743 20 August 1313, Northampton (Norhampton). On
Thursday after the feast of Blessed Peter ad
vincula last [2 August] the nuns of the
Benedictine priory of Farewell, vac. by the death
of Anabilla, the last prioress, sought a licence
to elect a suitable prioress from the bp. The nuns
then elected Iseult de Pype as prioress and she
personally came to the bp. and humbly sought him
to admit her as prioress by virtue of her
election. The bp. was acting outside his diocese
at that time, hindered by various matters, and
commissioned the chancellor of Lichfield church to
examine Iseult de Pype in all matters and to
confirm the election if she should be found
suitable and worthy, provided that the rights and
customs of the monastery were observed.
