Document 2/127/1 (St A. Lib., 47-8)
- Description
- Pope Lucius II writes to Robert, prior of St Andrews, and, at the petition of Bernard, bishop of St David’s, Wales, takes the church of St Andrews into his protection; all the possessions and goods from the gift or grant of the bishop or other faithful which he possesses canonically or will possess in future by papal grant, by the liberality of kings or princes, may remain with the prior and his successors. The pope directs that no man is permitted to disturb the church or carry away its possessions; saving to the bishop canonical justice and reverence and 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 lose his honour and be liable to divine justice, and subject himself to retribution.
