[May, 591. Gregorii I Papae registrum epistolarum, edited by Ewald and Hartmann, I, |

, pp. 61-69 (Book I, no. 42).}

Gregory to Peter, subdeacon of Sicily. a We have sent your messenger late, because we have not been in a posi-

tion to release him any sooner, on account of our occupation with the : celebration of Easter. How we have disposed of the questions, having

learn below. , , ,

examined them all minutely so far as you have set them forth, you may a We have learned that the rustics! of the church are burdened outrage-

ously with regard to the prices of grain, because the amount? fixed for , them in the contract is not observed in the time of plenty; and we will that the measure of the contract with them should be kept according to the public prices at all times, whether more or less grain grows. We will,

—_ moreover, that grain which is lost by shipwreck should be computed fully.? Nevertheless, do you not be careless about its shipment, lest, while a

will not stand the risks of transportation. , |

| 4 DOCUMENTS the time of shipment is neglected, damage should be caused by your fault.

| Moreover, we have seen it to be very unjust and wrong that, when something is taken from the rustics of the church for the pints* of grain due

| to the lord, they are compelled to give by a larger peck measure’ than is used in the granaries of the church. Consequently we command by the present warning that a peck of grain consisting of more than eighteen pints® ought never to be taken from rustics of the church, unless it hap-

pens by chance that the sailors, according to the custom, take more, _

, which they attest to be diminished on ships.’ | | , | | We have also learned that a most unjust exaction is made on some ——™ , estates® of the church, namely, that seventy-three and one-half are ex- , acted for the pound,°® which is to be called sinful. Nor is this all; but they ©

are said to have exacted something additional according to the custom _

| of many years. This we detest thoroughly, and we will that it be removed entirely from the patrimony. But your experience should assess, whether

in this or in other small burdens, what too much per pound and what beyond the justice of the account are received from the rustics, and bring

, them all within the amount of the rent,’® so that, according to the resources of the rustics, they may bear the whole as rent and pay a pound ,

: weighing seventy-two. And there ought to be exacted neither any farthings'! beyond the pound, nor a greater pound, nor charges above the greater pound, but according to your assessment there should be an increase in the amount of the rent in proportion as the resources suffice, and

, so a shameful exaction may never be made. Lest indeed these burdens, ,

| , which we have removed as additions to the rent and made to increase the

rent itself, should be added anywhere after my death, and it should be |

found that the rustics were compelled to pay the amount of the increased ‘rent and the additional burdens besides, we will that you make charters. of security concerning the rents, stating therein first how much rent each

, ought to pay and then the discarded small sums beyond the pound, bur| dens, or granary fees.!* Moreover, whatever accrued to the rector from these small payments, I will that from our present command it may come _

to your use from the total of the rent. } |

Before all else, we will that you attend to this carefully; that no un- ,

, | REVENUES 5 | ‘just weights should be used in collecting the rents. But if you find any _ such, break them and make new and correct ones, because my son, the , deacon Servus-dei, recently found such things, which displeased him. a But he had no license to change them. We will, therefore, that nothing be exacted from the coloni of the church above the just weight, excepting —

_ the payments in kind® and the fees paid to the overseers.!4 , Moreover, we have learned that the first levy of the civil tax strait- , ens our rustics severely, because they are compelled to pay the tribute | 7 - before they are able to sell [the fruits] of their labor. Wherefore, when | they have nothing of their own to give, they take loans from the collectors'® and pay heavy charges for the accommodation. From which cause

it follows that they are afflicted with heavy costs. Wherefore, we command, by the present admonition, that everything which they have been |

able to secure from outsiders as a loan for this purpose shall be paid in , public by your experience, and shall be recovered from the rustics of

- the church a little at a time, as they shall have the means, lest in the _ period when they are hard pressed, what afterwards would suffice for

them to make payment, they should sell disadvantageously under com- ee

pulsion and fail to have enough for the granaries. a ,

, It has become known to us also, that immoderate fees are collected for a the marriages of the rustics. Concerning these, we order that no fee for

| nuptials shall exceed the sum of one solidus. If any are poor, they ought : , to give even less; if any are rich, however, the aforesaid amount of one solidus shall not be exceeded. That marriage-fee we do not wish to have , included in our account, but to be utilized for the profit of the farmers.2”

, We have also learned that when some farmers die, their relatives are , not allowed to become their heirs, but their goods are seized for the use

of the church. Concerning this we decree that the relatives of deceased , persons who live on the possessions of the church ought to follow as the

heirs of the deceased, nor should anything be seized from the property of the deceased. If, indeed, any one shall have left young children, pru-

dent persons should be chosen, to whom the possessions of the parents | ought to be delivered for guardianship, until the children arrive at such _ |

an age that they can manage their property for themselves. © ,

, We have also learned that, if any one of a family shall have com- , : mitted a crime, it is avenged not upon him but upon his property. Concerning this we command that, whoever shall have committed a crime,

, it shall be avenged upon him, as is fitting. Moreover, no fine shall be — taken from him, except possibly some little thing which can be of advan-

| tage for the use of the official who shall have been sent tohim. , 138 Hecepta. 4 Vilicilia. 15 Burdatio. 16 A ctionarit. 17 Conductores.

6 DOCUMENTS , We have also learned that when a farmer shall have taken something , from his colonus unjustly, the same thing is exacted from the farmer, but

_ it isnot returned to him from whom it was seized. Concerning which we |

command that whatever shall have been seized by violence from any member of the household, be restored to the one from whom it was taken and be not turned to our profit, lest we should seem to the promoter of

| Especially, we will that when any who are in the obedience of your experience are sent outside the patrimony in any causes, they may take some small payments from those to whom they are sent, but in such a way, nevertheless, that their own advantage is served; because we do

not wish the purse of the church to be contaminated by foul gains. | We order, also, that your experience take the greatest care that farmers on the estates of the church may never be appointed for a consideration,

_ lest, while the consideration is sought, the farmers should change frequently. From which changing what else could happen other than that | the ecclesiastical estates never would be cultivated. But let fees for the - contracts!8 be charged, just as the sum of the rent shall have been. We will that you do not any longer receive little things and provisions from the estates of the church, except as far as it is the custom. Your supplies,

| which we have ordered to be furnished, should be provided by outsiders. , ‘We have been informed that three pounds of gold have been taken unjustly from Peter, the farmer of Subpatriana. Concerning which case do you inquire thoroughly of Fantinus, the defensor, and, if they have

obviously been taken unjustly and without sufficient right, do you

restore without any delay. |

_ We have learned also that the rustics have given again the tax due the civil authority,!® which, when previously exacted from them, Theodosius had not paid,”° so that they have been taxed twice. This was done because the property of Theodosius did not suffice to meet his debt to the church.

_ But because we have been informed by our son, Servus-dei, the deacon, that it is possible to repair the injury sufficiently from Theodosius’ prop-

erty, we will that 507 solidi be restored to the rustics without any dimi- | nution, lest they may appear to have been taxed twice. If, moreover, forty solidi above the indemnity of the rustics remain from the things of Theodosius, which you say you also have, we will that they be given to his daughter, because she ought to receive his things, which he had 18 Tibellatica. 19 Burdatio. 20 That is, Theodosius, the farmer, had collected from the rustics, but had not paid to the public officials. They consequently collected the tax again from the rustics.

We give thanks, moreover, to your solicitude, because I have com- | . manded you concerning the cause of my brother that you ought to send , back his silver, and yet you have consigned it to oblivion, as if something

had been said to you by an utter slave. But now, indeed, may your

negligence and not your experience be zealous to execute. And what- | , ever of his you know to have been with Antoninus, do you send back ,

with all speed. , | , _

_ Concerning the cause of Salpingus the Jew, a letter has been found | : which we have caused to be sent to you, so that, reading it again and , taking thorough cognizance of his cause and that of a certain widow, who is said to be involved in this business, do you make answer concern- , ing the fifty-one solidi which are known to have been returned, as shall seem just to you, in such a way that you may be the creditor of another’s

-, One-half property by no injustice. ; | | of the legacy of Antoninus has been given to his [relatives], one-half is still due. Which half we will to be fulfilled to them from the

common property, and not only to them but also to the defensors and

| foreigners to whom something was bequeathed by the terms of the | legacy; and we will that the legacy of the family be paid, which neverthe-

| less pertains to us. After the account for our part, namely for nine ounces,

_ has been collected, do you make payment.

Concerning the money of the church of Canusina we will that you give | something to the clergy of that church, so that they who now suffer want

may have some sustenance, and that, if God shall have willed a bishop _ to have been ordained therein, he may have the wherewithal to subsist.

| We will that you watch concerning sins of priests and deacons and any | other of the clergy, lest you mingle in their things with any contamina- | - tion. But seek for the poorest regular monasteries, which know how to

8 , DOCUMENTS live according to God, and consign those who have lapsed to penance in

those monasteries, and let the property of the lapsed be contributed to | that place to which they are consigned to do penance, in order that they __ may have help from the property of the lapsed, who bear the care of their

, correction. If, however, they have relatives, their property may be given : to their legitimate relatives, provided that the salary of those who shall

have been committed to penance be sufficiently looked after. If, in-

, deed, priests or deacons or monks or clerks or any others of the ecclesiastical household shall have sinned, we will penance to be prescribed for them, but their property should not be removed from ecclesiastical ownership. Nevertheless, they may receive for their use the wherewithal for

: _ subsistence during penance, lest, if they are given naked, they should be ~

| burdensome to the places to which they have been consigned. If any have relatives, their property is to be surrendered to them, in order that —

it may be preserved among them for the ownership of the church. _ , Three years ago the subdeacons of all the churches of Sicily were forbidden, according to the custom of the Roman church, to have intercourse

with their wives. It seems to me hard and inappropriate that he who is not accustomed to the practice of continence, nor previously has promised chastity, should be compelled to be separated from his wife, and,

, because of what he lacks, should fall into something worse. Whence, it seems to be that all bishops should be told now, that they should presume | to make none a subdeacon except him who shall have promised to live

| chastely, in order that things which have not been desired with deliberate intention in the past may not be exacted violently, and may be secured | in the future with caution. Those, indeed, who have lived continently

, with their wives since this prohibition, which was made three years ago, | are to be praised and rewarded and exhorted that they should continue in their well-doing. Those, however, who, since the prohibition was made,

have not wished to keep from their wives, we do not wish to attain holy orders, because none ought to undertake the ministry of the altar, unless his chastity shall have been proved before the ministry is undertaken.

We will that an annuity for Liberatus, the merchant, who has com- — , mended himself to the church and lives on the estate Cinciana shall be provided by you. Do you estimate what the sum of that annuity ought

, to be, so that the amount declared can be charged to usin your accounts. _ For the present indiction, indeed, he has collected recently from our |

son, Servus-dei, the deacon. | | |

, John, a certain monk who died, made Fantinus, the defensor, his heir | to the amount of six ounces. Surrender to him what has been bequeathed

REVENUES | Oo. to him, but protest lest he presume to claim more. But fix what he shall

, receive for his labor, in order that his labor shall not be without reward. ] , And let him remember that he who lives on a salary from the church does

not strive for his own gain. If anything shall have come to the church | without sin, without the lust of covetousness, through those who administer the business of the church, it is fitting that they shall not be unrewarded for their labor. But it should be reserved to our judgment how

they ought to be rewarded. | , | Canvass thoroughly the cause concerning the money of Rusticianus :

and do whatever seems just to you. Admonish the noble man, Alexander, that he ought to settle his cause with holy church. But if he shall have neglected to do it by chance, do you prosecute the case with fear of God,

‘maintaining honesty as you can. In which thing also we will that you shall concede something, and, if it can be done, what is to be given to | others, he shall be relieved from, provided that cause which he has with

us shall be terminated. | , | , Restore without any delay the donation of the nun who has sinned and

, has been committed to the monastery of Monosteum, so that the place , which bears the labors of her care may, as I have said above, have the

_ income of her property. And whatever part of her property may be held

by others, recover it and deliver it to the aforesaid monastery. , ,

_- The rents of the hospital of Via Nova, to the amount you have indicated to me, send to us, since you have them in your possession. Confer upon the actionarius whom you have appointed in the same patrimony | whatever seems good to you. — : Concerning the nun who was with Theodosius, Extranea by name, it.

- seems to me you should provide her an annuity, if you deem it wise, or at least return the gift which she made. The home of the monastery, which Antoninus took away from the monastery after he had given thirty

| solidi, do you restore without any delay, when the thirty solidi have been taken back. After you have sought thoroughly for the truth, do you restore the vases which I have sent back by the bearer of the present.

, If Saturninus is free and not employed with you, send him to us. , _ Felix, farmer of the lady of Campana, whom she had left free and whom she had ordered to be without examination, said that 72 solidi had been

levied upon him by Maximus, subdeacon, for what he declared to have :

been given, because all the things which he had in Sicily he either sold , or pledged. But the advocates said it could not be without examination,

because of frauds. Yet, while he was returning to us from Campania, he 7 died in a storm which occurred. We will that you seek his wife and chil- _ -

| Ke) DOCUMENTS | | dren, and, whatever he had pledged or sold you, release the pledged and

restore the price of the sold, and especially provide maintenance for

them, because Maximus had sent him into Sicily and there took away :

| from him what he stated. Find out, therefore, what was levied and | restore it without any delay to his wife and children. — , Do you despatch all these things zealously and put aside entirely that _

| friend of yours, negligence. My writings, which I have directed to the | rustics, do you cause to be despatched throughout all the estates, so that

| _ they may know how they ought to defend themselves against violence,

| on our authority, and let there be given to them the originals or copies of them. See that you keep everything without diminution, because I am absolved of these things for the promoting of justice in which I am

writing to you, and you, if you are negligent, will be responsible. Consider the terrible judge who is coming, and let your thought of his

| approach arouse your fear, lest you fear with good reason at the time when

heaven and earth shall have trembled before him. | | You have heard what I will; see that you do it. | | IQI. THE LEASE OF A PAPAL FARM

Whereas, we stand obliged to all sons of the holy church on account of

the authority and benevolence of the apostolic see, nevertheless, for , , those places and persons which are known to belong specially to the proprietorship and protection of the apostolic see, it is fitting for us to

| strive eagerly with the more favorable zeal of affection and to provide with paternal solicitude lest they be disturbed by the molestations of wicked men. Therefore, moved favorably by the prayers of the beloved son in the Lord, the Abbot Peter, our venerable brother, Henry, bishop of Winchester, legate of the apostolic see, and our beloved son, King | Stephen, we consent calmly to your just requests, and, following in the | , footsteps of our predecessor, Pope Sergius of good memory, we decree, and strengthen by the privilege of the present writing, that the monastery of Malmesbury, which is known to have been founded in honor

a of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul and now to be rebuilt in honor of the blessed mother of God and always virgin Mary and of St. Aldhelm the

You shall, moreover, receive the chrism, holy oil, consecrations of altars or churches, ordinations of monks or clerks who should be promoted

to holy orders, benediction of the abbot, etc., ecclesiastical sacraments _ from the diocesan bishop, provided he should be a catholic, and should © have the grace and communion of the apostolic see, and should be willing

of any. , , any of your successors, die, none may be appointed there by any cunning OS

of deception or by violence, but the brothers may be allowed by common

| counsel, or by the wiser counsel of a group, according to the fear of God and the rule of St. Benedict, to elect an abbot without the contradiction

| We also forbid that any bishop be allowed to set up an episcopal see

in that monastery, or to celebrate public masses, unless he shall have been ,

| summoned by the abbot and brothers. , We decree, therefore, that it may not be permissible for the bishop or _

_ for any other man whatever to dare to disturb the aforesaid convent, or | to take away its possessions, or to retain those taken away, or to diminish, :

[In a trial held before Henry II of England and the great council the bishop of Lincoln contested the exemptions from episcopal jurisdiction _ claimed by the abbot and convent of St. Albans on the basis of royal charters

and papal privileges. In the course of the proceedings the king examined the documents produced by the abbot.|

When they came to the privileges of the Roman pontiffs, and the king heard that the privilege of Calixtus, in which all things given by the kings

of England to St. Albans both in vills and in liberties were confirmed,

| REVENUES 33 , had been granted at the petition of his grandfather, he said again: ‘“‘Whatever was done in the kingdom at my grandfather’s petition has such , force that it cannot be annuled for any reason.”’ But when he heard the privilege of Pope Celestine, moved about that article in which it is said

that an ounce of gold is to be paid each year to the highest pontiff for a : census®’ he said: ‘In this article, lord abbot, there is a derogation to our dignity; for it was not allowed to you to make my church tributary to

{1192 [with additions of later date]. Le Liber censuum de Véglise romaine, edited by

. Fabre and Duchesne, I, 1-10, 223-224.] _ ,

Here begins the book of the census of the Roman church, compiled by Cencius, camerarius, according to the registers and divers memoranda

of the ancient fathers, in the year of the incarnation of the Lord 1192, in , the second year of the pontificate of Pope Celestine ITT.

, I, Cencius, camerarius, formerly of Pope Clement III of happy memory, now indeed of Lord Pope Celestine III, canon of Santa Maria Mag-

| - giore of the City, explain briefly and clearly why it should be necessary to reorganize the book of the census of the Roman church, which was organized by certain others in times past: because, since first Eugenius of happy memory, and Pope Adrian his successor, and certain others subsequently admitted among the writings concerning the census certain incomplete memoranda, writings neither authenticated or arranged, and

, their followers or successors could not be informed fully through those memoranda what churches or monasteries, hospitals or alms-houses (which are known** to be nearly the same), also what cities, castles, vills or

special houses, or what kings and princes, are payers of census, because they remain in the right and ownership® of St. Peter and the holy Roman |

| church, or how much they ought to pay, that Roman church was incurring a large damage and loss. Seeing which, and seeing myself to be able , easily to provide remedy for this damage, and recognizing that my person was reared, advanced in all things and made from earliest childhood by

the holy Roman church, and moved by anxious and vigorous thought, I have made known to the best of my ability, as will be noted below, _

, that census, as I have found it in cartularies and volumes of registers of _ ancient and recent popes of the Roman church, and in volumes of cer-

. 88a Dinoscitur. 89 In jus et proprietatem. , a

| | REVENUES 35 tain other books or reliable memoranda, though I have not published all

payments established originally in certain kingdoms, provinces, dioceses

and places by the earliest holy fathers. I set forth in this volume new ; payments of census, which were established, or in the future should be | fixed, by the Roman church in my time, by this means providing mate-_ , rials for all my successors, so that, in the future to the end of the world,

- just as I have made to be written by my most beloved William Rofio, , of Saint-Jean-d’Angély in Poitou, clerk of the camera and writer of the. _lord pope’s chancery, they also may cause to be noted those payments of census which may be newly established in their times in the same vol-

ume, arranged, as I think, with sufficient spaces. Thus, if at any time

the payments of census owed by some have not been sent to the apostolic see by their own messengers, as often happens, the one who at that time shall rule as pope of the Roman church, after it shall be made known to , , him by his camerarius, who receives the census, that from such he has |

had the census and from such he has not received it, the names having , a _ been suitably compiled, he can seek by his legate or nuncio, or by any other specially designated for the purpose, those payments of census

| from those who have not paid, without the scruple of a doubt; for some a are so remote from the holy Roman church that they cannot possibly |

The king of kings and lord of rulers, Jesus Christ, an eternal priest

according to the order-of Melchizedek, so stabilized royalty and the | _ priesthood in the church that royalty should be priestly and the priest-

hood should be royal, as Peter in the epistle and Moses in the law give | , evidence; placing in authority over all, one whom he ordained his vicar , on earth, so that, as he prevails over all things of the heavens, the earth and even the lower regions, so all may obey and bend to that vicar, in

order that there may be one fold and one shepherd. | Hence, therefore, secular kings are venerated, indeed, on account of God, so that they are not thought to rule rightly unless they are zealous

to serve him devotedly. Which you, dearest son, observing prudently, | with that one in whose hand are the hearts of kings mercifully inspiring, in what he willed, turned yourself toward these things. You have decreed 98 Later both of these documents were repeated in a more formal manner, but the :

Oo hood are united to the great convenience and increase of each. | , He is by all means worthy to be honored in this way, who, since he is alpha and omega, returned the end to the beginning and prolonged the

beginning to the end, so that those provinces which formerly had the sacrosanct Roman church as their magistrate in spiritualities, now have it _

, also as special lord in temporalities. :

You, moreover, whom God chose as a suitable servant for this purpose, have granted both yourself and also your kingdoms, namely of England

and Ireland, with all their right and appurtenances, with devout and

| spontaneous will, and with the common counsel of your barons, to God | and his holy apostles Peter and Paul, and to the holy Roman church, and , , to us and our successors, in right and ownership, offering under an annual census of 1,000 marks, as is contained in your authentic writing, of which

after the invention of the holy cross, in the fortieth year of the reign of King Edward, to maintain both the estate of holy church and the rights of his realm and crown, there were shown among other things, as was

| to do homage to him, in perpetuity, for the realm of England and the , the land of Ireland, and, because of the said homage, to pay to him an annual census, intended to make process against the king for the purpose |

of recovering the said services and census; which thing was shown to the , prelates, dukes, earls, barons and the commons in order to have their

advice and counsel on it; and they were asked what the king should do about it, in case the pope should wish to procede or attempt anything. against him or his realm for this cause. Which prelates, dukes, earls, _ barons and commons, having had full deliberation about it, answer and

without their assent, and ran counter to his oath at his coronation. Furthermore, the dukes, earls, barons, great men and commons accord and grant that, in case the pope should make an effort or attempt by any process or by any other manner of action to constrain the king or his sub-

It is just and fair that, just as we conserve your rights for you, you should conserve our rights for us, so that, according to the evangelical sentence, with what measure we have measured it should be meted also unto us. Since, therefore, Peter’s pence is collected faithfully in England,

but, having been collected for our need, is paid to us faithlessly, we | ~ wish both to provide for the safety of the collectors, lest on account of — this fraud they should incur the peril of their souls, and to care for the

, Roman church so that damage may be avoided through the solicitude of _ our venerable brother Peter, bishop of Winchester, to whom we have committed this business, of whom we have full confidence, to whom we , have given our letters in mandate that he should cause that census to be collected diligently each year and to be assigned to him faithfully for

, our work, so that it may be rendered to us by him in full; opponents, if | | indeed there should be any, or rebels he may compel by ecclesiastical censure, with appeal removed. Wherefore, ordering your university by apostolic writings, we command that, exerting yourselves humbly and

: devoutly concerning this for that bishop, you yourselves keep what he may decree about this for the advantage of the apostolic see and cause to be observed inviolably by your subordinates, and receive kindly his nuncios whom he may cause to be sent to you on account of this, making them also to be received by your subordinates, lest, if perchance you

By the complaint of all the earls, barons, knights and others of our

— tions, not only to the great harm of laymen but also to the intolerable , expense of our whole kingdom. We, although we wish to submit to the will of our father, Lord Pope Innocent, on account of the honor of our

faith and the due reverence which we are held to devote to the holy — | Roman church, nevertheless cannot fail to give heed as is necessary to the , complaints of our faithful and to the clamors of our subjects and to their fears of damage to themselves, and, as is fitting, we seek to counteract

__-with speed and diligence causes arising which can remove the security of , | the peace and unity of our kingdom. We therefore command you abso-

lutely and forbid expressly, on the faith by which you are bound to us, Oo

, that you hold any council by any authority about the aforesaid or any , other things, or decree anything new contrary to the custom of our kingdom, but, as you respect us and our honor and the common tranquility _of the kingdom, you at present postpone the celebration of that council and the aforesaid agenda until we have had a conference with your university

about this, knowing certainly that it will be expedient for the honor of

the holy Roman church and for the lord pope and for us and for you that |

censure with appeal postponed. ,

| [27 December 1199. Chronica M agistri Rogeri de Houedene, edited by Stubbs, IV,

, 108-112.] '

Bishop Innocent, servant of the servants of God, to all prelates of the holy mother church to whom the present letters may come, greeting and

apostolic benediction. OO

For the exigencies of our sins we are now compelled to deplore rather than to announce the serious miseries and urgent necessities of the eastern land; since it is necessary to aid that state, if indeed the misfortune which we tell with grief can be called a state, and to oppose the efforts of the pagans. Few Christians who devoted themselves to the defense of the

heritage of the Lord and to the service of the crucified are believed to have drunk the hostile arrows by the spilling of their blood and to have suffered the swords of the pagans at their throats. The remainders of the _

desolation of that land are lost without hope of human aid and wholly | occupied by enemies, since from those parts nearly all pilgrims have now returned. Previously, indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ mercifully hindered

it, in order that he might prove our faith more strongly and learn who are | his, turning their hands against themselves and allowing them in their | many discords to rage against each other, so that, the Christians meanwhile having been aroused to the aid of that land, means should: be given of recovering more easily the things lost and of triumphing over

the enemies. Oo

For we have received the letters of our venerable brothers, the patriarchs of Antioch and Jerusalem, and of the archbishops and bishops of each province, and likewise of our dearest sons in Christ, Aimeric and Leo, ;

, illustrious kings of Jerusalem and Armenia, and of the beloved sons, the masters of the hospital of Jerusalem and of the knighthood of the Temple,

and of many others, setting forth more fully the miseries and needs of that land, and demanding the aid long expected; since it is hoped there that, God willing, a few will accomplish more at this time, on account | of the dissensions of the Saracens, than previously a large army accomplished. It was also added that, since the Saracens treat of peace among themselves, if peace should be concluded among them before the province of Jerusalem is aided, there will not be any who can resist their violence,

| unless God alone resists, since it isnearly destitute of men and resources: We, therefore, treating concerning the aid of that land with our broth-

| REVENUES 83 ers and with the bishops and other religious men staying at the holy

_ you to laymen, after the example of him who began to do and to teach, | _ we have taken care to appoint a tenth part of all our rents and revenues | |

_ for the aid of the eastern province, not subtracting a moderate part for , our necessities, for which, since they are heavier than usual, and on this , account require heavier expenditures, our resources are not sufficient;

so that, even if we give to him nothing of our own, at least we restore a ~ , moderate part of his, who in his mercy gave.to us all things. And in order. Oo that, not only in things but also in persons, we may send necessary aid

to the Holy Land, we have proposed to send thither our beloved sons, , Stephen, cardinal priest of the title of Santa Prassedeand Peter, cardinal deacon of Santa Maria in Via Lata, legates of the apostolic see, on whom

we have already placed the sign of the cross, who, for doing things in our |

- Because we think that moderate, too moderate, indeed, to be at all _ sufficient for the many needs of that province, we command your university by apostolic writings, and, on the part of omnipotent God in virtue

of the Holy Spirit, under threat of divine judgment, strictly order that , each of you convert to the aid of the Holy Land a fortieth part of all his _ ecclesiastical rents and revenues, with the previous deduction of interest, _ the payment of which cannot be avoided. To all clerks, both subordinates

and prelates, who pay that fortieth part willingly and faithfully, we, by |

the mercy of almighty God, confident in the authority of the holy apostles, Peter and Paul, relax a fourth part of the penance enjoined upon a them, provided no fraud is present and pious devotion is aided. Know, moreover, that he is faulty and hard and obdurately culpable who shall refuse to pay so small a subsidy in so great a need to his creator and re-

deemer, from whom he receives body and soul and all goods which he has; | | and we, who, though unworthy, exercise the power of that onein the world, can in no wise conceal the hardness of such a fault. Do not believe by any

means that we intend by this to impose a law upon you at your expense,

so that a fortieth may be required of you in the future as due and accustomed; indeed, we will nothing to be created to your prejudice from this, , | we who grieve that a thing of so great need has come to us and you, and |

hope that a similar thing may not happen in the future. |

| 84 DOCUMENTS | We will also, and order and command you, that you, brother archbishops and bishops, take care to convene without delay in the metro- | | politan church, or, if this cannot be done there on account of hostility or other evident hindrance, in two or three places of your province, and

, treat among you, according to the form of the apostolic mandate, con: cerning the aid of that land; and, after his return, each of you shall convoke a synod in his diocese without delay, commanding, by our | authority, abbots and priors, both exempt and others, archdeacons , and deans, and all clerks whatever established in your diocese to assess their revenues and rents according to just estimation, and within three months after the fact is announced to them not to delay to consign the

| fortieth part of their value to some suitable place in that diocese, under _ the witness of that bishop and of some religious men, some faithful and

, discreet laymen having been added for protection. And that we order you, brother archbishops and bishops, to do under the same stricture. From this generality, moreover, we except the Cistercian monks, the Premon- __ stratensian canons the Grandmontine hermits and the Carthusians, on whom we have enjoined a special mandate about this. Furthermore, we

, do not wish that those who have taken care to estimate their rents and , , revenues carefully should incur the transgression of the said penalty, nor those who by chance subtracted from the fortieth not intentionally but rather from ignorance, provided that, after they have recognized their fault, that they have paid too little, they pay in full. If, however, any one, which God forbid, should intentionally withhold anything from the payment of the fortieth, when he shall have given suitable satis-

| faction, he shall be forthwith immune from the debt of that transgression. Nor let any wonder, nor even be moved, that we command this under such great strictness, because the highest necessity demands it. For,

: although obedience to the divine rule ought to be a pleasure, nevertheless we read in the Gospel concerning those invited to the wedding, that God commanded that they should be compelled to enter. _ We command, moreover, that you, brother archbishops and bishops,

| cause that fortieth exacted and collected faithfully according to the

aforesaid form throughout your dioceses to be deposited in a safe place. _ Make known to us the sum of all by your letters and special messengers

as quickly as it can be done. ,

For this we order a hollow chest, fastened with three keys, to be placed

, in each church, the first key to be kept with the bishop, the second with the priest of the church, the third with some religious layman; and in it each of the faithful, as the Lord shall inspire his mind, may be moved to

sung publicly once a week for the remission of sins, and especially of those

Moreover, we grant to you, brother archbishops and bishops, that for

those who may wish to aid the Holy Land from their goods you can, with the counsel of discreet men, when the quality of the persons and the extent of their resources have been weighed and also the strength of the devotion

_ has been considered, convert the burden of enjoined penance into the oe burden of giving alms.

