To Edward III. The pope has heard that Master Oliver de Cerzeto, dean of St. Hilary's, Poitiers, papal chaplain and auditor, to whom was committed a cause touching a prebend of Lichfield, sent a messenger with letters citing the bishop of that diocese,
and Robert, brother of William de Kildesby to appear at the papal palace, and that the messenger, on his arriving at London, was seized, and by order of the said William and Robert, and thrust fettered into a dark prison, and that although the king ordered him to be released, William and Robert, by false representations, accusing him of a homicide, which they said he had committed in those parts, obtained a writ from the king's court ordering him to be detained. The pope requests the king to prohibit such acts, and to order the said messenger to be set at liberty, and to be free to execute the mandate of the said auditor. If the king does not do this, the pope will be obliged to apply such remedy as shall be expedient. |
