1440. 8 Id. July. Florence (f. 47d.)	To the bishops of Valva and Clonmacnoise and the prior of Chillichanei in the diocese of Meath. Mandate as below. The recent petition of Rory Macmurchertaidh, priest, of the diocese of Ardagh, contained that, after Martin V's confirmation of, and reservation to himself and his successors of absolution from, all sentences etc. of his predecessors against simoniacs; and that, after Bernard Macmurchertaidh, then official of Ardagh, proceeding to execute certain letters of the present pope [see Cal. Lett. VIII, p. 420], had by a definitive sentence, which became a res judicata, deprived the late Andrew Ochaassy of the rectory of St. Mary's, Lochssyddi alias Ballymore (Villamagna) in the diocese of Meath, and had collated and assigned it, thus void, to the said Rory, the latter, fearing the power of the said Andrew and his adherents, consented that the fruits etc. should be divided into two parts, one for himself, the other for Andrew, who received the same till his death; that subsequently Rory gave to William, bishop of Meath, some cows, in order that the bishop might collate and assign to him by his ordinary authority the said rectory de novo, thereby incurring the said sentences; and that the said bishop made to him collation and provision, under pretext of which [two] collations and provisions Rory obtained and still detains the said rectory. Seeing that the collation and provision by the said bishop do not hold good, and seeing that some doubt the force of the collation and provision by the said official; seeing also that the said rectory is, as the pope has learned, still void by the said deprivation, the pope orders the above, after the said Rory (who was lately dispensed by papal authority, as the son of unmarried parents related in the triple third and in the fourth degrees of kindred, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he was so promoted and obtained the said rectory, as above) has resigned the said rectory to them, to absolve him from all sentences etc. incurred, enjoining penance, and rehabilitate him, and in that event to collate and assign to him the said rectory, value not exceeding 60 marks sterling, whether it be void as above, or by the death of the said Andrew or of John Ichaassy, or by the resignation of John Ichynan, priest, of the said diocese of Meath, or in any other way. Rory is hereby specially dispensed, on account of the said defect, to hold it. Solet copiosa. (B. and G. Gonne. \| B. xviii. Residuum gratis pro deo. Duodecimo Kal. Augusti Anno Decimo. Valven.)

Id. Oct. Florence (f. 114.)	To John [de Mella], (fn. 4) bishop of Zamora, residing in the Roman court. Mandate to collate and assign to Theoderic de Oudencoep, canon of the church of Soutmallyng in the diocese of Chichester, an abbreviator of apostolic letters and a continual commensal member of the household of Francis, cardinal priest of St. Clement's, vice-chancellor of the Roman church, the canonry and prebend of the cathedral (majoris) church of Utrecht, value not exceeding 16 marks of silver, which became void by the death of Henry Honberch, who was also an abbreviator, and about which there has been litigation in the Roman court since the cause (which began between two claimants named) was committed by Martin V, and on his death by the present pope, to the above John, then a papal chaplain and auditor. On the voidance, as the above Theoderic believed, by the death, in possession of the said canonry and prebend, of one of the said two claimants, the above Theoderic, who was also ignorant of the said suit, accepted and caused provision to be made to him of the same, by vigour of letters by which the present pope lately made provision to him of a canonry of the said cathedral church, and another of the church of St. Mary, Utrecht, with reservation of as many prebends and of a dignity etc. of one of them, whence arose a further cause between Theoderic and a third party [named], which the pope committed likewise to the above John, who had been then promoted to the church of Leon (fn. 5) and was residing in the said court, and who continued to proceed, short of a conclusion, even after his translation from Leon to Zamora (fn. 6) and his consecration. The collation is to be made notwithstanding that Theoderic holds [a canonry and prebend] of Soutmalling, value not exceeding 20 marks sterling, and that he lately, by vigour of the pope's said other letters, accepted and got provision made to him of another [canonry and prebend] of the said cathedral church, value likewise not exceeding 16 marks of silver (which he is to resign upon obtaining the above canonry and prebend of the same church) and a [canonry and prebend] of the said church of St. Mary, Utrecht, value not exceeding 15 marks of silver, etc. Vite etc. (An. and Ja. Petri. \| An. Gratis pro familiari domini vicecancellarii, Octavo Kal. Decembris Anno Decimo. de Adria.) [5¼ pp. See Cal. Lett. VIII, pp. 392, 575 and above, p. 120.]
8 Kal. Sept. Florence (f. 140.)	To the bishops of St. Andrew and Aquila, and Alexander [Lauder], elect of Dunkeld. Mandate as below. The petition of William de Elphi[n]stone, rector of Ecclesmauchane in the diocese of St. Andrews, contained that although by vigour of papal letters he formerly accepted within the lawful time and had provision made to him of the said church on its voidance by the death of John de Heton, nevertheless Patrick de Sandelandis and Alan de Borthwyk, clerks, of the said diocese, claiming the said church, prevented the said provision from taking effect, Patrick taking possession, which he still unduly detains, and both he and Alan in many ways molesting the said William; that the cause which arose, lawfully introduced to the Roman court by William's appeal, was committed by the present pope, at William's instance, to Baptista [de Romanis], elect of Chicti, holding the place of an auditor of causes of the apostolic palace, who by a definitive sentence declared the said grace, acceptance and provision and their consequences to have been and to be canonical, the said church to have belonged and to belong to William, adjudged it to him, removed Patrick and Alan, inducted William, imposed perpetual silence on Patrick and Alan, and condemned Patrick in fruits taken, and him and Alan in the costs, which last he afterwards taxed at 28 gold florins of the camera. Seeing that, as the said petition added, the said William doubts whether, whilst the cause has been pending, others have intruded themselves or may do so, the pope orders the above to execute the said sentence, inducting William and removing the said Patrick, and causing satisfaction to be made to William in respect of the said fruits and costs, and moreover to execute the same even against such intruders, as far only as regards giving possession of the said church to William, invoking the aid of the secular arm, etc. Exhibita nobis.

