October 15, Sleaford

Mandate to the archbishop of York to compel the dean and chapter to fultil the order given to them by the pope in regard to Master Laurence de Sancto Nicolao, papal sub-deacon and chaplain, canon of York, whose prebend was not of any certain value or in any certain place, he having only his share of the common fund. Afterwards, because very few canons resided, it was ordered by the archbishop and the dean that the common fund should be divided equally among those who resided and attended choir offices, so that whatever prebend Master Laurence had, he would get only 6 marks a year; but if he resided, he would get a share of the common fund as well. Now, as the prebend he has is of such small comparative value, the church of Trokelinton has been added to it by the archbishop ; upon which the dean and chapter wish to take away the 6 marks. The pope now orders them to pay this amount, whether Laurence be absent or present, and, if he resides, to subtract nothing cf his share of the common fund. Indult to Master Reginald de Radenore, of legitimate birth, to hold an additional benefice with cure of souls. Indult to the arechdeacon of the Estriding, who has had to attend causes by papal commission for eight days at a time outside the diocese of York, that he shall not be summoned to attend outside the diocese or more than two days journey from his domicile.

(sic.) Mandate to the same to make provision of a prebendal benefice to Master Alexander Nolanus, to whom, in the presence of the 10d) late bishop of Norwich, the archbishop promised such a benefice, but not until Nicolas, nephew of the bishop of Ostia, has received a prebend.
