| Description | [Writer and addressee not named, but presumably Robert Winchelsey and Prior Henry of Eastry.] Geoffrey of Romney ('Romenal'), precentor of Canterbury Cathedral Priory, and Robert de Celeseya have nothing to show that they are acting as notaries ('instructor') for the priory in the business of the election of Robert Winchelsey, archdeacon of Essex, as archbishop of Canterbury. Letters should therefore be issued in the name of Henry of Eastry, prior of Canterbury Cathedral Priory, and the chapter of Canterbury Cathedral Priory in the form specified and dated with the date on which Geoffrey and Robert were sent to the papal curia. The date of the decree which the addressee sent the writer by Mgr William de Sardinia was 20 Mar 1293 in the chapter house of Canterbury Cathedral Priory. No date. [Date: date of DCc-ChAnt/S/382/3 to which it is stitched at top left.] |
