Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Theobald de Cambermer, Keeper of the temporal goods of the Abbot of Bec-Hellouin in England, and general attorney of the Abbot of Bec-Hellouin.
- Name(s)
- de Cambermer, Theobald
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Occupation
- Keeper of the temporal goods of the Abbot of Bec-Hellouin in England, and general attorney of the Abbot of Bec-Hellouin
- Nature of request
- Brother Theobald de Cambermer states that William Testa, executor of papal business has sent general orders to all priests and persons of religion in the province of Canterbury that they should have it announced in their churches that he is not to be treated as the Keeper of the temporal goods of the Abbot of Bec-Hellouin in England, and that no-one is to pay rent to him, buy from him, pay a debt to him, or deal with him in any way. The King then sent his prohibition to William, forbidding him from meddling with the Abbot's lay fee, and making special mention of the Abbot's manors, but William, on the Friday of the eve of St Barnabas solemnly excommunicated Theobald, Thomas de Hereford, his advocate, Henry de Okeburn, the Abbot's proctor, and John de Sonnighull, Bailiff of the manor of Ogbourne in the Court of Arches; and he also excommunicated anyone who offered aid to him. He requests a remedy, as the issues of the Abbot's manors and other lands in England are temporal, and the Pope cannot ordain or have cognisance of them.
- Nature of endorsement
- [This petition was once on a longer strip of parchment, and part of the dorse is now missing.] He is to sue in Chancery and have there a writ of attachment . . . before the King wherever etc. on the morrow of St John . . . for the King.
