] |

To Robert Stowe alias Taberer, a canon of the monastery of Osney (de Oseneya) by Oxford,’ O.S.A., in the diocese of Lincoln. Dispensation to receive and retain [for life] a[ny] benefice [with cure] wont to be assigned to secular clerks, even if it be a parish church or its perpetual vicarage, or a chantry, free chapel, or hospital, or an annual service, and to resign it, simply or for exchange, when he pleases.Religionis zelus, vite etc. (N. and N. de Castello. | N.xxx. Garilliati.) [1 p.] |

To John Sydbery, a monk of the monastery of Newam, O. Cist., in the diocese of Exeter. Dispensation to receive and retain for life any benefice with cure wont to be governed by secular clerks, even if it be a parish church, etc., as in the preceding, mutatis mutandis. Religionis etc. (N. and F. de Gualbis. | N. xxx. Garilliati.) [1 p.] |

To the abbot of the monastery of St. Mary, Abbeygormacan (Via nova), in the diocese of Clonfert, and the dean and archdeacon of Clonfert Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Donatus Okeallay alias Omaddayn, a canon of the priory of St. Mary, Elnayntuastert (recte Cluayntuascert) Omane, O.S.A., in the diocese of Clonfert, that Thady Okeallay, prior of the said monastery, has killed a certain layman. The pope therefore hereby orders the above three, if Donatus (who has made his profession of the said order, and was lately, with the consent of his superior, promoted by Cornelius, then bishop of Elphin, to all holy orders, notwithstanding his illegitimacy, as the son of unmarried parents) will accuse the said Thady before them, to summon Thady and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove Thady, and in that event to collate and assign the said priory, which is conventual, has cure, and is elective, and whose value does not exceed 50 marks sterling, to Donatus. The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Religionis zelus, vite etc. (N. and M. Amici. | N.xxvi. Quinto Kal. Aprilis Anno Septimo. Garilliati.)

1470[–1]. 16 Kal. March. (16 Feb.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 244.) |
To the precentor of Killaloe (Laonien.). Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Matthew Macrath, a canon of the monastery of Clare (de Forgio alias de Clar), O.S.A., in the diocese of Killaloe, contained that after he, then a secular clerk, had been dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest-abbot and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, Matthew, bishop of Clonfert, who was holding the said monastery in commendam by papal grant and dispensation, resigned the commenda to Matthew, bishop of Killaloe, who admitted it by his ordinary authority, the said monastery thereby becoming void as before the said commenda, whereupon the convent duly elected the said Matthew Macrath, who had made his profession and was in minor orders, and had obtained no other dispensation on account of the said defect, and who, consenting to the said election, had it confirmed by authority of the ordinary. The said election being therefore without force, and the said monastery void as before the said commenda, the pope hereby orders the above precentor, if he find the facts to be as stated, and if he find the said Matthew fit, to make provision to him of the said monastery, value not exceeding 50 marks sterling, and in that event to cause him to be blessed by any catholic bishop in communion with the apostolic see, the pope further dispensing him to be appointed to the said monastery and exercise the rule etc., notwithstanding the said defect etc.; without prejudice to the bishop of Killaloe, to whom the said monastery is by ordinary right subject.
