2 Clement IV.



1266. 10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 6.)	Mandate to the archbishop of Tuam to pay, within one month, 500 marks, which have been due through two preceding pontificates, to Master Sinicius, clerk of the papal camera, sent on this and other bisiness to England and Ireland. If he does not pay it, Master Sinicius is to excommunicate him.
Ibid.	Concurrent letter to Master Synicius.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 6d.)	Mandate to Master Sinicius, papal nuncio, to warn the prior and chapter of Whitehern to pay to him or his agent 36 marks, collected for the crusade in Scotland by Yvo, of the order of Friars Preachers of Ar, and deposited with them. Pope Alexander ordered the prior of Whitehern to pay over the deposit at the house of the Templars in London; but as it was uncertain whether these papal letters reached their destination, he ordered the deposit to be paid to members of a firm of Florentine merchants, or their agent, bearer of his letters; and when, in the time of pope Urban, no money had been paid, the prior and chapter were ordered to pay it to Master Leonard, precentor of Messina, papal chaplain and nuncio, who was not only refused payment, but also his messenger was beaten by them, and thereupon he excommunicated them. If the prior and chaplain do not now pay the money, the former sentence of excommunication is to be renewed and published, and the prior is to appear personally before the pope and answer for the injury and contempt.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 7.)	Mandate to the archbishop of Armagh and the bishop of Meath to make inquiry as to a large sum of money and other goods collected by Master John de Frusinone for the Roman church and the Holy Land, and detained by those with whom it was deposited; and, as it does not appear that Master John rendered an account, to intimate the exact amount to the pope; with faculty to them to demand and give receipts for the same, compelling all who oppose them by ecclesiastical censure, any papal indult to the contrary notwithstanding. Whatever they receive is to be assigned to Master Sinicius, sent by the pope to those parts.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 7d.)	Mandate to the abbots of the Cistercian and other orders, to deans, archdeacons, provosts, knights templars, and hospitallers in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, to receive from Master Sinicius, clerk of the papal camera, and deposit, as he shall direct, any sums of money which he shall commit to them for transfer.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 8.)	Faculty to Master Sinicius, papal nuncio, to exact and receive in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, papal and Holy Land cess, Peter's pence, and debts contracted by vow or promise, tenths or twentieths, redemptions of crusaders’ vows or others, deposits, legacies, or goods of intestate clerks, or any other sums due.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 8.)	To Henry III., requiring him to pay to Master Sinicius the yearly cess of 1000 marks, now for five years unpaid.

10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 9.)	The like to Edward, the king's eldest son.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 9.)	To Ottobon, cardinal of St. Adrian's, papal legate, desiring him to assist Sinicius, and use his influence with the king to get payment made of the cess, Peter's pence, and other dues.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 9.d.)	Mandate to John de Cantia, a Friar Minor, papal chaplain, to urge the king to pay the yearly cess of 1000 marks, and to assist Master Sinicius in his business.
10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 9d.)	To archbishops, bishops, abbots, and heads of all religious and military houses in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, directing them to receive Master Sinicius, and to provide him with four or five mounts, and six or seven attendants, on his passing by them or their places, and with other necessaries, or give him 7s. sterling a day, (fn. 1) and to give him safe conduct. If he stay long in one place, this amount can be collected from other churches in the neighbourhood. If this is not done, Master Sinicius is empowered to compel them.
3 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 12.)	Mandate to Ottobon, cardinal of St. Adrian's, papal legate, who is holding the goods of the bishopric of Winchester, to pay therefrom 4300 marks to members of a firm of Sienese merchants living in England, bishop Ademar, in the time of pope Alexander, having promised to pay 1300 marks to the papal camera, and after his death and that of the said pope, bishop John, in Rome, bound himself for the same to pope Urban, and afterwards borrowed 4000 marks from another firm of Sienese merchants, repaying only 1000.

10 Kal. June. Viterbo. (f. 25.)

10 Kal. July. Viterbo. (f. 26.)	Mandate to Ottobon, cardinal of St. Adrian's, papal legate, to subtract from the tenth of church revenues collected in England the amount of the cess due to the Roman church, and to cause the rest to be spent for the king's benefit.
