The pope had already ordered them to examine and report on the case, but, his letters having been stolen, nothing has been done.
4 Kal. Nov. Lateran. (f. 21.)	Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich and papal legate, to enquire into and confirm the election of Luke de Nutreuill, archdeacon of Armagh, to be archbishop of that see, Master Ralph de Pincebech, having petitioned the apestolic see to confirm it, the king's ambassadors assenting.

15 Kal. Feb. Lateran. (f. 48d.)	Mandate to the bishop of Salisbury, the prior of Ambresbury, and the chancellor of Salisbury, on the petition of J. abbess of St. Edward's Shaftesbury, to impose silence on A. sacristan of the place, who, when the election of the abbess was presented to G. cardinal legate, for confirmation, was said to have been elected by some of the nuns, so that the legate refused to confirm the election of J. and issued a mandate to the abbots of Binedon and Cerne to examine the case, whereupon A. rising before them in the chapter, renounced her election and appeal, and consented to the election of J. who was admitted and blessed by the bishop. Nevertheless A. got apostolic letters to the abbot of Wardun and his fellow judges, by saying that she was coerced into renouncing her election, and suppressing all mention of what she had done and of the legate's process. Since a further hearing of the case she has harassed the abbess and caused her expense.

Mandate to the abbots of Cupre, Scone, and Dumfermelin, in the diocese of St. Andrews, on information from the archdeacon and the chancellor of Moray, to enquire and report to the pope whether their bishop seeks not only milk and wool from his flock, but also extorts sometimes an eighth and sometimes a third part of their revenues, according to his will, exacts procuration, although he makes no visitations, and extorts money from those about to be ordained, which he spends on women of ill fame, dissolves lawful marriages for money, and tolerates unlawful ones, although he has had charitable warnings from the archdeacon and the chancellor to reform his life.

[Monasticon, ii. 232]
7 Kal. Mar. Lateran. (f. 63d.)	Relaxation to Master Helyas, of Derham, at the instance of Lewis, eldest son of the king of the French, of the penance enjoined to him not to enter England without the pope's licence, so that he may return to the service of the archbishop of Canterbury. [See 2 Kal. Jun. 1218.]
Kal. Mar. Lateran. (f. 64.)	Indult to Master Richard de Lassewade, clerk, to receive an additional benefice with cure of souls, the pope having had testimony to his life, learning, and noble birth.

Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, to examine and deal with the petition of Hubert de Burgo, the king's justiciar, that the pope would dispense him from his vow of going to the Holy Land, inasmuch as his absence would be ruinous to the castles and fortresses, especially that of Dover, of which he is the sworn governor, and a great loss to the king and realm. He offers to send a fit number of soldiers or pay a subsidy to the Holy Land.
3 Kal. April. Lateran. (f. 81d.)	Mandate to the abbot of St. Eadmund's, Norwich, on the showing of Master Richard, archdeacon of Evreux, to free him without delay from the obligation which the abbot has prudently, not to say craftily, induced him to undertake, of paying to the prioress and nuns of Tesford a yearly rent of 10 marks, until the abbot provides them with a benefice of equal value, which the abbot promised to do, but has failed to keep his promise, although an occasion has often, presented itself. The pope has ordered the abbot and prior of Stratford and the archdeacon of London, if he does not comply, to compel him by ecclesiastical censure.
	Concurrent letter to the said abbot and prior.
2 Kal. April. Lateran. (f. 82.)	Mandate to the bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, on the information of king Henry, to ascertain the truth of the facts, and then warn and induce those servants and subjects of the king who molest him by reviving the claim of compensation which was settled once and for all by king John, to desist from their presumption, lest they fall under ecclesiastical censure.

Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, cardinal legate, on the petition of the king, to examine and take action about dispensing certain nobles and others who have taken the cross, allowing them to redeem their vow by a subsidy, their services being very useful to the king.
Ibid.	Mandate to the same, on the showing of the king, to warn and induce Luwelin, prince of Wales, to preserve castles, rents, dignities, and other royal rights, as he has bound himself by oath, according to particulars set forth in writing.
Ibid.	Mandate to the same, on the intimation of the king, to compel the justiciary of Ireland, if he has, as is asserted, contemned a former papal mandate, to come before the king and give an account of the rents and other goods of the king which he has received. [Theiner, 9.]
4 Kal. April. Lateran. (f. 83.)	Mandate to the same to warn and induce the prelates of churches of Ireland to satisfy the king for the regalia and fees which they hold of him, and other debts which they have withheld throughout the war. [Theiner, 10.]
Ibid.	Mandate to the same, on the petition of the king, to signify the pope's approval of the oaths taken by the great men of the realm before G. cardinal legate, to preserve the royal honours and rights, and to cause the regent and king's counsellors to observe them.
17 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 84d.)	Mandate to the same to admit Robert Passaleiwe, king's clerk, who has boldly opposed the king's enemies, to the church of Badingheam, he having been canonically presented to the legate, notwithstanding other benefices that he holds.
9 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 85.)	Indult to W. earl of Pembroke, the king's marshal, at the king's request, as a recognition of his services, not to be held responsible to anyone else so long as he is willing to do justice to complainants before the lord of the fee about things held in fee by him, the king's right being in all cases intact.
9 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 87d.)	Faculty to the bishop of Winchester to correct the excesses of his monks, notwithstanding their frivolous appeal. Intimation to him that a mandate is sent to the legate to enforce his sentences.
9 Kal. May. St. Peter's Rome. (f. 88.)	Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, to see that G. de Kauz, deacon, whose fidelity and diligence in the king's business are well known, and who has been absolved from his vow of pilgrimage to Jerusalem, sends four soldiers as his subsidy to the Holy Land, or gives the legate the amount necessary for their maintenance.
9 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 88.)	Indult to G. de Kauz, deacon, to hold the rectory of Camel in addition to that of All Saints, Wethmenes, which he has held since the council, and which he desires to retain.

