De Exhibitis.



3 Non. Oct. .St. Peter's Rome. (f. 25.)	To Master Paul de Dugmano, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate to surrogate etc. as below, Walter Cook, clerk, of the diocese of Lichfield, B.C.L., whose recent petition contained that a cause arose lately between John Leuesham, priest, of the diocese of York, and the late Richard Carleton, about the church of Brompton in Pykering Lith, papal provision of which, on its voidance by the death of Richard Thoern, was made to Carleton, which provision Leuesbam opposed, taking the fruits; and that the cause was committed by the present pope to the above Master Paul, at Carleton's instance. As the petition adds, while the cause was pending, Carleton died [as related above, Reg. xxvii. f. 18d]. The auditor is ordered to surrogate Cook in respect of Carleton's right. The value of the said church, etc. [as above, Reg. xxix. f. 83d]. Notwithstanding, etc. [as above, Reg. xxvii. f. 18d].
1392. 3 Kal. Jan. Perugia. (f. 29.)	To Master James Floriani, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate to collate and assign, as below. The recent petition of Walter Cock (Cook), clerk, of the diocese of Lichfield, B.C.L. contained that a cause arose lately between him and Roger Holm, canon of London, about the chancellorship of London, papal provision of which was made to Walter on its voidance by reason that Roger obtained it by authority of the ordinary, being a dignity with cure, not major below the pontifical, and held it, without a dispensation, along with his parish church of Warmuth, in the diocese of Durham, contrary to John XXII.'s constitution Execrabilis, which provision Roger opposed. The cause, although not lawfully devolving by its nature to the Roman court, was committed by the present pope to Master James. As, the petition adds, it is asserted that neither of them has any right, the pope orders the auditor, if he find this to be the case, to collate and assign the chancellorship, whose value is 100 marks, to Walter, whether it be void as above, or by the deprivation of Roger, or if he be not yet deprived in the Roman court, in the event of his being so deprived under the processes begun against him in that court at the instance of Adam, cardinal priest of St. Cecilia's [see f. 298]; notwithstanding that Walter has lately had provision from the present pope of the canonries and prebends of Kydyngton Major in London, Sydlesham in Chichester, and Morton Wadon in Hereford, the parish church of Maydiston, in the diocese of Canterbury, about which he is litigating in the apostolic palace, of none of which he has yet got possession; of canonries of London and Lincoln and Wells, with expectation of prebends, and of a dignity, personatus, or office, with or without cure, of Wells; and of a benefice without cure in the common or several gift of the archbishop, etc. of Canterbury, the value of all which is 600 marks. Upon obtaining the chancellorship he is to resign, if meanwhile he get it, the said parish church [of Maydiston].
1393. 14 Kal. Sept. Assisi. (f. 54d.)	To the bishop of Kilmore (Triburnen.). Mandate to collate and assign to Tiernacus Macuegheanarch, priest, of the diocese of Clogher, if found fit after the usual examination in Latin, the parish church alias comorbanship (Comurbania), of Clomeoys, in that diocese, value 10 marks, provision of which he obtained from the bishop, by his ordinary authority, on its voidance by the resignation, made to the bishop, of John Macuegheanarch, and now doubts whether, for certain causes, the provision holds good.
3 Non. Oct. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 73.)	To Bertrand, bishop of Gubbio, dwelling in the Roman court. Mandate to surrogate, etc., as below. The recent petition of Walter Cook, clerk, of the diocese of Lincoln, B.C.L. contained that a cause arose lately between William Dynghere, clerk, of the diocese of Exeter, and the late Richard Carleton, priest, about the canonry and prebend of Holborn in London, papal provision of which, on their voidance by the death of Thomas Brychtewell, was made to Carleton, which provision Dynghere opposed, taking the fruits, and that the cause was committed by the present pope to the said bishop at Carleton's instance. As the petition adds, while the cause was pending Carleton died [as above, Reg. xxvii. f. 18d]. The bishop is ordered to surrogate Cook in respect of Carleton's right. The value of the said canonry and prebend, as well as of the church of Brompton, provision of which the pope has made to Cook, is 120 marks. Notwithstanding, etc. [as above, ibid.]. On obtaining the canonry and prebend of Holborn, the provision of a canonry of London, with expectation of a prebend and dignity, personatus, or office, as far as regards a canonry and prebend only, and that of the canonry and prebend of Kydyngton, are to be null and void.
4 Kal. Oct. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 85.)	To the archbishop of Canterbury. Mandate to grant licence for the foundation of a monastery of the order of St. Clare, as below. It having been set forth to Urban VI. on the part of William Cary, donsel, of the diocese of Exeter, that he proposed, having obtained licence from king Richard, to erect the parish church of the Blessed Virgin and All Saints, Clovely, of which he is patron, and whose value was 50 marks, into a collegiate and regular church of the order of St. Augustine, and therein to found and endow a college of seven regular priests of the said order, who should wear cassocks (vestes talares) like secular priests, with a small cross of red and white on (circa) the breast on the outer garment (in superiori veste), and of whom one should be warden, and exercise the cure of souls of the parishioners, Urban VI. granted faculty to the then archbishop of Canterbury, his name not being expressed, to proceed thereto, instituting members of the said order, or receiving the profession of priests willing to enter it. William's recent petition to the present pope contained that he cannot find priests willing to join the order, and now proposes to found and build a monastery for an abbess and twenty-four nuns of St. Clare, to which order he has a special devotion, with a church or oratory, cemetery, bell tower, bell, dwellings, and other necessary offices, and to endow it out of his own goods and the fruits of the said church. The archbishop is ordered to grant him licence to carry out this foundation, a portion of the said fruits being reserved for a secular priest, who on the resignation or death of the present rector shall have cure of the parishioners’ souls.
17 Kal. July. Perugia. (f. 184d.)	To the bishop of Salisbury. Mandate to absolve and to grant dispensation on account of irregularity, as below, to William Sleford, dean, and the chapter of St. Stephen's chapel in the royal palace of Westminster, whose recent petition contained that a cause arose between them and the abbot and abbot and convent of Westminster, the latter asserting that the said chapel lay within the bounds of the parish of St. Margaret's church, [which is] within the cemetery of the said monastery; that the said church of St. Margaret, with all chapels within the parish, is appropriated to the abbot and convent; that the said chapel, which is collegiate, belongs to them; that they receive the parochial tithes and oblations which the said parish church has been wont to receive from its subject chapels, as also the funeral and all other parochial rights arising in the said chapel; and that they exercise jurisdiction alike in the said parish and in the said chapel; all which dean William and the chapter denied. The cause was committed by Gregory XI. at the instance of the abbot and convent to the late Nicholas, archbishop of Naples, then papal chaplain and auditor, who, upon the contumacy of the dean and chapter, promulgated sentence of excommunication against the dean and each of the chapter, of suspension against the chapter, and of interdict upon the chapel. After the cause had long been heard by divers auditors, the abbot and convent obtained a definitive sentence, letters executory being issued to Augustine, bishop of Perugia, then bishop of Penna, the dean of Arches, and the archdeacon of Oxford (Osonien) in the church of Lincoln, the former of whom promulgated the sentences. As the dean and chapter remained contumacious, Peter Counnbe, monk of Westminster, as the bishop's sub-executor, published the sentences, but they, not in contempt of the keys, but in ignorance of the law, have continued to celebrate divine offices. They are now ready to submit, and to make satisfaction to the abbot and convent.