We will further that, having joined with yourselves, where they could — |

be found, two brothers, one of the hospital of Jerusalem and the other of Cc the knighthood of the Temple, and also other religious laymen, you aid

} with suitable stipends from that sum discreet knights or other warriors | who have assumed the sign of the cross, if they have not been able to cross _ | at their own expense, having received from them a sufficient guarantee that they will remain in the defense of the eastern land for a year or more

, according to the amount of the subsidy, and if, which God forbid, they should withdraw on the way, they will not convert the subsidy recetved —s_—© ,

to other uses, but pay it rather as stipends of warriors; who, also, when | they should return may not be released from the given guarantee before

they have shown you letters of the king, or patriarch, or master of the | hospital of Jerusalem or of the knights of the Temple, or even of our legate,

giving testimony concerning their stay. - |

- Because, indeed, highest necessity exacts and common utility requires that the Christian people should aid without delay against the pagan in-

, vasion of the Holy Land, not only in things but also in persons, we com- | mand your fraternity by apostolic writings that you hasten prudently

and diligently to exhort and induce the faithful, by yourselves and other , suitable men, that those who should be available for fighting God’s war assume the sign of the cross in the name of the Lord of Sabaoth; others, indeed, according to their available resources that they give pious alms.

For we, by the mercy of God, and trusting in the authority of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, from that power of binding and loosing

which God conferred upon us, though unworthy, grant to all who undergo | the labor of this journey in their own persons and expenditures full pardon

of their sins, concerning which they have done penance with their mouths | )

and hearts, and promise them the reward of eternal salvation as the re| ward of the just. To those, moreover, who do not go thither in their own | persons, but only send suitable men to remain there for a year at least , at their expense, according to their rank and resources, and likewise to

: 86 DOCUMENTS. , , those who fulfill the labor of the undertaken journey in their own persons

, at the expense of others, we grant full pardon of their sins. We will also to be sharers of this remission, according to the amount of aid and the

| , depth of devotion all who shall minister suitably to the aid of that land | from their own goods. Further, we take under the protection of St. Peter. and ourself, from the time they take the cross, their persons and goods;

, and let them be as well under the protection of all archbishops and prelates of the church of God, decreeing that until it shall be known most certainly of their death or return, they may remain entire and be quiet. But if any one should act to the contrary, let him be compelled by ecclesiastical _

| censure, with appeal removed. | | |

If, indeed, any of those departing thither are held bound by oath to

paying usury, do you, brother archbishops and bishops, force their credi-

tors throughout your dioceses with the same coercive measure, with the obstacle of appeal taken away, that, absolving them from the oath forthwith, they desist from the exaction of further usury. But if any creditor should force them to the payment of usury, do you force him by

| a similar measure of coercion to the restitution of it, with appeal removed. Jews, indeed, we order to be compelled by the secular power to remit

, usuries to them; and, until they shall have remitted them, we order all , - communion to be denied them by Christ’s faithful by sentence of ex, communication, both in merchandises and in other things. Moreover, we will and command you, brother archbishops and bishops, to be executors of these things, each in his own diocese; which you are to

execute so faithfully and diligently that in the strict examination of the _

' Jast judgment, when you will stand before the tribunal of Christ, you

may be able to render a satisfactory account. oe

THE CLERGY TO PAY A TWENTIETH FOR THREE YEARS IN AID OF

_ Aspiring ,with ardent desire, to liberate the Holy Land from the hands of. the impious, with the counsel of prudent men who were thoroughly familiar with the circumstances of times and places, with approval of the

| sacred council, we decree that the crossed so prepare themselves that all who have arranged to cross the sea shall assemble on the kalends of _ , June following after the next in the kingdom of Sicily, others, as is fitting —

REVENUES | 87 : and right, at Brindisi, and others at Messina, and in the environs of each;

where we also have prepared, the Lord aiding, then to be present per- | sonally, in order that the Christian army may be ordered advantageously

with our advice and help, and depart with the divine and apostolic

blessing. At that time, also, let those who have proposed to set out for , the land, be zealous to prepare, and let them meanwhile signify this to us, that we may grant to them a suitable legate from our side for counsel ,

and help. Let priests and other clerks, both subjects and prelates, who | | may be in the Christian army, apply themselves diligently to preaching

_ and exhortation, setting forth to them, by word and likewise by example, | that they should always have before their eyes the divine fear and love, _ lest they should say or do what would offend the divine majesty. And, | if they should lapse into sin at all, let them raise themselves quickly again ,

by true penitence, assuming humility of heart and body, let them follow . ‘moderation both in food and clothing, let them avoid entirely discussions , | and jealousies, with rancor and envy forthwith put behind them, in order

that, so strengthened by spiritual and material arms, they may fight more , safely against the enemies of the faith, not presumptuous of their own

ability but hopeful of divine strength. ,

| We indulge those clerks, moreover, that they may collect their bene- _ fices in full for three years, as if they were resident in the churches; and, if it should be necessary, they may mortgage those benefices for the same

time. , | - ,

Moreover, lest this holy project may happen to be hindered or

delayed, we strictly command all prelates of churches that each in his

locality diligently warn and persuade those who have prepared to re‘sume the sign of the cross, and both those and others marked with the

cross and whom he previously should have happened tomark,torender sy

their vows to God; and, if it should be necessary, compel them, with all | evasion ceasing, by sentences of excommunication against their persons . and of interdict against their lands. Only those are excepted, to whom

the apostolic see, their vow ought deservedly to be commuted or post- | | For these purposes, lest any contingencies be omitted in the business of Jesus Christ, we will and command that patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, abbots and others who have cure of souls set forth zealously the word of the cross committed to them; beseeching, by the Father, and - the Son and the Holy Ghost, the one and only true, eternal God, kings, dukes, princes, margraves, counts and barons and other magnates, as well | |

88 DOCUMENTS | | | , as communities of cities, vills, towns, that those who do not depart personally should give in aid of the Holy Land a competent number of | | soldiers, with the expenses necessary for three years, according to their |

letters, and for greater safety is also expressed below. , , _ We will to be sharers of this remission, not only those who shall supply their own ships, but also those who, on account of this work, shall have

been zealous in the building of ships. ,

_ They are, moreover, to declare firmly, on behalf of the apostolic [see], to those who decline (if by chance there should be any so ungrateful to the Lord, our God) that they should know themselves to answer in the. future for this to us in the presence of the last terrible judgment of God’s strict examination; first considering, nevertheless, with what conscience _ or security they could appear before the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ, to whom the Father gave control of all things, if, in return for sins, they should refuse to serve the crucified one in this affair so peculiarly his own, by whose protection they live, by whose bounty they are

, sustained, yea, even by whose blood they are redeemed. | | Lest, however, we seem to place on the shoulders of men severe and _ unbearable burdens, for which we do not wish to lift our finger, like those who only talk, but do nothing, behold, we grant and give to this work 30,000 pounds which we have been able to save over and above necessi-

' ties and moderate expenses, in addition to the ships which we give to the crusaders from the City and neighboring parts; for which we shall soon assign no less than 3,000 marks of silver, which remained to us from the

| alms of certain of the faithful; the remainder having been distributed — faithfully by the hand of Alberic, patriarch of Jerusalem of happy memory, and of the masters of the Temple and the Hospital, for the needs and use

of the aforesaid land. |

oo _ Desiring, moreover, other prelates of churches, as well as all clerks to be sharers and companions both in the merit and in the reward, with the _ general approval of the council, we have decreed that all clerks, subjects

| } as well as prelates, should give in aid of the Holy Land a twentieth part of ecclesiastical revenues for three years, by the hands of those who have | been ordained for this purpose by apostolic wisdom; certain religious only

, excepted, who deservedly are to be exempt from this decree,!” and simi7 - tarly those who, with the sign of the cross assumed or to be assumed, are to set forth personally. We, moreover, and our brothers, the cardinals of the holy Roman church, shall pay a tenth in full. And let all know

, 132 Pyaetaxatione. , |

REVENUES 89 oo themselves obliged to the faithful observation of this by sentence of excommunication, so that they who shall have knowingly committed fraud _ about this shall incur the sentence of excommunication.

Moreover, because, by just judgment, those engaged particularly | closely in the services of the heavenly emperor ought to enjoy privileges, .

crusaders, when the time of the journey exceeds at least a year, are immune from tributes, from tallages and from other burdens; whose per- _ :

sons and goods we take under the protection of St. Peterand ourself, after , _ the cross has been assumed, decreeing that they be under the protection , , of archbishops, bishops and.all prelates of the church no less than under

their own protectors to be specially appointed for this purpose; so that, until it shall be known most certainly of their death or return, their things remain intact and undisturbed; and if any venture to act to the contrary, let him be constrained by ecclesiastical censure.

If, moreover, any of those departing thither are held bound by oath — -. to paying interest, we order their creditors to be compelled by the same , penalty that they remit to them the oath sworn and desist from the

exaction of usury. But if any of the creditors should force them to pay __ ,

_ interest, we order him to be forced to restore it by a similar censure.

_ Furthermore, we order Jews to be compelled by the secular power to , remit usury and, until they have remitted it, communication should be denied to them completely by all those faithful to Christ through sen-

tence of excommunication. To those, moreover, who ought to pay debts to the Jews at present, secular princes should provide suitable _ - postponement, so that, after the beginning of the journey until it shall be

known most certainly concerning their death or return, they should not , ; incur the inconvenience of usury, the Jews having been compelled to , compute in full'®* the returns from pledges, which they have collected - meanwhile, with necessary expenses deducted; since this benefit, which so postpones the payment but does not eat up the debt, would appear not

Holy Land by taking and spoiling those crossing to it and returning from it, we bind with the chain of excommunication their special helpers and patrons, forbidding, under the threat of anathema, that any one wittingly _ should communicate with them in any contract of sale or purchase, and

90 DOCUMENTS a enjoining the rectors of their cities and places that they recall and force

: them from this iniquity. Otherwise, because unwillingness to disturb the - perverse is nothing other than fostering them, nor is he who ceases to eliminate manifest iniquity free from the doubt of a secret association, _ we will and command ecclesiastical severity to be employed by the prelates of churches against their persons and lands.

Particularly we excommunicate and anathematize those false and impious Christians, who, against Christ himself and the Christian people,

convey to the Saracens arms, iron and wood for galleys. Also we decree those who sell to them galleys or ships, and those who act as pilots on the piratical ships of the Saracens, or give to them any aid or counsel in machines or in any other things to the damage of the Holy Land to be punished by deprivation of their property and to become the servants of those taking them; commanding that through all maritime cities, on Sundays and holidays, this sentence shall be renewed; and to such the bosom of the church shall not be open, unless all which they have received

- of such damnable property and as much of their own should be converted to the aid of the aforesaid land, so that they may be punished with judgment equal to that in which they have been delinquent. But if, by chance, they should not pay, the guilt of such should be otherwise so chastised. that by their penalty the similar boldness of presumption in others would

be checked. | |

We especially prohibit and interdict, under pain of anathema, to all Christians that for four years they send across their ships or go across to

| the lands of the Saracens who dwell in eastern parts, in order that by this means a larger force of ships may be prepared to take across to the aid

| of the Holy Land those wishing to go, and the great aid which is accus-

| away from them. a |

- tomed to issue forth from this to the aforesaid Saracens may be taken Moreover, although tournaments have been forbidden in divers councils under certain penalty generally enjoined, nevertheless, because the business of the cross is hindered greatly at this time by them, we strictly forbid them to be held for three years under penalty of excommunication. Because, indeed, it is above all necessary for carrying out this affair, that princes of the Christian people should mutually observe peace, the

, holy universal synod recommending, we have decreed that peace shall be observed generally throughout the whole Christian world for at least four years; or that those in discord. shall be reduced by the prelates of

_ churches to observe inviolably complete peace or a strong truce, and those who should disdain to comply shall be compelled strongly by

REVENUES | QI excommunication against persons and interdict against lands, unless the ~ ,

evil of their injuries shall have been so great that they ought not toenjoy __ ,

such peace. But if, by chance, they should despise the ecclesiastical _ censure, they might deservedly fear lest the secular power should be in-

voked, by authority of the church, against them as disturbers of the busi- | ness of the cross.

| We, therefore, confident in the mercy of omnipotent God and in the , authority of the apostles Peter and Paul, from that power of binding and

loosing which God gave to us, though unworthy, grant to all who undergo a labor in their own persons and at their own expense full pardon for their

gins, for which they are truly contrite in heart and orally confessed, and : promise an increase of eternal salvation in repayment of the just. Toall __

those, moreover, who shall not go thither in their own persons, but shall | send suitable men at their sole expense, according to their resources and rank, and to those likewise, who shall go in their own persons but at the

expense of others, we grant full pardon of their sins. We also will and grant to be sharers of this remission, according to the quality of the aid

and the state of devotion, all who shall minister suitably from their _ |

to their salvation. ;

has been miserably confused, not being able to veil further the wicked design, afterward publicly set forth innumerable lies of frauds against the Roman church, inflaming himself entirely to its persecution. While he believes that if he can oppress it in any way, there is not a place where the

| general church may exist, but he may subject the whole of it to his harsh rule, averring to himself that whatever of liberty, whatever of honor the bride of Christ possesses has disappered. Hence, since he and his neither fear God nor fear ecclesiastical censure, they are not hindered from occupying the patrimony of St. Peter with tyrannical cruelty, where, cer-

tain castles having been invaded and our faithful impiously killed by Saracens, they rage with unsated malice for the occupation of the remaining parts. We, seeing clearly that, unless their boldness is checked, they will not cease to rage with wildness, undertake to exercise temporal power for recovering invaded lands and averting injuries, or rather for

| relieving oppressed churches and protecting ecclesiastical liberty, many armies having been collected for this purpose under large stipends, because things are not to be spared where the whole church is attacked so vehemently. Since, indeed, the aforesaid army cannot be retained without a profusion of expenses, we ask affectionately, warn carefully and, ordering you strictly by apostolic writings, command your discretion, of which we have full faith in the Lord, that in this case of necessity, in which the cause not only of the Roman church but of the whole universal church

is involved, you give liberally and freely to us the aid of a suitable subsidy by giving to us with spontaneous free will the tenth of all your rents and revenues; so that, supported by your subsidy and those of others, _ God willing, we may so far repress the opposing pride that others will

aid given, may render you more dear to be embraced in the heart of

Christ. For we have caused to be sent to you for this purpose the beloved son Stephen, our chaplain, dear to us and to our brothers, and con- cerning whose prudence and sincerity we have full faith, from whom you may learn more fully concerning these things... .. 1

| Bishop Innocent, servant of the servants of God, to the dearest son in Christ, the illustrious king of England, greeting and apostolic blessing. We rejoice in the Lord, commending your pious proposal with deserved praise, because, as we learned recently from your letters and nuncios, you,

fired with the zeal of faith and devotion for aiding the Holy Land, prepare yourself, as befits your highness, magnificently and powerfully. Since it requires great expenditures for prosecuting that business, you |

have sought at other times and now to have granted to you by us the tenth of the ecclesiastical revenues of your kingdom and of other lands

, which are subject to your jurisdiction. | , ,

_ _ of the affair and the piety of your proposal, they would grant your de-

to supply you abundantly for such business from the ecclesiastical reve-

, For, know, dearest son, that, since mother church is supported in these two kingdoms, in which, by the grace of God, the Christian profession flourishes, if their kings, by reason of that pious work leave it so established in exile, it is nothing less than exposing it to the pillaging and plundering -

of enemies and being unconcerned about the catholic faith, which is : | shaken this side of the sea. , - Wherefore, since that king would cross the sea with all his brothers, it would be inhuman and alien to filial sweetness, if you, to whom alone it is left, should abandon it being driven hither and thither among storms. _

know immediately what would be expedient for Christianity and what ,

for you and your kingdom, your honor and safety. | , However, because, whatever you shall have resolved about these | _ things, expenses are necessary for carrying it out, and holy mother church

ought to foster praiseworthily with watchful counsel and with what aid | is possible the proposal of the royal magnificance, we have caused to be _

: coming into our presence as representatives of that king, took care to propose that the | aforesaid king desires, with strong wishes, to protect and defend the churches and ecclesiastical persons of his kingdom and lands, so in their rights, privileges and im-

munities as from injuries and violence, so that they can attend to divine things and display their service peacefully to the most high; and, with the right hand of the king of kings assisting him, to rule throughout the aforesaid lands and kingdom so praiseworthily, that in them uprightness may continue steadfastly safe among the wicked. But, because the aforesaid king, indeed, the malice of many making necessary, was occupied in the beginning of his reign, and even before, with wars and various other disturbances, which, in order that he might reduce the aforesaid kingdom toa peaceful

| state, made it necessary for him to expose himself to various perils and to submit to innumerable issues of expenses, with the result that not only was his treasury emptied, but also he had to undertake great and insupportable burdens of debt. And , since he cannot fulfill the premises properly without the help of the holy mother church, __ as the aforesaid nuncios stated to us, they humbly petitioned us in behalf of that king, that, turning our consideration to the aforesaid things, as well as to the deep desire,

a which the same king feels, of pleasing us and the church, we deign to open to him the breast of our benevolence in a matter of so great necessity.

| We, pondering the premises carefully, although we sympathize with the aforesaid | king in his deep feelings over these things, considering, nevertheless, the numerous burdens of expenses with which the Roman church stands heavily burdened and _ weighed down continuously beyond its strength, on account of the raging violence and increasing boldness of its heretics and schismatics and rebels, who have presumed .

| and still presume in parts of Italy incessantly to attack and disturb that church cruelly . and fiercely, and to attack the catholic faith perilously beyond measure, as well as - weighing with diligent meditation the grave perils to which the said church and the © catholic faith would be subjected, if they should remain undefended (which may the highest avert), on account of a lack of the expenditures, for providing which the revenues of our camera are too slim, we desire, divine grace assisting us, to provide , that which is advised in some measure for the necessities of each, namely, of that church about its aforesaid burdens and of the aforesaid king that he may be able more suitably to fulfill his desire, assuredly acceptable to God, about those things which the

aforesaid nuncios proposed. | ,

Therefore, diligent deliberation having been had with our brothers about these _

| things, with the counsel of the said brothers, by apostolic authority, through our letters, we have caused to be imposed a tenth of all of your and other ecclesiastical

. revenues and receipts existing in the aforesaid kingdom of England and lands and © parts of Wales and Ireland, through four years to be counted subsequently from the present festival of the resurrection of the Lord, to be exacted, according to the accus- , tomed mode, from you and each and every ecclesiastical person, exempt and non-exempt,

of the kingdom and those lands and parts, except from the beloved sons, the master

, | REVENUES 107 , and brothers of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, who expose themselves and their _ , possessions continually against the enemies of the Christian faith, wherefore we wish them, on account of this, to be exempt and immune from the payment of this tenth; willing and ordaining that that tenth be divided equally in each year between us and

, church, as is contained below. : , , the said king, for relieving more beneficially our and his necessities and those of that . |

, We will, also, that the aforesaid tenth shall be collected and exacted by you and

the other archbishops and bishops of the aforesaid kingdom, lands and parts, in your | respective cities.and dioceses, from the persons and places of those cities and dioceses,

in two terms in each year of the period of four years, namely, for the half at the festival | of the nativity of St. John the Baptist, and for the other half at the festival of St. Martin

next following thereafter, which we have fixed and also assigned to you and those ,

persons for paying the aforesaid tenth, by these, our letters, and shall be paid care- — , 7 fully by you from your receipts and revenues, according to the observed custom; and | when it should have been collected by you at each term [and] should have been paid ,

from your receipts and revenues, as is set forth, it ought to be assigned in full by you | , and each of you, at the abovesaid terms, to him or them whom we may appoint for re- , ceiving it from you. Those who are appointed by us, in the manner set forth, for this

purpose, shall provide, indeed, for the retention of half of this tenth for us and the same | , , church, to be converted to the relief of our and its burdens, and for the assignment of the other half to the aforesaid king, or at his certain command. Moreover, we have caused the sentence of excommunication to be promulgated against each and all, of whatever preéminence, dignity or state they may be, who receive anything from the

money of the said tenth in any other manner. - _ , : We will, moreover, that through yourselves and the deputy collectors to be ap- pointed by you in your respective cities and dioceses you compel the exempt and non-

exempt ecclesiastical persons of your cities and dioceses, though without prejudice otherwise to exempt persons and exempt places, to pay the aforesaid tenth, at the : times written below, by ecclesiastical censure and sequestration of the fruits of their benefices existing in your cities and dioceses, invoking for this purpose, if and when it | : should be necessary and not otherwise, the aid of the secular arm, with appeal put aside. | _ . And do you take care similarly to pay this tenth from your ecclesiastical receipts and revenues at those times; otherwise, if you fail in making the payment of this kind at the aforesaid times, we will you to incur 7pso facto the sentences which may happen to be published by you or your deputy collectors to be appointed in your cities and dioceses, -. as is set forth; from which, after satisfaction has been given therein in full, you may | be able to obtain the benefit of absolution through one of the neighboring bishops not. — bound by similar sentences and having the grace and communion of the apostolic see.

And in order that there may not be any delay concerning the money in which the , payment of the said tenth should be made, and ought to be made, and that the grievances which ecclesiastical persons have suffered acutely on account of such things may

be avoided, it is our intention that.the aforesaid tenth be levied and also exacted in

the current money, in accordance with the constitution decreed about this at the , council of Vienne, so that debtors and payers of the said tenth may not be burdened _ in any wise by the pretext of another exchange. | Moreover, you and each of you in your respective cities and dioceses, as well as

other exempt and non-exempt ecclesiastical persons of the said cities and dioceses, are ,

bound to make payment of this tenth with the said money current in those cities and |

108 DOCUMENTS , dioceses, according to the valuation previously observed in those cities and dioceses; _

} or, where there should be no definite valuation of this sort, according to the custom. , previously observed in an exaction and payment of this sort; and the aforesaid payment ought to be made without any other burden to those from whom that tenth may be exacted, unless, by chance, expenses ought to be incurred on account of their failure of payment; in which case we will them to be bound and held to their restitution. And [it is our intention] that, according to the constitution of the said council, chalices, books and other ecclesiastical ornaments appointed for divine offices should, - on no account, be taken by reason of the said tenth, because of a pledge, or for other

| causes. ,

But do you use ecclesiastical censure, as is said, against the contumacious and the rebels of your cities and dioceses, about the payment of the said tenth at the aforesaid , terms; and, nevertheless, you can summon to the Roman court those who by chance render themselves manifestly and maliciously rebellious and contumacious toward you in this matter, and assign to them a certain peremptory term at which they should present themselves personally to the apostolic vision to receive and do and answer about these things according to merits, as justice shall dictate. Nevertheless, do you - let us know the day of such citation and of the fixture of the abovesaid term by your

letters and your own messengers. | ,

| Wherefore, we command your fraternity, by apostolic writings, in virtue of obed, - jence, that you, and each of you, whom we appoint, by the tenor of the present, col: lectors of the aforesaid tenth in your respective cities and dioceses, exact and collect that tenth from all exempt and non-exempt ecclesiastical persons of those cities and dioceses by yourselves and your deputy collectors to be appointed by you about these things.

And do you assign that tenth, after it shall have been collected and paid at each of those terms to the one or ones whom we shall appoint to receive it from you, as is above expressed. And, nevertheless, you may compel, through yourselves and your deputy collectors, in your respective cities and dioceses, any opponents and rebels, exempt and non-exempt, to the payment of that tenth, as well as proceed against the contumacious with citation, as is set forth above. We will that you, and each of you, if you should fail in making the

| Know that we have received, with that reverence which is fitting, letters of the most

holy father and our lord, Lord John XXII, pope by divine providence, with a hempen , thread, sealed with a bull after the custom of the Roman court, not vitiated, not cancelled, not suspected in any part, devoid of all defect and suspicion, directed to us,

| of which the tenor is such: |

, Bishop John, servant of the servants of God, etc., as in the first bull up to the words: we have caused , sentence of excommunication to be promulgated;'4" afterwards, having appointed you, by our other letters, for receiving that tenth from those archbishops and bishops, as is contained more fully in those letters.

Moreover, because the first term set for the payment of the abovesaid tenth, at the next future festival | of St. John the Baptist, is known to draw nigh, our letters drawn up about its imposition and collection not _-yet having been published in that kingdom and those parts, we, wishing to save the aforesaid prelates and ecclesiastical.persons from the burdens to which they might, perhaps, be subjected, if they should be forced

to pay the half of that tenth on such short notice, grant to your discretion, by the tenor of the present, . full power of proroguing the. aforesaid term to the next festival of St. Michael, the Archangel; elsewhere

and otherwise, nevertheless, our aforesaid letters are to retain their force. __ Given at Avignon, the nones of June, in the fourteenth year of our pontificate.!48

Bishop Boniface, servant of the servants of God, to the venerable

| brothers John, archbishop of Prague, and John, archbishop of Gnesen, and their suffragans, greeting and apostolic benediction. As a result of sins the ill-will of the time arises in these days, iniquity | is multiplied, ambition becomes strong, boldness roams about, and perils

, are prepared everywhere; and so the mad presumption and unbridled madness of certain damned has swelled up, with the result that it has occupied with impious enterprises many of the cities, lands and places

subject immediately to the Roman church, and also a large part of the ; kingdom of Sicily and of the land this side of the strait, which are of the oo right and ownership of that church, and it detains the occupied districts, |

and it struggles to extend violent hands to the more remote parts. | On account of which we, who by divine arrangement have universal _ care over the flock of the Lord, and are held by the duty of the pastoral |

office, and as far, namely, as divine goodness shall favor us, wish not Se only to preserve the faithful and devout from oppressions but also to re-

sist the enterprises of these criminals, and to check them, and to be able | to destroy [them] wholly, lest purity be trod down by malice and justice | _ _-_-by iniquity and charity by ambition, and lest boldness dominate modesty, |

and in order that the forseen perils may be less injurious. a Since, therefore, we must of inevitable necessity submit to great bur-

_° dens of expenses on account of these things, for supporting which the © oe apostolic camera, exhausted by the flow of innumerable other expenditures, cannot suitably suffice, after diligent deliberation was had over

these things, we have imposed by the apostolic authority, and by the — present impose, a tenth of all ecclesiastical receipts and revenues exist-

ing in your cities and dioceses, to be paid, exacted, and collected and ,

116 DOCUMENTS ~ converted to the relief of the said burdens for two years from the next kalends of January and following continuously, at the below-written |

terms in each year of the said two years, from yourselves, as wellasfrom , all and each of the prelates and ecclesiastical persons, secular and regular, exempt and non-exempt, having and within the said two years to have _

such receipts and revenues in the said cities and dioceses, of whatever preéminence, dignity, state, grade, religion, order or condition they may , _ be; for whom or for any of whom we will no privileges or indulgences granted under any form or expression of words to be supported with respect to this, except for our venerable brothers, cardinals of the holy Roman church, having and meanwhile to have such receipts and revenues in those cities, dioceses and provinces, who share with us assiduously, with tireless labors, the tasks of the universal church, as well as for the beloved sons, the masters, priors, preceptors and brothers of the hospitals

| of St. John of Jerusalem and St. Mary of the Teutons, who expose themselves and their possessions continually against the enemies of the Chris- _

tian faith; which cardinals, masters, priors, preceptors and brothers we 7

will to be immune and exempt from payment of this tenth. . | We will, moreover, that this tenth be collected and also exacted without any injury and oppression from only those receipts and revenues by you, each of whom we have appointed, and, by the tenor of the present, appoint collector of that tenth in his own diocese and city of the abovesaid cities and dioceses, and by your deputy collectors, clerks whom you shall appoint for this, from yourselves as well as from those prelates and

, ecclesiastical persons, secular and regular, exempt and non-exempt, hav-

, ing and within two years to have such receipts and revenues, as is set forth, in the abovesaid cities and dioceses, except from the said cardinals, masters, priors, preceptors and brothers, so that the power of compulsion

, is not extended by you and your deputy collectors to receipts and revenues existing outside your own cities and dioceses aforesaid. For we have decreed and will the first term of payment of half of the tenth of the first year of the said two to be the next festival of the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ; the second term, indeed, of the payment of the other half of that tenth of the said first year at the festival of All

Souls following next thereafter; in the following second year the same

terms are to be observed. , |

Finally, we will that the exaction of this tenth be made according to the mode, manner and custom observed in those parts, in the payment of such a tenth, and without any trouble to those from whom this tenth is exacted. And lest there might be delay with regard to the money in

, REVENUES | | 117 which the payment of the said tenth is made and ought to be made, and grievances may be avoided which previously, on account of this, ecclesiastical men have borne, we will that that tenth be levied and also exacted

by you and the aforesaid deputy collectors in the money commonly current in the aforesaid cities and dioceses, and may be paid to each of

you or to the aforesaid deputy collectors receiving in the name of the aforesaid camera according to the constitution published about this in

the council of Vienne, so that on the pretext of some exchange the debtors and payers of the said tenth may not be burdened, and that about this, according to the constitution of the same council of Vienne, chalices, books and ecclesiastical ornaments devoted to divine offices may not be taken, received, distrained or even occupied by reason of security or

