Document 2/143/182 (Foedera, i, I, 303)
- Description
- Pope Innocent IV writes to Master John de Frusinon, his chaplain in the kingdom of Scotland, noting that at the proposition of the king of England, he has granted a twentieth of the profits of all churches in the kingdom of Scotland for up to three years. He thus commands him to collect this twentieth himself or through another, if it shall be done without scandal, so that the pope may distribute it just as it may be paid for those troubles; compelling the opposition by ecclesiastical censure without appeal. Those who have already paid a twentieth in the same kingdom, for three years, following what was established in the Lyon Council, should not pay another twentieth, and those who had not given it in full should be compelled to pay the remainder in full. No prelates of the church or other personae may be excommunicated, suspended or [placed under] interdict, having not made mention, of this indult. Any assistance or subsidy of this sort may not be hindered or delayed, by whatever other papal indulgences and letters.
