7 Kal. May. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 220d.) |
To John Stafforde. Provision of the deanery of Ossory, a major dignity with cure, value not exceeding 40 marks, which became void and reserved to the pope, under his late reservation of all major dignities in cathedrals, void and to be void [Ottenthal, Reg. Canc. Apost., John XXIII, No. 3], by the resignation of William Lulyngton to bishop Thomas; and to which the chapter, perhaps in ignorance of the reservation, and in accordance with ancient and hitherto observed custom, elected him—who was likewise ignorant and who had obtained no other dispensation, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, than a previous papal dispensation to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he obtained and afterwards resigned the church of Huckote in the diocese of Lincoln—confirmation of which election he obtained from the ordinary. He has hereby the necessary dispensation. Vite ac morum. |
|
Concurrent mandate to the bishops of Volterra and Kildare and the prior of St. John's by Kilkenny in the diocese of Ossory. Vite etc. (De mandato.) |
1411. 3 Non. Sept. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 245d.) |
To the official of Elphin. Mandate to collate and assign to Odo Macdiarmada, clerk, of Elphin, of noble race—whom lately the ordinary dispensed, as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman related in the third and fourth degrees of affinity, to be promoted to minor orders and hold a benefice without cure, and who has studied canon law for about eight years in Ireland—the deanery of Elphin, a major dignity, value not exceeding 24 marks, void and, as in the preceding, reserved to the pope, by the death of Malachy Oflanagan. He is hereby dispensed to hold it and to be promoted to all, even holy orders.Dignum arbitramur. |
9 Kal. Nov. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 249d.) |
To Gilbert Okathaill. Provision to him, a priest, of the deanery of Kilfenora, a major dignity with cure, value not exceeding 10 marks, still void, as below, and therefore reserved to the pope under his above reservation of major cathedral dignities. Angelus Corario, called Gregory XII, ordered the treasurer of Meath (Minden.) and two others [not here named] to collate and assign to him the said deanery, whether void by the resignation of John Ywair to bishop Patrick—upon which he was elected by the chapter, in accordance with ancient and hitherto observed custom—or otherwise void, and dispensed him to hold together for life it and a certain perpetual portion, value not exceeding 1 mark, in the church of Elphin, provision of which he had by other letters ordered to be made to him. The said treasurer, proceeding alone, made collation and provision to him of the deanery (before the condemnation in the Council of Pisa of the said Angelus and of Peter de Luna, called Benedict XIII) by virtue of which he is still in possession, but Gilbert doubts whether for certain reasons the collation and provision hold good. Vite ac morum. |
|
Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Veszprém and the deans of Limerick and Ardfert. Vite etc. |
19 Kal. Jan. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 251d.) |
To Odo Olucheran. Provision to him—who lately received papal dispensation, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure, after which he was ordained priest and obtained from the ordinary the rectory of Domnachfyndra in the diocese of Clogher, value not exceeding 5 marks—of the deanery of Clogher, a major elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 14 marks, which became void and reserved to the pope, under his above general reservation, by the death of David Macconcabond. He is hereby dispensed to receive the deanery and hold it for life together with the said rectory.Vite etc. |
|
Concurrent mandate to the archbishop of Armagh, the bishop of Lucera (Lucerin.) and the abbot of SS. Peter and Paul's, Armagh. Vite etc. |
9 Kal. Nov. St. Peter's Rome. (f. 254.) |
To the archbishop of Tuam, the bishop of Veszprém and the provost of Tuam. Mandate to collate and assign to Carbricus Ofergail, clerk, of the diocese of Ardagh—who is by both parents of noble race, has studied canon law for about seven years in places where there is no university (in locis particularibus), and has lately had papal dispensation, as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman related in the fourth and fourth degrees of kindred, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure—the archdeaconry of Ardagh, a non-major, non-elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 10 marks, void by the resignation of William Yfergail. He has hereby the necessary dispensation. Vite etc. [See below, p. 266.] |
9 Kal. Jan. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 261.) |
To the prior of Glascarrig (Glassgarie) in the diocese of Ferns, and the archdeacon and John Occurryn, canon, of Leighlin. Mandate to collate and assign to Donald Mackatmail, clerk, of
the diocese of Dublin—who is skilled in canon law and has for more than fourteen years, by no fault of his own, been an exile from his own parts, and has had papal dispensation, as the son of an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold a benefice even with cure—the archdeaconry of Glendalacha in Dublin, a non-major dignity with cure, value not exceeding 40 marks, void by the simoniacal resignation of Maurice Obruyn before certain priests and other witnesses, there being in those parts no supply (copia) of public notaries; although Maurice, under pretext of certain letters surreptitiously obtained by him from the apostolic see, or another, unduly detains possession. As Donald fears the power of Maurice and other adversaries in the city and diocese, and has no hope of obtaining justice there, the pope orders the above three or one of them to summon Maurice and others concerned and if the archdeaconry be found to be void as stated, or in any other way, to make the collation to Donald, who has hereby the necessary dispensation. Litterarum sciencia, vite etc. [See below, pp. 252, 266, 267.] |
1412. Kal. April. St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 275.) |
To Nicholas Broune, B.C.L. Provision to him—who lately received papal dispensation to hold for seven years with his treasurership of Ferns, which is a non-major dignity with cure, value not exceeding 20 marks, any other benefice with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if a parish church or perpetual vicarage or a dignity, major or principal respectively, and elective, personatus or office, with or without cure, in a metropolitan, cathedral or collegiate church, and meanwhile to resign both, as often as he pleased, simply or for exchange—of the deanery of Ossory, a major elective dignity with cure, value not exceeding 60 marks, void and reserved to the pope by the promotion, made by Alexander V, who died without disposing of it, of Patrick, bishop of Cork, and by his consecration, performed by mandate of the present pope. Litterarum etc. |
