96. Letter to the Dean [and Chapter] of Armagh. f. 18. 

 18 September, 1367. The latter had written on the Monday within the 

 octave of the na[tivity of B.V.M.] (13 September), asking the archbishop to 

 commit to some one among the Irish authority to absolve Ohandeloyn and 

 Donald Oneyll from the sentences passed on them for depredations against 

 the church of Armagh, for which they are prepared to give pledges sufficient 

 for the claim (plaeitum) of the men of Armagh. To which he replies that 

 their absolution from excommunication and the relaxation of the interdict 

 principally concern him, and only in a secondary degree the men of Armagh. 

 If the men of Armagh are willing to receive pledges satisfactory to them, 

 then they are to write to him on the subject, and he will deliberate about the 

 pledges to be delivered to him, and when sufficient amends have been made 

 for their offences, or pledges (pignoraticia cautione) given, absolution will be 

 granted. The archbishop has also sent a letter to Ohandeloyn by the hands 

 of Gristin the colideus, the bearer of the dean's letter, stating among other 

 things that absolution cannot be given till the dean and chapter have access 

 to him (no. 94). He is doing what he can about sending a messenger to the 

 curia, and he has also sent a letter about John Mariman, to which he will 

 affix his own seal, to be sealed with the common seal.
