De Exhibitis.



1402. 18 Kal. Sept. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 1.)	To the bishop of Tuy, the abbot of Westminster without the walls, London, and the dean of London. Mandate, as below. Lately Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury, as the pope has recently learned, made collation and provision to Robert Wytton, [now] canon of London, doctor of canon law, of the canonry and prebend of Twyforde alias Twyforth in London, so long void by the death of John Danby that their collation had lapsed to the see of Canterbury, although John Hyldiard alias Hylliard, clerk, of the diocese of York, unduly detained them. Afterwards the archbishop, upon John's opposing the said collation and provision, and preventing them from taking effect, gave commission, at Robert's instance, to Thomas Stowe, dean of London, and John Barnet, official of Canterbury, of whom the dean, proceeding alone, gave a definitive sentence in behalf of Robert, under which he obtained possession. Robert now doubts whether the said collation and provision hold good. The pope therefore orders, motu proprio, the above to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, still void, as above, value not exceeding 16 (sic) marks. Litterarum sciencia, vite etc. (De mandato.) [See Cal. Lett. IV, pp. 352, 383, 384, and below f. 114.]
4 Kal. Aug. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 6)	To the bishops of Rochester and Telese, and Nicholas Bubbewith, canon of York. Mandate as below. Walter Cook, canon of York, and Walter Medeforde exchanged the treasurership of London and the canonry and prebend of Faryngton in Salisbury, the exchange being carried out by bishops Robert and Richard. Cook doubts whether the collation and provision, under which he obtained possession, hold good, and whether the said canonry and prebend of Salisbury are not still void. The pope therefore orders, motu proprio, the above to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 80 marks. Vite ac morum. (De mandato.)
— (f. 91.)	To Master John Franceys, canon of York, bachelor of canon law, papal writer and member of the pope's household. Address, salutation and four and a half lines of preamble: Grata tue familiaritatis et dexocionis obsequia … que nobis impendere non desistis, necnon litterarum sciencia, vite ac morum honestas … aliaque merita quibus personam tuam juvari percepimus. [Cancelled with strokes, without note.]
16 Kal. Oct. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 113d.)	To the precentor and Edmund Fiz Adam, canon of Limerick, and James Ograda, official of Killaloe. Mandate to collate and assign to John Chanluayn (sic), priest, of the diocese of Limerick, the still void perpetual vicarage, value not exceeding 3 marks, of Ardkahny, in the said diocese, to which, on its voidance by the death of Thomas Ofieli, he was presented by its patron, Denis Ohachigerna, canon of Limerick, by virtue of which he obtained possession. He doubts whether the presentation holds good. Vite ac morum. (Pro Deo.)
2 Kal. Feb. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 114.)	To the bishops of London and Tuy, and the abbot of St. Alban's. Mandate to collate and assign the canonry and prebend of Twyforde in London, value not exceeding 20 (sic) marks, to John Hildiardis, clerk, of the diocese of York, whose recent petition contained that on their voidance by the death of John Danby he received collation and provision from bishop Robert, by his ordinary authority, under which he obtained peaceable possession. His petition adds that some doubt whether the said collation and provision hold good, and the canonry and prebend are, as the pope has learned, still void. The collation is to be made notwithstanding that he holds the canonry and prebend of Eldon in Aukeland, the hospitals of St. James, Alberton, and St. Giles by Richemunde, even if they be wont to be held by priests or conferred as titles, and have cure, and a prebend or portion in Darlyngton, in the dioceses of York and Durham, the value of all which does not exceed 100 marks. John, who is in minor orders only, is hereby dispensed not to be obliged, during the next five years, to be promoted to any holy orders by reason of the prebend of Twyforde, in case it be sacerdotal or require holy orders, or of other benefice with cure or requiring priest's or other holy orders. Vite etc. [See f. 1.]
10 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 128.)	To the bishop of Telese, the abbot of Westminster, and the dean of London. Mandate, motu proprio, to collate and assign to Nicholas Bubbewyth, canon of Chichester, secretary of king Henry, the still void canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 350 marks, of Chermeynstre and Biere in Salisbury, provision of which, as the pope has recently learned, he obtained, on their voidance by the death of John Boor, under letters of the present pope, by which he, holding canonries of Salisbury and Chichester, was expecting prebends. The pope has learned that some assert that the said provision does not hold good. Upon his obtaining them the said letters of expectation shall be null and void, as far as regards Salisbury only. Vite etc. (De mandato.)
10 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 130.)	To the bishops of Exeter and Telese, and the abbot of Westminster. Mandate, motu proprio, to collate and assign to Thomas More, canon of Lichfield, treasurer of the household of king Henry, the canonry and prebend, value not exceeding 300 marks, of Massham in York, provision of which, as the pope has recently learned, he obtained, on their voidance by the death of John Bor, under letters of the present pope by which he, holding canonries of York and Lichfield, was expecting prebends. The pope has, etc., as in the preceding, as far as the end, mutatis mutandis. Vite etc. (De mandato.)
4 Non. Sept. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 140d.)	To the bishop of Killaloe. Mandate to collate and assign to Maurice Ykinnaelaigh, priest, of the diocese of Ardfert, if found fit in Latin, the still void perpetual vicarage, value not exceeding 7 marks, of Achayghivalayn in the said diocese, possession of which he obtained by collation made under papal authority. He doubts whether the collation holds good. Dignum arbitramur.

