Document 2/143/144 (Dunf. Reg., no. 293)
- Description
- Pope Innocent IV writes to the abbot of Holywood and the sacrist of Glasgow, noting that the abbot and convent of the monastery of Dunfermline had undertaken to relate to him that some clerics and laymen had conceded certain lands, possessions, services, pensions, rents and certain other goods given to the monastery, some for life, some for a long time, and others perpetually, at ferme or sub annuo censu, some of which they had obtained letters of confirmation by the apostolic see, to the great injury of the monastery. He thus commands them to discover what goods have been alienated or divided by this manner and return them to the right and property of the monastery, compelling the opponents by ecclesiastical censure without appeal. If the witnesses named shall have withdrawn out of favour, hatred or fear, they shall compel them by the same censure, without appeal, to provide testimony of the truth.
