Document 2/7/98 (Pais. Reg., 204)
- Description
- Robert, bishop of Glasgow, commands the dean of Christianity of Lennox, under the penalty of canonical distraint, to admonish Malcolm, earl of Lennox, and the bailies and suitors of his court (taking with him four of five of his companions of his order) that they should not presume to draw or harrass the Abbot and convent of Paisley to a forbidden or secular court over their alms-lands that belong to their church of [Old] Kilpatrick (DNB); since plaints of such alms-lands are considered to belong to the ecclesiastical court, according to the liberties of the Scottish Church heretofore used and granted by the king; and the bishop is prepared, as he ought, to exhibit the full weight of justice on these and other matters to any complainants.
