Document 2/140/43 (Glas. Reg., no. 166)
- Description
- Pope Gregory IX writes to the abbot and prior of Kelso and the master of the schools of Berwick, noting that the bishop of Glasgow has transmitted a petition to him revealing that though the church of Glasgow is subjected immediately to the apostolic see, his predecessors had been oppressed by heavy burdens of debt. The thus commands them to relieve the burden of debt by conceding the manors of the parish churches of Ancrum (ROX) and Stobo (PEB), in which the bishop asserts that he has the right of patronage, at the death or resignation of the rectors of the same, for up to three years after they shall be vacant. But not wishing to cause the church to sustain detriment from this grant, he further commands the profits of those churches, when they shall become vacant, to be converted into payment of the debts. If all of them cannot be present, let two of them do it.
