Regesta, Vol. CXXXVIII.

3 Clement VI.

14 Kal. June.
Avignon.
(f. 1d.)
To king Edward. Informing him, so that truth may not be obscured by falsehood, that Richard, earl of Arundel, has written nothing, which the pope remembers, either for or against the archbishop of Canterbury.
Ibid.
(f. 2.)
To Henry, earl of Derby, William, earl of Northampton, and William, earl of Huntingdon. The like.
Ibid. To Richard, earl of Arundel. Commending his devotion and informing him of the above letters.
10 Kal. June.
Avignon.
(f. 5.)
To Philip, king of France. Praying him for a safe-conduct for John de Norwico, knight, returning from the Roman court to king Edward.
Ibid. To William Flote, lord of Revel, king Philip's chancellor. The like.
Ibid.
(f. 6d.)
To Henry, earl of Derby. The pope has heard, with displeasure, of the hindrance his people have met with in their journey, which must be displeasing also to king Philip. The pope desires him to come to confer with him touching the pacification of dangerous dissensions. A safe-conduct will be provided for him.
12 Kal. July.
Avignon.
(f. 19d.)
To the prior of the Hospitallers in England. Recommending William de Northwode, knight Hospitaller, for promotion.

5 Id. July.
Avignon.
(f. 40.)
To king Edward. The pope has received his letters by Andrew de Offord, touching the reservation and provision made to William, papal nuncio, of the see of Norwich, contrary to an ordinance of Parliament, and praying the pope to cease from making provisions and reservations of bishoprics. The pope has already written to the king touching novelties attempted against God and the Holy Roman church, and, as the universal pastor of all churches, he does not intend to make such provisions and reservations unless he believes them to be expedient for the churches themselves. As to the opposition to and petitions against reservations and provision made by the pope's predecessors of many bishoprics and benefices in the realm, the king must be well aware that his councillors, by making ordinances against the liberties of the church, incurred divine and canonical penalties. The pope and the cardinals have lately heard that edicts have been sent to divers parts of the realm in derogation of ecclesiastical liberty, to say nothing of the seizure and imprisonment of many ecclesiastics, and the stoppage of papal letters and grants, so that hardly anyone dares present them in the realm. The pope now repeats exhortations already made to the king, and calls on him to hear the counsel of his father, and to honour the Roman church, his mother, from whom he and his ancestors have received many benefits; reminding him of the Lord's declaration and the power of binding and loosing given to Peter. The pope exhorts and entreats him, by the mercy of God, to act as a catholic prince, and to permit nothing to be done in his realm against the Roman church and ecclesiastical liberty, which the pope will defend, as having to give account in the last judgment.
Non. July.

To Henry, earl of Derby. The pope has gladly received his letters sent by John de Rippis, Carmelite, his confessor and envoy, and papal chaplain, who has informed the pope of his diligence in inducing king Edward to make peace with Philip. He is still very desirous of such a peace, and of a crusade. But as the said envoy was charged to open the matter in secret to John de Offord, dean of Lincoln, to whom he gave the king's as well as the earl's letters, the pope called to his presence both the dean and the chaplain, and having conferred with them, it was agreed that before the pope came to the place written of by the earl, the king of England should state to the earl what lands and sums of money are to be given to him, or should intimate the same by a special envoy, or secret letters, which the pope will receive as under the seal of confession, and will labour to bring the king of France to agree to fitting and tolerable terms. The pope exhorts the earl to add to his merits by using all diligence in bringing the business to the desired end.
Ibid.
(f. 100.)
To the same. Among the matters touched on by them when speaking together at a time when the earl was at the apostolic see, that of the revocation of novelties attempted in England against ecclesiastical liberty was mentioned. As no further communication has been made by the earl in this matter, the pope desires him, as he told him by word of mouth, to use his influence touching the same, and to write to the pope an account of what has been done.
Ibid. To John, archbishop of Canterbury. Exhorting him to follow the example of his predecessor, St. Thomas, in defending the liberties of the church, and to procure the revocation of novelties attempted against them.
Ibid.
(f. 100d.)
To the same. The pope has received his letters by John de Rippis, and commends him for his labours touching the reformation of peace, about which the pope has conferred with the said envoy, and with John de Offord, to whom the king's, and his, and the earl of Derby's letters have been presented. The archbishop's envoy will bring a verbal report of what was then agreed upon, and the inexpediency of the pope's coming to the place suggested by the earl until he hears more of the intention of the parties, between whom the pope urges him to continue his labours for peace

7 Id. Feb.
Avignon.
(f. 196.)
To Philip, king of France.

The pope therefore prays king Philip to comply with the request conveyed to him in letters sent by Guy, bishop of Autun, and to have his envoys ready to meet those of king Edward.
Ibid. To the said bishop. The pope is surprised that he has received no letter from him since his departure on his mission.

Wherefore the pope orders him to obtain an answer from king Philip, to whom he is writing.

Sending a copy of the letters brought by Michael de Northburgh, D.C.L. canon of Lichfield, and Nigel de Loring, knight, king Edward's envoys, touching the delay of the mission of the earl of Derby and Bartholomew de Burghassch. The said envoys, in the presence of William, bishop of Norwich, and John de Offorde, dean of Lincoln, also envoys of the said king, explained that the delay was caused by breaches of the truces, especially in Brittany, and by reason that Charles, duke of Brittany, was making warlike preparations by sea. Also before the aforesaid letters were presented one of the king's envoys prayed for licence to depart, and both he and another of his colleagues, and many English at the papal court, are getting ready to leave it, so that the hope of a treaty of peace cannot at present be entertained. Wherefore let king Philip provide, so as to be prepared. A certain one, to whom many secret matters used to be written from England, and who used to tell them to the pope, has shown him a letter, just arrived, of which a copy has been given to Frenchmen at the papal court, to whom and to others the pope has unfolded by word of mouth many things touching this matter, ordering them to give the said copy to the king, and to convey to him what the pope has said.

Avignon.
(f. 238d.)
To king Edward. The pope has received his letters by his envoys, Michael de Northburg and Nigel de Loring, with his excuses for not sending the earl of Derby and Bartholomew de Burghassch, and has heard the explanations given by the said envoys in the presence of the bishop of Norwich and John de Offord, but he finds them unsatisfactory. He has offered to spare no labour to make peace with king Philip if the said earl and Bartholomew come with instructions. He therefore prays the king to prolong the truce for a year from Michaelmas next, adding that letters touching the breaches of the truce have been sent by Guy, bishop of Autun, to king Philip, who assures the pope that he has done his best to observe the truce, and will send envoys to meet those of king Edward.
