Paris. and first by his pontificall authoritie accursed all those that withheld the same possessions, and all their mainteiners (the king excepted) and therewith appealing to the pope he went to prosecute his ap|peale at Rome, whither the king and the earle sent also their procurators, and made the pope their arbi|tratour to iudge of the matter. In the end pope Gre|gorie hauing heard the whole processe of the contro|uersie, iudged the right to remaine with the archbi|shop, who hauing then obteined his desire, hasted to|ward England: but as he was returning home|wards, he died by the way, not farre from Rome, whereby the popes iudgement tooke no place: for whilest the sée was void, there was none that would follow the suit: and such was the end of this contro|uersie for this time.
