Document 2/153/5 (Scone Lib., no. 121)
- Description
- Pope Honorius IV writes to the abbot of Holyrood, noting that he has heard that from the abbot and convent of Scone that some clerics and laymen had conceded certain teinds, houses, lands, possessions, meadows, pastures, forests, mills, rights, jurisdictions and certain other goods given to the same monastery, some for life, some for a long time, and others perpetually, at ferme or sub censu annuo, some of which they had obtained letters of confirmation by the apostolic see, to the great injury of the monastery. He thus commands him to discover what goods have been alienated by this manner and return them to the right and property of the monastery, compelling the opponents by ecclesiastical censure without appeal. If the witnesses named shall have withdrawn out of favour, hatred or fear, they shall compel them by the same censure, without appeal, to provide testimony of the truth.
