The Bishop of Ossory Is Charged With Fomenting Feuds Among the Magnatese
June 18, 1329
The Bishop of Ossory was accused of inciting feuds among local magnates—a serious charge of meddling in regional power struggles. Facing these allegations, the bishop fled to England, avoiding legal or royal scrutiny. When summoned before the King, instead of appearing, he escaped again—this time to Rome, seeking refuge likely under the protection of the Church.
