De Exhibitis.



1453[–4]. 3 Non. Jan. (3 Jan.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 7.)	To the abbot of Cambuskynnech (sic) in the diocese of St. Andrews. Mandate, at the recent petition of David Wark, priest, of the diocese of St. Andrews (containing that formerly, on the voidance of the perpetual vicarage of Buthkenar in the said diocese because the late John de Redhuch, when holding it, obtained by collation of the ordinary the perpetual vicarage of Ercht in the same diocese, James bishop of St. Andrews made collation and provision of the said vicarage of Buthkenar to David, who in virtue thereof obtained possession and has held it for about seven years, taking the fruits; and adding that he doubts whether the said collation and provision hold good) to collate and assign to him the said vicarage, value not exceeding 7l. sterling, still void as above; whether it be so void, or be void in any other way. Dignum arbitramur. (T. and G. Gonne. \| T. xx. Septimo Id. Maii Anno Octavo. de Tervisio.) [2½ pp.]
1453[–4]. 4 Id. March. (12 March.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 61d.)	To Master Peter de Valle, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of John Donaldi, priest, of the diocese of Dunblane, contained that on a dispute arising between him and Thomas Penwen, canon of Glasgow and George de Schoriswod, [now] elect of Brechin, then vicar of Hachington (rectius Hathington) in the diocese of St. Andrews, about the chancellorship of Dunkeld, John alleging that on its voidance by the death of Richard Clapham (fn. 2) provision was made to him by papal authority [see above, p. 232], and that Thomas and George unjustly opposed and prevented the grant from taking effect, and that George unduly detained possession of the chancellorship, the said Thomas and George alleging, on the contrary, that it belonged to them, the pope committed the cause, although it had not by its nature lawfully devolved to the Roman court, to the above auditor, who is said to have proceeded short of a conclusion; and added that the pope has recently, whilst the suit was pending before the said auditor, made provision to the said elect of the said church of Brechin, wherefore all right, if any, belonging to him at the time of the said provision in or to the said chancellorship, is by the said provision and by the consecration which is to be administered to him, expected to become void. The pope therefore orders the above auditor to reserve to his gift, for collation to John (all of whose benefices and their values and the state of the cause and his dispensations the pope holds to be expressed by these presents) the said right, and to make collation and provision to him thereof, etc., and moreover to collate and assign to him the chancellorship itself, a non-major non-elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 8l. sterling; whether it be void as above, or by the deaths without the said court of the said Richard Clapham or Nicholas de Atholia or John de Atholia (fn. 3); or by the resignation of the said George, Richard, Nicholas, John or other, or be void in any other way. Vite etc. (P. and Ja. de Vicencia. \| P. xxiiii. Non. Maii Anno Octavo. de Varris.) [3 pp.]
Ibid. (f. 63.)	To the bishops of Spoleto and Kilmore (Triburnien.) and the prior of St. Mary's, Druimleathan, in the diocese of Kilmore. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of Patrick Meconaing, [now] a priest, then a clerk, of the diocese of Kilmore contained that after Martin V and Eugenius IV's renewal and reservation to themselves and their successors of absolution from all sentences of excommunication etc. against simoniacs, he, as ignorant of the law, believing it lawful to him, took oath to Thady (Thigeo) Maginbue (whom Andrew Macbraday, then holding a perpetual benefice called the rectory in the parish church of St. Patrick de Bruimghuing (sic) alias de Machary Innyubair (rectius Macharym n Yubair) in the said diocese, had appointed as his proctor for the purpose of resigning the said benefice in favour of Patrick) at the instance of the said Andrew's father and brother (fn. 4), to make a compensation, even in money, to the said Andrew, and that he subsequently paid Andrew, not without simony, half a mark of silver a year for more than six years; that afterwards the said Eugenius, upon learning that Andrew proposed to resign, ordered Fergal, prior of Holy Trinity de Lochuuachtare in the said diocese, and certain colleagues [not here named] to receive and admit such resignation by papal authority, and after doing so to collate and assign the said benefice to Patrick, in pursuance of which Andrew bishop of Kilmore, sub-commissioned by the said prior, ignorant of the said promise, admitted the said resignation, and made collation and provision of the said benefice, void by the said resignation, to Patrick, who under pretext of such collation and provision obtained possession, taking the fruits in good faith and incurring the said censures etc. The said collation and provision being therefore null, and the said benefice being still void as above, the pope hereby orders the above three to absolve Patrick (who was lately dispensed by papal authority, on account of illegitimacy as the son of unmarried parents, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which, having been so promoted, he was received by authority of the ordinary as a canon of Kilmore) from the said sentences etc., enjoining penance, dispense him on account of irregularity, and rehabilitate him, and thereafter to collate and assign to him, after he has resigned it, the said benefice, which is without cure, and whose value does not exceed 6 marks sterling, whether void as above, or void in any other way. Solet sedis apostolice. (P and M. Amici. \| P. xx. Quarto Non. Maii Anno Octavo. de Varris.) [4 pp. +. See Cal: Papal Lett. VIII, p. 428, and above, Reg. Lat. CCCCXCVI, f. 99.]
1453[–4]. 14 Kal. March. (18 Feb.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 97d.)	To the prior of St. Catherine's, Eachdruim Omane, in the diocese of Clonfert. Mandate, as below. The pope has learned that a canonry of Clonfert and the prebend of Baleinabollgoirt therein have become void by the death of Nicholas Odubgilla, although Charles Omadayn and Donatus Okcallayd, bearing themselves as canons of the said church, and dividing (sectando) the fruits etc. thereof by their own temerity, have detained the said canonry and prebend for about three years after the said division (sectionem); and the recent petition of Thady Yclumayn, perpetual vicar of Kyllaedamnyrmaemnady in the same (fn. 5) diocese, contained that if the said perpetual vicarage, value not exceeding 3 marks sterling, which the said Thady obtained by collation made to him by authority of the ordinary on its becoming void in a certain way and at present holds, taking the fruits, were united and appropriated to the said canonry and prebend, value likewise not exceeding 3 marks sterling, for his lifetime, and if provision of the said canonry and prebend and vicarage, thus united, were made to him he could be more decently maintained etc., and that it would also make for the honour of the said churches. The pope therefore orders the above prior to summon the said Charles and Donatus and others concerned, and if he find the facts to be as stated, to unite the said vicarage to the said canonry and prebend for Thady's life, and to collate and assign them, thus united, to Thady, who desires to study letters and canon law, which latter he has already studied for some time, at least in a studium particulare, Iniunctum nobis. (P and M. Amici. \| P. xxvi. de Varris.) [3 pp. +.]

De Regularibus.



1453[–4]. Prid. Id. March. (14 March.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 225.)	To Thomas Byngham, a canon of the Augustinian priory of Thurgarthon in the diocese of York. Dispensation to receive and retain a benefice with cure wont to be governed by secular clerks, even if a parish church or a perpetual vicarage, or of the patronage of laymen, of any value, and to resign it, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases. Religionis zelus, vite etc. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. \| P. xxv. de Varris.) [1 p.]
