Description
Pope Lucius III writes to Brother Jocelin, bishop of Glasgow, taking the church of Glasgow, a special daughter of the Roman church with no intermediary, into his protection; all the possessions and goods which they have or may acquire by papal permission, by the liberality of kings or the gifts of the faithful, may remain with the bishop and his successors, including Glasgow (LAN), the burgh of Glasgow with all its liberties which King William granted and strengthened with his script, Govan (LAN), Partick (LAN), Shettleston (LAN), Cadder (LAN), ‘Bodermonoc’ (LAN), Bedlay (LAN), Kinclaith (LAN), ‘Tor’ (???), Carstairs (LAN), Stobo (PEB), Gilmerton (MLO), Ashkirk (SLK), Lilliesleaf (ROX), Troneyhill (ROX), Ancrum (ROX) with all its lands, churches, chapels and other pertinents, the chapel in the castle of Roxburgh, the churches of Old Roxburgh (ROX), Morebattle (ROX), Hassendean (ROX), Wilton (ROX), Traquair (PEB), Peebles (PEB), Kirkurd (PEB), Carnwath (LAN), Carmichael (LAN), East Kilbride (LAN), Cadzow (LAN), Renfrew (RNF), Moffat (DMF), Kirkpatrick Juxta (DMF), Dryfesdale (DMF), Castlemilk (St Mungo, DMF), Hoddom (DMF), ‘Lohcwhouerd’ (Borthwick, MLO), Colmonell (AYR), with all churches, chapels and other pertinents; also the districts of his diocese, namely, Teviotdale, Tweeddale, Clydesdale, Eskdale, Ewesdale, Liddesdale, Dryfesdale, Annandale, Lennox, Strathgryf, Mearns, Largs, Cunningham, Kyle, Carrick, Glencairn, Strathnith, Desnes and whatever rights in Galloway; the teinds of the king’s cain in Kyle and Carrick, and the eighth part of all the king’s pleas in the diocese in gold, silver and animals and the tofts and lands in the king’s burghs pertaining to those churches; the prebends of the churches. He also establishes the prebends added by Jocelin’s predecessors and forbids anyone from invading or illicitly detaining them; and he establishes the liberties and immunities indulged by the kings of Scots, and the customs, rents and services pertaining to the churches. The pope directs that no man is permitted to disturb the church or carry away its possessions; saving the authority of the apostolic see. Should any secular person attempt to go against this, after three warnings if he should not make amends, he may lost his honour and be liable to divine justice, and subject himself to retribution.
