Reference: SC 8/21/1027
Description:
Petitioners: William Courtenay, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Name(s): Courtenay, William
Addressees: King and lords in parliament.
Occupation: Archbishop of Canterbury
Nature of request: William, Archbishop of Canterbury, requests the right to present to benefices in the diocese of St Asaph, as his predecessors have done since before the forfeiture of the last Prince of Wales, as the king has recently made several presentations during a vacancy.
Nature of endorsement: This petition is to be sent before the king's great council, and there, when both the king's counsel and the party's have been heard, justice is to be done. And furthermore the king wishes of his especial grace that, although the Archbishop might receive a parson to a benefice of the patronage of the bishop St Asaph during a vacancy, at the king's presentation, this is not to be prejudicial to the Archbishop in future.
Places mentioned: Seint Assa (St Asaph) diocese, [Wales].
Note: This petition must date from immediately after the vacancy in St Asaph's that occurred between the death of Lawrence Child in December 1389 and the consecration of Alexander Bache in May 1390.
Date: [c. 1390]
