This is the last payment during King Henry the 3d. his reign, who paid it with much reluctancy and unwillingnesse, delaying it many years together, and never issuing out Warrants to pay it, but when he had extraordinary pressing occasions to make use of the Popes and Cardinals favour and assistance, whereby he might reap far greater advantages then the damage of its payment now and then at his own pleasure, amounted to.
King Henry the 3d. deceasing in the 57. year of his reign, and King Edward the 1. succeeding him, Pope Gregory the X. in the 3d. year of his reign, sent this com∣plemental Bull unto him, (the original whereof I found in the White Tower, with sundry other Bulls of consequence, long buried under dust and cob-webs) humbly requiring and beseeching the King to assist and advise Nogerius his Chaplain, in collecting the Tribute of the Church of Rome, and Peter-pence, in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, to give him a safe conduct whenever desired, and particular∣ly to assign unto him freely and fully seven years arrears, formerly due, and that present years Annual Pension, wherein he stood bound to the Church: The Trans∣cript whereof I shall here present you with.