De Diversis Formis.



Non. July. Perugia. (f. 201.)	To the archbishop of Canterbury. Mandate to restore Clement, Premonstratensian abbot of St. Radegund's, in the diocese of Canterbury, who obtained it on its cession, made by the late canon Richard, then abbot, to George, abbot of Barlyngge, and John, abbot of Wellebeke, and who was afterwards forced to resign it to the said abbot John, who has intruded John Strete, a canon thereof. (Pro Deo.)
15 Kal. Sept. Assisi. (f. 203d.)	Perpetual appropriation, motu proprio, to the episcopal mensa of Salisbury—the spiritualities thereof being too slender, and its temporalities being from various causes at present in the hands of the king—of the canonry and prebend of Chesmister, alias Chermister, and Bere. Upon these presents taking effect the canonry and prebend of Potern, which is united to the said mensa, and the name thereof, are to be suppressed and extinct, their fruits remaining perpetually to the mensa. (De mandato.)
5 Kal. Aug. Perugia. (f. 205.)	To the bishop of Lincoln. Mandate to summon the Premonstratensian abbot and convent of Croxton in the same diocese, and, if the facts be as stated, to cause them to make a fit provision for life out of the goods of the monastery, lest he be obliged to beg, to Thomas Abbot, of Wymundham, priest, of his diocese, who was presented by them for ordination, and who afterwards, by no fault of his own, had his right hand amputated by another priest. (Pro Deo.)
4 Id. May. Perugia. (f. 210d.)	Relaxation, during ten years, of three years and three quadragene of enjoined penance to penitents who on the principal feasts of the year and that of the dedication, the octaves of certain of them, and the six days of Whitsun week; and of a hundred days to those who during the said octaves and six days, visit and give alms for the repair of St. Helen's chapel, Langham, in Roteland, in the diocese of Lincoln.
1393. Kal. Sept. Assisi. (f. 220.)	Declaration that Walter, bishop of Durham, and Thomas Weston, rector of Langneuton, in his diocese, were unaware of the falsity of certain letters fabricated under the pope's name and bull, a duplicate of which Thomas, believing at the time that they were true and valid, sent to the bishop, whose envoy he was to the pope, and the original of which he afterwards, upon finding them false, presented in person to the pope. The said letters, which the pope has by other letters declared false, and of which exemplification is here given, are addressed to Walter, bishop of Durham, begin ‘Romani pontificis providentia,’ and are dated at Perugia, 5 Kal. Aug. anno quarto. The pope therein exempts Walter, whilst bishop of Durham, and his officials, etc. from the jurisdiction and power, metropolitan and legatine, of the archbishop of York, now and for the time being, and takes them under his protection and that of the apostolic see, so that the archbishop cannot suspend, excommunicate, depose, or fine the bishop and his said officials, etc. interdict their places or sequestrate their fruits, make processes or fulminate any sentences against them, all such being decreed null beforehand. (De mandato.)
8 Id. Oct. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 223d.)	To Walter, Augustinian prior of Launde, in the diocese of Lincoln. Faculty to grant dispensation to six persons of his choice, of illegitimate birth, to be named to James Dardani, canon of Salerno, papal chaplain, or other collector to the camera in England, to be ordained and hold one benefice only, even with cure, and to exchange it once only for a similar or dissimilar benefice.
Ibid. (f. 224.)	To the same. Faculty to grant dispensation to four persons of his choice, to be named as above, who have attained their twentieth year, to hold a benefice with cure, even if a dignity, personatus, or office with cure, or a parish church, and to exchange it as often as they please for a similar or dissimilar benefice.
Ibid. (f. 224d.)	Relaxation of seven years and seven quadragene and of a hundred days to penitents who visit as above [f. 210d.] and give alms for the repair of the church of St. John Baptist, of the monastery of Launde. If similar indulgence, not yet expired, have been granted by the present pope, perpetually or for a time not yet elapsed, with the exception of that lately granted, namely for four years and four quadragene, the present letters shall be null and void.
Ibid. (f. 227.)	To William, rector, called master of the college of perpetual chaplains and beneficed clerks of Holy Trinity in the church of Arundel, in the diocese of Chichester. Dispensation to hold together with the said college, founded by Richard, earl of Arundel, in which residence is required, a benefice with cure on which he shall meanwhile not be bound to reside.
