The pope has learned that the perpetual vicarage of the parish church of Locluat alias de Stagno cinerum and that of Kyllomilcon, in the diocese of Clonmacnois, have been so long void that there is no certain knowledge of their last ways of voidance, and that by the Lateran statutes their collation has lapsed to the apostolic see, although Conchofinus Odullaynd, priest, has detained them for some years, and still detains them, under pretext of papal letters obtained by suppression of the truth, etc., and without any other title. And the recent petition of Bernard Ydullaind, a canon of Clonmacnois, contained that if the said vicarage of Kyllomilcon were erected for his lifetime into a prebend of the said church of Clonmacnois, in which there is no fixed number of canons, and if the said vicarage of Locluat alias de Stagno cinerum were united to such canonry and prebend for as long as he should hold them, it would be to the benefit of the said church of Clonmacnois and of the said Bernard. At the petition, therefore, of the said Bernard, who alleges that from time immemorial the said vicarages have been wont to be held by one man only, and that their combined fruits, etc., do not exceed a yearly value of 16 marks sterling, the pope hereby orders the above three to summon the said Conc[h]ofinus, etc., and also the chapter of Clonmacnois, and, if they find the facts to be as stated, to erect and unite, as above, and to collate and assign the said prebend thus to be erected, together with the said annexed vicarage, to the said Bernard, removing the said Conc[h]ofinus, etc. Apostolice sedis providentia circumspecta.

And the recent petition of Walter de Burgo, clerk, of the diocese of Annaghdown, contained that the fruits, etc., of the said canonry and prebend are very slight, and that if the said vicarage were united thereto for his lifetime he could, after provision of the said canonry and prebend had been made to him, more conveniently maintain himself with the fruits, etc., thereof and of the said vicarage. At the petition, therefore, of the said Walter, who alleges that the yearly values of the said vicarage and canonry and prebend do not exceed 6 marks and 1 mark sterling, respectively, and that he is by both parents of noble birth, the pope hereby orders the above canon to summon the said Rory and John, and if he find the facts to be as stated, and the said Walter to be fit, to collate and assign to him the said canonry and prebend, and to unite thereto the said vicarage for as long as he shall hold them, removing the said John and Rory, etc. Dignum et [sic] arbitramur et congruum.
