Document 2/144/22 (Reg. Alex., no. 1015)

Description
Pope Alexander IV writes to Archibald, bishop of Moray, noting his petition, in regard to the election of a dean. A[ndrew] of Dunn was elected in accordance with the bishop’s oath to observe the statutes of his church, though the previous provision made by Pope Innocent to Nicholas of Heton has been upheld by Pope Alexander. Thus, the bishop fears he has incurred excommunication, and that his subsequent acts are irregular. The pope absolves him from the sentence of excommunication, and directs that his acts and collations be firmly observed.