3 Non. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 229d.)	To the bishop of Lincoln. Mandate to grant dispensation to remain in the marriage contracted by them, declaring past and future offspring legitimate, to Roger Beuerege and Juliana daughter of Reginald Gelleton, both of Seyton, who married in ignorance that Gerborgia, Roger's former wife, was related to Juliana in the third degree of kindred.
3 Non. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 233.)	Declaration of the non-reservation to the apostolic see of the archdeaconry of Meath. The pope recapitulates the mandate issued by Gregory [XI.] to the bishop of Meath, in which the bishop's name was not expressed, in the long standing cause between Hugh, then cardinal deacon of St. Mary's in Porticu, and the late Matthew Cromp about the said archdeaconry [Reg. cclxxxiv. f. 127d.] The bishop proceeded, during the lifetime of Gregory and Matthew, to assign an annual pension to the cardinal and to surrogate Matthew to him in respect of the archdeaconry. Urban VI. made provision thereof, void and reserved by the adhesion of cardinal Hugh to the antipope called Clement VII, to the late Lewis, cardinal deacon of New St. Mary's. Subsequently a cause arose about the said archdeaconry between Landulph, cardinal deacon of St. Nicholas in Carcere Tulliano, to whom provision thereof was made on its voidance by the death, without having had possession, of cardinal Lewis, and Thomas Sprot, clerk, of London, Matthew's successor, who opposed the provision. The cause, lawfully introduced to the apostolic see, was committed by the present pope, at the instance of Thomas, to Master Paul de Dugmano, chaplain, etc. and is still pending. As many doubt whether the archdeaconry, on account of the aforesaid, has remained reserved to the apostolic see, the pope declares hereby that from the time of the assignment of the said pension it did and does not remain, and was and is not, generally nor specially, reserved in any way to the apostolic see.
6 Id. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 235.)	To William Ferybi, priest, of the diocese of York. Dispensation, at the petition of Bartholomew, cardinal priest of St. Pudentiana's, to hold together for life (corrected in margin in place of ‘for three years,’ as in the text) two benefices with cure, even if parish churches or elective dignities.
15 Kal. July. Perugia. (f. 235.)	To Thomas de Monteacuto, dean of Salisbury, licentiate of canon and civil law. Extension of dispensation, at the petition also of king Richard, whose kinsman he is, so that he may retain for life the church of Chaddesey—which by the terms of the provision lately made to him by the pope of the deanery, an elective major dignity with cure, void and previously reserved, he was to resign, and which he afterwards, before obtaining possession of the deanery, had dispensation to retain therewith for two years, the pope willing him to exchange during that period one or other for a benefice compatible with the remaining one, otherwise at the end of that time to resign the church—after the lapse of the said two years, which are about to end, or to exchange it for any other benefice incompatible [with the deanery], even if an elective dignity, major in a metropolitan or cathedral, or principal in a collegiate church, personatus or office, with cure, and to exchange the same or both as often as seems good to him for two similar or dissimilar mutually incompatible benefices. (De mandato.)
8 Id. Oct. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 237d.)	To John Stacy, rector of Blonham, in the diocese of Lincoln. Dispensation to him, who is clerk of the king's household and holds canonries and prebends of York, Lincoln, and Gnosale in the diocese of Lichfield, to hold for two years together with Blonham another parish church, elective dignity, major or principal respectively, personatus or office, with or without cure, in a cathedral or metropolitan or a collegiate church. Within that time one of the two is to be exchanged for another benefice compatible with the remaining one, otherwise Blonham is to be resigned.
17 Kal. Sept. Assisi. (f. 240d.)	To Walter, bishop of Durham. Faculty to grant dispensation to ten persons of his choice who have attained their twentieth year, to hold a benefice with cure, even if an elective dignity, major in a metropolitan or cathedral or principal in a collegiate church, personatus or office, and to exchange it as often as they please for a similar or dissimilar benefice.
14 Kal. July. Perugia. (f. 241d.)	To Walter Metforde, alias Hakeborn, clerk, of the diocese of Salisbury. Dispensation to him, who is studying civil law at Oxford, to hold in his nineteenth year any benefice with cure, even if an elective dignity, major or principal respectively, personatus or administration with or without cure, or office in a cathedral, metropolitan, or collegiate church, and to exchange it as often as he please for a similar or dissimilar benefice.

