| Description | From: Richard of Gravesend, bishop of Lincoln
To: the bishop of Worcester; the abbot of Waltham Abbey
Richard cannot be present at the hearing ('ventilatio') of the disputes between Boniface of Savoy, archbishop of Canterbury, and the prior and convent of Dover Priory, defendants ('pars rea'), and the prior and convent of Canterbury Cathedral Priory, plaintiffs ('pars actrix'). He therefore asks the addressees to proceed without him.
Given at Ewell [Kent].
Endorsed 'Dovor' in late 13th cent hand. |
