Richard Fleming was Bishop of Lincoln from 20 Nov. 1419 to 25 Jan. 1431. Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter in Westminster. |
Defendant was found guilty, and took his clergy.
It was alleged against defendant that once he was attaint of another larceny at Oxford and there took his clergy and was delivered to the bishop of Lincoln, ordinary of the same place, and when he was on the road to be brought to Banbury, where the bishop's prison was, the clerks of Oxford took him and let him go at large.
And it was said that he was safe enough by his clergy, and was once dead of record, but because 'stat- mater ecclesia nemini claudit gremium' (Latin maxim: our holy mother the church never closes her bosom to anyone) he had the privilege of holy church another time.
And it was disputed whether he would be sent to the prison of the bishop of Lincoln, where he was before or to the Abbot of Westminster, and at last he was sent to the Abbot of Westminster |