5 Boniface IX.



11 Kal. Dec. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 247.)	Relaxation of three years and three quadragene of enjoined penance to penitents who on the principal feasts of the year and those of the dedication and Holy Cross, the octaves of certain of them, and the six days of Whitsun week; and of a hundred days to those who during the said octaves and days visit and give alms for the conservation of the parish church of Bokles, in the diocese of Norwich.

1393. 17 Kal. Sept. Assisi. (f. 262.)	To Walter, bishop of Durham. Indult to choose one or more coadjutors, to be appointed or removed at his pleasure.
Ibid. (f. 262d.)	To the same. Faculty to grant dispensation to ten persons of his city and diocese, who have already had dispensation on account of illegitimacy to hold one benefice, so that they may hold two other mutually compatible benefices, even if one have cure or be in a cathedral, and exchange them as often as they please for similar or dissimilar mutually compatible benefices.

De Prebendis Et Dignitatibus Vacaturis.



5 Kal. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 281d.)	To Thomas Karlelle. Provision to him, who is a priest and has studied canon law for some time, at the petition of Cosmatus, cardinal priest of St. Cross in Jerusalem, of a canonry of St. Davids, with reservation of a prebend and dignity, even with cure, not major, personatus or office; notwithstanding that the pope has lately ordered provision to be made to him of a benefice with or without cure in the common or several gift of the bishop, dean and chapter, and each and singular the canons and personeof Exeter.
5 Kal. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 281d.)	Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Hereford, the prior of Haverford, in the diocese of St. Davids, and John Trevor, canon of St. Asaph.

De Prebendis Vacantibus.



