Who did Pope John XXII warn about possible reassessment of the papal grant of Ireland?

  • Edward I

  • Edward II

  • Henry VIII

  • Richard II

Answer

Pope John XXII warned Edward II about possible reassessment of the papal grant of Ireland because he was worried that Edward II's support for the papacy was wavering. John XXII had previously issued a papal bull in 1317 that granted Edward II the right to rule Ireland as a papal vassal, but he was now concerned that Edward II was not fulfilling his obligations to the papacy.
