Patricio de Spaldyng legum profeasore decano, Aberdonensi:
Charters of the Abbey of Coupar Angus, vol II, page 16
On 28 May, 1387, the petition of Patrick de Spaldyng, student in arts at Paris, for a canonry of Brechin is granted (CPR., Pet., i. p. 668). As M.A. and student of civil law (at Avignon) and subdeacon, he petitions for and is granted a canonry of Aberdeen, although he has the church of Lundy, canonries of Moray and Dunkeld and the prebend of Old Roxburgh in Glasgow, 9 Aug., 1394 (ibid., Pet., i. p. 678). Likewise, on 29 Oct. of the same year, he petitions for and is granted a benefice in the gift of Lindores (ibid., Pet., i. p. 593). On 15 Sept., 1402, he petitions for a canonry of Brechin, notwithstanding he has the precentorship of Dunkeld, and this benefice is granted him (ibid., Pet., i. p. 618).
As dean, he witnesses a charter, 16 May, 1406 (Spalding Club Misc., v. p. 264); and, on 4 April, 1407, subscribes a charter as dean along with his chapter (REA., i. p. 211). On 20 July, 1416, he is granted, on his petition, the perpetual vicarage of Ellan (CPR., Pet., i. p. 603); and, on 14 Feb., 1415/16, is stated to have a dispensation to hold a canonry of Moray and the church of Lundy and seeks successfully confirmation of a canonry, prebend and the deanery of Brechin (ibid., Pet., i. p. 602). A petition of James Lindsay seeks provision of the deanery of Aberdeen, said to be void through Spalding's holding it, undispensed, together with Elion, 17 July, 1419 (Supplic8., p. 89). A papal letter, 30 Aug., 1422, refers to the canonry of Brechin void by the recent death of Spalding at Rome (CPR., viii. p. 242), and the deanery of Aberdeen is said to be void for the same reason, 27 Oct., 1423 (Benefices, p. 87).
