The pope has seen the transcript of these letters, and if it agrees with those produced they are undoubtedly false. [Theiner, 75.]

13 Kal. Aug. Viterbo. (f. 82d.)	Gamelin, bishop of St. Andrews, is to be put in possession of the temporalities of that see, and since the said bishop cannot defend his cause against the king of Scotland unless security be given by the king, the pope orders this to be done, upon which the king's objections against the said bishop may be heard and evidence received; the sentences of excommunication and interdict issued by the said bishop, and by the judges before whom the cause has already been heard are to be relaxed; if this be not done, Master Gottfrid of Alatri, papal chaplain, sent by the pope on this matter, is to relax them.

Alan called ‘Hostiarius,’ brother-in-law of the king of Scotland, claims the said earldom, on the ground that William's ancestors, Morgund and Duncan, were of illegitimate birth. He obtained papal letters addressed to the bishop of Brechin, and his colleague, to hear the cause, but they remitted the process to the pope, who committed it to cardinal Otho, before whom the opposite party produced certain letters under a papal bull, containing the tenor of the letter to the said bishop, which William had obtained to the abbot of Jeddewrd and his colleagues, by which the said letters addressed to the bishop and his colleague, if such was their tenor, as had been inserted in the second letters, are said to have been declared false by the pope. But, on the continued litigation of the parties, the cardinal, on Alan's proctor being unable to produce the original of the letters which he asserted on oath was in Scotland, with consent of both parties, cancelled the letters and processes on both sides, granting licence to the parties to obtain (papal) letters on the matter in question.

Boniface, archbishop of Canterbury, the bishops of London, Lincoln, and others, published sentence of excommunication against those who contravened this concession, and pope Innocent afterwards confirmed it; but John called ‘Walram,’ canon of Wells, to whom the custody of the church of Ely, when void, was committed, and his household, clergy and lay, destroyed the goods of the same, so that they incurred the said sentence; nor do they take any steps to make satisfaction to the church or bishop of Ely.

The bishop of Durham admitted Robert to the said church, on petition of the convent, by order of the bishop of Carlisle, to the great injury of the church of Carlisle; and he, living alone at Corbrig, broke out into dissolute living; so that the prior and convent petition that indemnity be made to their church on account of the church of Corbrig, and that Robert may not be allowed to perish, placed, as he is, outside all discipline. The pope therefore orders the above priors, if the above be true, to cause Robert to return to his cloister, and remain there under his prior's obedience, any papal indult to the contrary notwithstanding.
5 Non. Dec. Anagni. (f. 164d.)
