The Papal Constitution \u3cem\u3eExecrabilis\u3c/em\u3e (1317) and Clerical Justices in the English Royal Courts
No full textA recurrent challenge of pastoral administration in the medieval Latin church was pluralism—simultaneous tenure by a cleric of more than one ecclesiastical benefice involving a cure of souls. To combat pluralism, Pope John XXII issued Execrabilis in 1317, requiring all pluralists to resign all but one benefice with cure of souls gifted by ecclesiastical patrons. Gilbert Rothbury, Hervey de Stanton, and John Bacun were the only three clerical justices in the English royal courts at the time Execrabilis was promulgated, and each was a pluralist. Using bishop’s registers, Chancery documents, and papal records, this essay compiles benefice portfolios for each justice and examines the impact of Execrabilis upon them. This study offers a deeper glimpse into judicial finances, judicial patronage, and the relationships among medieval judges, prelates, and lay leaders in early fourteenth-century England

Also, eligible members of the governing body could be suspended without pay by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Board of Community Affairs.
