Document 2/136/5 (Scotia Pontificia, no. 160)
- Description
- Pope Celestine III writes to the abbot and convent of Kelso, noting that they have reported to the pontiff that certain archdeacons and their officials, visiting churches under the monastery’s jurisdiction in the archdeaconries, make burdensome demands for hospitality from the monastery and those churches, bringing a far greater number of horses than stipulated in the Lateran Council. Archdeacons and their officials who are guilty of such extravagance need not be received in those churches. Sentences which they might presume to promulgate against the churches or their ministers because of such a refusal need not be obeyed.