_ otherwise by occasion of the said exaction. __ , | Wherefore, we command vour fraternity, by apostolic writings, that you take care to exact and collect diligently by yourselves or another or

others the tenth from yourselves, as well as from the aforesaid prelates | and ecclesiastical persons of your and their ecclesiastical receipts and

revenues, which you and they have, and within the said two years shall | have, within the aforesaid cities and dioceses, except from the abovesaid , cardinals, masters, priors, preceptors and brothers; and to pay effectively

expenses for this collection of arrears deducted, to the appointed collector a

of the fruits and revenues owed to the aforesaid camera in those parts, , , who will acquit you, and others whom it may concern, for receipts by

falls seven times and arises again. , , This, moreover, we have seen fulfilled in our beloved sons, Brother Thomas, prior of Christchurch, Canterbury, and brother. Geoffrey, |

| inferior collectors of the tenth delays of payment, the aforesaid inferior |

by the said see executor in England of the business of the Holy Land | with regard to the tenth and other things, about the receipt of a deposit

of a thousand marks from the money collected in aid of the Holy Land. Nevertheless, it was done otherwise than it was written, because we never | received that deposit at any time, or any part of it; but the Lord King Edward received all that money for his expedition, when he went into

Aragon for the liberation of the Prince of Salerno.4 |

of disposing of both his barony and his possessions, as a charter then | _ drawn up bears witness. Which barony and possessions, indeed, the lord king, at the time, was accustomed to hold in his hand, to the incalculable damage and inconceivable burden of the said house, until another abbot

Edward, by the grace of God, etc., to all to whom the present letters may come,

Know that on account of the devotion which we bear and have toward St. Alban, glorious martyr of Christ, and in order that the monks of the abbey of St. Albans can in the future serve the highest more quietly and tranquilly, we grant for us and our heirs to the aforesaid abbey, that the prior and convent of that abbey, and their successors, at each vacancy of that abbey, as often namely as it shall happen to be vacant | henceforth, may have and hold the custody of that abbey, and of allits temporalities, __ together with all things and goods whatever belonging to that abbey, as fully and completely as any abbot of that place was accustomed to have and hold that abbey

] and temporalities, with the aforesaid things and goods, in any past times, when the see was occupied. So that the prior and convent may have full and free administration of the temporalities, and goods and other things, and may be able to dispose and order therein as it may seem better and more useful to them to be done, and as the abbot of the said place could order and dispose therein, when the see was filled; saving to us and our heirs the knights’ fees which are held of the aforesaid abbey, and the advowsons of churches, when they shall occur in times of the aforesaid vacancies. So, nevertheless, that all rents and annual services arising from the aforesaid fees in those vacations may

| remain to the aforesaid prior and convent. Saving also to us and our heirs escheats which shall happen to occur in the aforesaid vacancies; which escheats, indeed, when , each of these vacancies ends, namely, after the fealty rendered to us and our heirs of him who shall happen to be elected, or confirmed, or appointed to the office of abbot, | should be delivered to and remain with the abbot, prior and convent and their suc-

, cessors of the said place without pretext or hindrance on the part of ourself or of any of . our heirs. They are to render to us and our heirs for each vacancy of the abbey, whether __ a it shall last for a whole year or for less time, 1,000 marks to be computed within a year | from the time at which the abbey shall begin to be vacant—namely, 500 marks at the end of the first half of that year and 500 marks at the end of that year. And if, by

, chance, the vacancy of the abbey shall last more than a year, then the aforesaid prior and convent shall pay for the next full year following, if it shall last so long a time, to us and our heirs 1,000 marks at the aforesaid terms; and so for each full year after the first year, during the aforesaid vacancy, at those terms, 1,000 marks. And if it shall

last beyond a whole year, or whole years, for less time than through a year, then for | that shorter time they pay to us proportionally to that shorter amount of time less

than the aforesaid 1,000 marks. , And we will and grant for us and our heirs, that the aforesaid abbot (sic) and con-

vent, and their successors in perpetuity, may have and hold the custody of the afore-

. said abbey at each time of its vacancy in the form aforesaid; so that no sheriff, escheator, or any other bailiff or minister of ourself or our heirs may intervene in any way in

the custody of the aforesaid abbey, or its cells, manors or other things, or any goods : belonging to the said abbey or its cells in any way, by reason of that vacancy; with this

, exception, however, that the escheator or other minister of ourself or our heirs contempo-

| REVENUES 123 rary with the event may take only within the doors of the aforesaid abbey, at the begin, ning of each vacancy of it, a certain simple seisin in the name of our royal lordship; and | _ when this has been so taken, he shall depart thence immediately without taking oreven _

carrying away anything; so that he make no stay there beyond one day on the occasion of the aforesaid seisin, nor substitute therein any one in place of himself. We will, more-

over, and grant for ourself and our heirs, that, if we or our heirs by chance cause our army to be summoned at any time of the vacancy of the aforesaid abbey, the aforesaid

prior and convent and their successors shall not be held for doing service in that army a for their own knights’ fees and those of that abbey in demesne, then in the hands of that | prior and convent, nor disturbed nor burdened in any way by pretext of that service;

but therein they are henceforth quit; saving to us and our heirs, nevertheless, the services of the knight’s fees which are held from the aforesaid abbey, at such times as they

132 : DOCUMENTS | Prospero Rustico, commentator!* of Santa Maria of Lecto, permanent table-companion and member of our household, greeting. When the most holy pope, Sixtus IV, among other things for providing

aid against the most terrible Turks, imposed a tenth to be exacted from all prelates and religious, of whatever order and religious house they may ©

: be, privileged and unprivileged, beneficed, monasteries, convents, hospitals and pious places, as is contained in the apostolic letters . . . we committed the business of the holy cross,!” in order to save expense,!”* to the reverend archbishops, bishops and ordinaries of places, that they should collect the said tenths according to the schedules!”” of the exaction made in the past year, the twelfth of the indiction, and transmit carefully and diligently during the whole month of last October to us at Naples; giv-

, ing to them power of compelling, excommunicating, etc.... When the month of October was past, and many of the beneficed and religious, and even many of the prelates, bishops and abbots in the prov-

ince of Abruzzi and other neighboring places... did not pay or send the money of the tenths to this place, we ordered you to go across personally to the places written below for collecting the said tenths and “setting forth the charges of those who have not paid ... Wherefore we have constituted you our deputy collectors and commissioners with full power of collecting the said tenths, the cardinals and knights of Rhodes

, excepted. Do you exact [them] from all the remaining, since this holy and pious work excludes none, even if privileged; with power of

Item, [with full power] of compelling all collectors, whom.. 1”

they render to you the money collected ...and also of exacting the remainder of the tenths of the twelfth year of the indiction. For each —

article of account or acquittance you may not receive more than four grains.®° We will, also, that you collect the costs and expenses in going to

First, by the books of accounts that the sum of the receipts, assembled from the tenth of the six years in the aforesaid six provinces, can amount _ in all, when all moneys have been reduced to Tours, according to the

having been added £796 5s. and gd. of Tours for divers moneys re- | ceived by the collectors from the debtors after the said account of the

| instruments, the sum of the receipts in all is £94,467 19s. and 6d. of

Tours, all money having been reduced to Tours as before. , From which sums it appears that the sum of the receipts made ac, cording to the account of the instruments is greater than the sum made according to the account of the books by £862 4s. and tod. of Tours. Of the aforesaid receipts and collections, however, there remain in divers places with the collectors of the tenths in divers moneys £1,208

of Tours. , , _ a tors not having been computed, can amount to £861 19s. and 3d.

, According to.the account of the instruments, however, in which the | salaries of the said collectors are reckoned, the sum of expenses increases,

, and it is more by £239 1758. and 3 d. of Tours. 7 | Item, the said prior of Gourdargues shows that for the administration

of the commissioned office he made expenditures from the aforesaid | receipts, both on writings and on the despatch of messengers through the provinces assigned to him and to the Roman court, and also on his escort and on a gift or salary to Master William, his notary, of which the sum

amounts in Tours in all to £316 and 14s..of Tours. = |

office he ought to receive and received for his expenses, as assessed by apostolic letters, 14s. of Tours, the sum of which expenses for the whole

period of 8 years amounts to £2,044 of Tours. a The sum of all the aforesaid expenses made by the collectors and by that prior, the salaries of the said collectors not having been calculated,

sought to have refunded to him £4209 and 10 s. of Tours, to which, having | ,

added the abovesaid £239 17s. and 3d. of Tours for the salaries of the

said collectors, the sum is £692 7s. and 3d. of Tours. | oe

delivered and paid from the assembled money of the tenth to-Lord John | de Grassi, for the expenses which he made beyond the sea, in Lyons and |

divers moneys £7,000 of Tours. _ Co ,

Item, he caused to be delivered, by the collectors of Viviers and Arles,

of the money of the tenth collected beyond the Rhone in the provinces a of Vienne and Arles to the lord king of France and his seneschal, in divers

the aforesaid expenses and deliveries is £13,416 43 s. of small Tours. ! , Item, it appears through public instruments that the. same prior deposited with merchants in divers moneys, of which the sum, if reduced

to Tours, amounts to £80,032 12s. and 4d. of Tours. _ |

Item, he deposited with merchants from the money received after he

‘received the account from the collectors, in divers moneys, £796 5s. and od. of Tours, as is contained above, which had been collected from the debtors of the tenth, of which deposit no instrument is extant. | In a similar mode he deposited the pledges received from the bishop _ |

Vienne, for which deposit no instrument exists. _ |

Tours, as the merchants assert. , |

all moneys having been reduced to Tours. And according to that account, the aforesaid not having been computed, the sum of receipts is greater than that of the deliveries, expenses

and deposits by £850 1os. and 2d. of Tours. | _

_ Whereas, Pope Nicholas IV of happy memory formerly committed

by his letters under certain form the collection of the tenth of all ecclesi-

astical revenues, receipts and obventions of the whole kingdom of Scot- , land for the period of six years to the bishops, the venerable fathers, of

_ Carlisle and of Caithness of good memory, then living; and afterward , the most holy father Lord Pope Boniface VIII by his letters superseded the aforesaid bishops in the collection of the said tenths and obventions in the kingdom of Scotland by the lords, the abbot of the monastery of Holy Cross of Waltham and the dean of the church of London, particu-

larly enjoining the said abbot and dean, that they should compel the aforesaid bishop of Carlisle and the executors of the testament of the last will of the aforesaid bishop of Caithness, and certain others who should seem expedient to them to show to them any apostolic letters

, formerly directed to those bishops of Carlisle and Caithness about the | aforesaid collection, and all writings drawn up therein by them, or at their mandate or commission, and which they or either of them keep; and that they should receive a careful and full account from Carlisle and the aforesaid executors how much the bishops of Carlisle and Caith-

ness, collectors, and either of them by themselves or through others | received. of the above written tenth; and with whom and where, when, and how, and under what securities or pledges they have taken care to deposit the money received by them in this respect; how much of that tenth, and in what places or parts, remains to be collected; also, how much, when and how and where they spent anything from that tenth in executing the things which pertain to it; and if with them or by others to whom meanwhile they committed their powers in the business of that collection or any execution in it there happens still to remain anything from that collected to be assigned; and about other work touching the said business which may seem expedient: the aforesaid abbot and dean,

| wishing to carry out diligently (as they were bound to do) the apostolic mandates directed to them, cited by their letters the said bishop of Carlisle and through him ordered to be cited peremptorily the executors of the testament of the aforesaid bishop of Caithness, that they appear

of which mention is made above, and to render accounts of the tenths _ ,

said business should demand. | | At which day and place the aforesaid lord bishop of Carlisle appeared

, and obventions collected, and further to do what the nature of the afore-

through William de Rodington, clerk and his sufficiently constituted , | proctor, and, by his certificate directed to the said abbot and dean, in which he contended that he should be excused for not making the citation of the executors of the aforesaid bishop of Caithness, and similarly for not making public the rescript of Lord Pope Boniface VIII through

the whole kingdom of Scotland, as he had been asked to do, because, on , account of the perils of the wars and the roads, safe access was not | open for the nuncios of the said lord of Carlisle to the interior parts of Scotland, and especially to the diocese of Caithness, which is known to

be in the farthest solitudes of that kingdom. | | Nevertheless, he sent to the said abbot and dean by the above written

| proctor six rescripts of Pope Nicholas IV of happy memory, formerly transmitted to the said bishops of Carlisle and Caithness about the business of the said tenth. Namely, one directed generally to the bishops,

- prelates and clergy of the whole kingdom of Scotland about paying the => tenth to the lord king of England. Item, another rescript directed to the bishops of Carlisle and Caithness about collecting the said tenth. A

third rescript directed to the same fathers about appointing deputy col- | lectors. A fourth rescript directed to those fathers about collecting obven- , tions for six years. A fifth declaratory rescript concerning the things from which the tenth was to be paid. A sixth rescript directed to all the , bishops established throughout the kingdom of Scotland about preaching

the cross. Of this one thread is broken and separated from the bull. , He also sent to the said abbot and dean 18 rolls sealed with the seal

of the said bishop of Carlisle, in which was stated the true and full assessment of all the ecclesiastical benefices of all the dioceses contained : in the whole kingdom of Scotland. And the sum of the assessment of all —

The aforesaid six apostolic letters and rolls of the assessment of the — aforesaid tenth, carried to the said abbot and dean, as is set forth, re-

, by him for the four first years of the grant of the said tenth in the king: dom of Scotland, and, in addition, for the fifth and sixth years in the Isle of Man only: who, having sworn on the soul of his said lord (as is the

, custom) to render a faithful account in the name of his lord, burdened his

, lord, and himself in his lord’s name, for the total tenth of the twelve dioceses of the kingdom of Scotland for the first four years with £15,791

18s. 8d., and with £55 6s. 2d. of the tenth of the Isle of Man for the fifth and sixth years of the concession of the said tenth. The sum of the ,

contained that the said Reyner had received from the said bishop of

| Carlisle £2,300 of the money of the said tenth. , Item, the said proctor stated that the said bishop, his lord, had delivered to Gerard Simonetti, member and proctor of the company of Pulici and

Rimbertini, £633 6s. 8d. of sterlings of the money of the said tenth, |

. the same. , - , a by a letter sealed with the seal of that Gerard; but the seal of the chapter

of Carlisle was not appended to it, as was written there ought to be on © | Item, the said proctor said that his aforesaid lord, at the mandate of the most holy father, Lord Pope Boniface VIII, had delivered to Abra-

chius Gerardi and Gerard Simonetti, citizens and merchants of Florence , | of the company of Pulici and Rimbertini, 10,000 marks; namely, in — counted money £10 8s. 2$d., and in chirographic letters by the foot of | the account of divers deputy collectors of the said tenth appointed in , many dioceses of the kingdom of Scotland £6,656 5s. 14d. Wherefore he showed a public instrument written and signed by the hand of John, oO formerly Giles of Amelia, public notary by authority of the holy Roman church, and also sealed with the seals of the aforesaid Abrachius and Gerard, in which, among other things, was contained that, if it should

happen that the aforesaid deputy collectors and persons named in it |

- should not give or assign in counted money the said quantity of money | contained in their letters to them, or one of them, or another of the said | | - company, they, or either of them, should restore the abovesaid chiro- , graphic letters to the abovesaid bishop; but whether the said merchants

or elther of them received the said money from the said collectors or other persons contained in the said chirographic letters, the said proctor © could not inform the said abbot and dean. The said proctor also exhibited

| about the said account a rescript of Lord Pope Boniface VIII concerning 7 the paying of 10,000 marks of the said tenth to the company of Pulici a

| and Rimbertini, of which mention is made above. _ Item, the said proctor displayed an instrument of Restaurus Bonaven-

ture, citizen and merchant of Florence of the company of the Spini, in : which was contained that he had received from the said bishop of Car- 3 lisle £1,000 of sterlings of the said tenth, sealed with his seal and the seals a

, ‘sterlings of the said tenth deposited with him by the said bishop. of Carlisle; and the said instrument was sealed with the seal of the said

. merchant and the seals of the abbots of Kelso and Arbroath. Item, the said proctor showed another instrument of Guido Bardi, of the aforesaid company of the Spini, for £206 3s. 32d. of sterlings, delivered to him by the aforesaid bishop of Carlisle from the said tenth,

of Kelso. | |

, sealed with the seal of that Guido and also with the seal of the abbot , Item, the said proctor exhibited another instrument of Restaurus Bonaventure and Guido Bertaldi, of the aforesaid company of the Spini,

for £259 17s. 2d. of sterlings, delivered to them by the said bishop |

from the said tenth. a The said proctor also showed a rescript of Lord Pope Boniface VITI concerning the placing of the deposit of the money of the said tenth

made with the said merchants of the aforesaid company of the Spini, : and not taking it back from them until the said bishop should receive

from the apostolic see a mandate to do otherwise. ,

, Of which deliveries and assignments made to the said merchants of the company of Pulici and Rimbertini the sum total is £11,896 10s.

£1,666 52d. , | a

_ Item, the said proctor said about the account that an allowance had been made by the said bishop, his lord, to the abbot of Rushen, deputy collector of that tenth in the Isle of Man for six years, of £23 8s., because | the goods of the said abbot are not taxed at 100 marks, as appears in the

assessment made of the goods of that abbot. |

And the sum total of the deliveries set forth is in all £13,585 19s. 1$ d. And so there remains £2,261 5 s. 81.d.; concerning which there is to

be a stricter calculation in the final account. * |

The aforesaid proctor, indeed, having sworn to tell the truth about all things asked of him about the business of the collection of the afore-

| said tenth and obventions, when he was asked whether the bishop of Caithness, while he lived, interposed in any way by himseli or by others in the collection of the aforesaid tenth, answered that he did not interpose

, at all, because, that bishop having died in the first year of the collection, the whole prosecution of the collection of the said tenth devolved on the

said bishop of Carlisle. | " - Item, when asked about other points, he says that the said rolls dis-

_ | REVENUES T49 | played are not originals, but copied fully and truly from the originals,

containing the full valuation of all ecclesiastical receipts and revenues. , throughout the whole kingdom of Scotland, except the particular goods — of the bishops of St. Andrews and Glasgow, of which goods, indeed, the

- valuation had been made on the consciences of the said bishops and, as he believes, less fully; and that the said bishop used that valuation | for the collection for the whole period of his collectorate; nor was any _ ,

other assessment employed that he knows. : 7

, Item, he says that, before the said bishop shall have conferred with the deputy collectors of the kingdom of Scotland, he cannot know

exactly how much of the said tenth may have been separately collected, or how much may still remain to be levied, or the expense about , |

the administration of the said tenth. ~ | , | Item, when asked about the obventions collected and to be collected,

he says he knows nothing whatever. Nevertheless, two collectors of -obventions had been appointed by the said bishop of Carlisle about the administration of the business of the said obventions in the whole of the aforesaid kingdom, namely, Master William de Goseford, who still survives, and William de Irby, who died when more than two years had

elapsed. His place in that office of collection was given by the said lord , bishop to Master John de Berewes. With these masters the said bishop of Carlisle has not yet had an account. And until the said deputy collectors shall have informed the said bishop, his lord, the said proctor can

not tell the said abbot and dean precisely what or how much has been | : collected of the said obventions or of pledges set forth in that name, or who are debtors of those things which were assigned to the aid of the

Holy Land, or other things touching the said office of this collection. : The said obligatory instruments of the merchants, indeed, and the papal letters making mention of payments or deposits of moneys made

with the said merchants remained with the said proctor. | |

_ Having been specially appointed in the presence of the said lord dean, the said lord abbot having been legitimately kept away from this duty, , Philip Gerardini, fellow and merchant of the company of the Spini of

Florence, to whom the instruments touching the fellows and company , of the Spini, of which mention is previously made, had been shown at the

said day and place, confessed from certain knowledge that the seals appended to the said instruments in the name of the fellows of the Spini

are the true seals of his fellows named in those instruments, of whom it is written in them, as he believes. Item, Gyottus Guydonis, citizen and merchant of the company of Pulici and Rimbertini of Florence, said he

150 DOCUMENTS . believed all the seals appended to the instruments affecting his fellows

| and company, of which mention is previously made, to be the true seals ,

a of his fellows named in those instruments. |

And because the said lord dean could not now be informed fully about __

7 the premises in the said business of account, he appointed a day for the aforesaid proctor of the said bishop of Carlisle, and for his lord in the person of that proctor, on the fortnight of the next Michaelmas to come, —

in the same place as before, for the final accounting about the said tenths, , ~ and also about the obventions arising in the said kingdom of Scotland in the whole time of his collectorate; so that meanwhile the accounts of all the deputy collectors, deputed by that bishop in the aforesaid kingdom

, of Scotland, both of tenths and obventions, having been audited by the said bishop, as he stands enjoined by the said dean to do, the same bishop of Carlisle, fully informed, may appear legitimately at the said day and

_ place before the said lords abbot and dean, or either of them, or their vicegerents, prepared to render a fuller account, and for giving satisfaction

for the clear balances which may then happen to bedeclaredasthe result of the rendition of the said account, as well as for displaying registers and

any other writings or instruments drawn up by the said father and his —

: agents about the things which affect the said tenths and obventions and the collection of them, and also any pledges set out by any debtors in the premises and the processes had against them, and anything further to be done and received about the premises and affecting them, which the character and nature of the said business shall demand.

churches in each deanery, and let them assess all the goods of those churches, not according to the assessment made for the twentieth,’” but according to the way in which they can be assessed better and more fruitfully, reducing that assessment to rolls, of which they may have one

and you the other, sealed with the signet of the bishop, if he should

Moreover, I will give counsel and aid and favor faithfully to them concerning making

truth, both from your own knowledge and from whatever rectors, vicars , . and other persons seem most expedient to you, as to what is the just estimate of all ecclesiastical incomes existing in your deanery, both greater

and less, whosesoever they are, exempt or non-exempt, and as to what is , the estimate of separate tithes, namely, if they collect and possess by |

special right tithes, pensions or other revenues in the parishes of the | rectors of the churches, or any should possess them in their name. Do

you, moreover, under the aforesaid penalties, reduce faithfully to writing ' the aforesaid just estimates, and give them to us in a letter patent forti- a , fied with your seals, at the time and place to be fixed for you below. - | The goods of religious, however, which do not belong to churches | appropriated to them, nor are separated tithes, will be assessed by the religious, if the abbey, or cell or priory to which these goods belong is in

your deanery. If, however, they are not in your deanery, their goods will oe be assessed by you, and do you cause us to have their assessment plainly , ,

| and clearly in writing. | a | : We give to each and all of you, moreover, full power of compelling all

- and each of your deanery to take oath about the truth of the things shown | to you in this matter, as you think most expedient; constraining oppo- -

ments with care and truth,’ notwithstanding any assessments previ- __ 7

common contract. | | |

, This office, moreover, we enjoin upon you in remission of sins, granting

to you, by authority of the apostolic see, that you become participants _

Since, for the business of the tenth recently decreed in aid of the Holy Land in the council of Lyons, we are sending you to parts of Tuscany with our letters, so that you may appoint collectors of that tenth in all those parts of Tuscany and do the other things which are contained in those letters; and we think many doubts may arise about these things; we, desiring recourse to be had to you in these things, have caused to be noted in the present, for your instruction, certain declarations of similar doubts used in the business of the tenth formerly appointed for the aid of the aforesaid land in the kingdom of France,2?% and certain others,

which are as follows.?°” , | The tenth will not be paid from the rents and revenues of lazar houses,

houses of God and hospitals for the poor which are converted to the use

of the infirm and the poor.” | | |

Nuns and other regular persons, whose ecclesiastical rents and revenues are so slender and meagre that they cannot be supported by them, but find it necessary, in order to obtain sustenance for their living, to’

beg publicly and to seek alms publicly, will not pay the said tenth. | 204 These instructions were first used for the assessment of a triennial tenth imposed in France by Clement IV in 1267. They were augmented extensively for use in 1274

in the letter translated above. Later they were used with slight modifications by Honorius IV for the levy of a tenth granted in Italy, and by Nicholas IV for the levy of a sexennial tenth in England imposed in 1291: Registres d@’Honorius IV, edited by Prou, no. 60; Registres de Nicholas IV, edited by Langlois, no. 6693. It was in the

, last form that they were used by Boniface VIII, who made them permanent instructions for the assessment of clerical income by incorporating them in the canon law.

It may be committed to the choice or judgment of those paying the

tenth, whether they wish to pay it for the whole time for which the tenth | | will last at the rate of the revenues which they happen to collect in each year of the said time, or for that whole period at the rate of the common estimation of their revenues. But, when one method has been chosen, it

is not permitted to any one to change and revert to another. And let

this choice be expressed and reduced to writing by the collectors at the | first payment of the abovesaid tenth; otherwise, they will be held to pay according to common estimation during the whole period.?!° We declare, moreover, that if those who elect to pay the tenth at the

rate of what they receive annually sell the revenues of their benefices | which do not require personal residence, they will pay the tenth only _on the price which they receive from them, provided that about this noth-

ing is done to the fraud of the tenth. But an ecclesiastical person who | does not reside in his church or benefice which requires residence in per-

| woods shall be received from the said forests and woods which have | not been accustomed to be sold and by chance are not sold during the duration of the tenth. And if such pannage, herbage and like things are

| not sold, the tenth will not be paid from them, provided nothing be — attempted about this to the fraud of the tenth. We have caused the same to be observed in pannage, herbage and similar receipts from underwood. From ponds and fisheries, if they are sold, the tenth of the price will

be paid thus, namely, so that comparison be made of the number of

, years in which they were not sold before the last sale with the amount | _ of the price received from that last sale, so that, the price having been divided into parts according to the number of years, the tenth will be paid, for the duration of the tenth, from as many parts of the price received from that sale as there were aforesaid years; so that, for instance, if five years have elapsed since the year in which the pool wassold,andnow it is sold for £100, make five parts of the price, and for the three years, for which the tenth will last, the tenth will be paid on three parts of the price, namely on only £60; and so will be multiplied and diminished the

parts of the price as the said years may be more or less. 7 Concerning game preserves, moreover, and fisheries in rivers,” if they

- are sold, and underwood, the same will be done as concerning ponds. On the fish of ponds or the beasts of warrens which happen to be taken

for use or for their eating, and so are consumed, or to be given away without fraud, the tenth will not be paid. And, because many obtain priories, granges, houses, revenues, pensions and rents from monasteries and churches, in paying the tenth on

, these we believe distinction is to be made, namely, whether they hold such in benefice, whether from contract, whether from mere favor, and _ whether for a reward of labor or service;?! and those obtaining such in

, benefice and also from mere favor,243 whether this be by the apostolic see24 or by the persons of those monasteries and churches, will pay the

, , tenth on the revenues from them. When, however, such are obtained by contract, whether at a pension or at an annual farm in which no favor is shown to the one obtaining, but each of the contracting parties sought

| to make his condition better by this means, the receivers of the pension or farm will pay the tenth on that pension or farm. If, however, before — or after the grant of this tenth, any buy for their own life the revenues of a priory or of the aforesaid others for any amount of money, provided 212 B adds fisheries in ponds. _ 313 Phrase omitted, B. 214 Qm., A.

have the ownership of these things, who have received therefrom the | price for the future time. If, however, favor should be done in these > a things to those obtaining them, because such are intentionally sold or

given out on contract to them for less than they are worth, those obtain- | ing them, and not the monastery or church,”!* will pay the tenth on that in

, which the favor is done to them, and on the remainder those who have the ownership. If, however, such things are granted to any persons for just

reward or remuneration for labor or service rendered or to be rendered, :

| those who have the ownership of the things will properly count the reve- | nues of these things in the tithing of their revenues, and on these, as . , on other things which are spent for their other uses, will pay the tenth.

, But if these things are rightly transferred to others by those who obtain | | them, because™* that thing passes with its burden, what we said about | those [who obtain them] will be observed; nor will expenses be deducted which are known to be made for monks, who ought to be kept by contract |

in such priories, granges or houses granted in benefice or from mere favor. ,

| However, the expenses of those monks or persons who ought to be kept , by contract in priories, granges or houses granted at just farm or pension, whether they should be determined or not, will be estimated by common estimation, and, according to such estimation, the monastery or church —

_. which has the ownership of them will be tithed with their revenues. | Prelates will not pay the tenth on procurations which they receive in — a victuals, but those who pay to them?!” these victuals will count them in

the tithing of their revenues and rents, and pay the tenth on them. For a those procurations, however, which prelates rightly collect by ancient custom in counted money, and which they will collect even if they should

not visit, they are held to pay the tenth. The prelate, however, who remits , , to any church a procuration, which he could collect legally in counted

| money without visitation, because he remits what is owed to him, and _ on which he would have paid the tenth, if he had received it, is held to

pay the tenth from such procuration. If, however, he by chance remits _ , _a procuration which can be collected only in victuals, the ecclesiastical person to whom the remission is made will estimate these victuals with

his other revenues, when he shall pay the tenth, since he would be held |

to do this even if there had been no remission.

