it, and heai the archbishop's pleasure coucerniug it, they gathered a band 

 (facta coUeetione) of the clerks and laymen of nearly the entire diocese, who 

 appeared armed as for war. Among them, as a "tertius principalior" in the 

 rebellion, was John Dommgan, pretended rector of Camlin in the diocese of 

 Down. Two men whom the archbishop had sent beforehand to provide food, 

 in the chapel at Yiride Castrum in the diocese of Down, were killed in the 

 presence and with the approval of Dommgan, and many were woiinded. 

 Thereupon the archbishop pronounced sentence of suspension, excommunica- 

 tion and interdict against the prior and all who aided him. From this sentence, 

 as it is said, they made a frivolous appeal, without notifying the same to the 

 archbishop, and sent Dommgan as their proctor to the Eoman curia. He 

 desired that many objections against the archbishop should be set forth in 

 public consistory, all of which were false (que in omnibus suis partibus 

 requirentui' subjecte falsitati). For the archbishop the Pope was therefore 

 prayed to commit to Sir Peter Flandilni, auditor of causes, all the causes to 

 be moved by the archbishop against the prior and others concerned with 

 him, about the spirituaKty and spiritual jurisdiction, possession and rebeUion, 

 &c., though they did not properly belong to the curia, and though a com- 

 mission had been issued with regard to some of the premises to the CareUnal 

 of Kimes iLe. John de Blandiaco, Bishop of Kimes, cardinal priest of St. Mark) 

 who was absent. The Pope gave an order granting this petition, consisting 

 of a single sentence " written at the end of the sheet (cedule) of the com- 

 mission or suspension by another hand and in a quite different character 

 (Utera)." James de Prato, who appeared as proctor for the archbishop, 

 complained that certain documents essential to his case were detained by 

 notaries and others in the diocese of Down and the two adjoioing dioceses, 

 and sought a remedy. The auditor commanded certain persons (not named), 

 within six days after request is made to them to that effect on behalf of the 

 archbishop, to admonish such of the bef orementioned notaries and others whom 

 the bearers of the command may consider it necessary to name to them, that 

 they shall dehver the documents to the archbishop or his proctor or transmit 

 them to the curia. 



The dale is not legible. But tlie violent proceedings desciibed seem to belong to a period when 

 the see of Down was racaut, and may therefore be placed in the period following October, 136-5 (see 

 no. 85), or shortly after the death of Bishop WUliam White (August, 1368). The former date is 

 more likely, since a case concerning vacancy of the see of Down was in progress at the curia in 1366 

 (see no3. 93, 138). The document was certainly earlier than 30 May, 1371, when Peter Flandrini 

 became a cardinal (Eubel i. 21).
