Wadset by Ewen (Eugenius), son of Conan (Connyng), granting that he had wadset to the Abbot and Convent of Cupar for 20 merks sterling his wood of Kelbrochachi which they were to hold free from all service, aid, etc. until the said sum was repaid, so that it should be unlawful for the granter or his heirs to give, sell, cut or take away any part thereof unless for fuel or for building and repairing his own houses. The Abbot and Convent are likewise prohibited from disposing of or using the wood unless for the erection of their own buildings, (their forester having the branches and dead wood) and the granter was to have his servant there to look after his crops and pasture, and also to keep the said wood with the said forester. It is also provided that if the granter or his heirs should wadset his lands of Kelbrochachy or any part thereof, or grant the same for ferm to any one, except to his daughters or their husbands, or alienate it for a period or for ever, the Abbot and Convent should have it before others for the same price which others are willing to pay; and that whenever the said sum was repaid, the wood was to return to the granter, reserving to the Abbot and Convent their common therein which they had from of old by the collation of his ancestors. The granter binds himself to warrant and defend this agreement and grants that he can be compelled to observe it by royal distraint (districtum regium), ecclesiastical censure, or by any other way which seems to the Abbot and Convent expedient, renouncing all exceptions of law and of fact, all prohibition, the aid of law, whether canon or civil, all letters obtained from courts and all indulgences granted or to be granted for the Crusades. Moreover the granter submits himself to the jurisdiction of Mr. W., archdeacon, and Mr. H., official, of Dunkeld, who may without warning pronounce sentence of excommunication against him and his heirs and sentence of interdict against their lands if they contravene this grant, relaxation not being granted until the Abbot and Convent are satisfied for the damage caused by the contravention, which was to be assessed by the Abbot and two of the monks without any other proof. Attested by the seals (awanting) of the granter and the said official. At the White Chapel of the Friars of the Order of Mount Carnely at Perth on the day of St. Dionisius (9 October) 1282 |
