(f. 9.)		 Grant as below. The pope recently [above, p. 239] granted an indulgence, for the lifetime only of Henry, king of England, its founder, in favour of the collegiate church of the college of St. Mary, Eton by Windsor, namely of plenary remission of sins to all faithful, being penitent and having confessed, who from the first to the second vespers of the Assumption should visit the said church and give alms for the repelling of the Turks etc., for the fabric of the said college and for the support of its ministers; with indult for the priests, appointed for the purpose by the provost, to hear the confessions of the said faithful and grant absolution, except in cases specially reserved to the apostolic see, one part of the oblations to be devoted to the said fabric and support, and the other three to the repulsion of the Turks, and especially to the help of the city of Constantinople and the island of Rhodes, etc. The pope now, at the petition of the said king, grants that all faithful who visit as above shall obtain plenary remission, and that the priests, appointed as above, may hear their confessions and give absolution, except in reserved cases, as above, and that the present grant shall hold good in perpetuity.

Footnotes

  • 1. This unusually short Register, of only 141 ff., is described on the back as ‘T. 9.’ and ‘Eug. IV., De cur. An. xiv. L. ix,’ and on a flyleaf, in the hand of De Prætis, ‘Eugenii IV., De Curia. Anno xiv. Liber Nonus. Tom. xiii’ (sic), after which come the rubrice headed in a contemporary hand ‘Rubricelle istius presentis xiiii libri de curia domini Eugenii pape quarti.’
  • 2. ‘Dilectum filium Magistrum Petrum de Monte notarium et in dicto regno Anglie fructuum camere apostolice collectorem.’ This style in 1444 is evidently retrospective, seeing that Peter de Monte was then entitled to be styled ‘venerabilis frater,’ having become bishop of Brescia on March 23, 1442 (Eubel, Hierarchia, II, ad loc.).
