to king Edward. |

(f. 6d.) |
To Henry, earl of Derby. The pope has heard, with displeasure, of the hindrance his people have met with in their
journey, which must be displeasing also to king Philip. The
pope desires him to come to confer with him touching the

Avignon.
(f. 40.) |
To king Edward. The pope has received his
letters by
Andrew de Offord, touching the reservation and provision
made to William, papal nuncio, of the see of Norwich, contrary to an ordinance of Parliament, and praying the pope
to cease from making provisions and reservations of bishoprics. The pope has already written to the king touching novelties
attempted against God and the Holy Roman church, and, as
the universal pastor of all churches, he does not intend to make
such provisions and reservations unless he believes them to be
expedient for the churches themselves. As to the opposition
to and petitions against reservations and provision made by
the pope's predecessors of many bishoprics and benefices in the
realm, the king must be well aware that his councillors, by
making ordinances against the liberties of the church, incurred
divine and canonical penalties. The pope and the cardinals
have lately heard that edicts have been sent to divers parts of
the realm in derogation of ecclesiastical liberty, to say nothing
of the seizure and imprisonment of many ecclesiastics, and the
stoppage of papal letters and grants, so that hardly anyone
dares present them in the realm. The pope now repeats exhortations already made to the king, and calls on him to hear
the counsel of his father, and to honour the Roman church, his
mother, from whom he and his ancestors have received many
benefits; reminding him of the Lord's declaration and the
power of binding and loosing given to Peter. The pope exhorts and entreats him, by the mercy of God, to act as a
catholic prince, and to permit nothing to be done in his realm
against the Roman church and ecclesiastical liberty, which the
pope will defend, as having to give account in the last judgment. |

second schedule, or at least of the first. |

Villeneuve by

(f. 91.) |
To Charles, duke of
Brittany. Among the matters which
demand the pope's anxious attention is that of the reformation
of peace between the kings of France and England, to which
end he has sent cardinals Peter, bishop of Palestrina, and Anibaldus of Tusculum as nuncios, and calls upon the duke to
comply with the clause of the truce touching its observance in
Brittany, and to revoke whatever has been done against it, under pain of such sentences as the pope shall see fit to promulgate. |

To Henry, earl of Derby. The pope
has gladly received his
letters sent by John de Rippis, Carmelite, his confessor and
envoy, and papal chaplain, who has informed the pope of his
diligence in inducing king Edward to make peace with
Philip. He is still very desirous of such a peace, and of a
crusade. But as the said envoy was charged to open the matter
in secret to John de Offord, dean of Lincoln, to whom he gave
the king's as well as the earl's letters, the pope called to his
presence both the dean and the chaplain, and having conferred
with them, it was agreed that before the pope came to the place
written of by the earl, the king of England should state to the
earl what lands and sums of money are to be given to him, or
should intimate the same by a special envoy, or secret letters,
which the pope will receive as under the seal of confession, and
will labour to bring the king of France to agree to fitting and
tolerable terms. The pope exhorts the earl to add to his merits
by using all diligence in bringing the business to the desired
end. |
Ibid.
(f. 100.) |
To the same. Among the matters touched on by them
when
speaking together at a time when the earl was at the apostolic
see, that of the revocation of novelties attempted in England
against ecclesiastical liberty was mentioned. As no further
communication has been made by the earl in this matter, the
pope desires him, as he told him by word of mouth, to use his
influence touching the same, and to write to the pope an
account of what has been done. |
|
Ibid. |
To John, archbishop of Canterbury. Exhorting him to follow
the example of his predecessor, St. Thomas, in defending the

Ibid.
(f. 100d.) |
To the same. The pope has received his
letters by John de
Rippis, and commends him for his labours touching the reformation of peace, about which the pope has conferred with the
said envoy, and with John de Offord, to whom the king's, and
his, and the earl of Derby's letters have been presented. The
archbishop's envoy will bring a verbal report of what was then
agreed upon, and the inexpediency of the pope's coming to the
place suggested by the earl until he hears more of the intention
of the parties, between whom the pope urges him to continue
his labours for peace |

diminished. |

received Master John
de Thoresby, canon of Lincoln, and Ralph Pigornel, knight, the
king's envoys. As the earl, when at the apostolic see, spoke to
the pope privately touching the reformation of peace, and then
sent John de Rippis, after which the pope wrote to the earl, he
holds to what he said and wrote touching the matter, and is
writing to the king in this sense. He requests the earl to induce
the king to make the desired peace, and also to use his influence
touching the novelties, offensive to God and the church. |

