October 15, Sleaford

Mandate to Pandulph, bishop elect of Norwich, papal legate, on the intimation of the bishop of Winchester, to order that he and Geoffrey de Cautio, Robert de Clinthamp and John de Chin, his clerks and commensals, shall not be summoned by papal letters before any judge except the legate, they being constantly harassed by persons jealous of his fealty to the king, and brought by such letters before judges of whom they are suspicious, and in unsafe places, to the end that they may, through fear, leave their cause undefended, or be brought to a ruinous compromise. Letter of thanks to the king of France for having prolonged the truce with the king of England for four years beyond the term originally fixed. The pope begs him, since he will not himself swear to the truce, to take every precaution that it is kept, not doubting his sincerity, but to make him pay close attention to the terms. (Bouquet, xix. 684.] 3 HONORIUS IIT. 67 Indult to the bishop of Carlisle to revoke pensions in the churches of his diocese which have been created or increased contrary to the canons.
