Document 2/143/115 (Newb. Reg., no. 226)
- Description
- Pope Innocent IV writes to all the clergy in the kingdom of Scotland, noting that it was granted to the Cistercian order by his predecessors, which he afterwards indulged and established, that no one could exact teinds from them in respect of work that they did with their own hands or at their own expense. He commands by apostolic authority that they should prohibit all their parishioners who presume to do this. He commands that they should excommunicate laymen who attempt to exact teinds from the brothers of Newbattle, until proper penance has been performed; clerics who so behave should be suspended under the same conditions. He also instructs that if anyone attempts violence against the brothers of Newbattle, they should publicly proclaim him to be excommunicated, and he should be treated as such until he renders fitting satisfaction to those injured, and until he presents himself before the pope with a letter on the matter from his diocesan bishop.
