Lawlou — A Calendar of the Register of Archbishop Fleming. 119 



Arthur Oneyll, took oath on the Gospels, the chalices, the " crux dominica," 

 and other relics, that within a term long since past they would restore to the 

 archbishop and his tenants, true natives of the same, the lands of the church 

 of Armagh usurped by them, and pay each his own portion of the rents for 

 the time during which they had kept possession thereof, and that they would 

 desist from violence towards the tenants ; and that this oath has not been 

 fulfilled. Therefore the above are commanded (1) to admonish Maurice, 

 Kory, and Arthur, by name and expressly, that within twelve days they act 

 in accordance with it, and give satisfaction to the tenants for injuries inflicted 

 on them, and do public penance for their perjuries ; (2) if this monition prove 

 ineffectual, to denounce them at mass as perjurers and excommunicate, and 

 to place their lands and all lands in which they shall tarry under ecclesiastical 

 interdict, and to admonish the faithful to have no dealings with them. 



The date is inferred from the position of the letter in the Register. 



75. Letter of the archbishop, guardian of the spirituality of the Bishopric 

 12 May, 1408. of Dromore, sede vacante, coniirming [space in MS.] in the 

 vicarage of Dromard [in title, Dremard ; elsewhere Drumard), diocese of 

 Dromore. f. 15^. 



Dated at the manor of Dromeskyn. 



76. Letter of inhibition and citation to R(obert Montayne), Bishop of 

 c. 25 June (?), 1408. Meath. f. 16. 



States that William Mollys {also written Molys), clerk of the diocese 

 of Meath, proctor of (Eichard : named as one of the litigants lower down, hut 

 omitted in the list at the heqinnbiq of the letter), Philip Rede, Peter Sower, 

 Donald Eed, and Sir Matthew M°cu, parochial chaplain of Lercor, diocese 

 of Meath, exhibited to the archbishop, in the chapel of his manor at 

 Dromeskyn, an appeal in his own name and theirs, from the hearing of the 

 bishop to the court of Armagh, in regard to injuries inflicted by the bishop 

 on him and them. The appeal having been admitted the archbishop inhibits 

 the bishop from taking further action while the case is pending, and cites him 

 to appear at St. Peter's Church, Droghda, on the Monday " after the feast," etc. 



The day for which the bishop was cited must have been shortly before Thursday, 12 July, 1408 

 (see no. 77). And since it was Monday, it cannot have been later than 9 July. The citation 

 was probably issued about a fortnight liefore it (op. nos. 78, 79). Hence the date is determined. 



77. Apostles granted to Robert (Montayne), Bishop of Meath. f. 16'. 

 12 July, 1408. The archbishop informs Pope Gregory (XII) that he had 

 received the appeal of Philip Rede, William Molys, clerk, Peter Sower, and 

 Donald Rede, of the diocese of Meath, and had inhibited and cited the bishop 

 as in no. 76. The bishop having thereupon frivolously appealed to the 

 Apostolic See, the archbishop grants him this writing in place of apostles
