1478[–9]. 18 Kal. Feb. (15 Jan.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 247r.) (fn. 2)	To Nicholas Hacket, clerk, of the diocese of Cashel. Reservation to the pope's gift, for collation to him, who is in his twentythird year, and is illegitimate, being the son of a priest (an Augustinian canon) and an unmarried woman, and who has been made a clerk, of the archdeaconry of Ossory, a non-major dignity with cure, value 60 marks sterling, which is to become void by the consecration to be conferred on John, [bishop] elect of Ossory. The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and retain it forthwith (ex nune) and, when he reaches the lawful age, to be promoted to all, even holy orders, and not to be bound for seven years, whilst studying letters at an university, or being in the service of a temporal prince, to be promoted to the order of deacon or priest on account of the said archdeaconry, provided that within two years he be ordained subdeacon, notwithstanding the said defects of age and birth, etc. Vite etc.
	Concurrent mandate to the abbot of Kilcooly (de Arvicampo) in the diocese of Cashel, John Hedian, dean of Cashel, and Thomas Michael, a canon of the same. Hodie cum archidiaconatus. (At the end: N. xv., xiii. Quinto Id. Februarii anno ottauo. Garilliati.) [3½ pp.]
6 Id. Jan. (8 Jan.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 252r.)	To the bishop of Killaloe (Laonien.). Mandate to reserve to the pope's gift, for collation to Richard Stakabol alias Rosterdu(n), clerk, of Limerick, a canonry of Limerick and the prebend of Domnachmor therein, value 8 marks sterling, which are to become void by the pope's promotion this day of Cornelius, [bishop] elect of Kilmacduagh (Duacen.), to that church, and the consecration which is to be conferred on him, and, upon their becoming void, as above, to collate and assign them to the said Richard, even if they be void by the resignation of the said bishop, or by the death of William Yfathy extraR.c., or in any other way. Dignum etc. (At the end: N. xvi. Quinto Id. Februarii anno ottauo. Garilliati.) [2½ pp.]
5 Id. Feb. (9 Feb.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 258r.)	To the archdeacon of Ossory. Mandate to collate and assign to Peter Hediam, clerk, of the diocese of Cashel (who was lately dispensed by authority of the ordinary on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest holding a dignity (fn. 3) and an unmarried woman, to be made a clerk, after which he was made a clerk) the treasurership of Cashel, a non-major non-elective dignity with cure, value 15 marks sterling, void at the apostolic see by the resignation to the pope of James Cantuel, and therefore ipso facto reserved to the pope. The pope hereby dispenses him to be promoted to all, even holy orders, and receive and retain the said treasurership, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Dignum etc. [2²/3 pp. See above, p. 668 and below. p. 672.]
4 Non. March. (4 March.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 267r.)	To the prior of St. John Baptist's by le Naenach in the diocese of Killaloe (Laonien.), and the chancellor and the precentor of Killaloe. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by David de Burgo, clerk, of the diocese of Clonfert, that John de Burgo, a canon of Clonfert, holding a canonry of that church and the prebend of Drotte therein, to which is annexed for his life the rectory of Lochriach in the said diocese, of lay patronage, has been present at warlike acts in which divers men have been mutilated and slain, has committed and been convicted of perjury, and has omitted the canonical hours to which he is bound. At the recent petition of the said David, containing that the fruits etc. of the said canonry and prebend are insufficient for the maintenance of their holder, and praying that (upon the cessation of the said union, in the event of the deprivation of the said John) the said rectory may be united de novo to the said canonry and prebend for David's lifetime only, the pope hereby orders the above three (inasmuch as David has no hope of obtaining justice in the city or diocese of Clonfert) to summon the said John, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him from the said canonry and prebend and rectory, and in that event to unite the said rectory, void by such deprivation, to the said canonry and prebend, value 40 and 6 marks sterling respectively, for the lifetime of the said David (who is in his eighteenth year, and who, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of an unmarried nobleman and a married woman, has been made a clerk by authority of the ordinary), and moreover to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend and the said annex. The pope further dispenses him to be promoted to minor orders, and when of age, to all, even holy orders, and to receive and retain the said canonry and prebend and annex, notwithstanding the said defect of birth, etc. Apostolice sedis prouidentia circumspecta. (At the end: N. xx. Septimo Id. Marcii anno ottauo. Garilliati.) [4 pp.]
