075 | "Richard Waus of Mewy, burgess of Aberdeen, by a charter, dated 1st May 1469, granted to the friars Minors of the observance of Saint Francis the who [whole] lands and property belonging to him, situated on the east side of the Gallowgate (now Broad Street) for their Monastery, provided they obtained the Consent of the Bishop and the King to the ailenation. By James III's letter under the privy seal, dated at Edinburgh, the 9th of the same Month he ratified and confirmed the donation, and on the 26th, Thomas Spens, bishop of Aberdeen, gave his Consent by a similar writing; but it became necessary to have the concurrence of the pope, which was afterwards obtained, to the erection of the Monastery and Church. The property was accordingly afterwards resigned by the donor to Mr. Alexander Waus Canon of the Cathedral of Aberdeen, in name and on behalf of those friars, and by him assigned to a venerable father John de Nucia guardian of the Convent of Limburg, of the province of Cologne; and the reverend father Francis Blonde, vicar of the father general of the said friars in the North of Scotland. On the 12th July 1471, Friar David Crannock Vicar over all the friars Minors, Commonly Called de observantia, in the kingdom of Scotland, was feoffed in the property by the provost and baillies. This must therefore be regarded as the original foundation of that Monastery at Aberdeen. These Mendicant friars do not appear to have acquired any other property, or revenues, the Monastery, church and garden were all that belonged to them when they were suppressed, at the Reformation; and the whole with the exception of the Church, are now Occupied by Marischal College."
