3 Id. July. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 212d.)	To the bishop of Rochester. Mandate, at the recent petition of John Stubcroft, perpetual vicar of SS. Peter and Paul's, Eylesford, in the diocese of Rochester—containing that contrary to the original foundation of the hospital of St. Mary of the New Work (Novi operis), Strode, in the said diocese, in which there is a society or fraternity, to which John belongs, and by whose brethren the said church has been wont to be governed, the late bishop Hamo ordained by his ordinary authority that he of the said brethren who should hold the said vicarage should be unable to exchange it for another benefice, and should take oath to that effect on being admitted; and that although, after the death of the said bishop, who also increased the number of the brethren in the said hospital but not its condition, the said ordinance was not observed, and was not approved by the apostolic see, the said vicarage being very often exchanged for other benefices by the brethren who held it, John nevertheless doubts whether he may lawfully do so without papal licence—if he find the facts to be as stated, to grant John licence to exchange the said vicarage for any other benefice with or without cure.

Humilibus supplicum.)
10 Kal. Oct. SS. Apostoli. Rome. (f. 217.)	To Thomas Lavenham alias Moriel, rector of Bedenham in the diocese of Lincoln, licentiate of canon law.

Non. Oct. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 252d.)	To the archbishop of York.

Humilibus supplicum.
15 Kal. Nov. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 255.)	To the bishop of Aiacen., (fn. 2) dwelling in the Roman court. Mandate as below. The recent petition of John Percy, subdean of Lincoln, bachelor of canon law, contained that one day he and three other English notables were assembled in a house in Rome (infra Urbem) for the purpose of settling a quarrel between two Englishmen and an Irishman, when they were assailed by three other Irishmen, whom they did not know, one of whom, a subdeacon, insultingly declared that he meant to avenge the arrest of a compatriot of his, and although warned to get out of the house, refused, rushed at John's servant and struck him with his fist. When, at the blow, the servant had begun to draw the knife which he was wearing at his side, John (who was then in priest's orders, and under a papal dispensation was holding together, as he still does, the subdeanery of Lincoln, which is a non-major dignity with cure, and the parish church of Querygtun in the diocese of Lincoln, and also the free chapel without cure of Blastun in the said diocese) fearing that his servant was in danger of death, came to his rescue and closed with the subdeacon (subdiaconum … ulnis complectens). Thereupon another Irishman, coming to the subdeacon's help, got John by the neck (collo dicti Johannis adherente) who, having the subdeacon in front and the said other Irishman behind him, saw no better way of saving himself than to wound the subdeacon on the shoulders (humeris), and to throw the other Irishman on the ground. So, without the least intention of killing the subdeacon, he wounded him on the shoulders with a small bread knife, whereupon the subdeacon and the other Irishman went away. On the fifth day after this the subdeacon died, for which John says that he is not otherwise guilty. The pope therefore orders the above bishop to absolve John from excommunication incurred, enjoining a salutary penance, rehabilitate him, and dispense him to minister in all holy orders as before, and to receive any benefices, of any number and kind, with or without cure, compatible with one another and with the said subdeanery and church, and to hold together such benefices and the said chapel, value not exceeding 3s. 4d. of English money, and, for as long as the aforesaid dispensation holds good, the said subdeanery and church, value not exceeding 50 and 8 marks sterling respectively. Sedes apostolica, pia mater.
2 Non. Nov. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 256.)	To John Hals the younger, clerk, of the diocese of Exeter. Dispensation to receive and hold, as soon as he attains his twenty-second year, any benefice with cure, even if a parish church etc. Vite etc.
8 Kal. Oct. SS. Apostoli Rome. (f. 257.)	To the archbishop of York. Mandate as below. The recent petition of Robert Semer, rector of the altar of St. Michael in the church of York, contained that the late Walter, archbishop of York, ordained with consent of the chapter that a priest, deputed by the chapter, should have under him, chosen by himself, two priests to celebrate divine offices perpetually at the said altar with the full ritual of the office for the dead (cum plenis exequiis mortuorum), so that after the celebration of a first mass early in the morning (prima matutino tempore celebrata two other masses should be said at convenient hours, all three being present at each of the said masses, as also at processions on double feasts and at matins in the choir, unless there were a canonical hindrance. [Cf. Raine. Hist. of the Church of York, III, pp. 153–154.] At the said Robert's petition—stating that the said burdens are too heavy to be borne by himself and the said other priests, and praying the pope to modify the said ordinance in such wise that he and the priests chosen by him may, not only at the said altar, but in any other fit place, celebrate the said divine offices with the full ritual as above (cum plenis exequiis supradictis), and may not be compelled to be present at each of the said masses—the pope. orders the archbishop to inform himself, and if he find the above to be true, to ordain as he shall think expedient. Humilibus et honestis.
8 Kal. Oct. SS. Apostoli, Rome. (f. 257.)	To the precentor of York. Mandate to grant licence to the warden, called master, and the clerks, perpetual beneficiaries, in the chapel of St. James, Sutton in Holdernes, situate within the bounds of the parish church of Waghen, in which chapel are buried a number of its founders, to have buried at the said chapel themselves and other faithful who wish, without requiring licence of any, and saving the rights of the said church. Sincere deuocionis affectus.
11 Kal. Nov. Lateran. (f. 257d.)	To William Bispham, clerk, of the diocese of York. Indult to continue his office of notary public, notwithstanding that after obtaining the said office by papal authority and exercising it for some time, he married twice, each time a virgin. Sincere deuocionis affectus.
9 Kal. Nov. Lateran. (f. 257d.)	To Richard Hyndelay, acolyte, of the diocese of York. Dispensation to him, who is in his nineteenth year only, and in minor orders, as soon as he attains his twenty-second year, provided that he has then been ordained subdeacon and deacon, to be promoted to priest's orders and minister therein. Sincere deuocionis affectus.
Ibid. (f. 273.)	To William Symond, rector of Mursley in the diocese of Lincoln, M.A. Prolongation as below. The pope lately dispensed him, then holding Mursley, to hold for five years therewith any other benefice with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if another parish church etc., and to resign both meanwhile, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, etc. as above, p. 280. At the recent petition of the said William, who is also a bachelor of canon law, and obtained after the said dispensation the parish church of Bukinhill in the said diocese, whose value together with that of Mursley does not exceed 40 marks, and at the petition of Humphrey duke of Gloucester, whose chaplain he is, the pope hereby prolongs by seven years the said period, which is about to end. Litterarum etc.
Ibid. (f. 304.)	To John Mayeu, rector of Yelvertoft in the diocese of Lincoln, bachelor of canon law. Prolongation as below. The pope formerly dispensed him, who is of noble birth and was then holding Yelvertoft, value not exceeding 60 marks, to receive and hold therewith for seven years any etc. as in the preceding. At his late petition, containing that he obtained the deanery of Blofeld and, resigning it after holding it for about four months with Yelvertoft, obtained the parish church of Abyndon alias Abyngdon, value not exceeding 30 marks, in the dioceses of Norwich and Lincoln, the pope [above, p. 153] prolonged the said seven years by five more, etc. At his recent petition, containing that the said period of five years is about to expire, the pope hereby prolongs it by a further five. Nobilitas generis, litterarum etc.
