He was appointed the bishop of the Diocese of Dromore by Pope Gregory XII on 30 December 1407 and was consecrated sometime before 11 November 1408.[1] According to some publications, he was recorded as Richard Messing and which said he died in 1409.[2][3] It may be there is some confusion with Richard Misyn, O.Carm., probably a later bishop of Dromore.[4]
Payl was translated to the bishoprics of Mann[5] and The Isles[6] by Antipope John XXIII on 30 May 1410.[5][6] He was recognised as bishop of the Isles until c. 1421[6] and was still recognised bishop on the Isle of Man until c. 1429–1433.[5][6]