4 Id. May. Perugia. (f. 293.)	To Thomas Leche, B.C.L. Provision of the canonry and prebend of Norton in Hereford, value 10 marks, void and reserved to Urban VI. (under his general reservation of all benefices void through papal collation) through John Harold, dean of Hereford, obtaining by authority of that pope and during his lifetime the canonry and prebend of Bolinghope, united to the deanery. On the death of Urban VI, who died without having disposed of Norton, the present pope declared that all such benefices reserved by Urban VI. and void at his death remained void and at the pope's sole disposal, under which declaration he makes the present provision; notwithstanding that Leache has lately had provision from the present pope of the canonry and prebend of Landelandaveylok, in Abergwili, value 10 marks, and of canonries of Hereford and Abergwili, with expectations of prebends. Upon obtaining Norton the expectation in Hereford is to be null and void.
4 Id. May. Perugia. (f. 293.)	Concurrent mandate to the prior of Wenkok (sic), in the diocese of Hereford, the archdeacon of Hereford, and a foreign bishop.
1393. 13 Kal. Aug. Perugia. (f. 298.)	To William de Waltham, B.C.L. Provision of a canonry and prebend of London, as below. Lately the pope reserved all benefices void by papal deprivations; after which it was set forth to the pope on the part of Adam, cardinal priest of St. Cecilia's, that he had provision from the present pope, on its voidance, of the church of Warmouth, in the diocese of Durham, previously reserved, after and against which reservation Roger de Holm, sometime canon of London, intruded himself, taking the fruits; and that the pope committed the cause at the cardinal's instance to Master Thomas de Walkington, papal chaplain and auditor, who was, if he found the facts to be as above, to warn Roger under pain of excommunication, deprivation and disability, to give up the benefice to the cardinal, and make him satisfaction for fruits received, all which the auditor did, but Roger refused and refuses to obey, thereby incurring the said sentences. The cause was committed to Master John Trevor, papal chaplain and auditor, who declared Roger to be excommunicate, deprived, and unable to hold any benefices, whereby a canonry and prebend of London, value 50 marks, which he then held, has become void, whereof the pope now makes provision to William de Waltham; notwithstanding that he holds canonries and prebends of Salisbury and Wells, value together 130 marks, and a canonry and prebend of York, value 40 marks, and has lately had papal provision of the church of Orpyngton, then void, in the diocese of Rochester, value 100 marks, and recently of a dignity, personatus, or office, with or without cure, when void, in Salisbury.
1393. 13 Kal. Aug. Perugia. (f. 298.)	Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Salisbury, Richard Yonge, canon of Lincoln, and Richard de Holm, canon of Salisbury.
18 Kal. July. Perugia. (f. 316.)	To the archbishop of Cashel. Mandate to collate and assign to Thomas Wyot, perpetual vicar of Kalcolme or Kalcome, in the diocese of Ossory, if found fit after examination, the canonry and prebend of Ferns, value 20 marks, which became void and reserved to the pope (under his late reservation of void benefices of collectors to the camera) by the death of John Karlele, collector in Ireland, although Richard Montayne, priest, of the diocese of Ferns, unduly detains them; notwithstanding that he holds Kalcome, value 10 marks, and has lately had provision from the present pope of the perpetual vicarage of Bray, then void, in the diocese of Salisbury, value 50 marks, and of a benefice with or without cure, when void, in the common or several gift of the bishop, prior, and chapter of Winchester. On obtaining the said canonry and prebend, the last named provision is, as Thomas has offered, to be null and void.
3 Non. July. Perugia. (f. 353d.)	To William Langbrok, licentiate of canon law. Provision of a canonry and prebend of Wells, as below. Lately the pope reserved all benefices void at the apostolic see; after which it was set forth to him on William's behalf that a cause arose between him and Raynald, cardinal deacon of St. Vitus's in the Shambles (in Macello), about the canonry and prebend of Wormestorre in Wells, and the treasurership of the same, which William obtained, on their voidance in a certain way, by authority of the ordinary, and held for some time, and papal provision of which, void in another way, was made to the said cardinal, which provision William opposed, holding possession and taking the fruits. The cause, lawfully introduced to the apostolic see, was committed by Urban VI. at the cardinal's instance to the late Oderic de Ragoma, papal chaplain and auditor, who adjudged them to the cardinal and imposed silence on William, who was then absent from the Roman court, condemning him in fruits and costs. William, who did not give them up and has not yet done so, incurred by his contumacy sentences of excommunication, suspension, and interdict, and afterwards, by Urban VI's further mandate to the said auditor, of deprivation of his benefices and disability to hold any others, from which sentences he was by the present pope provisionally absolved, received dispensation on account of irregularity, if any, and was rehabilitated, and on their voidance, by the cardinal's resignation made to the pope, received provision of the said canonry and prebend and treasurership. After all this, Master Andrew Baret, papal chaplain and auditor, who asserted that he had papal provision of the canonry and prebend, renounced the same to the pope, whereby they are void and reserved to the apostolic see. The pope therefore makes provision thereof, value 60 marks, to William; notwithstanding that he holds the said treasurership, value 160 marks.
3 Non. July. Perugia. (f. 353d.)	Concurrent mandate to the bishop and official of Salisbury and the abbot of Glastonbury.