The tenth will be paid also from those things which consist of jurisdiction, high justice, regalities and similar things, with the deduction of moderate salaries, which were customarily paid before the grant, to

judges, officials and similar persons, without which the jurisdiction and , , the other similar rights cannot be exercised—provided that nothing be attempted about this to the fraud of the tenth—but the expenditures for

Moreover, nothing will be deducted from the tenth by reason of a debt for which the person paying the tenth happens to be obliged, even if on account of this certain ecclesiastical things have been especially pledged

by any one.

: Item, the tenth will be paid from ovens and mills. : Moreover, the tenth will be paid from oblations, whether they be made for the benediction of those marrying or for the services of the dead, as well as from the revenues of seals of prelates and from fines

which they receive from excommunicates. | The tenth will also be paid on legacies left to them and to other ecclesiastical persons, not by reason of the persons, but of the churches or offices.

For the abovesaid tenth only that money will be exacted which shall _ be commonly current at the command of the lord of the land and which

| is coined in the places in which are the fruits and revenues whence the tenth shall be paid, nor shall any be forced to exchange that money. |

_ If, on the basis of probable or likely presumption, it shall appear that — any one has paid for the tenth notably less than is due, after his revenues have been considered, so that about this-he ought deservedly to be con-

: sidered suspect, from our office we will cause inquiry to be made by suitable men to be appointed by us from those who can know the truth | about this, namely, with the counsel of his diocesan, or by someone to’ | ' be appointed by him if he should be the subject of that one, and not in 218 Fyerint, A. 19 Castrorum, A, B.

| REVENUES © 167 , any other way if the bishop or the one appointed by him can be had » conveniently; and then finally, and not before, he whose revenues should

be so estimated, because he had paid less, will be excommunicated by | name, if his contumacy shall demand and it shall seem expedient. Bishops, however, and abbots and other honorable ecclesiastical persons,

not suspected, will be left to their own consciences; so that, with respect | to such, the sentence of excommunication which will be pronounced gen-

erally against those paying not at all”° or intentionally less and those | employing fraud or malice about the payment of that tenth may suffice. Moreover, compulsion by ecclesiastical censure may be used about these _

_ things, as should seem expedient to us and to others to whom we have ~ : caused this to be committed.”! However, if it should seem expedient, , excommunication will be published generally or specially against those

: who should cause fraud or malice to be employed against the payment of ,

the tenth or the estimation of their revenues when it should be done. , None of those not paying, however, will be compelled by the violence of secular power, unless the contumacy or rebellion of the one not paying a should be of such nature or so great that deservedly the aid of the secular , arm ought to be invoked against him, as would be done in other cases or

_ affairs on account of contempt of ecclesiastical censure.” | , Payment of the tenth, moreover, should be made not in those things ,

_ which are collected for revenues, but in counted money. | _ The tenth will be paid, moreover, to those persons who may happen

to be appointed for this purpose. a

The rector of a parochial church who, on account of the urgent need

of the care of his church, as, for instance, because he is not able to take a sufficient care of it himself by residing in person, on account of the number of parishioners or the extent of his parish, necessarily has to hire one or two or several chaplains and to pay to them a salary for their , living, will be able to deduct this salary in the payment of the tenth,

but will deduct nothing by reason of the living of those chaplains. But if any one should obtain divers benefices in divers cities and

in which it may be. | | -

dioceses, he will pay the tenth from each benefice in the city or diocese Oo On alms or oblations given to the work of the fabric, indeed, and especially on those oblations which customarily have been given and | offered to the work of the fabric, and collected by those who have been

appointed to the fabric, at certain festivals, in the cities and some towns - and places of Italy, in the form of candles and wax and other things, the , 220 Nullo modo, A, B. 221 Sentence om., A. 222 Sentence om., B.

| 168 © DOCUMENTS | | tenth will not be paid. Similarly, not on those oblations which are col- | lected sometimes by laymen, who are called community collectors, and sometimes by clerks, and which are offered for the use of the community, ,

| so that therefrom the lights in the church, crosses and chalices may be - made and repaired, and also that therefrom aid may be given to the poor

and the bodies of deceased paupers may be buried. Exiled prelates and clerks, moreover, of whatever condition or dignity

| they may be, will pay the tenth from their ecclesiastical revenues. _ Those expenditures, also, which are made for ditches and also for other things to improve lands, so that they will produce more fruits, and

those which are made in conserving or repairing the buildings of mills,

| houses or storehouses and similar things, from which fruits and pensions , are collected, and, unless they should be repaired, the fruits could not be collected from them, will not be deducted from this tenth; nor even those which are for the custody of castles, although they may be greater

than usual. ,

Moreover, the aforesaid tenth will be paid even from the smallest | oblations which ecclesiastical persons collect by reason of their churches

for burials and giving penances. __ |

And because it does not suggest itself to us that daily distributions are. not ecclesiastical revenues to be taxed, we, with our predecessor, Pope Clement of happy memory, who declared that the tenth deputed by him for a similar aid ought to be paid from them, and also willed [them] to be

: taxed, declare [that] the present tenth ought to be paid from distributions

which are given in canonical hours.2” | Furthermore, those who may have been appointed for the collection of

| the tenth cannot make a compact with those who ought to pay the tenth

: for any certain sum to be paid for the tenth. | |

| From the fruits of trees and gardens which shall be sold the tenth will - be paid. On those, however, which shall be consumed by use or by eating the tenth will not be paid. Similarly also the tenth will be paid on the ,

, fruits of flocks and animals, if they belong to churches, the necessary expenditures which are made for their care having been deducted. If, however, they belong to persons the tenth will not be paid.*4 _ 223B reads: ‘And because it does not occur to us that daily distributions are not : ecclesiastical revenues: we declare the present tenth ought to be paid on distributions

which are given in the present canonical hours.” |

224 B reads: “From the fruits of trees and gardens the tenth will be paid. But from those of animals which are consumed by use or for food, if they belong to churches, the tenth will be paid, the necessary expenditures which are made for their care having been deducted; if, however, they belong to persons the tenth will not be paid.”

REVENUES | 169 , Wherefore, do you, having before the eyes in these things only God and | : justice and the necessity of the aforesaid land, take to yourself the information of the aforesaid declarations in deciding doubts of this sort, |

which can be decided by you easily ;25 on the greater, however, do you ,

seek and await the decision of the apostolic response. |

We also will, and, by the authority of the present, command you, | that you promulgate by our authority the sentence of excommunication against any ecclesiastical person of the district assigned to you, of what-

ever order, condition or dignity he may be, who should pay that tenth not at all, or intentionally not in full, or not according to the estimate of the persons appointed for this purpose by us, or at our mandate, or not at the prescribed terms, or should apply malice or fraud in the per-.

formance of them; and that you take care to publish, by yourselves -- and others, in cathedral and other collegiate churches of the cities and

dioceses of the aforesaid district, both this and what we recently decreed in the general council against all and each who should intentionally place | any hindrance, directly or indirectly, publicly or secretly, whereby the aid of the aforesaid tenth would not be paid. Do you, by yourselves and — others, publicly announce, with bells ringing and candles lighted, at each

| Sunday and holiday, all and each who may incur the aforesaid sentences excommunicated until the render of suitable satisfaction, and cause them

to be most strictly avoided by all, and do you add the weight of your other compulsory powers”’ against them, as you think their wantonness | and contumacy deserve. But if they shall have decided to give satisfaction, : after full and complete satisfaction, do you absolve them from these

excesses, according to the form of the church, and dispense them of the irregularity, if, while so bound, they should not have abstained from

divine services. 728 ,

. INSTRUCTIONS IN MAKING ASSESSMENTS FOR THE TENTH :

— IMPOSED BY THE COUNCIL OF LYONS IN 1274 | | {13 February 1277. Le Registre de Jean XXI, edited by Cadier, nos. 104, 105.]

To Master Arditio, dean of the church of Milan, our chaplain, ap- | | pointed collector of the tenth in the kingdom of England. Recently the beloved sons, Masters John of Pontisara, archdeacon of

_ Exeter, Henry de Havecle and Walter de Lechelade, nuncios of our | , venerable brothers, the archbishops and the bishops, and of the beloved ©

sons, the abbots, priors, deans, provosts and other prelates of churches, ,

as well as of the clergy of the kingdom of England, established in the _ presence of us and our brothers, took care to set forth that, among other | 7 grievances, which, as they assert, were produced by the beloved sons, Master Raymond de Nogaret, our chaplain, and Brother John of Dar- , _lington, of the order of Preachers, recently appointed by the apostolic see

for collecting the tenth of the aforesaid kingdom, that master and brother, — | ‘summoning to themselves at London from nearly all parts of the said

kingdom abbots, priors and other honorable ecclesiastical persons, not suspected, whom the kindness of the aforesaid see left to their own con- oe science in the payment of that tenth, forced them personally with three or even more from their colleges and convents to swear an oath about the

annual value of their revenues, making them, moreover, to pay there, ,

at their perils and expenses, the tenth so sworn. ,

| They also exacted, and even extorted, the tenth of the rents and reve- | |

nues of lazar-houses, houses of God and hospitals for the poor, the reve- nues of which are converted to the use of the infirm and the poor, as well

176. DOCUMENTS | | | as also from the benefices of those whose annual revenues do not exceed ~ the value of six marks, contrary to the tenor of the apostolic declarations

decreed about the payment of the tenth. | a Moreover, the abovesaid tenth is exacted on what chapters of cathe- |

| dral churches and also some of their canons pay of inevitable necessity

| to vicars and priests or clerks, whom they ought to keep permanently in residence in those churches, from those chapters and canons. , _ Furthermore, that master and brother never allowed to be deducted in the payment of that tenth the salaries of the chaplains of parochial

, churches, whom their rectors, on account of the urgent necessity of the care of their churches, [employed], as, for example, because they are not

able to take that care themselves by residing in them in person, on account of the number of parishioners or the extent of their parishes,

| but necessarily have to hire chaplains and pay to them a salary on , account of living; and also necessary expenses which happen to be made

7: on things from which the fruits arise in ploughing, cultivating and collect-

ing those fruits, without which they could not be received. Moreover, the clerks of the said master and brother, appointed by them in divers dioceses of the said kingdom, on very many benefices

| assessed according to their will, although the holders of those benefices | together with other neighboring beneficed persons took care to estimate the annual revenues of their benefices at the true amount, an oath _ having been sworn, increased this assessment, nevertheless, at divers - places and divers times, the exaction of the tenth following immediately

, according to the amount of this increase. When, however, it happened _ that anything was given to the aforesaid clerks at the time of the assess-

, ment, as was proposed to be done in several places, it was deducted from ~

| this increase according to the amount of the gift. | ,

, Those clerks, also, although they exact a certain amount of money even beyond that due for letters of single payments,” do not uphold that a series of a single page comprises the benefices of a single person, if they are several, but, individual letters having been framed for each benefice, the burden of extortion grows; rendering themselves otherwise most injurious and troublesome by citing, suspending, excommunicating, interdicting, sequestrating and inflicting other penalties at the pleasure

of their will. a |

| Whence the aforesaid nuncios humbly petitioned us in behalf of the archbishops, bishops and others aforesaid, that, since it is probably

, doubtful whether, by reason of that assessment or of the payment of .

: 242 Namely, receipts for single payments. mo

__ with the apostolic kindness for their salvation, —=s_— : oe | We, therefore, intent on those things which relate to the salvation of souls, grant to your discretion, by authority of the present, full power of absolving in this affair, by yourselves or another or others, according to the form of the church, from the abovesaid sentences, penance commen- _

surate with the kind of fault having been enjoined on such, as, according | : to God, seems expedient to you for the salvation of their souls, and of |

giving them dispensation for irregularity, if they are known to have | incurred any by taking part in divine services when they were so bound. | , We will, however, that they should satisfy you fully for the aforesaid -

_ tenth, according to the content of their declarations, before you proceed a

to absolution and dispensation of this sort. |

- Furthermore, if any of the archbishops, bishops and others abovesaid , should cause a complaint to be lodged with you against any of those a clerks, because he should have burdened him unjustly, or because he

| should have extorted or exacted anything from him unduly, do you, | | through yourself, or another or others, inquiring diligently concerning _ grievances, extortions and exactions of this sort, if it should be fully established by you concerning these things, compel that clerk, by reason

of the foregoing, by means of ecclesiastical censures, with appeal re- , moved, a warning having been issued previously, that he give due satis-

faction concerning the aforesaid grievances, extortions and exactions;

otherwise, do you nevertheless proceed against him as the nature of his ~ excesses shall demand and justice shall require. Moreover, do you not

_ inflicting other penalties at the pleasure of their will.’’| _ Indeed, we received the aforesaid nuncios with customary kindness _ | _ and studied their statements diligently. And because the grievances of - you and of the apostolic see displease us, we said to the aforesaid nuncios Oo

that, if they intended to lodge a charge against any in behalf of you or |

178 DOCUMENTS | any of you, we would cause the aid of justice, in which we are known to be debtors to all, to be shown to them, from whom was had the humble and devout answer that they had not been sent for this purpose, but that

of an apostolic provision. | .

Since, therefore, we honor the English church with a feeling of special affection, and your grievances weigh on us as being contrary to our inten-

tions, with the counsel of our brothers we have caused to be ordained that the collectors to be appointed by the apostolic see for the future for collecting the tenth of the aforesaid kingdom, as quickly asit canbe done conveniently, at London in some church or place suitable for the purpose, before several ecclesiastical persons specially convoked on account of this,

| publicly take oath that they will exercise faithfully the office committed to them, abstaining from the aforesaid and any other of your excessive grievances, which they have known to be such, and that they will intentionally add nothing beyond the true value of the receipts and revenues of your benefices, and, as far as is in their power, will not permit to be

| increased by those to be appointed by them; and, moreover, [these things]

, will be strictly enjoined upon the aforesaid collectors by the apostolic see in virtue of obedience and under pain of excommunication.?** If, however, any of you should have chosen to pay that tenth for the period of the whole time for which the grant of the tenth shall last, at the rate of the revenues which they may receive annually, those collectors should exact the aforesaid tenth from them according to their choice of | this sort. Hf, however, they preferred to pay that tenth for the whole of that period at the rate of common estimation, the aforesaid tenth should

| be exacted according to that method; in such a way, nevertheless, that in this common estimation the slightest regard should not be had for the valuation made by the bishop of Norwich of good memory, or any other

formerly made in those parts. But that estimation should be made by

those collectors according to the valuation made by the master and | brother or the aforesaid clerks, if you were content with that valuation,

| or according to the method of the true valuation, so that there should not | be room for grievance or lack of the tenth which is owed. ‘Moreover, ‘those to be appointed may exact or cause to be exacted from

, Whereas that lord abbot and we, his proctors, were prepared to compound with you for the tenth of his rents and revenues, on which, after deducting what ought to be

] deducted, he is held to pay that tenth to the aforesaid subsidy, according to the form of the letters of B., bishop of Sabina of good memory, and of the venerable father, Lord J., cardinal deacon of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, granted to the aforesaid lord’ abbot by the special command of the lord pope, about making this composition with you about the tenths of those revenues, and we offered to you the amount the tenth of the said revenues could attain annually year after year,“* by letters of that lord abbot sealed with his seal, in which was contained, among other things, that, all his revenues

| having been diligently ascertained by him and others, on which, after the deduction of what ought to be deducted, he was held to pay the aforesaid tenth, the tenth of those rents did not amount annually year after year for past years to more than 45 marks, nor even to so much, and he informed you of this on his conscience, and he had been and was prepared to pay the tenth on them when a composition had been made between you and him according to the form of the said letters granted to him, and, those letters of the lord abbot having been shown to you and read and inspected by | you, you did not care or wish and declined to make a composition; and we protested __

, that it was not through that lord abbot or through us, his proctors, but rather through you, that that composition was not made between you and him according to the form

of those letters granted to him, fearing from probable conjectures lest you or either of 7

| you should proceed to anything to the prejudice and harm of that abbot. Wherefore : as proctors for the said lord abbot, we, in writing, take the cause before and appeal to the apostolic see and earnestly and pressingly seek letters of appeal, placing the said lord abbot, his monastery and rights under the protection of that see, lest you proceed in any manner to pronounce.against him sentence of excommunication or interdict or suspension, or to declare him struck or denounced by any sentence, or to make denouncements or publications, or to attempt, presume or do any other thing against

him by yourselves or others. | so

_ Which libel having been offered to us on the fourth day of January, we

have protested and said as follows. | We, Master Arditio and Brother John, appointed by the apostolic see

| collectors of the tenth in the kingdom of England, say and protest in the , presence of the said proctors to the appellatory libel offered to us by Master Emanuel, archdeacon of Cremona, and Brother Adam, archdeacon of Westminster, proctors of Lord R., abbot of Westminster, in his name,

| - that it did not and does not remain with us that we did not make composition with the said abbot according to the tenor of the letters of the

| lords cardinals according to the true value of the ecclesiastical fruits of

246 [7no anno alterum adiuvante. , |

| | ‘REVENUES | 181 | | that abbot, and we are prepared, if the said abbot wishes, to make in-

quisition, according to the tenor of the apostolic letters and justice and , equity, concerning the aforesaid true value, and to proceed and act with , the said lord abbot about this as shall be just and right. Nor can we consent , to making a composition at the amount of the conscience of the said abbot,

which is contained in a certain schedule sealed with the seal of the said , abbot, which the said proctors offered, when the amount contained in , the said schedule, namely £30, is less than half of the true value, as we __ believe and is asserted by one worthy of faith, especially since the venerable father, Lord James, cardinal deacon of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, ===

said to me, Brother John, orally in the Roman court, that it was never , the intention of the pope, or of him, or of the late Lord B., bishop of | | Sabina, who sent their letters about this composition to Master Arditio and Brother John, that we should make any composition which would

be less than the true value. Which having been so made known, we fix the peremptory term for those proctors in the name of the said abbot that they appear before us on Thursday at about the hour of prime for hearing

our answer about the aforesaid appellatory libel and about the apostles

having been petitioned. 7 oe | ,

_ Wherefore, since the said lord bishop of Sabina has gone the way of | all flesh, the said business having been rendered imperfect, and the inter-

pretation of the said commission and the ordering of all the said tenth | -_- belongs to your holiness, and the said proctors being present, we fixed a

peremptory term through them for the said lord abbot, that within the , - period of three months the lord abbot should take care to appear before , - your holiness by himself or by a legitimate proctor, with the letters of

| the said lords cardinals and with all the muniments pertaining to that business, to hear and do whatever your clemency should cause to be

ordained about these things. — |

Nor can we be silent that the said abbot, under cover or confidence of _ making the said composition, has not taken care to pay the tenth pertaining to him, as he ought according to the statute of the council of Lyons and , _ of other apostolic letters issued about the payment of the tenth. Nor on

account of this does the said abbot abstain from divine services; indeed, ,

, heThetakes part in them as before. | 7 abovesaid were done and read in the presence of the abovesaid | | proctors at London in the house of the Brothers Preachers, in the year , from the incarnation of the Lord 1278, seventh indiction, on the nine-

called and summoned for this purpose. In testimony of this thing the : , aforesaid venerable men, Master Arditio and Brother John, ordered their

seals to be appended to this public instrument. And I, Peter of Valcimaria of the diocese of Camerino, public notary

, by apostolic authority, was present at all the abovesaid, and, as is read above, have written at the requests of the said master and brother, and _ have published, and have sealed with my customary seal. 315. PAPAL INTERPRETATION OF CERTAIN STATEMENTS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY GREGORY X FOR ASSESSING CLERICAL INCOME FOR

_ LEVY OF THE TENTH IMPOSED BY THE COUNCIL OF LYONS IN 1274

, {February, 1279.24? Vatican Archives, Collectoria 213, fols. 49, 49v., as edited by Lunt

in English Historical Review, XXXII, 86-88.} |

This is a copy of certain declarations about the doubts written below sent to the said highest pontiff on the part of the aforesaid Master Arditio and Brother John, as appears through their letters sent to the said Lord Cardinal James, copied below this, of which declarations the tenor is as

follows. ,

- Doubts arise from the declarations*® written below.

First, where it is said, ‘‘the tenth will not be paid on the revenues and receipts of lazar-houses, houses of God and hospitals for the poor which are converted to the use of the infirm and the poor.”’ For there are in the kingdom of England several such rich houses, having ample possessions and impropriated churches,” whose masters and officials convert many

things to their own uses, and have clerks and laymen with them, and horses and a large household. Therefore the collectors doubt whether such are entirely immune from payment of the tenth, or whether distinction should be made by the judgment of a good man between what things are converted to the use of the infirm and poor and the other things

which are converted to the use of the masters and the household.

| If the goods which are converted to the use of the poor are separated

time. | , }

from the others, let it be paid from those separated which are not converted to the use of the poor. But the truth is that there is no such sepa-

ration of goods in rich hospitals. ,

247 The date of this letter. The papal interpretations must date from an earlier

| 248 Namely, the declarations contained in the bull of. instructions, above, no. 310. _

249 Tn proprios usus, MS. ,

| REVENUES , | 183 _ There follows in the declarations: ‘Nuns and other regular persons

| who for the sustenance of their life necessarily have to beg publicly and | , seek alms publicly will not pay the said tenth.”’ There are, indeed, no © nuns in England begging publicly. There are, however, many so poor and

miserable that they cannot be sustained by their revenues. a | Let it be committed to Brother John, who may provide about this. |

Such was the answer given. —© | There follows in the declarations: “Secular clerks, also, whose annual

ecclesiastical rents and revenues do not exceed the sum of six marks will | not pay the said tenth.”’ Many act deceitfully against that declaration, . , saying that, if their benefice cannot be given at farm for six marks, al- / , though it may be worth ten or twelve marks annually to the one residing

in that benefice, they are not held to give the tenth. |

If he is held to reside, let him pay on how much the resident receives. |

| There follows in the declarations: “Nor will the tenth be paid from the pittances of monks.” All monks and regulars stick to this declaration | | deceitfully, saying themselves to have many churches and manors, the rents and revenues of which are converted into pittances, and therefore

they say themselves not to be held for the tenth. For the declaration | ought to be understood, it would seem, of those things which are given | to them extraordinarily in victuals or in numbered money for pittances, : and not of ordinary rents which they can convert to any uses as they wish.

Let them not pay from extraordinary things nor from those which | -

_ they who gave the possessions instituted. ae , There follows: “From those things which are bequeathed to churches | by Christ’s faithful, so that perpetual rents may be bought with them,

the tenth will not be paid.” It requires for this declaration, or rather |

_ possessions of churches. ! , ! | So it seems to be understood. Oe , addition, whether the rents bought with such money are held like other ,

see. | | |

There follows: ‘““‘We have caused to be left to the choice or judgment | , of those paying the tenth, etc.” It seems to the collectors of the kingdom of England that from that declaration or choice nothing comes except | disturbance of the business and useless labor. Therefore it seems expedi-

ent that, choice of this sort having been wholly removed, one method, which seems more efficient and useful, should be given by the apostolic |

Let it be assessment. a : | -

184 DOCUMENTS “Concerning those selling the revenues of their benefices, or giving at —

, farm,” where is inserted ‘‘if he should cause to be served by a farmer or | vicar,” there should be added “or by a simple priest, nor should he deduct

the portion of the vicar or simple priest but on all, etc.” } The same concerning the simple priest with distinction between tem-

porary and perpetual as in the vicar. | There follows: “If, on the basis of probable or likely presumption, it | shall appear that any one has paid for the tenth notably less than is due,

after his revenues have been considered, so that about this he ought , _. deservedly to be considered suspected, from our office we will cause inquiry to be made by suitable men to be appointed by us from those who | can know the truth about this, namely, with the counsel of the bishop of the diocese, or by some one to be appointed by him if he should be the subject of that one, and not in any other way if the bishop or the one appointed

by him can be had conveniently, and then finally, and not before, he whose revenues should be so estimated, because he had paid less, will be excommunicated by name, if his contumacy shall demand and it shall seem expedient.’”’ This declaration is prejudicial to the business, for the clergy of England say that the lord pope did not excommunicate in the council those not paying at the prescribed terms, nor can the collectors excommunicate them until an inquisition shall have preceded, for making which they have no power, as appears from the afore-

a said, nor even do they have the consent of the ordinary, nor are the revenues estimated. Therefore the business is manifestly weakened. ©

Just as those directing can excommunicate in general, so they can ,

, excommunicate by name in the aforesaid case. | | There follows: ‘Bishops and abbots and other honorable ecclesiastical persons, not suspected, are left to their own consciences.” This also | brings the business into disorder, because, in fact, such persons commonly do not pay a twentieth, so that, inferior persons seeing, pay what they — wish, departing from the true value entirely.

, It is at the discretion of the superintendents who ought to be held unsuspected, and from the suspected they can exact an oath. There follows: “None of those not paying shall be compelled by the

; violence of secular power.” From this declaration many assume the boldness of not paying. Therefore it is expedient to specify particularly contumacy or rebellion for which the secular arm ought to be invoked,

exact from them the procurations due to us so moderately that they | , may not be burdened, on account of an undue exaction of the said proc-

command your discretion, by the authority which we possess, that, as- sociating with you some suitable ecclesiastical persons, namely, one to be |

, pertains justly to each of them, according to which they may be held to | contribute to the said procurations and burdens for the present and Which assessment and distribution, indeed, after it has been carefully

Forgetfulness often injures memory and often, by length of time, causes a thing clear at present to be rendered obscure in the future. Whence, against the loss of oblivion, the care of the prudent provides the protection of writing, especially in those things which, after contentions

| and scandals, are praiseworthily put to sleep by careful deliberation and , ,

sagacious judgment of the elders. | , |

In truth, recently, it having been made known to the most reverend © , father and lord, Lord Napoleon, by divine providence cardinal deacon | of S. Adriano, then legate of the apostolic see, by a veracious statement | | in behalf of the chapter and clergy and other ecclesiastical persons, secular and regular, exempt and non-exempt of the city and diocese of

Trent, that, in procurations due to legates and nuncios of the said see and other burdens which were imposed on them according to circumstances,

the distribution was not made equitably, but those who had less revenues | . and more slender resources were more heavily burdened in their contri- | 7 bution, and it having been petitioned him that he would mercifully deign

_ to provide for this, the same lord, having been influenced favorably by the prayers of the aforesaid directed his letters, not cancelled, not abolished, , nor erased, nor corrupted in any way, but strengthened with his true wax seal, hanging whole, in full and attached to a cord of thread, to us, , Brother Peter, abbot of the monastery of S. Lorenzo near Trent, and ~ _- Gislembert de Campo, dean of the church of Trent, of which the tenor

, in all details follows in these words. , | ,

_ [A copy of the preceding document follows] - | | |

) Therefore, the aforesaid letters having been received by us, the afore- _ _ said abbot and dean, with due devotion, on the kalends of October

recently elapsed, the said lord legate then, as for a long time afterward, | : exercising the office of legate at Cortona and elsewhere, we caused them os to be read publicly and solemnly by Master Boniohannis of Bologna, | | canon of Trent, in the choir of the greater church of Trent, being present for this nearly all the prelates and rectors of churches, exempt and nonexempt, of the aforesaid city and diocese, inquiring most diligently, from

superabundance, since we are in no wise bound by right or duty, their

198 DOCUMENTS , wishes, namely, what they wished to have done in the premises. And, at length, the aforesaid, or by far the greater and wiser part of them, since nevertheless none was expressly an opponent, finally agreed on this, namely, that we should undertake to proceed efficiently in the premises _ and the business committed to us according to the content of the aforesaid letters, as is fully manifest concerning the aforesaid reading, inquiry of wishes and consent from the writings and deeds legitimately drawn

up about them. | ;

| Therefore, proceeding in this business, we caused to be associated with us, for administering the said business faithfully, suitable persons from the aforesaid clergy, namely, from the exempt, the venerable man, Brother Gislembert of Silesia, of the order of the hospital of St. Mary of the Teutonic house of Jerusalem, preceptor of the house of S. Elisabetta of

Trent of the same order, elected by the non-exempt, and the prudent man, Lord Henry, rural dean of the church of Santa Maria di Calavino of the aforesaid diocese. With whose assistance and advice in all that business, obtaining knowledge through both secular and regular ecclesiastical persons of the aforesaid city and diocese, of the ecclesiastical re-

| sources, rents and revenues of the episcopal income, as well as of the _ cathedral and other churches, and of monasteries, hospitals and other ec- |

| clesiastical places of that city and diocese, we have inquired diligently, so far as it was possible for us, what is the truth concerning these resources and revenues from the prelates and rectors of these churches, monas-

a teries, hospitals and places, and afterward, when all who were interested had been summoned for this purpose and were present, except only a few who whether by inability or intention or carelessness failed to show

themselves, we published the aforesaid inquisition. | , Wishing, therefore, to proceed to the final stages of the business, with the assent of the aforesaid associates, as well as with the counsel of the venerable man, Lord Gualengus of Mantua, priest of the church of Santa Maria of Marling of the aforesaid diocese, of the chapter and the vicargeneral of the church of Trent, the see being vacant, who in all the present

: business helped us and assisted us beneficially with opportune advice, and the opinion of as many more wise ones having been had about the | resources and revenues of the aforesaid churches, monasteries, hospitals and places, the name of God having been invoked, we, sitting as a court, make the assessment and equitable and fitting distribution among the | prelates, parsons, clerks and ministers of those churches, monasteries, hospitals and places, as pertains justly to each, and according to which they are held at present and in future to contribute to the aforesaid proc-

The king, indeed, sent his nuncio to England to the bishops of England in order that he might, by their counsel, answer the nuncios of the lord pope more wisely. They, indeed, congregated in.

self or by other brothers of your order, to whom you may have com- | mitted your®® powers about these things, authority to the aforesaid , archbishops, bishops and abbots that they can compel their subjects by _ a _ the censure of the apostolic Roman church, and also of compelling them similarly by yourself or the said brothers, to contribute to the said aid

328, REPLY OF THE BISHOPS TO THE PAPAL REQUEST FOR A SUBSIDY | {1247. Matthew Paris, Additamenta, p. 144.]

