To the abbot of St. Mary's de Petra, Kilmacduagh (Duacen.). Mandate (the pope having been informed by John Odubgilla, scholar, of the diocese of Kilmacduagh, that William Ocorcrain, canon of Kilmacduagh, in obtaining possession of the rectory of Athanry in the diocese of Tuam, made a division and assigned a part of the fruits to another, thereby committing simony, has also committed perjury, and is defamed (fn. 3), and, detaining without any title, but de facto, the third part of the said rectory, has dilapidated the goods moveable and immoveable of the said rectory, of which he has been judicially deprived by apostolic authority) if the said John, after he has been made a clerk, accuses William before the above abbot etc., to summon William, and if he find the above to be true, to deprive and remove him from his canonry of Kilmacduagh and prebend of Kyllenain therein, and in that event to collate and assign them, value not exceeding 20s. of the money current in those parts, to the said John, who is hereby dispensed, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold them.

To Walter Blare, canon of Ross [in Scotland]. M. Collation and provision to him, who is by both parents of noble birth, of a canonry of Ross and the subdiaconal prebend therein, value not exceeding 15l. sterling, which became void, and therefore reserved to the apostolic see (in accordance with Eugenius IV's general reservation of all benefices void by the promotion of their holders to cathedral churches), by the promotion made by the said pope of John, bishop of Caithness (Cathenen.) to that church [below p. 295], and by his consecration, the said pope dying without having disposed of the said canonry and prebend; the collation and provision made thereof by Thomas, bishop of Ross (perhaps in ignorance of the said general reservation) to the said Walter (who, being similarly ignorant, obtained possession under pretext of the said collation and provision, and has held possession for more than a year, but without taking any fruits) being (in accordance with the present pope's continuation of the reservation of all such of the above benefices as had not been disposed of by pope Eugenius at his death) null, and the said canonry and prebend being therefore still void, as above, and reserved; notwithstanding that provision was lately made to him by papal authority of the archdeaconry of Teviotdale (Tevedalie) in the diocese (rectius church) of Glasgow, of which he is not in possession, value not exceeding 30l. sterling, and that the present pope also lately granted to him provision of a canonry of Dunkeld and another of Aberdeen, with reservation of as many prebends and of a dignity etc. of one of them.

To Richard Clepham, canon of Moray, bachelor of canon law. Reservation, as below. Lately Eugenius IV granted to Walter Stewart, who was holding a canonry and the prebend of Cardros in Glasgow, a certain other canonry and prebend therein, and ordered certain judges to collate and assign the said canonry and prebend of Cardros, upon their becoming void by Walter's obtaining the said other canonry and prebend, to Robert, [now] elect of Dunblane, then of lower rank (fn. 4), as is contained in letters of the present pope, those of pope Eugenius not having been drawn up before his death. Seeing that the present pope has meanwhile made provision to the said Robert of the said church [below p. 298], wherefore the canonry and prebend of Cardros are still expected to become void by the said obtaining possession [of the said other canonry and prebend by Walter], the pope hereby reserves them, value not exceeding 16l. sterling, to his gift, for collation to the above Richard, who is a priest; notwithstanding that he holds a canonry of Moray and the prebend called the vicarage of Elgyn Centum solidorum therein, the chancellorship of Dunkeld, which is a nonmajor dignity with cure, the value of each of which does not exceed 10l. sterling, and a yearly pension for life of 6l. sterling assigned to him by papal authority on the fruits etc. of a certain canonry and prebend of Glasgow; and that the pope has granted him provision of a canonry of Aberdeen with reservation of a prebend and a dignity etc. therein, and of a benefice with or without cure, even if a canonry and prebend, dignity etc., in the collation etc. of the bishop and the prior and chapter etc. of St. Andrews.
