To Master John Gastow, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate as below. The recent petition of John Flemynger, priest, of the diocese of Cashel, contained that a cause lately arose between him and William Whyt, priest, of the said diocese, about the parish church of Cnokgraffan in the same diocese, John asserting that he received collation of it by authority of the ordinary on its voidance by its rector, William Whyt, obtaining by collation of the same authority the deanery of Wa [t] erford, a dignity, and that Whyt prevented his peaceable possession, Whyt asserting that the church lawfully belonged to him; and that the pope, at Fleminger's instance, has committed the cause, although not by its nature lawfully devolved to the Roman court, to the above auditor. Seeing that, as the petition added, some assert that neither has a right, the pope orders the auditor, if he find this to be the case, to collate and assign the church, value not exceeding 30 marks, however void, to Flemynger. Vite ac morum. (Pro Deo.) |

To the archbishop of York, the bishop of Tuy, and the dean of Wells. Mandate as below. The petition of John Pygot, who asserts that he is rector of Rosse in Holdernesse in the diocese of York, contained that he formerly obtained the said church by exchange with John de Newburg for that of Norton in the diocese of Lincoln, the exchange being carried out by John Burbache, canon of Lincoln, under special power from archbishop Richard and bishop John; that after he had held it for some time Robert de Solby, priest, of the diocese of York, claimed Rosse and despoiled him, and still detains it, and takes the fruits, wherefore Pygot appealed to the apostolic see; that the pope, at Pygot's instance, committed the appeal to Master Bertrand de Arnassano, Papal chaplain and auditor, who, at the instance of Master John Scriviani, Pygot's proctor, proceeded to cite Solby, and before whom appeared Scriviani and Master James de Subinago, substitiuted by Master John Abirford, Solby's proctor; that the pope committed the cause to Master Leonard de Sulmona, Papal chaplain and auditor, before whom appeared the said Masters Scriviani and Subinago, and who pronounced a definitive sentence, removing Solby and restoring Pygot, and condemning Solby in fruits received and costs; that Solby's appeal was committed by the pope to Master Jerome Sidenberg [written Seydenbergh on f. 84d.] papal chaplain and auditor, who confirmed Sulmona's sentence and declared Solby's appeal bad and condemned him in the further fruits and costs; that Solby's further appeal was committed by the pope to Nicholas [now] bishop of Ferentino, then papal chaplain and auditor, who confirmed Sidenberg's sentence, declared Solby's appeal bad, and condemned him in the further fruits and costs; and that the said three auditors taxed the costs at 70, 32 and 25 gold florins of the camera respectively. The pope therefore orders the above three to execute the aforesaid, restoring Pygot to possession and removing Solby, until the cause shall be finished, causing satisfaction to be made to Pygot for the said fruits and costs, proceeding against present or future intruders as if the above sentences had been delivered against them, and invoking, if necessary, the aid of the secular arm. Exhibita nobis. [4¾pp.] |

To the bishop of Tuy, and the chancellor and Thomas Wafre, canon, of Dublin. Mandate as below. The petition of Richard Caran, who asserts that he is archdeacon of Dublin, contained that a cause arose lately between him and William Chamber, clerk, of the diocese of London, about the said archdeaconry, which he obtained by papal authority and held peaceably for some time on its voidance by the resignation, made to the pope, of Landulph cardinal deacon of St. Nicholas's in Carcere Tulliano, and that Chamber has prevented his peaceable possession; that the pope at the instance of Chamber, who was then in the Roman court, committed the cause, notwithstanding that it did not by its nature lawfully devolve to the said court, to James, [now] bishop of Aquila, then papal chaplain and auditor, before whom appeared Master James de Subinago as Caran's proctor, and who, upon Chamber's absenting himself from the said court and not appearing upon citation, pronounced him contumacious and removed him, in so far as he could, from the archdeaconry and restored Caran, condemning Chamber in fruits received and costs, which latter he afterwards taxed at 25 gold florins of the camera. The pope therefore orders the above three to execute the aforesaid, restoring Caran to possession and removing Chamber, causing satisfaction to be made to Caran for the said fruits and costs, proceeding against present or future intruders as if the above sentence had been delivered against them, and invoking, if necessary, the aid of the secular arm.

To Master Bertrand de Castelliono, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate, at the recent petition of Nicholas Bubbewith, canon of York—containing that a cause lately arose between him and John Bremor, clerk, of the diocese of Salisbury, about the parish church of Clive in the diocese of Worcester, which, on its voidance by the death of Richard Felde, he obtained by authority of the ordinary, and his peaceable possession of which, held for some time, John opposed and hindered, and that the pope at John's instance committed the cause to Bertrand, archbishop of Amalfi, then holding, by the pope's order, the place of a papal auditor, and then to the above Master Bertrand, who has proceeded short of a conclusion; and adding that John proposes to resign the suit and all his right, if any—to receive John's resignation, to surrogate Nicholas to John's right, and to collate and assign to him the said church, value not exceeding 200 marks; notwithstanding that he holds with the said parish church, by papal grant and dispensation, the canonries and prebends of Driffeld in York, Ilton in Wells, Offeley in Lichfield, and Chermy[n] ster and Byre in Salisbury, canonries and certain prebends in London and Exeter, the canonries and prebends of Grinedale alias Skelotunn in Ripon and Heghes in the castle of Exeter, and the archdeaconry of Dorset in Salisbury, a dignity with cure, the value of all which does not exceed 1,200 marks.

(f. 228.) |
To Master Bertrand de Arnassano, papal chaplain and auditor. Mandate as below. It was lately set forth to the pope on behalf of John Ixworth, rector of Sevenok in the diocese of Rochester, that a cause arose lately between Nicholas Bubewith, canon of York, and Richard Conyngston, canon of Lichfield, about the canonry and prebend of Boole (sic) in York, provision of which, on their voidance by the death of John Danby, Nicholas caused to be made to him under certain papal letters, which provision Richard opposed, hindering it from taking effect, and taking possession; that the cause, lawfully introduced to the apostolic see, was, at the instance of Nicholas, committed by the pope to the above auditor; that while the suit was pending Nicholas obtained collation, by authority of the ordinary, of the canonry and prebend of Driffeld in the said church [of York]; and that the pope ordered the said auditor to surrogate Ixworth to the right which Nicholas had to the canonry and prebend of Bole, value not exceeding 60 marks, at the time of his obtaining Driffeld, and moreover to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend. Afterwards, as Ixworth's petition contained, the auditor did so surrogate. Seeing that, as the said petition added, while the said suit has been pending, Richard, being in possession of the canonry and prebend of Bole, has obtained, by authority of the said ordinary, another canonry of York and the prebend of Wilton therein, void by the death of John Scarle, whereby his right, if any, to Bole is void, the pope hereby orders the auditor to surrogate Ixworth to Richard's said right, and moreover to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend of Bole; notwithstanding that he holds together, by papal dispensation, the said parish church of Sevenok and that of Kokefelde in the diocese of Norwich, value together not exceeding 100 marks, and that the pope has recently granted him provision of canonries, with expectation of prebends, of Beverley and Southwell.

He doubts whether the said presentation and institution hold good. Dignum etc. |