16 Kal. May. Florence (f. 148.)	To the bishops of Valva, Cork and Lismore. Mandate as below. The petition of Henry Burnham (fn. 7), rector of the parish church called the plebania of Dongarvan in the diocese of Lismore, contained that although the said church, which is of the patronage of laymen, and which had been so long void by the death of Maurice Ocogereyn that its collation had lapsed to the apostolic see, was lawfully due to him by vigour of letters granted to him by Martin V, by which provision thereof was ordered to be made to him, and by which he was dispensed to hold therewith for life the archdeaconry of Lismore, a non-major dignity, and to resign them, as often as he pleased, nevertheless the Augustinian abbot and convent of St. Mary's, Keynsham, in the diocese of Bath and Wells, falsely asserting that the said church was united to the said monastery, opposed and prevented, as they still do, the said grant from having effect, and took possession; that Henry brought them before Richard [Ankel], (fn. 8) bishop of Lismore, who promulgated a definitive sentence in his favour; that the present pope committed, at the abbot and convent's instance, their appeal to the apostolic see to Ralph [Rolland, (fn. 9) now] bishop of Tréguier, then a papal chaplain and auditor, who revoked the said sentence by an unjust definitive sentence, from which Henry appealed to the said see; that the pope, at Henry's instance, committed his appeal to John [de Mella (fn. 10), now] elect of Leon, then a papal chaplain and auditor, who promulgated two definitive sentences, one by which the proceedings of the said Ralph, and another by which the proceedings of the said bishop Richard, were pronounced null, from the second of which Henry appealed to the said see; that the pope, with consent of the proctors of both parties, gave commission to the said elect to reject the causes of the said nullity, and to hear and terminate the principal cause; that after the said bishop Richard (fn. 11) had proceeded short of a conclusion, upon the chancellorship of Limerick, a non-major dignity (which Jordan (fn. 12), [now] bishop of Cork, held at the time (fn. 13) of his promotion, made by the pope's said predecessor (fn. 14), to the united churches of Cork and Cloyne) becoming void by the resignation to John [Mothel], (fn. 15) bishop of Limerick, of the said Jordan, who was within the canonical time for consecration, the said bishop John made collation and provision thereof by his ordinary authority to the said Henry, who, resigning the said archdeaconry, obtained possession of the said chancellorship under pretext of the said collation and provision and detained for some time it and the said rectory (of which he had taken possession in force of execution of the sentence of the said bishop Richard, which was said to have become a res judicata) without obtaining any other canonical dispensation; and that the present pope has by other letters rehabilitated Henry, requiring him to resign the said rectory and chancellorship. Seeing that all the right which Henry possessed in or to the said rectory at the time of the said obtaining [of the chancellorship] became void thereby, the pope by other letters [above pp. 52, 53] ordered the said elect to surrogate Henry, after he resigned the said chancellorship and rectory, in and to the said right, and to collate and assign it to him, and moreover to collate and assign to him the rectory itself, which elect has by a definitive sentence pronounced the said mandate to surrogate Henry and its consequences to have been and to be canonical, the said rectory to have belonged and to belong to him, adjudged it to him, pronounced the said abbot and convent to have had and to have no right in or to it, inducted Henry into corporal possession, imposed perpetual silence on the abbot and convent, and condemned them in the costs of the cause before him, which he subsequently taxed at 50 gold florins of the camera. The said petition adding that Henry doubts ... secular arm etc. as above, f. 108d, mutatis mutandis. Exhibita nobis. (An. and Jo. de Reate. \| An. xxiiii. de Adria.)

Seeing that, as the said petition added, the said John] doubts the validity of the said collation and provision, and seeing that the said rectory is still void as above, the pope orders the above dean to collate and assign it, value not 20 marks sterling, to John, who is a priest, if found fit; whether it be void as stated, or by the said James obtaining, by authority of the ordinary, the rectory, called plebania, of the parish church of St. Tierney, Cluaneoys, in the said diocese (fn. 20), or in any other way, and notwithstanding that John was lately received by the said authority as a canon of Clogher.
