15 Kal. March.
Avignon.
(f. 33d.) |
To Walter bishop of St. Andrews. Faculty—seeing that all the bishops of Scotland are immediately subject to the Roman church, that appeal from them must therefore be made immediately to the apostolic see; seeing moreover that, as his petition contains, such appeals from them and other ordinaries of the
realm, and from judges delegate and sub-delegate by papal letters in the realm, are frequent, and are attended by delay of justice, so that suitors sometimes implore remedy from the secular power, to the prejudice and loss of ecclesiastical liberty — to hear and decide without appeal causes in any first appeals whatsoever lodged (interponi) at the apostolic see from the said bishops, ordinaries, and judges, and to cause his decision to be observed, invoking, if necessary, the aid of the secular arm. |

Upon the capture by the English of the place of Caslarium in the diocese of Limoges, during the wars in the duchy of Aquitaine, certain armed men of the society of English, of which Amaneus was captain, destroyed during his absence and without his knowledge a certain chapel near the ditch (fassatum) of the said place, which served the enemy as an ambush against the garrison and fortalice (custodie et fortalicis), with the intention of building a similar chapel within the same, which could not afterwards be done and would now be useless, the said place having been destroyed by fire, and remaining still without inhabitants. |
