Pope Adrian IV and His Irish Bull
Chicago professor Oliver Thatcher concludes the famous papal bull Latinibiliter is a medieval Latin exercise by a twelfth century student rather than a genuine grant linking Ireland as a fief of England. The study, based on Barote and Vatican Latin texts, argues the document is forged and unusable for assessing England's claim to Ireland.