To the most holy, etc. | The religious and discreet man, Brother John, minister of the order -

of the Brothers Minor of Provence, the nuncio of your holiness, who was

sent to the venerable fathers in Christ, the archbishops of Canterbury and York, and their suffragans, brought to us certain apostolic letters which he had concerning credence, enjoining verbally by that authority

| that each of us should make letters obligatory for a certain sum of money | for a subsidy to the apostolic see, in behalf both of ourselves and of the

280 Suas. , |

ecclesiastical men subject to us. We, however, after we had held diligent -

204 DOCUMENTS - | discussion about this, because we considered nevertheless, that, [if] such

, things should happen to be begun with those subjects unconsulted, a | great tumult would be caused—we, perhaps, being reputed to be the robbers of them, and so they would be provoked to rebellion and scandal |

| rather than to the promotion of the said business—we were [not] able to consent to his project without their counsel and assent. Never-

: theless, feeling reverently toward you and your mandates, as is fitting, and being able to obey, as is fitting, the apostolic orders, and to provide for the peace and tranquillity of clergy and kingdom, after deliberation had been had, the common counsel settled on this, namely, that the sum of 11,000 marks should be contributed universally to the said subsidy by the said archbishops and their bishops and subjects, with the exempt

, and three clerks excepted. To this we shall do our best to induce the said subjects, but if by chance we cannot persuade them, which God forbid, each of us will give such an amount of money as the possibility | of his resources permits. However, since, with the exception of the exempt and three clerks, our clergy is immoderately burdened by so large

: a subsidy, we fear that, if any one is excepted from the above-named

— -well,?%! |

subsidy hereafter, the said clergy may not be induced to consent. Fare-

divers parts of Italy. ,

Wherefore, we, thinking deeply that our business is done when its businessis trans- __ acted, confidently provide for its necessities, for supporting which it does not suffice

in itself, to be shown to you, hoping unquestionably that you, as devout and grateful :

210 DOCUMENTS , sons, will open hearts of compassion and piety to that mother, and, for destroying the horns of such great pride and infidelity as the aforesaid heretics and infidels erect against her, will hasten to aid that church with a suitable subsidy, especially because,

oe as we, for our part, have avoided asking for subsidies during all our time, we believe

this to be the first which, asked by us, may be a burden to you. | } : Wherefore we warn, ask and earnestly exhort your university that—the premises having been brought rightly to the service of thought, and particularly having considered diligently that the heresies of heretics and infidels increase with stronger _ malice everywhere in those parts, the divine cult declines, the catholic faith is over- _ whelmed, the liberties and ecclesiastical rights are trampled upon, prelates and also many other distinguished clerks are captured in war and ignominously treated, both religious and other sacred and pious places are despoiled of their possessions and other goods, and, although they are dedicated to the divine cult, are nevertheless appointed to illicit and profane uses, the power of ecclesiastical censure is held in contempt, cities

| and towns with the churches which are built there are burned and destroyed, the security of the roads is violated, travellers are robbed, nor is order, sex or age spared, [and] the heretics are so well defended that in those parts the inquisitors of heretical

| depravity rarely dare to go to places in which it would be expedient for their office to ~ | be exercised against the said heretics—you and each of you liberally extend helping hands so promptly for repressing such presumptuous daring and such perilous heretical excesses and for supporting the load of heavy burdens arising from the premises that, the Lord aiding and your aid helping, such boldness may be repressed, the catholic faith in those parts in which it is known now to be imperiled may be strengthened and, the noxious malice of the heretics having been laid low, the increase of the faithful may be undertaken, and you may be able better to deserve the grace of ourself and the apos-

tolic see. | a

About the aforesaid, moreover, do you will to extend and give undoubting faith to the beloved sons, Peter Guigonis de Castronovo, canon of the church of Langres, and

Although we think it probable that the prelates and ecclesiastical persons, as well

_ person (nevertheless, the cardinals of the holy Roman church, who, about us, serving the universal church, devote themselves to the advantages of individual churches, and the sons of kings, who, on account _ of their sublimity and the fame of their birth, ought to be exalted by the perogative of more potent favor, having alone been excepted) so to be

right of choosing those, when they shall become vacant, within the said , period of time, and the others having been dismissed, of receiving in the

prescribed form and of retaining legally, incurring similar penalties if |

_ they should presume to act contrary to this, our sanction. Moreover, because the vice of avaricious cupidity so blinds the eyes

of some that they presume to retain many such benefices at once, with- | | out canonical dispensation, we enact concerning them, by the present , - decree, that they are held to resign before the ordinary, in word and deed oo and without fraud, under similar public testimony, within the limit of , time as prescribed, all and each of the benefices so detained, retaining only that one which they received last, provided the right in it belongs to’

them by a canonical collation.

cure of souls annexed, if they before held a similar benefice, it (of which , they are known to be deprived by the law itself, after they should have _

{5 July 595. Gregorii I papae registrum epistolarum, edited by Ewald and Hartmann, I, 364, 365.}

Following the old rule of the fathers, I decree that nothing is ever to be accepted for ordinations, or for the giving of the pallium, or for the delivery of the charters or for this new thing by the name of pastellz,*8

, which deceit has discovered through ambition. For, since a priest in ordaining a bishop lays on a hand, and the minister reads the evangelical

, selection, and the notary writes the letter of his confirmation, and as it | is not fitting for a priest to sell the hand which he lays on, so a minister or notary ought not to sell his voice or pen. I, therefore, prohibit him who is to be ordained or is ordained to give anything at all for the ordination,

| or the pallium, or the charters and pastello....If, however, he who should be ordained, not on account of a plea and not having been required or besought, should offer something to each of the clergy in the way of a

gift only, after the charters and pallium have been received, we by no

means forbid this to be accepted, because his oblation, which did not follow from the solicitation of the one receiving, carries no trace of fault. 354. REDUCTION OF THE SUMS DEMANDED OF THOSE SEEKING THE PALLIUM

The method of dividing the five petty services of the camera and the

84 Referendario. ——-* Advocatoribus hostiarii. $8 Cassatas. '

246 DOCUMENTS | In order that those whom it interests and may interest may obtain a | full statement concerning the four services which are owed to the members of the household and to the officials of the Roman pontiff and the

Roman church by prelates promoted in the Roman court and elsewhere by the authority of the highest pontiff, how they ought to be paid and how much each of those services ought to be, and how they ought to be divided in the time of the highest pontiff and also in the time of a vacancy

of the church, and among whom and by whom, I write in the present writing faithfully and clearly, as far as I know and can, as up to these

times I have seen to be observed. ,

| First, it should be noted by all reading the present writing, that each

| prelate who is promoted in the Roman court, namely, patriarch, archbishop, bishop, abbot, and also some priors—and if they should be promoted elsewhere by authority of the highest pontiff—is subject to paying | the common service to the camera and college at a certain time set for him, and the five services, namely, four for the members of the household and the officials of the highest pontiff and of the Roman church, and one

for the members of the household of the lords cardinals of the holy Roman church. Moreover, the lords camerarii of the highest pontiff and the

| Roman church and of the college of the aforesaid cardinals have to receive the promises of these services, namely half for the lord pope and his camera, and the other half for the said college, being present and writ-

, ing, under many penalties and sentences, the clerks and notaries of the

camera, or at least one of them. ,

Of the said five services, each ought to be as much as one of the said cardinals receives for his part from the said service of which promise is made. Concerning the one pertaining to the members of the household of those lords cardinals, how it ought to be divided, is known not to touch me. In the division to be made of the said four services among the members of the household and the officials of the highest pontiff and of the Roman church, however, I assert that the procedure ought to be so. In the first place, the first one of those four services belongs to the lord camerarius of the highest pontiff and the clerks of the camera, to be

, divided by this method, namely, three parts of that service belong to , that lord camerarius and the fourth part belongs to all the clerks of the camera in attendance, or engaged, at the mandate of the highest pontiff, in the transaction of the business of the apostolic see. And that service

receives no change. | | |

The second service of the said four services belongs to the chancery,

REVENUES | 244 which ought to be assigned according to ancient custom to the vice-chancellor, receiving in the name of himself, the notaries, the auditor of con_ tradicted causes and the correctors. Concerning the division to be made

| among them it is not known to the one making assignment. And that |

service receives no change. a =. |

, The third service is so divided. The first half of that third service belongs to the chaplains of the highest pontiff having prebends, which half, indeed, ought to be assigned to the chamberlains of the said chap-

Jains receiving in the name of themselves and their colleagues. Concern- , ing the division to be made among them the assignor does not have to |

intervene. The other half of the said third service belongs to the lesser 7 | members of the household, and, if the highest pontiff is living, is divided __ | in this way, namely: each servant at arms present receives one part, and

the chef receives one part and a half. Each cook of the small and large | kitchen receives one part. The notary of the kitchen receives one part. Each scullion™® of the kitchen receives a half part. Each pantler receives

one part and a half. The notary of the pantry receives one part. Each. ,

marshal of the marshalsea receives one part. Each hostler receives a , half part. The sealing office*“* receives two parts. The servants of the

almoner receive two parts. The lord camerarius receives four parts, not Oo for himself, but for the common officials of the camera. Those four parts,

today, with the permission of the camerarii, the notary who writes the | obligations of common and petty services collects in recompense for the labors of writing the said obligations; namely, the camerarius [has]. for himself [the shares] of a cook, the butlers, the marshal and a pantler.?47 —

Each clerk present receives one part by reason of his labor. And so the | said half of the said third service is divided, if the highest pontiff is alive, : as is said. In the time of vacation, however, the chefs of the little kitchen

[and] the scullions of the little kitchen receive nothing, because their , offices terminate with the decease, but the shares of those participating in , the said half increase, namely, to the servants of arms, four notaries of the

offices, the marshals of the marshalsea, the sealers,*4* the servants of the : almoner, the cooks of the large kitchen, the hostlers, the camera and the

clerks of the camera abovesaid. | ‘The fourth and last service is so divided. If the pope is living a half of

| that fourth service belongs to the squires and couriers of the lord pope, a of which half five parts belong to those squires and the sixth part of that

348 Bulle. Oe :

344 Supra cocus. 3 Brodarius. 58 Bulla. Oe

347 Propria camerarius videlicet coco buticulariis senescallo et paneteria. ,

248 DOCUMENTS , half belongs to the couriers. The other half, if the pope is living, is so divided, namely, a half of that half belongs to the master porters and _ the other half of that half belongs to the lesser porters and the aforesaid — _ chamberlains.*4® And by that mode the said fourth service is divided, if the pope is alive. If the see is vacant, however, the said fourth service in

those portions which pertain to the squires and the lay master porters goes to the camera, because their offices end with the death; the lesser porters, however, and the religious master porters, if there are any, the | couriers and the chamberlains, if they are present, receive their portions, but if any of them are not present, namely, each in his office, he yields that

which touches that office to the said camera. , a

| | Of the aforesaid five services three services were taken away by Lord Boniface VIII, namely the service of the camerarius and clerks, the service of the chancery, and the service of the squires, couriers and chamber-

, lains, master porters and lesser porters, and they were restored by Lord pope Benedict XI, and they are received up to these times. _ And it is to be known, whenever the portion is given to an office, not to the person named, if there should then be in that office only one official __ present, that one present receives all which would belong to all of that

office, if they were present.

The merchants, moreover, were accustomed to receive and divide the _ aforesaid services through* the clerks of that camera. For it is the custom of the chancery to assign a schedule with the names of the prelates

and the amount of the payments. . , | .

Moreover, that it may be known more fully concerning the consecrations of prelates, which are celebrated at any time in the Roman court, who are the participants in them, who have to pay, and how their obventions ought to be divided, as I have seen to be observed, I write on the

, present page. :

First, each prelate, namely patriarch, archbishop, or bishop, who is

consecrated in the Roman court, or near the Roman court with the license of the highest pontiff, is held by ancient custom to give the horse which

he rides when he, consecrated, goes forth from the church, and the white |

cover which the said horse carries. , | Item, he is held to give the cope,*** which the consecrated carries on the day of his consecration, and with which he is consecrated.

| Item, he is held to give one of the silver basins,*? with which the water is given to him when he is consecrated, and the towel.** 349 Cubiculariorum. 350 Per, 351 Pluviale.

, 32 Basilibus. 353 Tobolea.

| REVENUES 240 | If, on the other hand, any abbot is blessed in the said places, he is held _ | | to give the horse and cope and cover as above; he is not held to the basin ; a because on that day the basins are not used in his benediction. | The said services, indeed, if the said consecrations or benedictions are

made in the City, are divided so. They make of them three parts, one of which belongs to the camerarius of the highest pontiff and the clerks ~ of the camera. The second belongs to the servants at arms. The third belongs to the keepers of the napery,**4 the office of which keepers of the

- napery receives nothing from those without the City. If indeed the said — - penedictions and consecrations are made without the City, they are divided so, namely, one-half of these services belongs to the camerarius , and the clerks of the camera, and the other half belongs to the servants

at arms. The half accruing to the camerarius and the aforesaid clerks, indeed, is so divided: each clerk has one part and.the camerarius has

four parts, namely for four clerks. | | ,

a By divine mercy, Arnold, bishop of Albano, camerarius of the lord pope, and Berengar, bishop of Porto and S. Rufina, camerarius of the | sacred college of the lords cardinals of the holy Roman church, to the venerable father, Lord Peter, bishop of Senlis, greeting in the Lord.

We do not believe your paternity to be ignorant how prelates, who are | , promoted by the apostolic see, pay their respects, like grateful sons, to our lord highest pontiff and the sacred college of lords cardinals and their

- households gratefully and liberally, according to the resources of the

churches committed to them, and make a present to them with liberal — |

| hand in common service, from which by ancient custom none is found excluded at any time, and in order that the lords may have abundance as often as they are in need. You, however, now long since promoted graciously by the apostolic see to the church of Senlis, are found to have |

had remembrance of this service neither in word nor in deed; but thus , far we have suffered patiently, hoping that you would consult your

, honor by yourself atoning for the delay contracted by an increase of the | service to be paid. Because, indeed, we cannot further pass over the aforesaid in silence, with credit to the office committed to us, as indeed , , we ought not, informed most fully concerning the revenues of the bishopric of Senlis, we require your paternity, and by the tenor of the present, |

| canonical warning having been set forth, warn, and moreover strictly oo order and command you, by the authority which we exercise in this

matter, under penalties of suspension from the administration of the © - spiritualities and temporalities of your bishopric and from the execution

, of pontifical functions and of the greater excommunication and under

256 DOCUMENTS all other penalties contained fully in the contracts of prelates who oblige _

, themselves for these services,** all and each of which we will you to

incur thereby, if you scorn to obey this, our mandate, that hereafter at the next festival of St. John the Baptist, which term we have caused , to be assigned to you peremptorily, you cause to be paid in full, wherever the Roman court may be, 1,500 gold florins for common service of the camera of our lord highest pontiff and the said college and 144 gold florins for 5 services of their households, to us receiving for the said camera and college and households; so conducting yourself in the premises that we can commend you for diligent obedience therein to our lord and the lords

cardinals, and we may not be forced, which God forbid, to proceed to graver things against you about these things. For protection, moreover, we have caused the present letters to be enregistered. Concerning their

ST. ALBANS AND THE EXPENSES CONNECTED THEREWITH oe {1326. Gesta abbatum monasterii Sancti Albani, edited by Riley, II, 186-191.}

After Lord Richard de Wallynforde, having been so elected, was led , to the church with fear and reverence, he, as is fitting, is placed before

the great altar, and by Brother Richard de Paxtone, archdeacon, the ,

election is announced to the people. ... , oo

_ And because mention is made concerning the expenses about the con- | , firmation of the election, you ought to know that, when the elect crossed

- on the way to the court with three chaplains, electors and witnesses of the election, namely, Brother Nicholas, prior of Hertford, Brother Richard, archdeacon, and Brother Richard Trenge, and with one man

at arms, and one clerk, and one dealer in salt, seven horses all told, and Oo at our expense two other clerks remaining for their own affairs in our

258 DOCUMENTS > | , group, from the day of St. Clement**4 up to the Monday after the festival of the circumcision, which was on II nones January,®® on which day in ~ the morning he came to the court of Avignon, he spent in all £15 16s. $

| d. of sterlings. The clear sum, indeed, of all expenses from that day of St. Clement up to the fourteenth of the kalends of May,*® on which day he came to his manor of Croxley, with the common visitation of the pope and cardinals, and the damages and interest. of merchants for a loan, was

, £953 10s. 11 d. And this is the true sum of all expenses in full, with all gifts and presents, in going and returning, and in other expenses; as appears through the paper of account. After the form of election was read, indeed, the elect was called, and on account of certain defects found in the decree, the lord pope sought by three cardinals that our elect should freely and willingly renounce

the right, if he had any, into the hands of the pope... . , After many difficulties, therefore, and for avoiding greater perils he renounced his election with the addition of this condition, namely, that the lord pope would well provide that monastery with a good pastor and

7 restore the elect to the state and grade which he possessed in the monastery on the day before his election. Deliberation, therefore, having been had with the cardinals concerning the state of the monastery and the person of the elect, the lord pope - immediately said: “And we provide that person with the said monastery

and confirm him.” ...

Moreover, the courtiers cited him that he should appear before the camerarius of the college and the camerarius of the lord pope for compounding about the tax of our monastery. To which he answered that

he knew nothing about any tax; except only about an ounce of gold which in each year, in the name of exemption, we paid to the said court.*°”

To whom they said: “Be silent, because we speak of the tax which is owed for visitation in the name of the vacancy, which we find in our register 720 marks, which is in florins 3,600, computing five florins for a - mark.’ And they showed to him the register written in paper 720 marks

for the house of St. Albans, compelling that he say nothing more. At length they made him swear, touching the Holy Gospels, that he would pay, at the constituted terms, the said sum, and fulminated the sentence

And the abbot rejoiced greatly that | the tax of our monastery had been reduced to this sum, because he had a | been informed by those who had before gone with his predecessors to the court that the tax had been much greater. Wherefore, because it is evident | that those of the court do not have certain evidence concerning the tax of our monastery, it will be possible for a successor in the pastoral care,

if he should be requisitioned for the tax, to answer that it is less and that |

the Abbot Richard protested against the tax which was imposed on him. a | But because the pope provided him with the abbacy, he did not dare to persist in the protest; because those who were of his counsel asserted -

_ that the courtiers, if they wish, can tax our monastery anew at will, because it was vacant and was collated from the gift of the pope. Whence | it was thought that that yoke had been so lamentably imposed on his predecessor Hugh; for when he delayed in England beyond the time fixed by law, he lost all in the favor of the pope; by reason of which they taxed

him at will. oo . | ,

CHARGED AGAINST HIS CHURCH |

1327. The Register of John de Grandisson, bishop of Exeter, edited by Hingeston-Randolph, I, 323-325.]

Thereafter,*°8 indeed, when that Lord John, bishop of Exeter, arranged

: to transfer himself to his church of Exeter, with the goodwill of the pope and the sacred college of cardinals, he learned from the relation of certain ones that his said church was obliged by the action of another bishop of __ Exeter,*? promoted in the Roman court in the time of Lord Pope Boniface VIII of happy memory, in the year of the Lord 1297, and the renewal of the obligation made by James, the immediate predecessor of that Lord John,?”° also promoted in the court, for the payment of the service of the camera of the lord pope in 10,000 florins, and for the other services 1,800 florins, and that the same Lord Bishop John ought necessarily to renew

that obligation also in his person; on account of which the same Lord Bishop John, wishing to provide perpetual indemnity rather for the said __ church of Exeter than for his person, caused and obtained—with the passage, however, of a long time and with great difficulty—this intolerable burden of the payment of the aforesaid service first to be set forth in a process*” by the reverend father, Lord James, cardinal deacon with the

title of S. Giorgio in Velabro, in consistory, before the lord pope and

| the college of cardinals, and immediately to be petitioned that about this the lord pope would deign to provide an opportune remedy. __ . But the reverend father, Lord Peter, cardinal priest by the title of S. Susanna, camerarius of the said college, opposing himself inconsiderately to this process and petition, asserted that the aforesaid obligation had been repeated many times, as he said was found in the registers of the camera, both in the time of Lord Pope Clement V of happy memory and in the time of the aforesaid Lord Pope Boniface VIII, and opposed especially lest the said petition have its effect then, and caused the said

, Lord Bishop John to be summoned to his presence for paying this service. That Lord Bishop John appearing before him and asked by him through

, Lord Peter, the aforesaid cardinal, that about the payment of the said , 368 Namely, after his papal provision to the see of Exeter. 369 Thomas de Byttone, 1292-1307. | 870 James de Berkeley, 1327. 371 Querelam.

REVENUES _ | 261 service he would swear his corporal oath, the same Lord Bishop John © openly and expressly refused him this thing; offering himself, however, as | , prepared to undertake the burden of the payment of the abovesaid serv-

ice, namely, of a third part of the assessment of the revenues of his | : | bishopric, as by ancient custom had been done previously by those pro- _

-Andmoted at the apostolic see. | | | because the said lord cardinal refused, contrary to justice, to grant | - an audience and hear that Lord Bishop John about this, the same Lord —

Bishop John, placing faith in Blessed Mary, the mother of grace, and in his justice, on account of the great reluctance of the said Lord Cardinal Peter, did not cease from the prosecution of his right in this matter, al-

though several reverend cardinal fathers, priests and other learned men, ,

, wondering at the pursuing of so great an action, or rather despairing , about its happy outcome, persuaded and counseled that Lord Bishop |

John continually to desist. ,

But recurring to the aforesaid lord pope a second time, he himself

related to him orally in a process the seriousness of the said burden, | | showing him articles reduced to writing, by which he offered to prove for his information by witnesses worthy of faith, present in the court, that the aforesaid Lord Cardinal Peter had replicated against the petition ©

proposed on his part against good sense and badly and unjustly; as well i | as that the church of Exeter in all the time of the Lord Pope Boniface VIII,

and continuously before and after, up to the time of Lord James, his

immediate predecessor, had been filled with bishops elected in those |

parts by the chapter and canons of the church of Exeter, and confirmed , and consecrated by metropolitan authority by the archbishops of Canter-

bury existing contemporaneously. - oo | |

‘ Wherefore, the said lord pope, wishing to minister justice about the

things sought, himself told in consistory how the weight of the said burden and the fact had recently been shown to him by that Lord Bishop ~

| John contrary to the replication propounded by Lord Cardinal Peter and | with prompt proof to be made; and he ordered the said Lord Cardinal , Peter and Arnold, archbishop of Arles, camerarii of himself and the col— lege, that, the registers of the camera having been inspected, they should

-compound with that Bishop John in a friendly and open manner and | should give to him full justice.

By the authority of this mandate, indeed, the aforesaid camerarii, ten witnesses worthy of faith having been produced before them on the part of the said Lord Bishop John for proving the fulness of the church of Exeter in all the time of Lord Pope Boniface VIII, in which a certain bishop

: 262 DOCUMENTS. | of Exeter was said to have been promoted in the court, and they having

, been admitted, those camerarii, the examination about the said fulness having been omitted lest they and the registers be notably convicted of mendacity, examined the witnesses produced, only about the value of the bishopric of Exeter; and, they having been examined, the said Lord

, Cardinal Peter in consistory, his colleague, the camerarius of the lord pope being absent, made a less true relation; namely, himself to have discovered by the witnesses of the said lord bishop and several merchants following the Roman court that the bishopric of Exeter had been and was |

Oo worth 3,000 marks. , | On account of which the said lord pope and the cardinals, having followed his iniquitous tale, assessed the said church of Exeter and its bishop

for paying therein, when it should happen to be vacant in the court, for the service of the camera 5,000 florins, namely, five florins having been computed for each mark; and they ordered and caused the accustomed oath to be sworn by that Lord Bishop John, present at the court on the ~

ninth day of the month of December, for his similar service. | The form, indeed, of the obligation and oath sworn by him is as follows:

, Obligation for paying the service of the camera. — |

| Tn the year of the Lord 1327, on the ninth day of the month of December, the reverend father and lord, Lord John, bishop of Exeter, promised to pay at the Roman court to the camera of our lord pope and to the college of 14 cardinals, for his common service 5,000 florins and the five accustomed services of the households; namely, one half on a year from the next festival of the resurrection of the Lord?” and the other half at the following festival of the resurrection when the year has rolled around; otherwise to return to the Roman court within four months and not to depart thence until full satisfaction shall have been given for the said money. And he swore on the Holy Evangels of God, the book having been touched by him corporally, to pay the aforesaid sum of money in full at the abovesaid place and times. For holding and observing which he obliged himself, his successors, and the present and future movable and immovable

: goods of himself and his said bishopric; submitting himself specially to the jurisdiction of the abovesaid two camerarii of the lord pope and the college; the same lord bishop, moreover, extending to himself the jurisdiction of these lords camerarii, so that if he should not pay the aforesaid

sum of money at the abovesaid place and times, or should not return to” , the court, as is said, he would know himself to have incurred the sentences

In the year of the Lord 1324, on the twenty-first day of the month of

August. And it is to be known that, when it is called into doubt between

: 264 DOCUMENTS . | the lords camerarii whether priors of conventual priories, who were ac-

: customed to be appointed by election, when they should be provided with the said priories by the apostolic see, should be held to the common

| service, the most holy father and lord, our Lord Pope John XXII declared

, in consistory that from priors of exempt conventual priories common service should be exacted as from other prelacies; from others not exempt,

, however, common service ought not to be exacted. In the year of the Lord 1331, on the fourth day of the month of Sep-— tember, the most reverend father, Lord Peter, cardinal priest of the title of S. Prassede, camerarius of the sacred college of the lords cardinals, _ ordered us, Michael Ricomanni and G. Judici, his clerk and the clerk of the aforesaid college, that we should write in the registers what had been ordained in consistory that day, so that if any prelacy should be provided by the apostolic see and the same prelacy should again be vacant within a year computed from the time of the said provision, and provision should again be made to it within that year, then the successor should be held to one service. Otherwise, if the vacancy and provision followed again after

the year, or even if the vacancy within a year and the provision aftera _

| year, then the aforesaid successor ought to oblige himself for the prede-

cessor and for himself. , ,

In the year of the Lord 1332, on the ninth day of the month of January, our lord highest pontiff ordained and declared in consistory that if to any cathedral or regular church provision should happen to be made by the

apostolic see, and it should appear that the predecessor or prelate follow- : ing before in that church should be obliged in anything to the camera and college by reason of common service promised by him and not paid, and the terms should not yet have elapsed, that, since such obligation should be real, that one who should happen to be provided with such a church should be held to recognize, and to promise that he would pay and to pay that which should be found to remain to be paid of the said ~ common service by the predecessor or the one who preceded the successor in the said church. See on the following page a certain modification?” In the same year on the fourth day of the month of February. Whereas

| our lord highest pontiff on the fourth day of the month of September last past declared and ordained, among other things, that, if any prelacy should be provided by the apostolic see and again that prelacy should be vacant within that year computed from the time of the said provision, and one should be provided with it within that year, then the successor would be held to one service; but, because it often happens that such |

| 373 Namely, the ruling of 1334, below. _

| , | REVENUES 265 prelates by the death or translation of whom the church is vacant have paid a certain part of the common service promised by them, it was called —

into doubt, on account of the above placed one, whether the successor , should be held for recognizing only that sum which remained to be paid

by the predecessor or the one preceding the successor or to promise and |

_ pay the full service. Which said doubt having been explained in consis- | _ tory to our lord pope by the reverend father, Lord Peter, cardinal priest of the title’ of S. Prassede and camerarius of the sacred college of lords

cardinals, our aforesaid lord pope on the aforesaid day declared that , - notwithstanding that provision be made twice within that year, and that | the predecessor or one preceding had paid some part of the service promised by him, that the successor, nevertheless, is bound to promise and pay full service, that sum having been computed in the said service | which remained of the common service to be paid by his predecessor or the one preceding the successor, and the remainder for himself. _ In the year of the Lord 1334, in the month of March, our lord highest |

pontiff, with the will and consent of the lords cardinals, ordained in con- a __ sistory that, after any prelate promoted by the apostolic see possesses the church or monastery committed to him through a year after the obli- |

gation made by him for his common service, if after that year he should | seek and obtain a delay of paying the common service promised by him or part of it, and during the delay he should be transferred to another _ church or monastery, that, thereupon, the obligation made by him for _ his abovesaid common service should be deemed to be personal, and he

| should be bound for paying it as before this translation; where, however, |

in any case arising from such a one so translated the said common serv- , | ice, or that which remains of it to be paid, cannot be recovered, the said —

first church or monastery would remain obliged for paying the aforesaid. , - On the tenth day of the month of January, in the third year of the pontificate of our lord pope, Urban V (1365), the same lord, our pope,

said to me, Arnold, archbishop of Auch, his camerarius, ordained and , decreed that conventual priories, to which it should be provided by the oo apostolic see, should pay to the apostolic camera of our lord pope annates and not common service, notwithstanding the aforesaid declaration or

