- Description
- Pope Nicholas IV commands the bishop of St Andrews to make enquiry and correct and reform the monastery of Arbroath in his diocese. Richard de Balergus and Robert of Weardale, monks of the same, as contained in their petition to him, have represented that Henry, who has been abbot for five years, has so afflicted the monks that they cannot bear his tyranny, and many have left, and others intend to do so, and that the abbot has given goods of the monastery to his relations, dowering his sisters and nieces, buying for them houses and possessions, to the injury of the monastery, and committing other specified irregularities and alienations.
