De Dignitatibus Vacantibus.



1465. 6 Id. Oct. (10 Oct.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 58d.)	To Thomas Offyn, dean of Ardfert. Collation etc., as below. It was set forth to the pope this day on his behalf that on the voidance of the deanery of Ardfert, a major dignity, by the deprivation of Gerard Fizimonis, (fn. 2) made by John bishop of Ardfert, that bishop made collation and provision thereof to the said Thomas (who had obtained no dispensation on account of his illegitimacy, as the son of unmarried parents who, in ignorance of any marriage impediment, clandestinely contracted marriage per verba legitime de presenti, and who were afterwards separated by a judgment of the church because they were related in the fourth degree of kindred, before which separation he was born), under pretext of which collation and provision he obtained and has held possession for five months, taking the fruits, although few, in good faith. The pope has therefore rehabilitated him by other letters, but has required him to resign. The said collation and provision being thus without force, and the deanery therefore still void as above, and also reserved, under the pope's late general reservation of all major dignities, the pope hereby makes to the said Thomas (who has duly resigned the deanery, who, without mentioning the said defect, was made a clerk, has studied letters for ten years, and has resided for two years in a university, (fn. 3) and intends to busy himself with the repair of certain churches belonging to the deanery) collation and provision of the said deanery, elective and with cure, value not exceeding 24 marks sterling; whether it be void as above, or by the promotion of the said bishop to the said church of Ardfert, and his consecration by papal authority, or in any other way. The pope furthermore specially dispenses him to act as a clerk, and to be promoted to all, even holy orders and receive and retain the said deanery, and with it any one other benefice, or otherwise [i.e. without the deanery] any two other benefices, with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or major or principal dignities, etc., or such mixed, namely, for three years in the case of parish churches or their perpetual vicarages, or in other cases for life, and to resign all such benefices, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases, notwithstanding the said defect and the pope's late ordinance to the contrary, etc. Vite etc.
	Concurrent mandate to the dean of Cashel, and John Ogoband and Eneas Odromoy, canons of Kilmore. Hodie dilecto filio. (P. and Alanus, N. de Castello. \| P. xxxx.xx. Pridie Kal. Novembris Anno Secundo. de Varris.) [4¾ pp. In the loop of the ‘P’ of ‘Paulus’ is ‘Her.,’ as above, Reg. Lat. DCXXXII, f. 89.]
Prid. Kal. Nov. (31 Oct.) St. Mark's, Rome. (f. 63d.)	To the abbot of Mothel (Motalia) in the diocese of Lismore, and Walter Juvenis (Young) (fn. 4) and Thomas Oflaheman, canons of Lismore. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Rory Macconmaira, canon of Cloyne (Clonen.), that Nicholas Head, chancellor of Cloyne, has dilapidated and alienated and uselessly consumed the goods of the said chancellorship, and has committed perjury, to the shame of the clerical order. The pope therefore hereby orders the above three, if Rory, who for fear of Nicholas's power cannot safely meet him in the city and diocese of Cloyne, will accuse Nicholas before the said three, to summon him and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said chancellorship, a nonmajor dignity with cure, value not exceeding 12 marks sterling, to Rory; notwithstanding that the pope has this day granted provision to be made to him of a certain perpetual benefice, called a parcel, (fn. 5) without cure and value not exceeding 6 marks sterling. Vite etc. (P. and M.Amici. P. xx. Residuum gratis pro deo. Tertiodecimo Kal. Decembris Anno Secundo. de Varris.) [3²/3 pp.]
17 Kal. June. (16 May.) St. Mark's, Rome. (f. 91.)	To the abbot of St. Mary's, Inishlounaght (de Surio), and the prior of Tathir (recte Cachir), in the diocese of Lismore. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Maurice Oronan, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Tybrid in the diocese of Lismore, that Gillacius Okeyt, dean of Lismore, has dilapidated and turned to his own profane and unlawful uses the goods of the deanery, has committed simony and usury, allows its houses and possessions to go to ruin, rules it uselessly and badly, and is commonly reputed in those parts a usurer. The pope therefore hereby orders the above two, if Maurice (who was lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and a married or an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure) will accuse the said Gillacius before the said two, to summon him and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said deanery, a major elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 26 marks sterling, to Maurice. The pope furthermore specially dispenses him to receive it, and to retain with it for life the said vicarage, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. and the pope's late ordinance to the contrary Vite etc. (P. and A. de Cortesiis. \| P. xxxvi. Nono Kal. Junii Anno Secundo. de Varris.) [2¾ pp.]
16 Kal. Jan. (17 Dec.) St. Mark's, Rome. (f. 98.)	To the abbot of St. Michael's, Maio, in the diocese of Tuam, and Thady Obrain and John Ocaellaidhe, canons of Tuam. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Riscerdus Bremicheam, clerk, of the diocese of Tuam, that Thomas Maraedagan (recte Macaedagan), provost of Tuam, has dilapidated and turned to evil uses the goods of the said provostship, and has committed simony. The pope therefore hereby orders the above three, if Riscerdus (who was lately dispensed by authority of the ordinary, on account of illegitimacy, as the son of unmarried parents, to be made a clerk, after which he was tonsured), will accuse the said Thomas before the said three, to summon him and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said provostship, a non-major non-elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 3 marks sterling, to Riscerdus. The pope hereby specially dispenses him to be promoted to all, even holy orders and receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Vite etc. (P. and A. de Montia. \| P. xii. Residuum gratis pro deo. Quintodecimo Kal. Februarii Anno Secundo. de Varris.) [4 pp.]

11 Kal. May. (21 April.) St. Mark's, Rome. (f. 179.)	To Donald Ocailti, canon of Derry (Deren.). Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by William Okahan, scholar, of the diocese of Derry, that Patrick Ocharmaic, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Achadduchart in the said diocese, an open fornicator, has committed simony and perjury, dilapidated and turned to his damnable uses certain goods of the said church, and perpetrated several other excesses and crimes about which he is defamed in those parts. The pope therefore hereby orders the above canon, if the said William (who desires to enter the clerical estate, and who was lately ordered by papal authority to be dispensed on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman related in the double and double third degrees of affinity, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, and who is of royal race after the fashion of the Irish), (fn. 6) will be a clerk, and will accuse the said Patrick before the said canon, to summon Patrick and others concerned, and if he find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him from the said vicarage and from the rectory of the said church, which are canonically united for his lifetime, and in that event to summon those concerned and, on account of the slenderness of their fruits, to unite the said vicarage and rectory for Patrick's lifetime and, if he be found fit, to collate and assign them to him, value not exceeding 8 marks sterling. The pope furthermore specially dispenses him to receive and retain them, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Laudabilia probitatis. (N. and A. de Cortesiis. \| N. xxv.