-_ ordinance,?”* against which and from certain knowledge he ordained. , ,

Peter, by divine mercy bishop of Porto and S. Rufina, and Gasbert, archbishop of Arles, camerarii of the college of the reverend fathers, the lords cardinals of the holy Roman church, and of the lord pope, to the venerable and religious man, lord . . abbot of the monastery of S. Sophia

in Benevento, greeting in the Lord. ,

Long ago the venerable men, the canons of the church of Monte Morano,

: caused to be shown to our lord highest pontiff, that they, wishing to pro, vide with a pastor that aforesaid church of Monte Morano, destitute of the solace of a pastor by the death of Barbalus of good memory, formerly

| bishop of Monte Morano, proceeded to such an election. At length two elections to it were celebrated in discord at different times, namely, one of the venerable man, Angelo Audini, a canon of that church, by all the canons then present in the said church and asserting themselves to make the chapter in it, and the other not in the said church or its diocese, but at Montefusco in the diocese of Benevento, by certain ones pretending

mendaciously to be canons of that church, of Peter, archpriest of the church of Planisio of the said diocese of Benevento, to which elections of themselves so celebrated the aforesaid Angelo and Peter gave consent.

| And, although proctors of that Angelo and of those electing him appeared before the reverend father in Christ, Lord. . bishop of Sant’ Agata de’ Goti, vicar general of the reverend father in Christ, Lord . . archbishop of Benevento, the metropolitan of the place, they did not so

| | consent to him as for his judgment, but for representing why they de- | servedly held him suspect for legitimate reasons. The bishop, however, maliciously forestalling this representation, committed the hearing and also the terminating of the case of these elections to Stefano, prior of S. Andrea of Benevento, who proceeded in this cause, with neglect of judicial forms,” and confirmed, by metropolitan authority, the election of

| the said Peter, defectively celebrated. Finally, appeal was made in behalf of the said canons electing the said Angelo and of that Angelo to the apostolic see, [and] our lord highest pontiff was humbly petitioned that

| he would, with paternal affection, have sympathy for the poverty of that |

upon his mind, among the multiple and immense. cares in which he is continually troubled and disturbed, by the assiduity of meditation, that , fruitful and advantageous provision for empty churches and monasteries

, should take place, with the counsel of his brothers, by apostolic writings, | | commits to you, concerning the industry of whose circumspection and fidelity he has full faith, and commands that, after you have summoned | those who ought to be summoned, you diligently inquire the truth concern- , _ ing the method of the aforesaid elections, and the conditions of the elec-

tors, and whether they who proceeded to these elections were canons and , _ should have had a voice in the election, and the merits of the elect, and _ take care to confirm that one of them which you find canonically celebrated and. of a person canonically suitable, as you will see these and

_ other things to be contained more fully in apostolic letters. a | However, because prelates who are promoted by the said see or con- |

firmed by its authority, as we do not believe you are unaware, by a laud- Oo able custom observed from antiquity, are held to pay their respects with — jiberal hand, according to the resources of their churches or monasteries,

to the camera of our lord pope and the aforesaid college and also to the | members of the households both of our lord pope and of the aforesaid ,

lords cardinals in a certain subvention of a temporal subsidy, which is | called common service and the five services of the members of the house- | hold, the duty of our office presses us that he whose election you shall ,

happen to confirm be induced, immediately after his confirmation, to a , observe this custom. Wherefore, by the tenor of the present we commit, , and, by the authority which we exercise, command. you, that from him whose election you shall have caused to be confirmed by apostolic authority, ,

immediately after that confirmation, established before you for the first time , , a by himself or a proctor legitimately constituted for this purpose, so that he , may have full and free power from the highest father in Christ and our lord | highest pontiff and the aforesaid see for obliging for each and all of the things written below himself, and his successors and the church of Monte

Morano, movable and immovable goods, present and future, as well as | | of submitting and becoming subject to the method and form which is | expressed below, you take care, after information has been received by

means of a diligent and expert inquisition concerning each and all of the | fruits, rents, revenues of the aforesaid church of Monte Morano, and of all obventions belonging to the bishop of Monte Morano and arising

, common service also the five services of the members of the households : and of the officials of our lord pope and the aforesaid lords cardinals, , which will come to be declared at the time of payment according to the

rate of that common service.

hereafter command him, in our name, after a warning that he has

, acknowledged the debt, that he arrange to pay without any difficulty, at the said place and time, the amount of that third part of the money together with the five services of the members of the households and of the

, officials of our lord pope and the aforesaid lords cardinals condemning him to it, moreover, by means of sentences, and thereafter, if he should fail in | , payment of the aforesaid at the aforesaid place and time, do you promulgate against him, who seeks expressly, penalties and sentences of the greater excommunication, interdict from entry of a church, suspension

from the administration of the spiritualities and temporalities of the aforesaid church and from the execution of the pontifical office, as well as of interdict against the said church, which he knows himself to have

incurred by letting the aforesaid term fixed for him slip by with this payment not made. Beyond this, also, he will oblige to the camera, college and abovesaid members of the household, by solemn stipulation, — all and each of the goods of himself, his successors the future bishops of

of them, we shall proceed against that church and the aforesaid goods by , public announcement of the said penalties and sentences, and other worse _ | ones, without other waiting or knowledge of the cause, as the temerity of

issue against you in writing sentences of suspension from the adminis- , , tration of the spiritualities and temporalities of your abbacy, and of the , execution of pontifical powers, if you have any, and of the greater excommunication, and of interdict upon the church of your said monastery,

warning and notifying your lordship about proceeding against you, and | 7 without any citation, to such more serious penalties and spiritual and temporal sentences as may please and seem expedient to them.

or to come against them. _ : 7

, If, indeed, you should happen to die (as we hope not) or to be trans- a ferred before the said lords camerarii or their deputy or deputies, or their |

successors in the said office, should be fully satisfied for the aforesaid sums _- , of money, and the one who may happen to be substituted in the govern-

| ment of the aforesaid monastery should not take care to satisfy the said

lords camerarii or their successors for those sums within four months , after that substitution made in the administration of that monastery,

you will that the said lords of the camera place upon and promulgate | against him those sentences, and you will that concerning all the afore-

_ ASSESSMENT AND LEVY OF ANNATES AND SERVITIA | | _ {After 1470. Extract from a Liber taxarum which is Codex F XLVI,—1471, MS © , Sessorian. 46 in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale Vittorio Emanuele in Rome, as a

edited by Kirsch in Historisches Jahrbuch, IX, 304-311.]} , | |

| (I) There are two kinds of apostolic bulls: one concerning benefices _ non-consistorial and not assessed in the book of the camera; and from , , | these, if they exceed the annual value of 24 ducats, annates are paid. They are the half part of the fruits of one year according to the statement

~ of the value made in the bull. From such annates it was customary from _ the beginning for some remission to be made at the discretion of the pontiffs and the treasurers.. But since the institutions of offices to which some __ |

portion of the annates is assigned, they are paid without any grace.

Actual payment of such annates should be made on release of the bull, | | except in the cases written below, namely, when mention is made of intrusion, or if intrusion is proved otherwise, or if deprivation is committed in

legal form ;3* item, and also when the camera, the said impediments ceas- , ing, was accustomed to send the bulls sealed with the seal of the treas- — __urer to some trustworthy person with the condition, that, either he pay annates within such a time, or restore those bulls sealed with that seal, | and this when the camera knows those seeking not to have money at the __

| court, and it is asserted that they can conveniently give satisfaction else- | where; item, when the open bulls are released to the party under the un- | conditional promise of a banker for a certain time, or with the promise of _

another official or another person suitable in trust and resources. Beyond 7 the mountains a term of six months is customarily given : this side of the mountains three months, or two or one as shall seem best to the lord clerk of the month, provided the term does not extend beyond the obtaining of

, possession; and “peaceful” is not added, because, whenever he receives

possession, he is held to annates. — |

An acquittance fee, which is paid for benefices owing annates, belongs

to the lord treasurer, and is commonly paid for an acquittance. _ (II) The other kind of benefice bulls is about provisions of cathedral, —

: metropolitan and patriarchal churches and also of abbatial monasteries, | |

| all of which are ordinarily found assessed in the book of the camera. | - And if a bull comes to the camera about some monastery not assessed, or | which should not be found in the old books of the camera or college, to which recourse is had, if it should be worth more than 100 [ducats], which |

898 In forma iuris. — |

, 290 DOCUMENTS can be known from the process of the cardinal recorder, it is assessed at a third part of the value and is described anew in the book of the camera.

If, however, it should be worth less than too it is issued for annates.

| If one worth more than this is in a reduced country,**” what it is ascertained to be worth is written as above in the book, but two third © parts will be written.®°* The tax noted in the book of the camera, © which is paid, is called common, not moreover, annates. The reason is,

because it is not the pope’s alone, as were the annates of benefices from the beginning, but it is common to the pope and the cardinals and is divided equally among them, namely half to the pope and the

rata. | Oe , other half only to the college of cardinals to be divided among them pro

Oe Note (1) that the book of assessments is looked at and by that it is regulated whether the monasteries are expedited by consistory or by writ;°9? not moreover by the expressed value, since in consistorial [grants]

oo it is never expressed; in those obtained by writ,®®® moreover, the assessment is expressed; but in either case recourse is had to the book for

| (2) When, in monasteries in which a diminution of fruits is proved, , | the camera exacts as much as is expressed, nevertheless the accustomed obligation should be made according to the assessment, and afterward a marginal note*”? should be made, that for this time only, by the command of the pope and the college, namely, of the camerarius of the pope and of the college, it pays so much with the remission of the remainder.

(III) In the consistorial and the assessed there are paid beyond the common services the fees** written below, namely: The sacra, which is five for each hundred. ° The subdeacon; this is a third part of the sacra and separate from the

sacra and in addition to it. Of the sacra the sergeants at arms have one-half, the camerarius alone a fourth part, and the remaining fourth part all the lords clerks together. Item, the small service of the camera*™ is paid, namely, a fourteenth part of the half of the common service; of this small service three quar-

ters belong to the camerarius alone and the remaining quarter part to

| the clerks of the camera together. , , Item, three other small services are paid corresponding to all the officlals of the court sharing in the small services, as in the bull of Euge-

397 Namely, France. — :

Item, a fifth small service is paid, and that belongs to the college of

---_Ttem, two acquittance fees are paid. Of these, one is made by the

, camerarius of the pope, and that emolument is divided between the | camerarius for half, and the other half belongs to the lords clerks. In that acquittance is included the common service of the pope, the sacra, the small service of the camera, and the other three small services of the officials; and it is assessed in this manner, namely, from 1 florin up to 100

is assessed at 1 ducat, from 100 up to 500 is assessed at 2 florins, from 500 | up to 1,000 exclusive is assessed at 3 florins, at 1,000 is assessed at 4 florins, from 1,000 up to 1,100 is assessed at 5 florins, from 1,100 up to — | , 1,500 is assessed at 6 florins, and so it is augmented as above up to the

first thousand; thus, so that, if it includes more thousands, for each

_ thousand there is an assessment of 4 florins. The remainder as above. And because the acquittance fees are paid together with the small services

_ [and] the sacra to the depositary,“ therefore the keeper of the seal of the most reverend lord camerarius does not receive the fee for the seal,

as he does from other expeditions, at only one grossus. There is another | acquittance; it is made by the camerarius of the college of cardinals, in | which is included the common services of the college and one small

service of the said college, and it is assessed as above. (IV) All churches and monasteries of whatever provinces are expedited according to the rule abovewritten except the kingdom of France, which

, is called a reduced country. Its churches and monasteries pay only half | of the assessment, so that for assessments at 1,000 they pay 5oo.Andin __ a these reduced cases the sacra and the subdeacon are paid regularly accord-

ing to the full assessment, the small services, the acquittance fees and | - _ the common services, however, according to the reduction. (V) The clerk of the month, without whose decree the bulls of churches

and monasteries are not released, ought not to give the bulls to the party , unless three schedules or evidences of payment are shown to him: one | , of the depositary of the pope giving evidence of the payment of the common service of the pope; another of the depositary of the college giving ee evidence of the payment of the common and small service and of the acquittance fee of the college; the third of the depositary of the officials

And similarly for monasteries.

Note (x) that formerly neither the sacra nor the subdeacon was paid by the protected* monasteries. In the time of Lord Sixtus, however, it was decreed consistorially that payment ought to be made and so it

is done. | | | |

| (2) Item, note that a bishop promoted once, if on the first promotion he had paid the sacra and subdeacon, when translated toa greater church once or more times, did not pay more for the sacra and subdeacon; afterward he began to pay for the increase; for example, if the first church was assessed at 1,000 and the second, to which he was transferred, was assessed at 2,000, he paid for the thousand in excess; the same is done

in abbatial cases. , ,

(3) The abbot promoted from an abbey to a bishopric, however, paid

all fees in full, because payment for the sacra of benediction does not

, free from the sacra of consecration; and the abovewritten is to be under| stood concerning the sacra and the subdeacon only, because the remainder

are paid without any deduction. |

| (4) If the abbot of one monastery is transferred from his monastery | | to another with retention of the first in commendam, the common services and the remaining fees are paid from each, even if it should be stated in the bull that he is judged not to vacate the one retained in commendam.

, Not so however, if another monastery is commended in title without

(VI) The clerk of the month was accustomed to make a folio at the -

end of each month directed to the most reverend lord camerarius, in | | which were described all churches and monasteries expedited for the — oo - month, and he joined the folio with the book of the depositary of the | ' officials, so that thus the lord camerarius saw the expeditions at a glance,

_ The clerks of the camera have the emoluments written below, namely, _ | a fourth part of the sacra, a fourth part of the small service, a half of the |

| portions. ;

acquittance fees of churches and monasteries. Item, two-thirds of the obligations of annates, and division should be made among them in equal | |

_. (VII) There are said to be two kinds of benefice bulls, and the general

rules about each kind are noted. To the abovewritten should be added: | | (1) That annates were not paid formerly from benefices of the City, from a certain special privilege, or because the pope is the ordinary in a these, giving an example to other ordinaries. Nevertheless, necessities

| arising, it was introduced that from the benefices of the City it is paid | in the same manner as from others of other places; that 1s, from those

which the pope confers, or from benefices of the titular cardinals, if , about these a new provision is issued; and this began in the time of Pius.

_ (2) The benefices of nuns, of whatever order or annual value they are, . | are not held to annates; only from monasteries in which abbesses are i—iwts appointed perpetual heads is paid for a surplice,*°’ not however for _ |

407 Rochetto. | Oo :

204 DOCUMENTS annates, at the rate of 5 or 6 for each hundred. From the office of a temporary abbess nothing is paid. | | | , (3) In exchanges of benefices** either they are equal or unequal. If |

equal, annates are not due, but an oath is exacted concerning that equal- , ity; if unequal, annates are paid from the excess. Note that in commended benefices exchange does not happen, because concerning them

it is not called resignation, but cession of the commendam; and if by chance the bulls should be drawn up under the words of assignment by

reason of exchange, annates ought to be exacted. We say the same if |

commendam. _

one resigns what he has in title, and the other cedes what he has in , (4) Also if a benefice consistorially assessed is resigned with a pension

, reserved to the one resigning or ceding, he to whom it is provided or commended gives satisfaction for the annates or common service and other fees, and nothing is sought from the pensioner. We say the same in the cession of a cathedral church, about which a pension was not estab- |

| lished for the one ceding. If, however, a pension is assigned to any one on any benefice to the effect of a commendam, and such a pension should be cameral, that is, it is on the fruits of a benefice the value of which exceeds 24 [ducats], such a pensioner pays annates. Item, if, no cause stop-

_ping, a cameral pension is assigned to any one with the consent of the , holder of the benefice, annates are paid. If one should be provided with a cameral benefice, and within a year a pension on it is assigned to any

one, the pensioner is not held for annates. | , |

| (5) If the same benefice should have been vacated twice in the same , year and the first seeking should have paid, nothing was sought from the second; but it is sought if the first should have had the harvest or the

| vintage of the fruits, and in that case it is exacted from the second. (6) Formerly cameral benefices, even if several should be expedited in the same bull, did not pay annates; afterward it was introduced that

| from several benefices, even if each taken by itself should not be cameral, if all together exceed the value of 24 [ducats], annates are exacted for , the whole value resulting from several, as if it should be one benefice.

If, however, the pope should provide one with several non-cameral , , benefices in the same way, and about them should be issued several bulls, |

is sought. : | :

not any one containing benefices amounting to the value of 24, nothing

| (7) By titular bishops an obligation should be made in the camera and

408 Beneficii. , : :

it is described in the book of obligations of other consistorial provisions,

| | | REVENUES 208 : but nothing is paid except to the depositary of the pope for an instrument, *°® from whom he receives a schedule to be presented to the clerk

of the month, ro florins. Oo

- Item, to the depositary of the officials for.an acquittance one florin,

which is divided between the camerarius and the clerks as above. For.

, common service, sacra, subdeacon and small services nothing is paid. _ | , And note that it is not customary for any one to be promoted toa titular | bishopric, unless he obtains benefices of 200 ducats or there is assigned to him a pension of 200 on the episcopal mensal income or on the other benefices of him to whose service he is promoted and whom he ought to

serve as a coadjutor for the benefices and pensions which he obtained or , are reserved for him, and if from those he should have paid annates before, he is held to pay again, because they are vacant by promotion,

even if it should be said in the bull by the pope, ‘‘we decree not to be , vacant;”’ for that saying in favor of the party ought not to be turned | back to the disadvantage of the camera, since from the promotion would have followed a true vacancy of the benefices obtained. Similarly, he is _ held to pay if a pension is assigned to him not obtaining benefices. The |

| clerk of the month observes lest he liberate from the camera the bulls of , | such titular bishops, because in that connection he should see the bulls of the reservation of the benefices or pension, lest the camera should be defrauded in annates; and he should see the consistorial schedule, so that

he may learn from its tenor what is to be done. , | | Also, if the titular bishops should wish to have themselves consecrated

in the court, the expedition of the bulls and the pledge of the payment , ! of the fees should be seen, and then the mandate should be made for7 mally by the notary of the camera, and it was signed by the clerk in these words, “He gave satisfaction”° for the fees of the apostolic camera. N. clerk of the apostolic camera.” But the clerk should not act, unless he is satisfied about the truth of the thing. But if by chance any banker should have promised freely to give satisfaction at some short tite, [and] the clerk should have admitted the promise, he writes so, ‘“He gave

— satisfaction*" for the fees of the camera.” Item, it is said concerning

_ abbots wishing to be blessed at the court. Such a mandate is sealed with |

the small seal of the camera. Oo

(8) The rule is that annates are not paid from expectative or spiritual _ | reservations and an obligation is not made, unless the expectatives or

_ reservations are extended to reserved benefices, and then an obligation _ | : _ should be made for paying annates in the event of the accomplishment , )

, 409 Pro baliste. 110 Satisfectt. | ‘“Satisdedit, | ,

296 , | DOCUMENTS | | of reservations of this sort, at six months after the execution with ultra-

montanes, at three or two months with cismontanes. , (9) Holders of a faculty resigning benefices without the court, simply or because of promotion, into the hands of any ordinary collator or of

another established in an ecclesiastical dignity ought to oblige them- |

| selves to certify to the camera within a certain period as above and to |

pay annates, if this faculty should be used. , |

| (10) Cardinals ordinarily are not held to pay anything to the camera

either for all of the churches and monasteries or for annates of benefices

, or pensions, and this is understood of cardinals present in the curia, for the absent, who after their assumption were not in the court and have not begun to speak, pay all things fully as if they should not be cardinals.

- Note, nevertheless, that even cardinals present, although they pay

nothing, nevertheless make formal obligations. Item, note that if any exempted pension is assigned to a cardinal, having been provided, he obliges himself to pay in the event of the cessation”? of the pension. Item, note that if the pension is assigned on the fruits of the episcopal or abbatial meénsal income, if the pension is assessed less, a third part of the pension is deducted, if, however, the pension is assessed more, a third part of the assessment is deducted.

, (11) If in a pending suit it is decided between two about any benefice’ -that one cedes and a certain pension is assigned to the one ceding, he to ~ whom it is ceded ought to pay for the whole. And the bull of the pension

is liberated without any payment. And if he in whose favor the cession is made, should be in possession of the benefice ceded, so that it does not

| help the affair*!? to expedite further bulls about the cession, bulls of the pension ought not to be expedited, unless the one making the cession pays. 398. THE POPE ORDERS THE BULLS OF PROVISION TO A BISHOPRIC TO BE EXPEDITED WITHOUT THE PAYMENT OF SERVITIA, CHANCERY

{743. Decree of a Roman council as stated in the Decretum, apud Lucidi, De visita-

| tione sacrorum liminum instructio S. C. concilit, fourth edition, I, 8.}

According to the institutes of the holy fathers and the canons, all bishops who are subject to the ordination of this apostolic see, who are

, neighbors, should be present annually about the ides of May at the tombs of the saints, the chiefs of the apostles, Peter and Paul, every excuse having been set aside; those, however, who are far away should fulfill it according to their chirograph.“* Moreover, let him who shall have held this constitution in contempt, unless he shall have been detained

| by illness, know himself to be subject to canonical sentences.

| [Extract from advice given by the prior of Evesham about the practices , to be followed in the election of the abbots of the house.] For, since the abbots blessed by the lord pope have been accustomed

to visit the pope every three years, as does the abbot of St. Augustine’s . of Canterbury, I fear lest this custom be applied to those confirmed by | | | the lord pope; but if it should be done, it would be better that the abbot. | | be confirmed by the lord of Canterbury, provided we could avoid the

, threatening perils. But now I also doubt whether the burdens of the _ visitation ought to be compared with the advantages which the Roman church has been accustomed to confer upon its specially exempted sons, - or whether the perils which would threaten, if we should withdraw the

confirmation from the lord pope, would not be a thousand times more> | : | severe than the burdens of visitation and confirmation. For the lord pope

could legally deprive us of our privileges in respect to what they do for |

, us, if we should withdraw from him the confirmation which he does for the dignity of it and himself. And the bishops of Worcester, who always

lie in wait for us, would without doubt announce this to the lord pope, -_

so that thus we should be subjected to them. oo , , : 403. THE OATHS OF FEALTY TO THE PAPACY TAKEN BY PRELATES )

He [Abbot John], unwillingly and grieving, first submitted to the yoke _

of the slavery of the Romans, namely, that every three years, either by _ himself or another, he would go to the tombs of the apostles, as is contained in his crafty profession,’ to the great damage and. burden of the church and the wilfull and unjust emolument of the insatiable Roman court. Indeed, he was the first elected to the abbacy after the fourth general council of the Lateran, celebrated under Pope Innocent, *®

in which that is contained, with other burdens to the prejudice, and, if

it would not be wrong to say it, the injury and damage of the church of

William, by divine mercy cardinal priest of the title of SS. Quattro

Coronati, camerarius of the college of the reverend fathers, the cardinals , of the holy Roman church, and Stephen, archbishop of Arles, camerarius of the lord pope, make known to all, that, because it is contained in the , registers of the apostolic camera that the archbishop of Armagh, in the year of the lord 1301, visited the college of the lords cardinals in 50 marks , 7 of silver, each mark having been computed for five florins, and thence it follows that as much was paid to the apostolic camera, wherefore the

, execution of the said real visitation and of certain other visitations was committed by apostolic letters to Lord Raymond Pelegrini,*** your pred-

- ecessor, as is contained in those letters; and since the reverend father, |

Lord Richard, now archbishop of Armagh, was compelled to pay that | visitation owed from the said year 1301 and thereafter by the said Lord |

college of the lords cardinals to be viewed and diligently examined, nor could it be found that the said visitation had been paid before or after,

a | We, Bertrand, by divine permission Bishop of Sabina, make known | to all that, since £300 of small Tours were sought from the venerable father, Lord Roger, archbishop of Bourges, by the most reverend father, Lord William, by divine grace bishop of Tusculum, camerarius of the

college of the most reverend fathers, the lords cardinals of the holy |

| Roman church, and the venerable father, Lord Stephen, by the same grace archbishop of Toulouse, camerarius of our lord pope, for the

visitation to be made every two years, and further large amounts of money for the cessation of visitations and of the payments by reason of

, them for much past time, the aforesaid archbishop, indeed, asserted that he and his church were not held to the visitation and the payment

, of this money, since he had never heard that his predecessors had paid it, nor had it been sought from them, nor did the proofs for the payment of the said visitation produced by the said lords camerarii seem sufficient.

Oo REVENUES. 313, , At length, this business having been brought to consistory, the most holy father and our lord, Lord Innocent VI, pope by divine providence, and

the college of the lords cardinals committed to us orally that—the proofs - , | having been seen and examined and equity having been weighed both concerning the said visitation to be made every two years and concerning the arrears or debts of the past time for the biennial visitations omitted—

we should ordain, after deliberation had been had, what: should seem _ oo best to us, and that that which should have been ordained by us ought to | ,

be observed inviolably in the future. | _ |

| We, therefore, the said proofs having been seen and examined and

others having been considered, which inclined our opinion to the things , written below, we ordain and decree that the aforesaid archbishop and

his successors in the future are held to pay every two years for a biennial | visitation 300 gold florins of Florence to the apostolic camera and the

camera of the said college;.of which visitation of 300 florins the first payment falls due and ought to begin on the festival of the ascension of

| the Lord next to come, and thereafter a similar visitation and payment ought to be made in perpetuity every two years at the said festival. | We will also, and ordain, and decree, and command that, although the _ said archbishop is asserted to be obliged in large amounts of money for

the visitations omitted both by his divers predecessors and by himself, on account of equity, nevertheless, the archbishop of Bourges be held to |

pay only for the visitations of that time in which the said archbishop has ! presided over the church of Bourges, namely ten years, since he has been ,

' archbishop for ten years, each visitation having been computed and assessed at 300 florins, and so the same archbishop and church of Bourges

remain obliged in 1,500 florins, namely thus, 300 florins at the said festival __ a in the year rolled around from the aforesaid festival of the ascension of the Lord, and subsequently thereafter another 300 florins at the revolution | of every two years, and so thereafter every two years until full satisfac-

tion shall have been given for the 1,500 florins, so that up to the aforesaid | full satisfaction for the aforesaid 1,500 florins, the ordinary visitation is , paid in one year and 300 florins for the visitation of the aforesaid past ,

time in the alternate year. . | | In testimony of this thing we have ordered the present ordinance to

be reduced to public form by our notary Nicholas, written below, and to ,

be fortified by the appending of our seal. | , The abovesaid ordinance was pronounced, read and written as law*” ,

have the preéminence, feeling for the sons the affection of maternal compassion, is affected**° by their difficulties, shares unweariedly with them in burdens and extends help in needs by the remedy of opportune

, aid, seeking solicitously by what methods it may minister to them the advantages of pleasing plenty, it is proper for them, unless through the vice of ingratitude they fall into forgetfulness of the maternal breast, to yield filially to her with much reverence, to take care zealously, at a

time favorable for it, to obviate losses and also, lest lack of temporal things should obscure her beauty, which God forbid, to arise with prompt generosity to abolish misfortunes, and, necessity urging, to provide her

with the things necessary at the time of need. So, surely, they gain the thanks of the maternal blessing and acquire the glories of praise among ,

men and the reward of heavenly life. Indeed, because that Roman mother church, which, the badness of the time then causing, was recently, ~ in times not long past, assailed by many troubles and shaken by storms, on account of this and partly on account of other things which would be

too long to narrate in detail, undertook such heavy and great burdens of expenses; partly, also, because in the time of Pope Boniface VIII, our predecessor of celebrated memory, several sons of perdition, as we believe 40k ‘ficiatur, text.

offices and in the ministration of the ecclesiastical sacraments and for the | support of the other charges incumbent upon them. Further, we will and, by the authority of the present, declare, that this

our appointment is not extended to archepiscopal and episcopal churches, | nor to regular abbacies, nor to those benefices of which the annual fruits, rents and revenues do not exceed the value of six silver marks, and those which happen to be vacant by reason of exchange, nor also to vicarages or chaplaincies, commonly instituted, according to the custom of

| that the payment of these fruits, rents and revenues be made in two suitable terms to be fixed at the judgment of-those collectors, to whom , we have caused that to be committed from now, burdening their con- sciences about this; so, indeed, that where the aforesaid collectors prefer to have for our camera the tenth assessment of these fruits, rents and revenues of the first year, the holders of those benefices, having the remainder of the fruits, rents and revenues, pay from those fruits, rents

of “‘prebends” or “‘benefices’’) committed to your industry.‘ , So, answering your inquiry briefly, we wish you to know our pleasure to be, about fruits of benefices which you so find assessed to the payment . of the tenth according to the true value, that they never exceed that, although you could make agreement with the holders of such benefices | as should seem better and more advantageous to you and to the dio_cesans of the places in which those benefices are, whose counsels you may _

diocesans about these. | | |

seek in this matter. For we burden the conscience of yourself and those | | Moreover, although daily distributions were excluded by us from the , |

, payment of the aforesaid fruits, nevertheless we wish this to be known - about those distributions: what are given to those who attend the hours are so, but those which are paid to those who are present in the city

, burden of the said collection. oo

Moreover, we wish that declaration made by us in the appointment or reservation of the aforesaid fruits, namely, that it should not be extended

to vicarages or chaplaincies commonly instituted by those dying, for | | celebrating masses for those dying, by certain rents established for the

a priest celebrating there, to hold good for altars endowed with certain : , customary fees*®* or rents, so that the chaplain ought to celebrate there at certain times in each week for the souls of the donors and be present in the cathedral church at divine hours, only if the annual value of those

| altars does not exceed the sum of £20 of Tours. Otherwise they are

, included in the appointment or reservation aforesaid. ,

: Where, indeed, a prebend should be assessed to the tenth for so much that, after the payment of this assessment, too little would remain for the weekly canon on whom falls a certain service to be done for it in the church, we wish that from that assessment you remit to the aforesaid

weekly canon some suitable portion for the burden of that service, col- |

lecting the remainder, indeed, for our said camera. , Again, we declare to be included in the aforesaid appointment or reservation, in such a way that you can collect from them according to

| the method of our appointment, notwithstanding the absence of those canons, the prebends of those who, refusing to pay the assessment of

the tenth, pretend that they are going to be away, so that they are compelled to reduce that assessment, lest you be defrauded in the collec-

tion of this assessment by their absence, since you can collect nothing from a prebend from which they collect nothing, unless they are imme-

diately present in the place or in the city, although the fabric of the church is known to collect from such prebends in full. For it would be ridiculous that that fabric should possess a greater privilege in such things than we. Finally, concerning those who, although they have held churches or prebends for several months, assert, nevertheless, that they have col-

lected nothing from them, because, according to the custom of the country, their predecessors had left some of their goods by will, on | account of which those holding such churches cannot satisfy you for the aforesaid fruits, offering, nevertheless, that you may collect the fruits

of those churches until you shall be fully satisfied therein; it pleases us and we wish that, if so it is, you condescend to this oblation. By this,

a - however, we do not intend to approve the aforesaid custom.

