Richard Payl

Richard Payl (Pawlie, Payli, Paylus or Pulley) was a 15th-century Dominican friar. According to some publications, he was recorded as Richard Messing and which said he died in 1409. It may be there is some confusion with Richard Misyn, O.Carm., probably a later bishop of Dromore.

Payl was translated to the bishoprics of Mann and The Isles by Antipope John XXIII on 30 May 1410. He was recognised as bishop of the Isles until c. 1421 and was still recognised bishop on the Isle of Man until c. 1429–1433.
