To the bishop, the archdeacon, and the official of Limerick. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Wilianinus (fn. 2) Ogyllahanayn, priest, perpetual vicar of the united parish churches of Santiagvola (?) (fn. 3) and Killinelan (fn. 4) in the diocese of Limerick, contained that although he obtained by canonical collation the said churches, which were united by authority of the ordinary, and the said union of which was confirmed by papal authority, and although he had held them for some time, and was still holding them in peace, Donald Oman and Donatus Machalanam, clerks, falsely suggested to the present pope, without making any mention of the said union and confirmation, that the said churches had become and were then void, and that the said Wlia(n)us (fn. 5) (?) had unduly detained them, wherefore the pope, circumvented by the said suggestions, ordered the abbot of St. Mary's, Monasteranenagh (de Maggio), in the said diocese, and the dean of Ardfert, to summon the said Wlinus and others concerned, and if they found the said churches to be void, to collate and assign that of Sennagvola to the said Donald, and that of Billenolan [sic] to the said Donatus; that the said Donald and Donatus, with the intent of having the said churches collated to them, and of having themselves inducted and the said Whalinus (?) removed therefrom, brought him before Gerald, abbot of the said monastery, and Edmund FytzMorys, dean of Ardfert, who, disregarding the protest of the said Wlianus, proceeded in the cause and promulgated an unjust definitive sentence in favour of the said Donald and Donatus, and against the said Wlialinus, from which the latter has appealed to the apostolic see; and that the said abbot and dean, in contempt of the said appeal, proceeded to execution of the said sentence. At the petition of the said Wlianus for the commission of the said appeal etc. to some upright men in those parts, the pope hereby orders the above three to summon the said Donald and Donatus and other concerned, hear both sides, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure. Humilibus etc. [1½ pp.] |
