July 1, Avignon
To the bishops of Winchester and Exeter. Mandate to collect the Holy Land tenth in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and to enforce payment of it at two given times. John, bishop of Norwich, John, bishop of Ely, Aymer de Valentia, earl of Pembroke, Bartholomew de Badelesmer, knight, and other envoys of king Edward, have informed the pope that the said king wishes to follow in his father's footsteps, and come to the rescue of the Holy Land. The tenth granted by Clement V. in the council of Vienne for six years has been collected in Eng- Jand, Wales, and Ireland for only one year, and by the present pope was suspended for three years, the collectors being now ordered to collect it for one year from next Michaelmas.