De Regularibus.



2 Kal. July. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 175d.)	To the archbishop of Auch, the bishop of Dax, and the official of Bordeaux. Mandate, as below, at the petition of the prior and brethren of the Augustinian hospital of St. Mary, Roncevaux (de Ronsidevallis), in the diocese of Pampeluna, containing that although in the realm of England and divers other parts it has houses, possessions and members, from which they have been wont to receive yearly pensions, payment thereof is refused on the ground of a papal indult exempting from such payment during the Schism, because they are situate in lands of schismatics. Their petition adds that although they are so situate, they are faithful to the pope and the Roman church, and observe hospitality to the great multitude which resorts thither from divers parts. The pope therefore orders the above to order all, wherever and whoever they be, to pay arrears and to pay in future, under pain of excommunication, etc. invoking, if necessary, the aid of the secular arm. Exhibita nobis.
2 Id. Oct. St. Peter's. Rome. (f. 183.)	To John Usburn, Cistercian monk of Fountains, in the diocese of York. Licence to him, who is a deacon, without requiring licence of his superiors, to go to an university and study theology there for seven years, in order to take the mastership. Religionis zelus, vite etc.
9 Kal. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 185d.)	To John Bourne, a Friar Preacher. Indult to him—who formerly, fired with devotion, with licence of his superior and after long remaining in his order, had himself enclosed in a cell (reclusorium sire cellula) in the house of his order at Arundel in the diocese of Chichester, where he still is but where he cannot with a good conscience remain on account of the inconvenience of the place where the said cell is situate, as also of the penury under which the brethren of the said house labour—to transfer himself to another fit and honest place of the same or other order, mendicant or non-mendicant, with his clothes, books and other things conferred upon him as alms, and, under like enclosure, to remain there perpetually. Officii nostri debitum.
16 Kal. Sept. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 195.)	Confirmation, at the petition of the Augustinian prior and convent of Merton, in the diocese of Winchester, of the definitive sentence whereby John de Maydenhyth, dean of Chichester—acting as deputy of Thomas, prior of Southwyke, to whom, without mention of his name, the decision of their appeal to the apostolic see had been committed—restored them to their immemorial possession, of which they had been despoiled by John Wymbeldon, rector of Chalueldon, in the said diocese, of a third part of the tithes of corn and all the lesser tithes of the manor of Tolesworth in the said diocese. Ad fut. rei mem. Ea que de apostolice sedis.
	Concurrent mandate to the prior of St. Mary's, Overe, in the diocese of Winchester, and the deans of Chichester and Salisbury. Ea etc.
9. Kal. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 197.)	To the Benedictine prior and convent of the priory of the place of Bosgrave, Chichester. Faculty—upon their recent petition containing that according to the long observed custom of the Benedictine monastery of Essay (Lessy alias Exaquii) in Normandy, on which their priory depends, and of the priory itself, all postulants (monachandi) in the priory are presented to the abbot of the said monastery and there make their profession; and that upon the voidance of the priory the said abbot provides another prior and nominates his provisor to the lord of the place of Bossgrave (sic), which provisor, by the favour of the said lord, obtains possession and is by him presented to the ordinary; and adding that on account of the Schism and of the fact that the said monastery is in the power of schismatics and enemies of the realm of England, the said custom cannot conveniently be observed—during the said Schism and hostility, for such postulants to make their profession, not to the said abbot, but to the prior and his successors alone, and, upon voidance of the priory, for the convent [to choose] one of themselves or another of their order, who shall be nominated to the said lord, and by him be presented to the ordinary. Exigit restre devocionis.
