To the archdeacons of Whiteherne and Glasgow and William Gonne, a canon of Rennes (Redonen.).

Seeing that Ninian bishop of Whiteherne, for no reasonable cause, has refused to institute him, and has, moreover, made by his ordinary authority collation and provision of the said church to Gilbert Magdonale, clerk, of the said diocese of Whiteherne, as being void by the death of the said William, from which refusal and collation etc. Thomas has appealed to the apostolic see, and seeing that the said church is still void by the said obtaining [of that of Wygton], the pope, hereby ratifying the said presentation, orders the above three to collate and assign the said church, value not exceeding 18l. sterling, to Thomas; notwithstanding that he holds the said parish church of Malvil and a canonry of Sodor and the prebend of Kyngart therein, the value of each not exceeding 10l. sterling. The pope hereby dispenses him to receive and retain, for two years only, the said church of Kells, together with that of Malvil, or with one of them any other, or without them any two other parish churches. Litterarum etc. (G. de Piccolominibus. | xxxx. A. de Urbino. Jo. Baptista.) [In the margin:Novembris. 3½ pp. Theiner has made his cross in the margin of the Rubricelle and of f. 62. He has also written his ‘etc.’ in the margin of the text, his usual instruction to his copyist to omit the Non obstantibus and following clauses. The bull does not appear, however, in his Monumenta.]

Footnotes

  • 1. On the back of the volume is the usual modern red leather label, with: ‘Pii ii. de Cur. A. iii. iv. v. vi. T. xxvii,’ and on the bottom edge of the volume is the usual contemporary description: ‘xxvii. bullarum Pii.’ Inside the volume is a parchment flyleaf, not part of the original binding, but apparently part of an imperfectly erased but only very partially legible notarial instrument, containing inter alia the mutilated text of a bull of Martin V dated at the SS. Apostoli, Rome, Id. Feb. anno 8 (13 Feb. 1425) which apparently consists of a faculty, granted at the instance of Henry king of England, for the rehabilitation of ecclesiastics in England on account of the non-payment of annates and common and mean services. The Rubricelle, of which there are 8 pp, are headed: ‘Rubricelle libri xxvii. bullarum sanctissimi domini nostri domini Pii divina providentia pape ii,’ and end with the word ‘Finis,’ below which the ‘rubricator’ has added: ‘Rubricellatus fuit iste liber per me Baptistam Zucheta clericum Novarien(sem) in Camera apostolica scriptorem de anno domini mcccclxiiiio . indictione xii. die vero iia . mensis Augusti pontificatus sanctissimi in Christo patris et domini domini nostri Pii divina providentia pape ii. anno vio .’ There are i-cccxii ff. of text.
  • 2. Also spelt ‘de Kiellis.’
  • 3. necnon, quod deterius est, cuidam rixe in qua enormis effusio sanguinis ac mors hominis intervenit causam dare non expavit.