(f. 152.) |
To the same. The pope has received his envoys, John
de
Thoresby and Ralph Spigornel; and informs him that he holds
to what he has spoken and written to the earl of Derby touching
the peace, as also touching the crusade, to promote which should
now be the object of catholic princes. He has also conferred
with John de Offord and the envoys. It was thought expedient
that the king should lay open his proposal to the earl, who
would secretly convey it to the pope, by whom it would be
received as under the seal of confession, and who would, being
thus informed, be better able to use his influence in the interests
of peace. He therefore prays the king to confide in him, and he
will try to induce the king of France to do the like. |
Ibid.
(f. 154.) |
To the same. The pope has thought good not to grant
at
present a dispensation for the marriage of the prince of Wales

between the two crowns may be more easily arranged. |

of John XXII. for poor clerks, he being at the time of accepting it in his twenty-third year, and afterwards dispensed by the
present pope, with an order to give half the fruits received to the
crusade against the Turks. But as he received them in good
faith, and has spent them all on necessaries, so that he has not
wherewith to make restitution, this remission is given to him. |
17 Kal. Feb.

peace [with France], so that all catholic princes may join in a
like enterprise. [Fœdera.] |
7 Id. Feb.
Avignon.
(f. 196.) |
To Philip, king of France. From the envoys
of king Edward
the pope has heard that, although some persons in England
endeavoured to hinder their mission, it was ordered in council, on 17 January, that Henry, earl of Derby, and Bartholomew
de Burghassch, baron, the king's councillors, were to come, and
that the papal nuncios were furnished with a safe-conduct. The pope therefore prays king Philip to comply with the request conveyed to him in letters sent by Guy, bishop of Autun, and to have his envoys ready to meet those of king Edward. |
|
Ibid. |
To the said bishop. The pope is surprised that he has received no letter from him since his departure on his mission. He has heard from the king's envoys of the order in council
touching the earl of Derby and Bartholomew de Burghasscb, and that the papal nuncios had a safe conduct from king
Edward. Wherefore the pope orders him to obtain an answer
from king Philip, to whom he is writing. |

To Philip, king of France. Sending a
copy of the letters
brought by Michael de Northburgh, D.C.L. canon of Lichfield, and Nigel de Loring, knight, king Edward's envoys, touching
the delay of the mission of the earl of Derby and Bartholomew
de Burghassch. The said envoys, in the presence of William, bishop of Norwich, and John de Offorde, dean of Lincoln, also
envoys of the said king, explained that the delay was caused by
breaches of the truces, especially in Brittany, and by reason that
Charles, duke of Brittany, was making warlike preparations by
sea. Also before the aforesaid letters were presented one of the
king's envoys prayed for licence to depart, and both he and
another of his colleagues, and many English at the papal court, are getting ready to leave it, so that the hope of a treaty of peace
cannot at present be entertained. Wherefore let king Philip
provide, so as to be prepared. A certain one, to whom many
secret matters used to be written from England, and who used
to tell them to the pope, has shown him a letter, just arrived, of
which a copy has been given to Frenchmen at the papal court, to whom and to others the pope has unfolded by word of mouth
many things touching this matter, ordering them to give the
said copy to the king, and to convey to him what the pope has
said. |
15 Kal. April.

(f. 236d.) |
To king Edward. Sending copies
of letters written by the
doge of Venice and of others touching the disturbances in the
east, and informing him of the commission given to Raymund, bishop of Terouanne, of the eastern legation, and to Bertrand de

the arms of orthodox princes may be turned against enemies
of the faith. [Fœdera.] |

To Philip, king of France. Sending him

(f. 238d.) |
To king Edward. The pope has
received his letters by his
envoys, Michael de Northburg and Nigel de Loring, with his
excuses for not sending the earl of Derby and Bartholomew de
Burghassch, and has heard the explanations given by the said
envoys in the presence of the bishop of Norwich and John de
Offord, but he finds them unsatisfactory. He has offered to
spare no labour to make peace with king Philip if the said earl
and Bartholomew come with instructions. He therefore prays
the king to prolong the truce for a year from Michaelmas next, adding that letters touching the breaches of the truce have been
sent by Guy, bishop of Autun, to king Philip, who assures the
pope that he has done his best to observe the truce, and will
send envoys to meet those of king Edward. |
Ibid.
(f. 239.) |

(f. 245d.) |
To king Edward. The pope, having
sent William, bishop of
Norwich, to lay before the king the matter of collations and
provisions, or other things which belong to the apostolic authority, does not intend to restrict or limit his own power touching
the same, although he will not exercise it so freely as he did at
the time of his accession. If, therefore, any other suggestion
is made, the king is to give no credence to it. |

Pictavia, Master Firmin de Coquerello, dean of Paris, and Peter
de Verberia, his councillors. |

To John, duke of Brabant. The pope has favourably received his envoys; but informs him, touching a dispensation

dispensation refused, wherefore, if the like answer is given to
his envoys, the pope begs to be excused. |
