The pope has been informed by Donald Omagna, clerk, of the diocese of Leighlin (Legonen.), that William Ogillyhenayn, perpetual vicar of Sennagnolyn in the diocese of Limerick, has alienated and dilapidated divers immoveables and precious moveables of the said vicarage, and committed simony, and that he has by his neglect allowed a certain man of his parishioners to die without the sacraments. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three, if Donald (who from fear of William's power cannot safely meet him within the city or diocese of Limerick) will accuse William before them, to summon the latter, and if they find the foregoing to be true, to deprive and remove him, and in that event to collate and assign the said vicarage, value 8 marks sterling, to Donald. Vite ac morum. (At the end: F. xv. Expedita Quartodecimo Kal. Febr. anno tertio. Sassenatensis.) [2 pp.]

Collation and provision to him, a continual member of the household (fn. 2) of Oliver, cardinal priest of St. Eusebius's, of the said vicarage, value 10l. sterling, void at the apostolic see, and therefore reserved, by the death there of James Inglis. Vite etc.

Mandate to collate and assign to Maurice Macgillauanach, clerk, of the diocese of Kilmacduagh (who was lately dispensed by papal authority on account of illegitimacy, as the son of a priest and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold two benefices, even if one had cure or were a canonry and prebend in a cathedral church, after which, having been made a clerk, he obtained the perpetual vicarage of Meagrayd in the diocese of Annaghdown (Enachdunen.) and a canonry and prebend of Kilmacduagh, both of which benefices he has resigned), the rectory de Fvoaymuor (recte Furanmuor) in the said diocese of Annaghdown, value 12 marks sterling, of the patronage of laymen, from which patronage the pope derogates for this turn only, (fn. 3) void by the death at the apostolic see of Denis Macgillauanach. The pope hereby specially dispenses him to receive and retain it, notwithstanding the said defect, etc. Vite etc. (At the end: P. xxii. Pridie Non. Novembris anno tertio. de Varris.) [1⁴/5 pp.]
7 Kal. Nov. (26 Oct.) St. Peter's, Rome. (f. 153r.)	To the bishop and the treasurer of Ardfert, and Thomas Johannis, a canon of the same. Mandate, as below. The pope has learned that Hubert Stondwen (?) (fn. 4) has resigned extra R.c. the perpetual vicarage of Ryndweri (fn. 5)alias Aglasnalanduy in the diocese of Ardfert, although Remundus Fismoris, clerk, of the said diocese, has, under pretext of certain surreptitious papal letters, intruded himself and detained possession for a year. The pope, therefore, hereby orders the above three to admit the said resignation by papal authority, if not already lawfully admitted, summon the said Hubert (recte Remundus) and others concerned, (fn. 5) and, removing [the said Remundus and] (fn. 6) any unlawful detainer, to collate and assign the said vicarage, with cure and value not exceeding 8 marks sterling, to David Fismoris, chancellor of Ardfert, who is illegitimate, being the son of a deacon and an unmarried woman, and who, after he had been made a clerk, was dispensed by the tenor of certain letters of Pius II, ordering provision to be made to him of the chancellorship of Ardfert, a non-major non-elective dignity with cure, to receive and retain it, or, if he resigned it, to receive and retain any other benefice, even if with cure, and be promoted to all, even holy orders; who was afterwards dispensed to receive and retain for life with the said chancellorship the rectory of the said church of Rindweri, (fn. 7) if collated to him in virtue of the same letters, or, without it, any other benefice, even if a dignity etc., and resign them, simply or for exchange, as often as he pleased, in virtue of which latter dispensation he holds the said chancellorship and rectory, their value not exceeding 12 marks sterling; and whose father was of a race of barons, wont to help the indigent and show hospitality to the poor.