9 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 88.)	Mandate to the same, on complaint by the king, to warn and compel prelates and chapters of churches in England to desist from proceeding to the election of pastors without the royal licence, contrary to right and custom.

n.d. (f. 91.)	Letter from the king of the French to the pope in answer to a letter urging him to prolong the truce with the king of England for the sake of the Holy Land and the Albigensian territory. He will do this unless he is obliged to defend himself against the king of England. Although the sons of King John have not the resources of their father, the king of France is unwilling to swear a truce, for he is of advanced age, and is obliged to observe his oath, while the sons of King John are under age, and therefore not so bound, so that he will cause his barons to swear the treaty, in number equal to those by whom the king of England shall cause it to be sworn.
6 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 91.)	Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, to denounce and publish in each diocese of England as invalid letters obtained about benefices collated by G. cardinal legate, unless full mention be made in them of the deprivation and collation made by him, as it appears that while many clerks were deprived for disobedience, and their benefices given to persons faithful to the king, many of them saying nothing of the cause for which they were deprived, got letters by fraud from Rome, by means of which they disturb the clerks who hold those benefices.
Non. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 91d.)	Mandate to the bishop of Salisbury and Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, on the petition of the bishop of Winchester, to grant him a faculty to transfer a monastery of nuns from the centre of the city, where they are exposed to the observation and empty talk of passers by, to the church of St. Cross, which he will do at his own and the monastery's cost, and also to place secular canons in the monastery.
Non. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 91d.)	Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, on the intimation of the bishop of Winchester, to order that he and Geoffrey de Cautio, Robert de Clinthamp’ and John de Chin, his clerks and commensals, shall not be summoned by papal letters before any judge except the legate, they being constantly harassed by persons jealous of his fealty to the king, and brought by such letters before judges of whom they are suspicious, and in unsafe places, to the end that they may, through fear, leave their cause undefended, or be brought to a ruinous compromise.
6 Id. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 93.)	Letter of thanks to the king of France for having prolonged the truce with the king of England for four years beyond the term originally fixed. The pope begs him, since he will not himself swear to the truce, to take every precaution that it is kept, not doubting his sincerity, but to make him pay close attention to the terms. [Bouquet, xix. 684.]
3 Non. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 94.)	Indult to the bishop of Carlisle to revoke pensions in the churches of his diocese which have been created or increased contrary to the canons.
5 Id. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 94d.)	Mandate to S. cardinal archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop of Salisbury, and P. bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, the elections of the archdeacon of Norwich and of Master R. de Eboraco, celebrated in the church of Ely (after R. and the proctors of the other party were examined before the pope), being cancelled, to assign to Master R. so much of the rents belonging to the episcopal income as he had before his election, to be received by him until he receive the equivalent in benefices from the bishop appointed by them.
n.d.	Mandate to B. (sic) cardinal of St. John and St. Paul, papal legate [in France] to prevent Lewis, son of the king of France, from seizing the land of the king of England, Poitou and Gascony.
16 Kal. June. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 95.)	Confirmation, addressed to the bishop of Bath and his successors, with recapitulation of the composition made between him and the prior and convent of Glastonbury on the union of the churches of Bath and Glastonbury.
Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 96d.)	Confirmation to the abbot and convent of St. Mary's, York, of their liberties, immunities, and customs.
12 Kal. June. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 98.)	Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, on the intimation of W. the marshal, earl of Pembroke, after examination had, to remove Master P. Malvicinus, canon of St. Patrick's, Dublin, of illegitimate birth, from the church of Ossory, of which the earl has the right of patronage. It appears that, during the voidance of that see, Master P. without a dispensation, attempted, in the hope first of election and then of postulation, to put himself into the church and minister in it, and that when he came with four canons to ask for confirmation from the archbishop of Dublin, he procured certain letters to be sealed with the seal of the chapter, by which, as far as he could, he bound the church in a sum of 500 marks, although the chapter had expressly forbidden any letters, except those of procuration, to be scaled. It is feared that there are others sealed, to the great injury of the church of Ossory, as the letters of archdeacon G. and official R., sent to the pope by the said marshal, fully declare.
8 Kal. June. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 100)	Indult to the convent of Glastonbury to retain for their own use during six years, for hospitality and alms, all churches of their advowson falling void, on condition that they appoint fit persons as vicars to be presented to the bishop, it appearing that their monastery suffers loss by the composition between them and the bishop of Bath, on the dissolution of the union.
5 Kal. June. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 100d.)	Confirmation to the prior and convent of Glastonbury of the grant of pope Celestine that their abbots for the time being might use pontifical insignia and have licence to bless priestly vestments.
17 Kal. Aug. Rieti. (f. 110d.)	Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, to settle the dispute touching the election of G. canon of Ardfert, as bishop of that see, and to order the archbishop of Cashel to consercrate him. The bishops of Waterford, Emly and Limerick, if it appears that they consecrated John, a priest of the diocese of Limerick, intruded into the see by G. de Marisco, justiciary of Ireland, are to be suspended and sent to Rome. [Theiner, 10.]

12 Kal. Sept. Rieti. (f. 124d.)
