1469. 6 Kal. Oct. (26 Sept.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 83d.)	To the bishops of Coventry and Hereford, and the archdeacon of Chester in the church of Lichfield. Mandate, as below. The recent petition of the abbot and convent of St. Mary's, Vale Royal (de Valle regali), O. Cist., in the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, contained that although they had formerly canonically obtained the parish church of Lambadern Vaur in the diocese of St. Davids and its chapels, previously united and impropriated in perpetuity to the said monastery, and although they had long held and were still holding possession thereof in peace, nevertheless Owen Pole, vicar-general in spiritualties of Robert, bishop of St. Davids, successively made collation of them, as being void (which they were not, inasmuch as they were united to the said monastery, as aforesaid) to William ap Howell’ ap Adam and William [ap] John (fn. 2) and Thomas Hopkin, clerks, under pretext of which the said Thomas (the said abbot and convent being absent and not summoned), intruded himself into possession of the said church and chapels, whilst alike he and the said William ap Howell’ and William [ap] John (fn. 2) have greatly molested the said abbot and convent in regard to the said church and chapels, not allowing them to have peaceable possession thereof, wherefore the said abbot and convent have appealed to the apostolic see. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three to summon the said William ap Howell', William [ap] John (fn. 2) and Thomas, and others concerned, hear both sides, taking cognizance also of the principal matter, and decide what is just, without appeal, causing their decision to be observed by ecclesiastical censure.

1469. 15 Kal. Jan. (18 Dec.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 156d.)	To Fergal Ogormuly, prior of Inchmacnerin (de Insula Macnery) in the diocese of Elphin, and John Oargadan [sic] and Dermit Oflanagan, canons of Elphin. Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by Cormac Macdavid, a monk of the monastery of St. Mary's, Boyle (de Buellio), O. Cist., in the diocese of Elphin, that Thady Oficeally alias Maccormarcy, sacrist of the said monastery, has committed theft, of which he has been convicted, and for which he has been condemned, and has so negligently exercised the cure of souls attached to the sacristship that some of the faithful, of whom he had the cure of souls, have died without the sacraments. The pope therefore hereby orders the above prior and canons, if the said Cormac, who has made his regular profession as a monk of the said monastery, will accuse the said Thady before them, to summon Thady and others concerned, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove Thady, and in that event to collate and assign the said sacristship, an office with cure, value not exceeding 5 marks sterling, to the said Cormac. Religionis etc. (Hug. and A. de Cortesiis. \| Hug. xvi. Exped.Tercio Kal. Februarii Anno Sexto. prothonot. Bisuntin.) [3½ pp.]
1470. Id. May. (15 May.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 164d.)	To William Massy, a canon of the monastery of St. Giles, Bernewell', O.S.A., in the diocese of Ely. Indult to him, who desires to study civil law, to do so (fn. 7) in an university for five years only, and thereafter to take the doctor's degree.Religionis etc. (Hug. and Ja. Prats. \| Hug. xii. prothon. Bisuntin.) [1 p.]
1469. 13 Kal. Jan. (20 Dec.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 168.)	To the priors of Keananas and Achamacurth in the diocese of Ossory, and the archdeacon of Ossory. Mandate, as below. The priorship of the monastery of Feartkearch, O.S.A., in the diocese of Ossory, which is conventual, has become and is void [in a way not here stated], and therefore ipso facto reserved to the pope, in accordance with his late reservation to his gift of all conventual priories, void and to become void. The pope has further learned that the perpetual vicarage of the parish church of Heyrke in the said diocese is also void, namely, by the death of Malachy Macgillaphadrich, and that it has been so long void that by the Lateran Statutes its collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although Cornelius Ocahyle, priest, has unduly detained possession of it for between two and three years, under pretext of a collation made to him by the ordinary after the said lapse, and without other canonical title; and that, furthermore, Dermit Oracthura, priest, of the said diocese, desires to dwell in the said priory under the regular habit. Moreover, the recent petition of the said Dermit contained that the fruits etc. of the said priory are so slight that its holder cannot bear its burdens, which are heavy, and that the said Dermit could be more becomingly maintained and easily bear the said burdens if the said vicarage, which is not more than an Italian mile from the said priory, were united thereto for his lifetime. The pope therefore orders the above three to receive the said Dermit, if found fit, as a canon of the said priory, give him or cause to be given to him the [regular] habit, and receive his profession; and thereafter to collate and assign to him the said priory, elective and with cure, value not exceeding 8 marks sterling, whether it be void by the deprivation, made by authority of the ordinary, of Thomas Ieathy for his faults and demerits, by a definitive sentence, which became a res judicata, or in any other way; and moreover (if, after summoning the said Cornelius and others concerned, they find the facts to be as stated above), to unite the said vicarage, value also not exceeding 8 marks sterling, to the said priory for the said Dermit's lifetime only; removing from the latter any unlawful detainer and from the former the said Cornelius any others.

