To Griffin Yonge, doctor of canon law. Collation and provision of the church of Llanpadarn Vawr in the diocese of St. Davids, value not exceeding 300 marks, void and reserved to the pope by the promotion, made by the pope, and the consecration, made by the pope's order, of Guy (Guido) bishop of St. Davids; notwithstanding that he holds a canonry and prebend of Bangor; holds the church of Llanynys in the diocese of Bangor, which is governed by a rector and a perpetual vicar, the latter having the cure of souls, and which church Griffin, by apostolic ordinance, can, without other dispensation, hold with another benefice having cure; and that he is litigating in the Roman court about a canonry and prebend of Albergwili (sic), in the said diocese, the value of all which does not exceed 90 marks.

To the bishop of Telese, and the archdeacon and precentor (cantori) of Ross. Mandate, as below. This day the pope—on its being set forth on behalf of Donatus Ohedorsgeoil, priest, of the diocese of Ross, that he formerly received papal dispensation, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure; that thereafter, having been made a clerk, he obtained from bishop Bernard, by his ordinary authority, the perpetual vicarage of Cribet in the said diocese, void by the resignation of Cristin Igearig to the said bishop; that within a year thereof he received the subdiaconate and the diaconate but was kept back by an impediment from being promoted to the priesthood; that after the lapse of the said year he was so promoted, and was presented by a lay patron to the same bishop, and by that bishop instituted, by his ordinary authority, to the parish church, called rectory, of Gleannbercain in the said diocese, of the patronage of laymen, void by the death of Donatus Ohedersgeoil; and that he, in ignorance of the law, without having obtained dispensation for the purpose, detained, as he still does, both vicarage and church, the fruits of which latter he has taken during three months only—has [below Reg. CVIII, f. 5d] rehabilitated him, and required him to resign both, dispensing him, nevertheless, to hold them, if canonically collated to him, as well as one, two or three benefices, without cure, and to resign for exchange or otherwise the vicarage and church and hold instead two other incompatible benefices, even if parish churches or perpetual vicarages, or dignities, personatus or offices, with or without cure, in metropolitan, cathedral or collegiate churches, and elective, and even if one of such benefices should have been immediately held by his father. Seeing that, as the pope has learned, the said vicarage is, by his said non-promotion to the priesthood, still void, the pope orders the above executors to collate and assign to him the same, value, with that of the said church—provision of which the pope has this day by other letters ordered to be made to him—not exceeding 8 marks. Vite etc. (Pro Deo.) |

To the same. Mandate, as in the preceding, as far as his father. Seeing that, as the pope has learned, the said church is, by the death of the said Donatus Ohedersgeoil, still void, the pope orders as in the preceding, as far as the end, mutatis mutandis. Vite etc. (Pro Deo.) |