Since several ecclesiastical persons holding in cathedral churches a | canonries, prebends, dignities, stalls,4”” and offices and other ecclesiastical

benefices presume to call into doubt, whether the fruits, rents and reve- | - nues of the first year of ecclesiastical benefices, both vacant and which may happen to be vacant in various parts of the world within three years, _ -. which we have caused to be reserved by our letters under a certain form

for the necessities of the Roman church, should be held to pay to our , camera according to the tenor of those letters, especially when archiepis-

copal and episcopal churches and regular abbeys are, as they say, exempted , from the payment of these fruits in the said letters, we, wishing to remove .

| this doubt, declare by apostolic authority that, since, under the appella- , tion of archiepiscopal or episcopal church, or of regular abbey, prebends, dignities, stalls47® and offices of this sort are never understood, nor even

| included, the aforesaid as well as also the separate fruits, rents and revenues of prebends, and of the offices of monks of regular monasteries, and the revenues of abbeys or their abbots, which are assigned to ecclesi-

astical benefices, ought to be included in the aforesaid appointment and

paid to the said camera according to the tenor of the said letters. / ! , , And we declare and order the same to be observed about the payment of all fruits, rents and revenues of commendams, closes or granges, mon-

asteries, houses and conventual places, which are granted for ecclesiasti- , cal benefices, as is set forth, except only on the fruits of those which are

_ perchance exempted. ,

and also sometimes a certain amount of grain, and sometimes a certain amount of money, and sometimes one or the other are delivered and also , paid each month or week even to those canons absent from their churches,

because of studies, or for their other business, with the license of the chapters of those churches, we declare by the aforesaid authority that that amount of grain and sum of money whichis served foreach monthor

week to the said canons, as is said before, ought not to be counted for daily a distributions, but only those things which are distributed without fraud

daily for the daily and nightly hours. |

Where, in truth, a definite assessment of the fruits, rents and revenues

, of ecclesiastical benefices should not be found, we declare by the afore| said authority that the fruits, rents and revenues of these benefices, when - they happen to be vacant, should be divided in two parts, of which one - should be received for the aforesaid camera, but he who is known to hold

this benefice should collect the remaining half for his living. , - Moreover, we declare, by the same authority, that granges and other -

: ambiguity, declare by apostolic authority that the fruits, rents and revenues of both of those benefices, when either of them should be vacant, |

Recently, namely on XII kalends June in the first year of our pontificate,* we, thinking upon the many necessities by which our camera

was continually pressed, as it is still pressed, beyond the strength andthe _ scarcity of its revenues, never sufficient for supporting the charges incum-

bent upon that camera, saw the necessity of finding rightful and honest : ways and means by which in some measure that camera would be cared ©

for with regard to the aforesaid necessities. : ,

Therefore, after mature deliberation, we reserved by apostolic authority, reserving to be collected advantageously by the methods written below, for those necessities, and caused to be appointed to the aforesaid camera

the fruits, rents and revenues of one year of each and all ecclesiastical benefices, with cure and without cure, also of dignities, stalls, *°* administrations and offices, priories and any other ecclesiastical places, secular and regular, exempt and non-exempt, which, belonging to our disposal by the general or special reservation of ourself or of the Roman pontiffs, our predecessors, were then vacant at the apostolic see or anywhere else, or

in the future shall happen to be vacant within two years to be computed

from then, the churches, dignities and benefices written below, however, , having been expressly excepted; notwithstanding any contrary statutes and customs of churches, monasteries and places, in which these benefices, dignities, stalls,49* administrations, priories or offices may have been confirmed by oath, confirmation of the said see, or by any other #2 21 May 1342. | 493 Personaiuum. 4% Personatus.

or any places by any one; or also appointed, or meanwhile should happen | to be appointed, or if they should be converted to other uses. —

_ We have willed, moreover, that if the same benefice should be vacant | | twice or more in the same year, its fruits, rents and revenues should be | | received according to the assessment only once, namely, so that the , aforesaid camera would receive the sum for which each of those benefices | , is assessed to the payment of the tenth, the whole of the remainder being | left to the holders of those benefices, unless by chance the said camera

should prefer to receive and have the remainder and leave to the holders | of those benefices the sum for which those benefices are assessed to the |

tenth for supporting their burdens and for having a living. About this -. we leave the option to that camera of receiving either the assessment or , , the aforesaid remainder, so, nevertheless, that, whatever that camera may choose, the holders of those benefices should be held to support in } full the charges of those benefices from the part which the aforesaid cam-

era should leave to them, as is set forth, unless the aforesaid holders should wish to dismiss to the abovesaid camera all the fruits, rents and

revenues of those benefices in full for the said year, in which case that camera would have to arrange for the service in those benefices with regard to cure of souls, if it should be incumbent on them, as well as also — ,

in divine offices and the ministration of the ecclesiastical sacraments by , , suitable persons, and for the support of the other charges incumbent __ ,

upon them. | , oo | a

Concerning those benefices, moreover, which should not be assessed _ for the tenth, we have caused to be ordained that the half of their fruits,

| rents and revenues ought to belong to the aforesaid camera, the other, in _

truth, to the holders of those benefices, under the methods, forms and > an conditions which are expressed above concerning other benefices.

Further, we have willed, and we have caused to be declared by the authority of our letters, that the abovesaid reservation and appointment |

should not be extended to cathedral churches or regular abbatial, which | _ nevertheless are conventual; or to benefices of which the annual fruits, ~ | rents and revenues do not exceed the value of £10 of small Tours; or which may happen to be vacant in the aforesaid time by reason of exchange; or to vicarages or chaplaincies commonly instituted, according to the custom of divers churches, by those dying, for celebrating masses for those dying, certain rents having been established for the priest cele- |

| 360 | DOCUMENTS | a brating there, or otherwise that they may be present at daily and nightly | canonical hours, when they should not exceed the annual value of £20 of small Tours; or to daily distributions of any churches, or to anniver-

saries or obventions, which should stand appointed for a certain thing, , except to these or those which have been accustomed to be distributed to

at the canonical hours. , , Again, we have willed that those to whom the rents and revenues of | | those who are present in the city and place although they were not present

the first year of these benefices should be owed of right, privilege, custom

or statute may collect them in the second year, as they would have re- | ceived them in the first year, if this reservation and appointment had

, not prevented. |

Further, it is our will and intention that the reservations of fruits,

rents and revenues of these benefices for the whole time of their vacancy, _ formerly made by Pope Benedict XII, our predecessor of happy memory, should not proceed further. By this, however, we have not intended, nor

| do we intend, to prejudice the aforesaid camera that it can not exact and have those things which by the reservation of the said predecessor were —

owed to that camera or belonged to it for fruits, rents and revenues sy

oe which fell due from the aforesaid benefices up to then, as is contained ,

~ more fully in our letters drawn up about that. a Willing, therefore, that the fruits, rents and revenues, which are owed

, or shall be owed from any of these benefices and ecclesiastical places exist, ing in the kingdom of Hungary, by the force of our aforesaid reservation and application, for the past from the date of our aforesaid letters drawn

_ be owed, from the fruits, rents and revenues up to that date from the reservation of our said predecessor, be exacted, levied, collected and faithfully and fully assigned to that camera; to your fraternity, concern- } ing whom we feel full faith in the Lord, we commit by apostolic writings | and command that, by yourself or another or other collectors or deputy __ collectors, suitable in faith and abilities, to be appointed by you about this, you take care to seek, collect exact and receive faithfully and fully in the name of the abovesaid camera the fruits, rents and revenues and

{1246-1247. Matthew Paris, Chronica majora, edited by Luard, IV, 552, 604, 605.} At the same time, when the lord pope heard how certain rich clerks in

, England, namely, Master Robert de Hailes, archdeacon of Lincoln, who had died intestate a few years before, had unhappily left several thousand : marks with many silver vases to the world and secular uses; and that Almaric, archdeacon of Bedford, had died, having indecently left behind _ him a very large amount of money; and also [that] recently Master John -

de Hotosp, archdeacon of Northampton; seized with illness suddenly, died suddenly and indecently intestate, [having left] about 5,000 marks ©

| and thirty silver or gold cups and endless jewels, he caused to be promul, , gated in England a new and unheard-of statute, not without the sign of manifest cupidity, that if a clerk should thereafter die intestate, his goods should be converted to the use of the lord pope. Which business he

a ordered to be executed diligently by the Brothers, Preachers and Minors. But when the lord king heard [of it], detesting the increasing and mani-

udice. : | BO

fold and multiform avarice of the Roman curia, he forbade it tobedone, _ a learning it to redound to the damage of the kingdom and his own prej1247. Also at the same time, on account of scandal indecently blown through divers climes, what a little while before had been decreed by the — lord pope, at the instigation of manifest avarice, and for executing which the Brothers Minors had been constituted agents, to. their damage and

scandal and the harm of their order, namely, that the lord pope claimed for himself for his own uses the goods of those dying intestate, was revoked, the cardinals forcing; partly because it redounded to the injury

7 , and damage of many nobles, and partly on account of that iniquitous : addition which, contrary to laws and all piety, was added to that statute,

| | _ which is such: “But if a sick person about to make a testament, having been seized with sudden weakness, cannot express the words of his testa-

ment explicitly, and constitutes one of his friends to express and ad-

, minister it, such a testament may not stand, but should be held void, and : 532 Usually designated as goods indistinctly bequeathed. |

| In the same year, after the lord pope had established that decree, as is aforesaid, that the goods of intestates should be ceded to his use,**4 and | , had appointed the Brothers Preachers for diligently executing this, solicitous concerning the empire of Constantinople and the insolence of the

schismatic Greeks, he directed to the provincial minister of the Brothers | - Minors in England letters containing the strict papal command with other |

the probate of these testaments, ascribing to himself alone or to those appointed by him these probates and publications, having attempted —©T

: form, for both of us nothing more or less. However, because the way Lord | Ottobon levied his procurations, [which] we have learned from some :

| persons, you say to be general, asserting yourselves not to be able to find definite instruction about this, you declare yourselves to be ignorant | | of our intention about exacting and collecting our said procurations.

, REVENUES | 413 We therefore inform your discretion, by the tenor of the present, that | | it is our intention that for both of us together you exact in the name of | our procurations six marks of sterlings, and no more or less, from the venerable fathers, the archbishops and bishops, and just as many from — each of the priors and other prelates of collegiate churches, and the same |

from each of the chapters and convents of cathedral and other collegiate churches and monasteries, in which the prelates and chapters or convents

ple, of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, and of any other religious , houses, of whatever order they are, exempt and non-exempt, in the cities — _ and dioceses in which we have appointed you as the established collectors.

| Furthermore, since all churches are bound to pay procuration to us—and a ‘we now command those procurations to be exacted from none except the _

said persons, because we do not wish to burden any in the payment of | these procurations*”—we will and command that, if there are any of the

said abbots, priors and other prelates, chapters, convents, masters, pre- , , ceptors, or rectors who would be too greatly burdened by the payment of

. those procurations, you, archbishops and bishops, by yourselves or your | } officials, if solicitously requested about this by you, the said collectors, , . compel by ecclesiastical censure, on our, or rather on apostolic, authority,

| and willing obedience which was fitting. In which letters and holy apostolic mandates, indeed, I am commanded, under penalty of the sentence __ of excommunication issued against me if I should be careless or fraudulent, and against all others who should commit any fraud in deceit of the apostolic mandate, to send faithfully to your apostolic holiness, in | detail and in items and fully, information closed under my seal, within

, four months of the receipt of the said holy apostolic mandate, namely, what churches are in the city and diocese of Sées, and how often they have

| been visited by apostolic authority in the times both of Pope Urban V , of happy memory and of your holiness, and what procurations were | paid by reason of these visitations by their rectors or by others in their

names, and to what persons with what burdens of expenses. |

Which having been received and read, in order that I may fulfill the holy apostolic mandate faithfully, on the following day and as quickly

| and faithfully as I could, I transmitted the letters of the same holiness sent to me to the prior of your church of Sées, Philip Boulemer, now and previously ordained and commissioned deputy collector in the city and diocese of Sées by your principal collector for the province of Rouen, Master Bernard Cariti, as well as to the archdeacons of your said church, __ Masters William Guerardi of Sées, Peter Nivelle of Exmes, John de Insula of Le Houlme, Robert Mutonis of Belléme, and to Lord Nicholas Picci, venerable professor of both laws, of Corbon, commanding all and — each of them, by my letters patent in such proportion as ought to touch them and each of them and to pertain to them, and in such proportion as

, they can by reason of dignity and office—and ordering them, under the penalties expressed in the apostolic letters, that that prior, the deputy col- | lector, and those archdeacons and each of them, through himself and his

rural deans, or as they otherwise could better and more faithfully, should , inform themselves according to the apostolic mandate and according to all its points, and remit to me faithfully and safely, authenticated under

| seal, information of the truth, within six weeks from the presentation made to them of the said apostolic mandate and of my letters, that thence _

, , I may be able to fulfill with humble obedience the said apostolic man-

date, as I ought. | a

_ Which having been so done, the said prior, the deputy collector, and the archdeacons sent to me by the archdeacon of Corbon, namely, the

| information which they had made, as they asserted, with fidelity and , efficient diligence. Nevertheless, disputing this information, I sent to

| , _ REVENUES | 4370 them by my secretary, a public notary by apostolic and imperial author- © ity, raising some doubts on account of a scruple and advising, if anything

had been improperly inserted or omitted by inadvertence, it should be | done or added or removed. Having discussed again with deliberation - among themselves, or the wiser part of them, and in the presence of the | said notary, they concluded among themselves and in writings and | remitted by the said notary, with the letter of the deputy collector, that

I should adhere to the said writings for information without doubt and | , should give full trust to the things brought back by the said secretary. | The form of the writing for information, moreover, and relative to the a

information of the said secretary, was such, no mention having been made, however, that any churches which are in the city or diocese of Sées

had been visited by apostolic authority, since, in truth, none has been , visited by the aforesaid authority in the time of Pope Urban V or of your

holiness, but several procurations were sought and paid in the manner > _ ,

| which follows, on that authority, from the churches written below. , There follow the names of each and all of the churches, monasteries,

priories, chapters or other places located in the city or diocese of Sées , | which are accustomed to be visited every three years by the archbishop of _ Rouen, and every year by the bishop of Sées, which paid half-procurations in the times both of Lord Pope Urban V of happy memory, for the |

year of the Lord 1369 and for ’yo by the special mandate of that lord | given at Montefiascone, the kalends of June, in the seventh year of his , ,

pontificate, and of the most holy father in Christ and our lord, Lord | _ Gregory, by divine providence the present pope, for the year ’72, and to © whom they were paid and with what burdens of expenses, of which.

churches, monasteries, priories or chapters, indeed, there are some which , paid nothing on account of causes written below and alleged by them. : 7 First, therefore, for the year ’69 in the time of Urban of happy memory, , : and for ’72 in the time of the most holy Lord Gregory, the present pope,

| The receipt of these procurations, moreover, was made by the said deputy collector, who, having been asked about the burdens of expenses,

, To the venerable brothers, the archbishops and bishops established in the kingdom of France and the Dauphiné of Vienne. On account of the office of apostolic service enjoined upon us, we freely bring the zeal of our foresight to those things by which the difficulties of ecclesiastical persons may be removed and conveniences provided. Since, therefore—as it has been shown to us in behalf of you and of our

dearest son in Christ, Charles, illustrious king of the Franks, by our | _ venerable brothers, Bernard and Elias, bishops respectively of Langres and Saintes, and the beloved son, John de Bordis, archdeacon of Paris, nuncios sent to us specially on this account—divers Roman pontiffs of

, happy memory, our predecessors, for supporting the burdens of expenses then pressing them and the Roman church from various and divers reasons, caused to be reserved to the apostolic camera, for a long time

, since, the procurations owed by churches, monasteries, chapters, col~ leges, convents, priories, all churches and other places, and ecclesiastical persons, when they are visited by you, or by others to whom it belongs,

a REVENUES , 443 ; by reason of this visitation, or half of these greater procurations. And | [since] we, who, as it pleased God, were recently raised, not on account of , our merits, to the rule of the universal church, for similar causes and after a the example of those predecessors, for a certain period not yet ended,

caused them to be reserved to the apostolic camera, strictly prohibiting you, as well as the beloved sons, the elect, the deans, provosts, archdeacons, rural deans, and any other prelates and ecclesiastical persons, to

whom belongs in any way the office of visitation in those churches, per- | sons and places, lest you presume to seek or exact any procurations, or | anything in place of them, from those churches, monasteries, chapters, colleges, convents, places and persons during the periods of these reservations. And since, moreover, the office of visitation has been almost entirely

omitted for the said periods in the aforesaid churches, monasteries, chapters, colleges, convents, places and persons, since you have not been

able nor can seek or exact these procurations, the aforesaid prohibitions , preventing, which, as you say, produces a decrease of the divine cult, a ~ corruption of morals and impunity of faults—and on this account you _

have caused the remedy of apostolic provision to be sought by petition— | we, pondering the premises.and that you have now undergone great |

, burdens of expenses on account of the pestiferous schism which has : flourished and flourishes in the church of God, having been favorably | inclined by these petitions and by other reasonable causes influencing our 7 thought, by the present, lift and forthwith remove the said reservations and prohibitions, and in the Lord specially exhort you and the elect, the

deans, provosts, archdeacons, rural deans and other aforesaid prelates , , - and persons to whom the office of visitation belongs, as is set forth, that, _ through yourselves or through a person or persons having the fear and zeal of God to be appointed especially by you, hereafter, as often as the time of visitation falls due and it seems expedient to you and them, visit- — ing the churches, monasteries, chapters, colleges, convents, secular and |

| regular, and their persons, as well as churches which are curacies, and

other ecclesiastical places and persons—in which, even if they should be , without the aforesaid kingdom and Dauphiné, the office of visitation, as is set forth, would have belonged to you and them, and as it would have ©

belonged anciently to your dignities and offices and each of them, and you and your predecessors have been accustomed to do before these reser- | vations and prohibitions—®§ you correct what ought to be corrected, _ 66 Necnon curatas ecclesias, et alia loca ecclesiastica, et personas eciam in quibus st — sint extra regnum et Dalphinatum predicta vobis et eis visitacionts officium, ut prefertur,

And do you receive from those churches, monasteries, places, chapters, colleges, convents, priories, churches which are curacies, , and persons so visited, which are held in any way by custom or law to the payment of procurations owed by reason of this visitation, whoever |

the persons may be and in whatever dignity or honor they may shine

We grant to you, moreover, of special grace, and®™ to the aforesaid others to

_ whom, as is set forth, the office of visitation belongs, that, whether you shall have visited one or two, three or more of these churches, monas- : teries, chapters, colleges, convents, priories, churches which are curacies, | and places and persons on the same day, either by yourselves, or by the |

aforesaid person or persons to be appointed asisset forth, youmay,fora

a period of two years, exact and receive these procurations therein in , counted money, also to be provided in full, as if you should have visited each of the aforesaid persons and places by yourselves in your own person

, and only one on each day, omitting none of those things, nevertheless, ' which ought to be done about the office of this visitation. The constitu- | tion issued by Pope Benedict XII of happy memory, our predecessor, | which begins Vas electionis,®°* is otherwise to be observed about these _ things notwithstanding. We will, moreover, that you, brother archbishops

, and bishops, visiting by another collegiate and conventual places located in notable and very populous places, cannot exact the procurations owed for visitation if you appoint others than priests having the catholic grace

and communion of the apostolic see, who alone can administer to the people the sacraments reserved to priests, but you are bound to do this in your own persons or by those priests, if youcan safely andconveniently.

| Moreover, because, on account of the said pestiferous schism and the | prosecution of assuaging it, which above all the things desirable in this

, _ life we desire to procure by our endeavors and to see in our times, the - burden of expenses presses us more heavily and the revenues of the > | abovesaid camera are more diminished than in the times of any of the said predecessors, and consequently we need much more the help and

the faithful gift of the heavens may obtain effect. 7

Therefore, lending an ear to the prayers of your devotion and of Fulk, the distinguished count of Anjou, by the authority of the present decree,

We decree that what the aforesaid count gave at the dedication of that church at our exhortations, by our hands, namely, as much land in Silvacani as ought to suffice for three, and the land of Availlé6! which the count William of Orleans had given, and whatever right of immunity or endowment had been given to that church by his predecessors, counts Geoffrey and Fulk, and whatever , it possesses justly to-day, or in the future shall be able to acquire justly

| and canonically, shall remain immovable and unharmed to you and your successors. In which we have caused these to be set forth by their own | names: [a list of the names of churches follows.] —

| Further, we recommend that the place be visited, honored and protected by all the faithful for the benefit of this devotion, and, by the ,

, mercy of omnipotent God, and trusting in the authority of the holy apostles, through the merits of St. Michael, we remit the seventh part

of the judgment received for sins to those who take care tocome hither

Whose breast, __

, indeed, could hardness render so callous that a feeling of pious consideration for relieving the afflictions of that land would not soften it? For

, who except one having a breast of iron or having a heart of the hardest adamant would not open the bowels of piety to that land; who would | , not be challenged most strongly, who would not be fired to wrath and who would not be moved to an act of proper revenge?

, the injuries inflicted on his subjects, and will he not avenge the atrocious injuries of his God? None sustains the hands of its invaders to be extended to the heritage; and will he suffer detainers of the heritage of the | Lord for so long a time? Lest, therefore, those who adore the cross neglect

in the crucified one what they would not rightly tolerate in man, the shame of the redeemer stings their minds and souls, and zeal of the said

faith incites them. For while its miserable and full bitter state and sad - condition present themselves to our thoughts, while we hear its dire and horrible calamity in the crys of its tearful lamentation, we are troubled very bitterly and lacerated very harshly and profoundly deep within, because we strive more and more for the sweetness of the quiet a

| , Bishop Boniface, servant of the servants of God, to all Christ’s faithful : who shall see the present letters, greeting and apostolic benediction. Deeming it pious and meritorious with God to extend helping hands _ to the restorations and other needs of churches and monasteries, we fre-_

quently exhort Christ’s faithful by our letters to give aid to those churches and monasteries; and, in order that they may be moved to this more fervently, because they hope themselves to obtain greater advantage of souls from this, we sometimes give to them for these temporal aids —

spiritual rewards, namely, remissions and indulgences. | | Recently, indeed, Pope Urban VI of happy memory, our predecessor, | | for certain reasonable causes which induced his mind to it, with the advice

of his brothers, the cardinals of the holy Roman church, of the number of | which we then were, and with the plenitude of the apostolic power, — decreed that all of Christ’s faithful, truly penitent and confessed, who, in the past year from the nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ 1390, then in

the future, and thereafter in future times every thirty-three years in perpetuity, should visit personally the basilicas of the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul, and the churches of the Lateran and of Santa Maria —

Maggiore of the City because of devotion, should obtain the fullest

| pardon of all their sins: so, namely, that whoever should wish to obtain this indulgence should be held to go to those basilicas and churches, if a Roman at least 30 times consecutively or intermittently at least once on | | each day, if, however, a pilgrim or a foreigner in similar manner for 15 days, as is contained more fully in the letters of the said predecessor ,

drawn up therein. | |

| Since, therefore, as we learn unpleasantly both in the letters of several

dukes and princes and other lords of several parts of Germany, and by

the narrative of those worthy of faith, the monastery in Roth of the | , Praemonstratensian order, of the diocese of Constance, which formerly was reputed to be among the richer and more celebrated monasteries of those parts and in which a large number of monks and servants was sustained and the divine cult was most devoutly performed and great hos-

pitality was maintained, is, on account of wars, which have afflicted _

tolic see and the pious aids of Christ’s faithful, it is probably threatened , | - with complete extermination without hope of recovery; we, desiring, as _ , we are bound to do from the duty of our pastoral office, that that monas- : , tery may be properly restored, deem it worthy and fitting that we incite

_ those Christians to aiding piously that monastery, and enrich them from | | the treasury of the sacrosanct and universal church and of the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and of the apostles and martyrs, in whose

protection we glory, and favor them with gifts of spiritual graces, in order that it may advance the salvation of all, and they may be moved ' more fervently to this subvention, because they hope from it to secure

_ for themselves the merits of greater reward. a , , | Induced, therefore, by these considerations, by the tenor of the present, |

by apostolic authority, we grant that each of the persons of the city and , said diocese of Constance, and of the surrounding parts to a distance of _ , three common or usual days’ journey to be computed immediately from .

the confines of the aforesaid city and diocese, and also each of the foreign | nobles, merchants and others who come there casually, and also each of

those persons who visited the said basilicas in the aforesaid year or other- , wise obtained that indulgence by apostolic authority and who may wish , : to obtain this indulgence—of either sex, even if they should be ofanyreligion or order, and even if they should shine forth in pontifical or other

dignity—may choose a confessor from twenty suitable secular or regular , priests—more or less if it should be necessary—whom the beloved sons,

the abbot and convent of the said monastery, and the collector of the | fruits and revenues owed in those parts to the apostolic camera shallhave _ , caused to be appointed in that monastery for this purpose. [Theconfessor so chosen] shall be able to grant by that apostolic authority to those persons and each of-them, who, truly repentant and confessed, shall have

humbly wished or acknowledged this, that those persons and each of

_ them, truly repentant and confessed, who shall have visited the church of | the said monastery on seven days consecutively or intermittently at least | | once on each day—or on less if and as the same confessor shall have caused to be ordained—from the first day of the next month of October within three months to be computed immediately from then, and shall have ex- _ tended helping hands to this restoration—those, that is, of the said per- , , sons who can conveniently—may obtain this fullest indulgence granted, as is set forth, by the said Urban, our predecessor, as those have obtained

| 464 DOCUMENTS | | it who, within that year appointed by the said predecessor, as is set forth, came for that cause personally to that City and visited the aforesaid basil-

, icas and churches of the City. Moreover, those of the said persons who | on account of old age or bad health or observance of religion or other legiti- _ mate hindrance shall not have been able to make this visitation properly and conveniently, if, in place of the visitation, they shall have performed

other pious deeds, shall have said prayers, or shall have sent to that church another person who shall have made the said visitation for them, :

| as the said confessor—who can go to the said persons so hindered by reason of those things for hearing confession and granting this indulgence to

, them and doing each and all of the premises—shall have caused to be en- __ joined upon those so hindered, [shall also obtain this fullest indulgence]. All of those persons, however—after the personal labor which they would

| have undergone if they had come for that cause personally to that City and visited for that reason the aforesaid basilicas and churches of the City, as is set forth, has been commuted by them to other works of piety according to the judgment of that confessor—are held faithfully to assign the expenses which they would have made on the journey to that City in »

going and staying there and returning home from there, according to their respective circumstances, and the offerings which they would have

3 given to the aforesaid basilicas and churches of the City, if they had come to them personally from the said cause, to two suitable and faithful per-

sons to be appointed for this purpose by that abbot and convent and col- , lector. The persons so appointed for this can, indeed, assess these expenses

moderately by their judgment, as shall seem to them ought to be done according to the circumstances of the persons wishing to obtain thisindul, gence, and compound and rule with those persons about these things, and remit them wholly or in part to paupers and religious persons not being able to pay these expenses, about which we burden the consciences of the abbot, convent and collector and of the persons to be appointed.

