Provision of a canonry of London, with reservation of a prebend. Concurrent mandate to the bishop of Worcester, William archdeacon of Gloucester, and another named. To Roger de Wingefeld. He, by a dispensation given by the abbot of Waltham, by papal faculty, at the request of Aymer de Valentia, earl of Pembroke, to two of his clerks to hold benefices to the amount of 200 marks, obtained the rectories of Wetheryngsete and Sutton, in the diocese of Norwich, in addition to that of Brynton, in the diocese of Lincoln. Roger when nominated was not a clerk of the said earl, and he received little from the two benefices, the bishop of Norwich claiming the first year's fruits. The taxed value of the three does not exceed 62/. 13s. 4d., but the true value exceeds 200 marks. Dispensation to retain the same. To Bertram de Verduno, successively rector of Boseworth, value 607. and of Lutterworth, value 20/. in the diocese of Lincoln. Dispensation to accept an additional benefice value 40 marks. Aug. To John, bishop of Lincoln. He having been excused by reason of his age from coming to the council, and it having been asserted that, as he could ride about in England, his not coming to the council was a piece of contumacy, for which he incurred ecclesiastical sentences, the pope declares that his absence is allowed for whatever cause, and that the said sentences do not affect him.
