To the bishops of Florence, Bangor, and St. Asaph. Consolidation and mandate as below, on the recent petition of Griffin Yonge, rector of Llanynys, in the diocese of Bangor, doctor of canon law, which contained that out of the fruits of the church, whose value then and for some time was far more than 100
marks, twenty-four portions called Claswriaiethe were formerly instituted, for the maintenance of twenty-four perpetual portionaries called ‘Abbatathelaswyr,’ one of them, whose portion was commonly called the portion of David the priest, having the cure of souls of the parishioners; that afterwards by reason of pestilence and wars the said fruits were diminished to barely 80 marks, and that therefore in course of time the number of portionaries was reduced by authority of the ordinary to two; and that the state of the church being otherwise changed, Griffin obtained it thus consolidated by authority of the metropolitan. At his petition the church and portions thus successively consolidated are consolidated anew, and mandate is given to the above executors to institute a perpetual vicarage, with a fit portion assigned, to which the rectors shall present, they being freed from the cure of souls, so that any of such rectors may without obtaining dispensation hold together with the said church any benefice or office with cure; or dignity or personatus
with or without. cure. Such vicar shall be subject and obedient to Griffin and his successors as are the perpetual vicars of other parish churches in those parts to those who have the ownership and dominion (proprietatem et dominium) thereof. (De mandato.) |

To William de Wildenholtz, elect of Salmas (Samasten.) Provision to him, a Friar Minor, in priest's orders, of that see, void by reason that the provision made to Thomas [Merke], whom the pope translated from Carlisle to Salmas, does not hold good, because Thomas did not, in accordance with a certain ordinance of the pope, have the apostolic letters of translation made out within the time appointed by the pope.

If the facts be as stated they are to compel him by ecclesiastical censure and other remedies to hand over the said sums, paid by Gerard and the others on his behalf, as is clear from the acquittances of the camera and of the sacred college of cardinals.

Confirmation of the sentence under which Robert Wytton, canon of London, doctor of canon law, obtained possession of his canonry and prebend of Twyford, alias Twyforth, which were so long void after their voidance by the death of John Danby that they lapsed to the see of Canterbury, as metropolitan, and of which he obtained provision by authority of archbishop Thomas as metropolitan. As they were unlawfully possessed by John Hyldiard, alias Hylliard, clerk, of the diocese of York, the archbishop issued a commission to Thomas Stowe, dean of St. Paul's, and John Barnet, official of Canterbury; and the dean, acting alone, gave a definitive sentence in favour of Robert, who was put in possession. Robert now doubts whether the dean observed all due legal solemnities. (De mandato.) |