Official Correspondence of Thomas Bekynton, II, 299~303.] _

_ Bishop Eugenius, servant of the servants of God, to the venerable | brother, John, bishop of Bath, chancellor of the kingdom of England,

greeting and apostolic benediction. | ,

The duty of our responsibility requires that those things which have proceeded from the wisdom of our mind be brought to the ordained work. To-day, indeed, we granted letters of the tenor written below: | Bishop Eugenius, servant of the servants of God, to all the faithful of Christ who

shall see the present letters, greeting and apostolic benediction. — , While we revolve in the rapt meditation of our secret thought the bad storms of , a troubles and adversities, as well as the artful snares and also the perils and various

- hazards to which the ship of St. Peter, prince of the apostles, committed tousby divine | , providence, is subjected, in addition the falsities which heretical and schismatic machinations do not cease to devise to the schism of the universal church, and finally , the massacres, burnings, servitudes and other innumerable perils which the Turks, _ and pagans and other barbarian peoples, hostile to the name of Christian, have not , failed to inflict upon the people committed to us, and in very many catholickingdoms __ and provinces, during the past few years, acting busily to break and forthwith to destroy the most sacred union of the eastern with the western church, we recognize, indeed, that no mortal arms can alone suffice us for the purpose of repulsing such |

hostilities. : , Yea, we judge it to be necessary rather to implore aid from on high and to have

recourse to the glorious virgin, mother of God, who is the fount and mother of piety |

and mercy and the assiduous suppliant for sinners with him whom she bore, [and] remains to us a steadfast principal and an unchanging refuge. If we turn to her relig-

iously and devoutly and also shall honor reverently the churches constructed under _ , ! her holy name, according to the power granted to us by divine providencein proportion __ to the small measure of our faculties, partly in order that the divine cult may be in-

466 DOCUMENTS } creased in them to the praise of God and of that glorious virgin, partly in order that

| by their mediation the wickedness and iniquity of the aforesaid perfidious ones, who | busy themselves to destroy the Christian religion, may be prevented, we have unques- | tioned hope that she, aided by the virtues of her only begotten Son, whose fervor of

, love for us was so great, that, having been appointed, for us he deigned to suffer with | criminals even the most shameful death, will temper the waves threatening the aforesaid ship, and will repress the bold attacks of the aforesaid enemies of the Christian | religion, and will liberate us and the Lord’s flock committed to our care from so many

| and so great troubles and perils attacking us. For we lament and often hardly moderate our tears, when we see so many scourges arisen in our times among the Christian people consigned to our care. We pity the

oppressed, but truly, the schism stirred up in the church of God by several sons of iniquity being the cause, and assailed as well by several tyrants and sacrilegious robbers, we can neither aid those so oppressed, as is incumbent upon our office, nor even support the burdens of expenses customarily falling upon us and our camera. , Since, therefore, such great evils ought to be resisted and counsel and worthy pre-

: caution®* ought to be taken lest they grow worse—which God forbid—we have caused all Christ’s faithful, who are one body in Christ and also members one of another, to be exhorted that, sympathizing mutually with one another, they should give alms according to the measure of their faculties for repelling the said injuries and perils, and have urged them, in order that they may do and carry out this more quickly and fervently, with many spiritual gifts, namely indulgences and remissions.

, Moved, therefore, by this consideration as well as by the singular devotion which our dearest son in Christ, Henry, illustrious king of England who, as was shown to | us recently on his behalf, built and endowed with rich buildings and edifices and with | a large number of ministers, from the resources given to him by God, to the honor of , that omnipotent God, and to the glory of his aforesaid most worthy mother and in her | name, the collegiate church of the college of St. Mary of Eton, near Windsor in the dio-

: cese of Lincoln, which is venerable and devout among other collegiate churches of those parts, and for which the people of those parts feel the affection of a singular devotion, feels toward us and the Roman church; we, confident of the mercy of that omnipotent God and of the authority of his blessed apostles Peter and Paul, by apostolic authority,

grant through the present to all the faithful of the aforesaid Christ, truly penitentand confessed, who shall devoutly visit annually that church from first vespers to second | \ vespers inclusive of the assumption of the aforesaid mother of God, as well as extend aiding hands for repelling the aforesaid Turks and enemies of the name of Christian, : as well as for the fabric of that college and the support of the ministers living there,

| plenary remission of all their sins; and to each of the suitable priests who should be . appointed for this purpose by the beloved son, the provost pro tempore of the said church, or by his deputy, [we grant] that they may freely and legally hear the confessions of all the faithful visiting as is set forth, and absolve them, salutary penance first having been enjoined, in all cases except those especially reserved to the apostolic see. Of these oblations, moreover, which will be made by those faithful in consideration

of this remission we will and also grant, by the present, that four parts be made and that one of them be applied to the fabric and the support of the ministers of the aforesaid college for the increase of the divine cult in it. The remaining three parts, indeed,

Before you, notary and witnesses, etc., I announce publicly that I am

prepared to deliver the money received by me from the places in which I

acted as commissioner, and of which I made a calculation yesterday, oe which was Thursday the seventh, and to-day, indeed, the eighth of the month of August, to you, venerable and circumspect men, lords vicarial

deans of Dédle®’?7 and Nimwegen of the diocese of Kéln, as well as ap- | | pointed commissioners for this purpose by the reverend father, Lord Raymond, protonotary of the apostolic see, namely, the sum of 815

Rhenish florins®® 20 stiibers of current money of this province, a florin having been calculated at 15 stiibers, or concerning them to satisfy suff- , ciently those lords deans appointed commissioners; provided that first satisfaction be given to me for my labors, and likewise to the members of the stafi®® associated with me in that business by the lord dean of Nimwegen, commissioner, for their labors, to whom I, in order that they might take hold faithfully, gave pledge not to deliver any money arising from these indulgences before they should be satisfied for their labors. Also, I similarly announce that I, prepared as above, shall ask those

lords deans, commissioners, that they give me the relief of indemnity for | | the obligation made by me at the mandate of the aforesaid lord dean of _ Nimwegen, commissioner, first, to the venerable and famous man, the lord vicar of the most reverend lord, our bishop of Utrecht, for the seals of

, procuring a judicial process to be made up to the secular arm only, within - a certain time now recently elapsed, against a certain Abbode, asserted to be rector of the parochial church of Wageningen, who was not ashamed to

| preach publicly and say, to the disgrace and shame of the highest pontiff, _ and especially of the most reverend father and lord, Raymond, the aforesaid protonotary, and all of his commissioners, that this business of most sacred indulgences was only a mere fraud and deception, something for extorting moneys from the common people, with which words of his and

others similar he had so aroused the people in his parochial church and surrounding places, that they extended no helping hands for obtaining these indulgences, on account of which words of his, moreover, the afore-

said town was not willing to consent to the withdrawal of the moneys — deposited in the chest in his church, unless the said obligation be had and

| given by me; and finally, on account of the absence of the most reverend father and lord, Raymond, the protonotary, who had promised me on his faith and legality, in the presence of the aforesaid lord dean of Nimwegen and of Lord John Neue Scotj(?) . . . of the church of Nimwegen and pastor of the parochial church in Grave of the diocese of K6ln, a good and

honest gratuity®* for my labors and cares, by which with others I obtained admission for publication of those most sacred indulgences by our : chapter of the church of Utrecht, I ask those lords commissioners that sat-

, Garnesey,°4? and other places under the subjection of our Sovereign Lord King Henry the Seventh, to be distributed according to the true meaning

| of our Holy Father unto the King’s subjects by the hands of his dear | and well-beloved William Butts, student in the University of Cambridge.

, Our most holy father the Pope, God’s vicar in earth, of his holy and gracious disposition, fatherly beholding the whole flocks of Christian people committed to his care and charge, daily studieth diligently the health and welfare of their souls, and, in as much as is in his holiness, provideth for all such perils and jeopardies as may fall to the same, by , granting of great indulgence and remission of sins and trespasses. Whereas _ the holy year of grace now of late passed, that is to say, the year of remis-

sion of all sins, the year of great joy and gladness, was celebrate devoutly , and solemnly kept by great and infinite number of Christian people in the court of Rome, our said most holy father the Pope, as well considering

the infinite number of Christian people both spiritual and temporal _ which was desirous to have had the said remission and grace, and: would have visited the said court of Rome, save only that they were let either by sickness, feebleness, poverty, long distance, and great jeopardy of ways,

or business and charge of spiritual or temporal occupation, or at that

The original exposition in the vulgar tongue was probably contemporary, made for the purpose of bringing the indulgence to

, ‘popular attention. It follows the general tenor of a similar bull issued at about the same time to establish an indulgence of the jubilee throughout Italy. This bull, dated g December 1500, is edited by Amort, De origine, pp. 96-101. Aside from the conden- : sations of the exposition, its principal differences from the bull are these: its list of sins and crimes for which the commissioner or his agents can convey absolution is

briefer; indulgences for souls in purgatory are not mentioned; the tax-list appears to , | be the commissioner’s interpretation of his discretion to fix the amount of alms; creation of a doctor of laws does not appear in the bull; nor is there mention in the bull of a@ poena et culpa. 643 Sc.

city and without, and also done all other things required to have been | done there for the obtaining of the said grace of the Jubilee. Also our said holy father hath given all power and authority to his

/ 645 Nepotibus. , | oO oe | We think your university are not ignorant of the serious and horrible _

486 , DOCUMENTS | calamity which, the multitude of common sins causing, has recently fallen upon the regions around Jerusalem, both from the atrocity of that deed, which report now scatters all around, and also from the letters which have

been sent throughout divers parts of the world about this. It is, more- | over, of interest to the Christian common weal, that for the aid of those __ parts both the greater prelates of churches, and also the less, play their parts faithfully with diligent solicitude; lest, if by chance aid should not come to that land with opportune celerity, that servile and accursed progeny of Ishmael, which has begun already to demolish with hostility the particular inheritance of the Lord in those parts, should, meanwhile, assume an increase of strength, and, prevailing in its vanity, should in- __ solently raise a heel against the son of the free woman, namely, the Christian, which God forbid, and persecute him more sharply. Since, therefore, the damages and losses of that land of Jerusalem, as in it Christ redeemed humanity by his death, touch all Christians generally, it pleases us, with the counsel of our brothers, to direct our writings for sending aid to that land first to you, who are placed in the watch-tower of the church, thereafter to others. Wherefore, we ask and exhort you in the Lord, and command by apostolic writings that you yourselves send competent aid for the help of that province, by the sending of both persons and things, so that others, when they see you doing this, may be more easily incited to imitate you in your example. And do you also effectively induce your subjects to do the same, so that, since you and those companions have been sharers of suffering, you ought also to be, as the apostle says, partakers of consolation and of

that remission which to those going thither or sending suitable aid was indulted previously by our predecessor, Pope Gregory of good memory, and afterward by us generally. We will, moreover, that you force clerks

who are subject to your jurisdiction, by our authority and yours, that from the goods which they have they do not delay to aid that land. Also — do each of you constitute in your bishopric discreet, faithful and prudent clerks, who ought zealously to collect the money of the subvention, and, with your counsel, and that of other prudent men if it should be neces-

sary, disburse it faithfully. Oe

| Moreover, whoever, being truly penitent, should go thither in his own person, will have remission of all sins. Moreover, those who should send a competent subsidy from their property to those parts, or send in their places any who ought to remain there for the defense of the Chris-

tian people, we commit to your judgment concerning the remission

| of sins to be granted to them, if they are truly penitent, both the quality

; 7 REVENUES © | 487 of the person and the quantity of the subvention having been considered.

Furthermore, if there are any among those going thither who are held , bound by oath to pay interest, do you compel their creditors by canonical

censure, without the hindrance of appeal, that forthwith they desist from the exaction of their oath. If, indeed, any are held strongly for pay-

ing something and have not been able at present to pay it, we will that, : sufficient guarantee having been received from their possessions and other | goods, the term of payment should be postponed up to their return, or, _ if they should die there, until the receipt of a certified messenger concern-

ing the death; lest, by reason of this, the advantage of a journey so neéces- |

sary at this time should be delayed meanwhile; so, nevertheless, that, | when they return, or a certain report shall have arrived concerning their death, the creditor can be satisfied adequately from the principal.

| Whence, because, ‘unless the Lord be the keeper of the city, the keepers | of it watch in vain,” nor does human wisdom profit, but rather fails, if it | should be destitute of divine help, before all things do you sedulously

invoke the mercy of God in prayers and order to be invoked continually

| throughout the churches that he await not upon the iniquities of the | | | people, but from pity alone and from on high he protect his sanctuary, —

the holy city of Jerusalem, nor permit it to be contaminated by the , :

impious hands of the wicked. - , ,

Be active also that you may recall whomever you find at discord , ,

{10 December 1316. Corpus iuris canonici, Extravagantes Ioannes, Tit. XIII, Cap. un, ,

_ edition of Friedberg, IT, 1218.} ,

Since the world and all who live in it continually run together to the

_ bosom of the sacrosanct Roman church, as if to a mother’s breasts filled , with sweetness, and to the kindness of the Roman pontiff, the vicar of | 688 For this bull see ibid., I, 161. 9 For this bull see ibid., I, 276-286. ;

| 500 DOCUMENTS Christ and successor of Peter, as if to a father’s love full of foresight, with the hope of favors, we believe it to be unworthy in our times that, in the graces in which we and that church abound, we should fail in gifts, lest occasion be given therein for murmuring, wherein the necessity of extol-

ling with gratitude was present, nor writing should render burdensome |

| what Wherefore liberality made agreeable. | in taxing about the writings of our letters and also of our

register as well as of the drafts of the abbreviators of the Roman court we will that moderation to be applied by which the persons to whom these

graces are granted may feel that those graces proceeded to them liberally from the apostolic see, and the aforesaid writers of those letters and _— also of our register and the abbreviators of the drafts, who meanwhile also sweat greatly with much labor on them, may be satisfied suitably for their labor. Therefore, for removing the excesses, difficulties, roundabout ways _

| and intricacies which can arise from various taxations of apostolic letters, we ordain that the mode written below be observed in these taxations, namely, that letters of grace with the accustomed clauses about a canonry

and prebend and other ecclesiastical benefice, with cure or without cure, vacant or to be vacant, even if it be a dignity, office or benefice giving a

, stall in a church,*®° be taxed at 10 grossi of. Tours and not more; its executory letter, indeed, be taxed at 12 of Tours and not more; and the same | ought to be observed in similar gracious letters about benefices, as for | example about any priory and administration of this sort, and about

their executory letters. : | If, however, in those letters of grace and their executory letters (as

above) any uncommon or unaccustomed clauses are added, it can be suit-

ably determined about the taxation of these clauses so, namely, that con- , sideration be not had in them of the greater or less favor that is granted, nor that its fruits, rents and revenues are more or less, and from this it be taxed more or less, but in taxing it consideration should be had for the labor, namely, so that the longer writing should be assessed more and the shorter less; nevertheless, this moderation having been added in taxing these clauses to be added, that, if the writing of the added clause does not make a line, that clause may not augment the taxation of the letter. If, however, by itself, or added together with other clauses, it makes a

line, it should be taxed at a fourth part of a grossus of Tours, and so for | each line of this added clause a fourth part of a grossus of Tours should be added in taxing. And if anything should be left over and be less than

660 Personatus. |

. a line, that part left over would not change the taxation. In this case,

| REVENUES SOL | moreover, we will to be understood a line which contains 150 letters, or contains 25 words. And [we will] that this taxation, until models are set, proceed in a certain way; that clause having been inserted, Verum ne sub eo praetextu, etc., which contains 4 lines, be taxed 1 grossus of Tours;

that clause also, Praebendam vero ac dignitatem, quae cum acceptatione , reservat, which contains 4 lines and a little more, be taxed at 1 grossus of ‘Tours; and in similar added clauses let the same be done according to the

~ number of lines. ; | - We will that taxation with the aforesaid moderation to be observed —T

with regard to the aforesaid letters in our register, when they are to be . registered ; also that the abbreviators observe this taxation with the afore- |

said moderation with regard to the drafts of the aforesaid letters, namely, —

of grace; for the executory letters of these graces, however, even if un- . common or unaccustomed clauses are added to them, those abbreviators

, receive only 2 of Tours. | Although we will this to be so observed in the taxation of the aforesaid | letters, nevertheless in the form of the poor, we will to be deferred to poverty, and our taxation in that, namely 8 grossi of Tours, to be inviol-

, ably observed. For we are taught with prophetic words that the man is

_. blessed who understands about poverty and want. : |

| About the taxation of letters which pass through the audience however, we have at present caused nothing further to be ordained, but the reason- , able method should be observed in regard to them which has been cus_ tomarily observed previously, especially according to the taxation of

those letters which is found to be written in the provincial book. | _- [Tn the taxations of which letters we maintain for reasonable causes that, as long, namely, as the Roman court remains this side of the moun-

tains, the grossus of Tours supersede the grossus of Rome. Moreover, _ , wherever mention is made of grossi in the aforesaid taxations we will , Tournois to be understood as long as the court should be this side of the , mountains. If, however, that court should be the other side of the mountains, namely, at Rome or in other places or parts of Italy, Roman should | be substituted for Tournois in the aforesaid taxations.

To this, our aforesaid ordinance, we add that, if by chance it should | come to pass—that is if and when it happens—that the engrossment ofa _

letter of grace should have to be rewritten, not by the fault, negligenceor = , defect of the writer, but either from the ignorance, blindness or listlessness of indolence, or from the occupation, distraction or any other occa_ sion of the abbreviator who had formed ineptly the draft from which the

engrossed letter was derived, it shall not injure this or that writer, but |

502 DOCUMENTS , | | ought to be attributed only to the abbreviator, so that the abbreviator should satisfy that writer in full according to the taxation for rewriting

that engrossed letter. , | Furthermore, in order that the aforesaid, which are instituted bene-

_ ficially by us for the advantage of the public, may find their observers the more diligent, because the transgressors of them shall know themselves to be struck by a greater penalty, we decree that all and each of the aforesaid, both the writers of our letters and of our register and the abbreviators of those drafts—which abbreviators we also command especially, _ under penalty of excommunication beyond the penalties written below, _

' that they observe the aforesaid taxations—who shall do contrary to the premises, namely, by taxing, exacting or receiving for themselves our aforesaid letters pertaining to benefices, or the drafts of them or the writing of them in the said register at more than they are taxed above, will be suspended by the thing itself for a period of six months from the office in which they shall have so offended. And if they shall have offended in it

, a second time, let them know themselves zpso facto deprived, in perpe-

~Let honor. , no man ther efore, etc. | tuity, of that office, which, so far as was in them, they attempted to dis-

| pontificate.

We will, moreover, in order that frauds may be avoided and we may look after the indemnity of the poor, that the notaries of the camera seek and cause to be delivered to them by solicitors a schedule of bulls, in which

are described all expenditures which those who solicit have made by reason of any bull, and that, after the schedules have been given into the hands of the notary, those solicitors swear that they have not given and will not give to any one for such solicitation beyond that which is

512 DOCUMENTS , expressed in the schedule, and likewise that they have not received from the principal for themselves or others more than that which is noted in the said schedule; so that, if that should be perjured, they would be de- , prived by that fact of the benefices obtained and unable to obtain similar benefices and offices; who, if they should be laymen, would incur by that ©

fact sentence of excommunication from which they could be absolved , only by us. But if they should be bulls which do not come to the camera, we command the same to be done by the officials of the registry of the bulls, and also by him who registers bulls at our secretariat, about which

we burden the conscience of the secretary. Lest, indeed, the parties should be burdened with a new exaction, we will that nothing be exacted | , by the aforesaid notaries and officials for registering the aforesaid schedules, all of which we order to be transcribed in a special book; who, if they

Because you have decided to consult the apostolic see about these things, the execution of which belongs to the pastoral office, we commend

| your fraternity in the Lord, hoping that, instructed by our answer, you

may execute them the more diligently, = |

You have asked, indeed, what should be done by you concerning those , who, the sign of the cross for the aid of the Holy Land having been

: REVENUES — «§T3 assumed, cannot advantageously fulfill the vow of the journey on account |

of infirmity or poverty or other just cause, inasmuch as you have : received the mandate by apostolic writings that without distinction, by ecclesiastical censure with appeal removed, you compel those who have _ , laid aside the sign of the cross to resume it and execute the vow, notwith-

standing any indulgence, if by chance any had been sought surrepti- :

_ tiously from our predecessor.** , oS |

We, therefore, answer your inquiry thus: that the weak and the poor , go thither to greater harm than advantage, since they cannot fight and ~ | they are forced to beg, unless perchance they are nobles and magnates — | who lead warriors with them at their expense, or are artificers and agriculturalists who, by their labors, can acquire the necessities for themselves ,

and supply aids to the land; although not many such are opportune on | account of the smallness of the possessions and the paucity of the inhabi-

- tants there. Whence we believe it ought to be distinguished between those who are believed to have a temporary cause of impediment and

those who are believed to have a permanent cause, so that delay is to be granted to the first, but upon the second redemption is to be enjoined, and, the extent of the things which they can do, or which:they ought to do, having been weighed, they should send in aid of the Holy Land the ex- | : penses of persons besides the compensation of labor, executing by others

| what they cannot fulfill by themselves. Further, we believe distinction ought to be made between those who take the vow of pilgrimage for the

_ defense of the Holy Land and those on whom the journey of pilgrimage ,

, is enjoined for the satisfaction of their crimes, so that more aid for the , Holy Land ought to be considered about the first and more labor of the | _ journey about the second, according to the intention of the one making the vow or of the penitent one. Whence, if any one of those making a vow

in this manner is useless for the fighting, though he should be fit to go, he | | may better redeem the vow than consume the expenses; which also ought

to be understood, indeed, about the penitent who cannot fulfill the jour- | ney of the enjoined pilgrimage on account of debility, but not concern- ,

is able to go. — | | |

ing that one who, although he may be powerless to fight, nevertheless,

About these things, moreover, diligent discretion should be brought , to bear lest anything should be considered in any way contrary to the

salvation of the soul or the advantage of the land for prayer or price, | , love or hate, or any other reason. Whence, we will this dispensation to

be provided by religious and prudent men. a

Concerning the solemn preaching of the cross. | In that same year, also, a solemn preaching is made both in England ,

and in France by the Brothers Preachers and Minors and other famous. | clerks, theologians and religious, who, by authority of the lord pope,

grant to those signing themselves with the cross, indulgence of the sins, | | of which, truly penitent, they should be confessed; who, passing through

) cities, castles and towns, and promising to those signed with the cross , many remedies in temporal affairs, namely, that interest to the Jews should no longer run, and the protection of the lord pope over the rents |

and things pledged for all their traveling expenses, incited an infinite |

number of people to the vow of the pilgrimage. | oo And later the lord pope sent to England Brother Thomas, a Templar,

a member of his household, with his authority, that what crusaders he | | should wish, and as it should seem expedient, he could absolve from the , vow of the pilgrimage after the receipt of money, which he said he would

| spend more advantageously for the promotion of the Holy Land. When | the crusaders saw this, wondering at the insatiable cupidity of the Roman |

court, they conceived great indignation in their minds, that the Romans by | so many arguments try so impudently to cheat the purses of the people. _

For the preachers added that, if any one should be signed or not signed with the cross, who could not make so laborious a journey in his own

person, he should not fail to confer what the resource of goods permitted | upon the aid of the Holy Land, and so should enjoy most fully the afore-

said indulgences. But all these things rendered the hearers suspicious. , . _ For they asked: “Will our dispenser be faithful?” And so itis done, be-

cause the lord pope conceived indignation against the people, began a | war, extorted money, collected a tenth from all regions and accumulated infinite money in order that he might defend the church. But, peace having been made quickly, the pope and the emperor are made friends; _ but the money was never restored. And so daily the devotion of many

and the faith of more wavered. = = ~— © | |

, Although we are held to think solicitously upon all the churches of the

, nevertheless, concerning those which are known to have no superior

mind, — , |

except the Roman pontiff, we are urged to think more diligently, es-

Indeed, recently, between the beloved sons, the archpriest and chapter ,

of the basilica of the prince of the apostles of the City on the one part, _ and John Castellani, canon, then appointed keeper of the altar of that | basilica by apostolic authority, on the other, a matter of dissension having | , arisen and having been brought to our hearing about the oblations which were made in the year from the nativity 1350, commonly called the ~

685 De crudamine.

530 DOCUMENTS jubilee, and at other times have been and are made from time to time, in

, that basilica, which the keeper of the altar said belonged to the apostolic , camera in full, but the aforesaid archpriest and chapter said certain parts | of those oblations belonged to them by privileges and customs, statutes and observances of that basilica; we, desiring to remove these dissensions,

| and to act in this affair with suitable favor for that archpriest and chapter, on account of reverence of that prince of the apostles for whose services they ought to be continuously free, with the consent and goodwill of that archpriest and chapter about the premises, by apostolic authority,

| ordain as is subjoined below. |

, First, indeed, we will and also ordain that the said archpriest and chapter are not held to restore anything further to the said camera of |

their receipts in the aforesaid jubilee year. , Further, if any vases, if any ornaments or ecclesiastical vestments, necessary to the divine offices and ministers for the cult of God, happen , to be offered in the future on that sacred and venerable greater altar of the prince of the apostles, after the example of Pope St. Leo IX, our predecessor, we will all those things to be applied to that basilica, there to remain perpetually in the use and allowance of those there serving and to |

serve God and the said prince of apostles. ,

The remaining vases, ornaments and vestments, however, not necessary to the said offices and ministers, as well also as all gold and silver, not coined or labored and existing in mass, which should be offered on the _ aforesaid greater altar, he who at the time should be keeper of the altar of that basilica, should receive and keep in the name of ourself and our

7 camera. oe

i The remaining oblations, indeed, which may be made from time to time

| on that greater altar in money and other things, except those expressed , above, should be kept in a safe place, according to custom, in common -by that keeper of the altar and four annual chamberlains of the said

chapter to be appointed by that chapter according to the form of the ,

| , statutes of that basilica, to be divided in a certain way and at certain times as follows: namely, that, of those remaining oblations, which may

be made for the time on the said greater altar, sharings or divisions and | choices of the moneys should be made only five times in each year, unless ~ necessity should require that there be more; of which the first should be

made on the first Sunday after the octave of Epiphany, the second on the | Saturday before the Sunday of the passion, the third, indeed, on the second or third day after Easter, the fourth on the morrow of the ascension of the Lord, and the fifth on the morrow of the dedication of the

' basilicas of Sts. Peter and Paul. , |

REVENUES | 531 - In the divisions and choices of moneys, moreover, at which all the

canons of the said basilica have been accustomed to be summoned and | congregated, to be made hereafter at the aforesaid times, and not other- | , wise, as is set forth, only the aforesaid four chamberlains with that — | keeper of the altar ought to be present, and each of the said chamberlains

who should be present at those choices, should receive only so much as ,

to receive from of old. Oo _ , . For these purposes we will and also ordain that a tenth part of all one of those canons present at those sharings and choices was accustomed |

those remaining oblations, which should be made for the future on the , | aforesaid greater altar in money and other things, except those consisting __

of vases, vestments, ornaments, gold and silver not coined, not labored | | _ and in mass, as is set forth, which tenth, indeed, was said to be owed to that archpriest and chapter by privilege for the lights and fabric of the

said basilica, hereafter the aforesaid archpriest and chapter may receive, for the canonical rights, through themselves or their said chamberlains, at

the times when those divisions ought to be made, from the whole amount

or accumulation of those oblations so to be divided. | | And also we will that, at the time of this partition or division to be

_ made on the second or third day after Easter, as is set forth, before it . comes to this division, the provision or pecuniary overflowing of the contributions®*** which have been made customarily at the twelve full | _ and as many half stations, and at the blessing of the fonts and the palli-

ums, and at the entry of the cathedral of St. Peter and at certain other , things pertaining to the divine cult in that basilica, and the aforesaid | , - -archpriest and chapter have been accustomed to receive from the afore- , | - said greater altar, should be received by the abovesaid chamberlains of _ the chapter from that whole amount or accumulation to be assigned to

that archpriest and chapter. — | , The remainder of that amount or accumulation, indeed, is to be divided |

as follows: namely, so that from that remainder the aforesaid archpriest _ and chapter, that they may be more diligent and assiduous in singing the divine offices, may receive a fourth part at each of those divisions when _ they are made, the remaining three parts to the abovesaid keeper of the

And we will that that keeper of the altar, as he has before been accus- | tomed in behalf of the said three parts, and the same archpriest and chap- | ter, in behalf of the said fourth part, be held to contribute to the lights

and to all to which they have been accustomed to contribute; so that the , _ said basilica may not be defrauded of its accustomed observances.

532 DOCUMENTS Moreover, since the keeper of the altar and the aforesaid archpriest | and chapter are both said to have received, contrary to the custom of that basilica, some of the oblations which have been made previously on the _ lesser altars of that basilica which are called ministers, we will and ordain,

| by the same authority, that all and each of the oblations which may be made in the future on any of those lesser altars, in whatever they consist, should be deposited in a safe and customary place in common by the

| aforesaid keeper of the altar and chamberlains, and that, at the times of the aforesaid divisions the keeper of the altar may receive half in the name

of the aforesaid camera and the archpriest and chapter the other half.

, - By our present ordination, however, which we will to obtain the strength of perpetual force, notwithstanding any contrary apostolic privileges, and statutes and customs or observances of that basilica, validated

by oath, apostolic confirmation or any other authority whatever, we

| do not intend to declare anything about oblations which in future jubilee years, God inspiring, may be made on that altar, nor about the rights of the camera or the aforesaid archpriest and chapter with regard to them,

or to take away anything from the privileges, statutes and customs by

| which the said archpriest and chapter assert certain parts of the portions | _of the oblations of the said basilica, which, as is asserted, at certain times

and days he who is at the time the bishop of Porto and S. Rufina has been accustomed to receive, to be owed to them. Let no man, therefore, infringe this page of our will, ordinance and intention, or with bold temerity act contrary to it. If, moreover, any should presume to attempt this, let him know himself to have incurred the indig-

nation of omnipotent God and his apostles, Sts. Peter and Paul. | Given at Avignon, II ides January, in the fourth year of our pontificate. GIFTS AND LEGACIES TO THE POPE —
