In the which year also died Lodovike the perjured french K. at the siege of Avignon,2 whom the pope now the second, or third time, had set up to fight against Raimund, the good Earle of Toulouse, and the Albigenses of ⟨p. 197⟩that Country, at which time also, he sent his Legate, M. Romanus, into France, to require of every Cathedral church two Prebendships: one for the Bishop, another for the chapter. And in Monasteries also, where the Abbot and Convent had divers portions, to require two Churches: one for the Abbot, the other for the Convent, keeping this proportion: that how much should suffice for the living of one Monk, so much the whole Convent should find for their part,3 and as much the Abbot for his. Which request of the Legate was denied: with further discourse, that if such exactions were not restrained, it were to be doubted, least an universal departing might follow from the church of Rome. Which words so moved the Legate, that he gave the matter over.
