To the archbishop of York. Mandate to appropriate to the prior and friars of the Carmelite house of St. Michael by Kyngeston upon Hulle, in the diocese of York, the parish church of Hoggestorp, in the diocese of Lincoln. Their recent petition contained that Urban VI, on its being set forth to him that the house had formerly been built for a prior and twelve friars, but had not yet been sufficiently endowed, and that the patronage of the said church had been given to them by certain lay patrons for purpose of appropriation, commissioned the archbishop of York, without mention of his name, to make the appropriation for five years only; that Boniface IX, at their petition, ordered the archbishop of York, if he found the above to be true, to appropriate perpetually to the priory, value not exceeding 180
marks, the said church, value not exceeding 120, reserving a fit portion for a perpetual vicar, a secular [priest]; that Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury, then archbishop of York, carried out the appropriation ordered by pope Boniface, reserving such portion, and that the prior and friars, upon the free resignation of Eudo la Zouch, took possession and held it for some years; that the said appropriation became null by pope Boniface's general annulment on 11 Kal.

The pope orders the archbishop to appropriate the church to them in perpetuity, so that on the resignation or death of the present rector they may take possession, provided that the aforesaid portion be reserved, if not already done, for a perpetual vicar, who shall be a secular priest.

The pope therefore decrees that the grant shall take effect from the said date, as though the said letters had been drawn up, and orders the above bishop to carry it out. Racioni congruit. |