10 Kal. Jan. (23 Dec.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 207.)	To the abbots of St. Mary's, Mellifont (Mellefontis), and SS. Peter and Paul's, Cnok, and the prior of St. Mary's, Loueth, in the diocese of Armagh. (fn. 8) Mandate, as below. The recent petition of abbot Peter and the convent of the monastery of St. Mary, Navan (de Nouano), O.S.A., in the diocese of Meath, contained that although the perpetual vicarage of the parish church of Ardbracan in the said diocese had been united and incorporated to the said monastery, and although the said abbot and convent had in virtue thereof obtained and held possession of it for some time, and were still holding it, nevertheless upon James Porter, archdeacon of Kells in the church of Meath, falsely suggesting to the pope that the said union etc. had been uncanonically made, and that divine worship and the wonted number of canons in the said monastery were daily diminishing, whence opportunity arose for the said abbot and convent to wander about and frequent taverns, and that its buildings were tending to fall, the pope, circumvented by the said suggestions, ordered the abbot de Benedictione Dei, alias de Kilbagan, and the priors of Balibogan and Kilkemy [sic], in the said diocese, their own names not being expressed, to summon the said abbot Peter and convent and others concerned, and if they found the facts to be as stated, to dissolve the said union, etc., and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage to the said James. The said James having in virtue of the pope's letters caused abbot Peter and the convent to be summoned before Dermit, abbot of the said monastery de Benedictione Dei, the latter, wrongfully proceeding, promulgated a definitive sentence in favour of the said James and against abbot Peter and the convent, from which they have appealed to the apostolic see, but have been prevented by a lawful impediment from prosecuting it within the lawful time. The pope therefore orders the above three to summon the said James and others concerned, and if they find true what is alleged about the said impediment, to proceed in the said appeal cause, and to confirm or quash (fn. 9) the said sentence, without appeal.Humilibus supplicum votis. (Hug. and A. de Cortesiis. \| Hug. x. prothon. Bisuntin.) [1¾ pp.]
1469[–70]. Kal. Jan.) (1 Jan.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 208.)	To Thomas Norwich, prior of Eic, O.S.B., in the diocese of Norwich. Dispensation at his recent petition (containing that the said priory (fn. 10) is, by reason of various misfortunes, and especially on account of floods, too heavily burdened to keep hospitality), to receive and retain in commendam for life together therewith any other benefice with or without cure wont to be held by secular clerks, even if it be a parish church or its perpetual vicarage, or a chantry, or a hospital, and be of any value, and to resign both, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleases, etc. Religionis etc. (Hug. and Ja.de Millinis. \| Hug. l. prothonot. Bisuntin.) [1²/3 pp.]
1469[–70]. 10 Kal. Feb. (23 Jan.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 217.)	To Donald Odwllayng, a Friar Minor. Dispensation at his recent petition (containing that he, the only son of his father, despising his paternal heritage, has entered the order of Friars Minors and made his profession; and adding that he greatly desires to be promoted to all orders and minister therein, even in the ministry of the altar, but that he has a blemish in his left eye, the result of an illness, not a visible deformity, although he can see but little with that eye), so that he (who is of noble birth and has studied philosophy and theology; whom the pope has caused to be diligently inspected by Peter, bishop of Tarazona (Tirasonen.), and who has been found fit by that bishop to be so dispensed) may be promoted to all holy, even priest's orders, and minister therein, even in the ministry of the altar, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Religionis etc. (Hug. and Ja. de Rizonibus. \| Hug. Gratis pro deo. prothonot.Bisuntin.) [1 p.]
