1327. 8 Kal. Mar. Avignon. (f. 44.) |
To the archbishop of Armagh. Mandate to decide the matter between the bishop and chapter of Derry and the heirs of Richard de Burgo, earl of Ulster. As appears by the petition of bishop Michael, his predecessor, Geoffrey, and the chapter had a dispute with Richard touching the right of patronage of certain churches and lands and rights belonging to the bishopric, and the earl relying on the temporal power got the better of the bishop and chapter, who suffered heavily, but verbally agreed that the earl and his heirs should hold the portion and temporal jurisdiction which they had in the city of Derry, and also the advowson in certain places, and divers tenements belonging to the church of Derry, paying a very small yearly pension to the bishop. The said earl has held these for twenty years, to the great injury of the see, and as he is now dead, bishop Michael has petitioned the pope to compel the earl's heirs to make restitution. Witnesses are to be summoned and necessary orders made and enforced. [Theiner, 237.] |
