Miscellaneous 1485



1485. April 23. Archives, Venice, Library.	1473. Pope Innocent VIII. to the Collector of the Fruits due to the Apostolic Treasury in the Kingdom of England.
	Heretofore Giovanni Ambrogio de' Negroni, a Genoese merchant residing in London, in obedience to the letters of Sixtus IV., settled and paid the annats for Walter [Fitzsimons], Archbishop of Dublin (that see being then, as it were, vacant), disbursing 3,816 ducats, which through Francesco and Domenico de' Centurioni, also Genoese merchants, liege men of the Court of Rome, were, moreover, paid [to the Papal treasury]. Giovanni Ambrogio, relying on the good faith of the Archbishop, consigned to him the letters authorizing him to take possession of the see of Dublin. The Archbishop has hitherto refused payment, and caused Tomaso de' Negroni and other agents to be treated with disrespect.
	The Pope therefore, at the suit of Giovanni Ambrogio, commands the collector to admonish the Archbishop, under penalty of being interdicted entry into the Church, and of being suspended a divinis by Papal authority, to pay the aforesaid sum in the course of October next.
	Rome, 23rd April 1485, 1st year.