1469[–70]. 8 Id. Feb. (6 Feb.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 218.)	To Robert Wetyng, a monk of the monastery of St. Mary, Thetford, O. Clun., in the diocese of Norwich. Dispensation to receive and retain for life any benefice with cure wont to be governed by secular clerks, even if it be a parish church or its perpetual vicarage, or a chantry, rectory, free chapel or hospital, or a benefice called an annual service or stipend, or be of lay patronage, and to resign, etc., as above, f. 95.Religionis etc. (F. and A. de Cortesiis. \| F. xxx. Sassen.) [1 p.]
Ibid. (f. 288)	To the prior of Holy Trinity in the diocese of London, and John Wardall, a canon of London. Mandate, as below. The [recent] petition of the abbot and convent of Stratford Langthorne, O. Cist., in the diocese of London, contained that the fruits etc. of the said monastery are so slight that the abbot and convent cannot easily maintain themselves and bear their burdens, but that if the parish church of Ilford Parva in the said diocese, which is by ancient custom in their presentation, and which is only a mile distant from the said monastery, were united and incorporated thereto in perpetuity they would gain some relief. The pope therefore hereby orders the above two to summon those interested, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to unite and incorporate in perpetuity the said church, value not exceeding 4l. sterling, to the said monastery, value not exceeding 800l. sterling, so that on the death or resignation of the present rector they may take possession by their own authority, and convent the fruits etc. to their own uses and those of the said monastery and church, without requiring licence of the diocesan, etc. In the event of their so doing, they are moreover to grant to the said abbot and convent faculty and licence to cause the said church to be served by one of their monks, appointed by them, who may exercise the cure of souls of the parishioners.

Dispensation to receive and retain for life any benefice with cure wont to be governed by secular clerks, even if it be a parish church or its perpetual vicarage, or a chantry, or an annual service, or a free chapel, or a hospital wont to be assigned to the same clerks as a title of a perpetual benefice, and to resign etc., as above, f. 95.Religionis etc. (P. and M. Amici. \| P. xxx. de Varris.)
1469. 13 Kal. Jan. (20 Dec.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 317.)	To the archdeacon of Derry (Deren.). Mandate, as below. The pope has been informed by John Odomhnaill, perpetual vicar of the parish church of Fathaynmura (fn. 11) in the diocese of Derry, that William Ohegytaich, abbot of the monastery of Cella nigra, Derry, O.S.A., has committed simony, and has alienated the goods [of the said monastery], of which things he is much defamed in those parts. The pope has also learned that the said John desires to dwell with the convent of the said monastery under the regular habit. He therefore orders the above archdeacon, if the said John (who is illegitimate, being the son of a priest [who was] archdeacon of Derry, and an unmarried woman, and descends from a race of kings and dukes, and who, notwithstanding the said defect, was lately dispensed by papal authority to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, in virtue of which he has been received by authority of the ordinary as a canon of Derry, and has obtained by canonical collation the said perpetual vicarage of Fathaynmura, value not exceeding 9 marks sterling, then void in a certain way), will accuse abbot William before the said archdeacon, to summon abbot William and others concerned, and if he find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove the said abbot, and in that event, and if he find the said John to be fit, to receive him as a canon of the said monastery and give him the said habit, or cause it to be given to him, and to receive his profession, and thereafter to make provision to him of the said monastery, value not exceeding 14 marks sterling. The pope hereby grants that he may be blessed by any catholic bishop of his choice in communion with the apostolic see, and furthermore dispenses him to be appointed to and to rule the said monastery, and to hold therewith in commendam for life the said vicarage; notwithstanding the said defect, etc. The said bishop, after having blessed him, is to receive from him the usual oath of fealty, according to the form enclosed, and is without delay to send it to the pope by his own envoy, by his letters patent, sealed with his seal; without prejudice to the bishop of Derry, to whom the said monastery is by ordinary right subject.
