4. Account of proceedings in the dispute between Christ Church and 

 1300, St. Patrick's in regard to the election of Archbishops of 



Dublin. ■ f. 6. . 



On the festival of St. Francis of the Order of Friars Minor (24 May ?),^ 

 1300, John Braybrok reached Dublin with bulls from the Eoman Curia, 

 dated at the Lateran 28 March, 1300, in which Boniface (VIII) stated that 

 Matthew (Kubeus), Cardinal deacon of St. Mary de Portion, had been delegated 

 to hear this case, but that for many years no proceedings had taken place, 

 and that lately Matthew has cited the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's to 

 appear, but that they had not done so. The Pope therefore directs the 

 Archbishop, Dean, and Archdeacon of Armagh to cause the Dean and 

 Chapter aforesaid to appear before them within six months to defend the 

 case. The Archbishop, Dean, and Archdeacon accordingly, on 6 July, by 

 theii' commissary, the Prior of Athirde, caused them to be cited in St. Patrick's. 

 Thereupon the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's made the following demands : 

 That on a voidance of the See, both chapters should seek royal licence to 

 elect ; that the Prior and convent of Holy Trinity should fix the time for the 

 election, and summon those who had a right to be present thereat ; that the 

 election should be held at the Church of the Holy Trinity, and that the Prior 

 thereof should have the first voice in it : that the decree of election should be 

 sealed with the seals of both chapters ; that the consecration (if in Ireland) and 

 enthronization should take place at Holy Trinity ; that at the election on the 

 next voidance three or four of the " majores " of St. Patrick's should be 

 present "tamquam amici non ut electores"; and that on subsequent occasions 

 the election should be by both chapters.

 translation was observed at Lincoln on 24 May.
