Ibid.
The abbot and convent of Cambuskyneth. Whereas on the voidance of the church of Kilmoronok, in the diocese of Glasgow, by the resignation of John de Lindestry, the late bishop John gave it to them, it being of the patronage of the late king Robert, and it has been held by them for forty years, with the reservation by the bishop of the appointment of a vicar on their presentation: confirmation of the same was prayed for, but as the papal letter could not be expedited during the life of the pope's predecessor because they had not with them at the Roman court the bishop's original letter of appropriation, they had to obtain compulsory letters under seal of P. cardinal of St. Anastasia's, vice-chancellor of the Roman church, which they took with them to those parts, in which the papal grant to the abbot and convent was summarily set forth. Moreover their petition, signed by the pope's predecessor, was lost, and the register of petitions is in the hands of Bartholomew [Prignano, Urban VI.], the intruded pope, so that the abbot and convent are defrauded. They therefore pray the pope that, as the intention of his predecessor is sufficiently declared in the compulsory letters, he would order letters of confirmation to be issued in accordance with the same, and under date of those of his predecessor, or else that he would make the grant anew.
Granted the confirmation. Avignon, 6 Non. Oct.

(f. 177.)
William Gerland, of the diocese of Moray. For a canonry of Caithness, with expectation of a prebend, notwithstanding that he has the perpetual vicarage of Neu[t]ill, in the diocese of St. Andrews, which he is ready to resign, and the chaplaincy of Duffus castle.
Granted. Fondi, 10 Kal. Dec.

(f. 194.)
John Thome, of the diocese of Glasgow. Whereas a layman, by name Asplayn, pursued his mother from the town to the fields, and, as it is said, lay with her, he on hearing this the next day took a two-edged axe and came upon the layman in the fields, and, asking him why he pursued his mother, went to hit him on the head with the handle of the axe, but he moved his head so that the blow fell on his shoulder, then seizing the axe held it, and John, fearing that the layman would use the knife he had drawn, drew his knife, too, and attacked him with it, in order to get back the axe, and cut off his left thumb. He has been absolved and dispensed on account of this, so as to minister in his orders, but not those of the priesthood, and to hold one or two benefices without cure of souls, which dispensation is useless. He therefore prays that he may not have to beg for a further dispensation to celebrate low and high masses and hold a benefice with cure of souls.
Granted, except in the diocese in which the facts occurred, Avignon, 7 Kal. Nov.
