Since the appearance, in 1780, of the volume of Royal and Noble Wills, edited by Ducarel and Nichols, and- the publication of the Testamenta Vetusta of Sir Harris Nicolas, various learned and archaeological societies in England, especially in more recent years, have printed col- lections of wills, stored in the Diocesan Registries and other repositories. To the Camden Society we are indebted for some, notably the Bury Wills ; the Surtees Society has printed some volumes of Yorkshire testaments ; and the Chetham Society has published several collections of wills and inventories. Besides these there are the Essex, Oxford, Exeter, Lincoln, and Carlisle Wills, with others too numerous to mention ; while Dr. Furnivall has edited, for the Early English Text Society, a volume of the Fifty Earliest English Wills ; and Mr. Reginald Sharp was entrusted, by the Corporation of London, with the task of preparing a Calendar of the wills proved and enrolled in the Court of Hustings, 1 258-1 688. The present Volume, which is a Register of the diocese of Dublin during the time of Archbishops Tregury and Vlll Introduction. Walton (1457-1483), is the only official collection of wills for the fifteenth century known to be extant in this country ; and the Council of the Society of Antiquaries decided, some time ago, that, while its publications had included certain other documents of great interest and importance, the sole representative of a class of such historical and social impor- tance as these wills of the fifteenth century, ought to find a place among its issues. A few wills of Dublin citizens will be found calendared in Sir J. T. Gilbert's Corporation Records (vol. i.), 1 and some eight or ten are in the collection known as the Christ Church Deeds (20th, 23rd, and 24th Reports of the Deputy Keeper of the Records). In the Obits and Martyrology of Christ Church are the names of about 120 testators who are recorded as having bequeathed either houses, money, or valuables to the church, from about the early part of the fifteenth century to the middle of the sixteenth ; none of their testaments are now forthcoming save those of Peter Higley and Joan Steven, which are to be found in the present Register. The wills of a people illustrate their manners and cus- toms, as well as the social condition of the various classes of testators, and while important to the genealogist, they are invaluable as material for social history and progress. Dr. Furnivall, in the quaint " Forewords," prefixed to his Fifty Earliest English Wills, remarks that: — "Both for the life and language of our old-time folk, their wills have always been acknowledged as most worthful. They let you into the state of every home ; they use words not found in books." The Register is now deposited in the manuscript-room attached to the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, where it is classed as E. 3. 32. In Dr. John Lyon's Catalogue of the MSS. (p. 178) it is described as "Registrum Testamentorum visitationum quarundam et processum curia? Metropoliticse Diocesis Dublin sub praesulatu Mich Tregury & Jon Walton 1 Two of them are fully transcribed in the Irish Archaological Miscellany, vol. Introduction. IX Arporum Dub. — N.B. Hie codex est originale Registrum." In the Catalogue of Manuscripts, English and Irish, printed at Oxford in 1697 (p. 41 of the Irish portion), the volume is described as " Registrum Testamentorum Dioces. Dublin, tempore Jo. Archiep Dublin: 1472. fol. B. 52." Under what circumstances, and at what time, the Register came to be placed in Trinity College Library, is not now known. The manuscript is a folio, 12 by 9 inches, consisting of 63 paper leaves, and the writing is in a small, clear hand, of the fifteenth century, with margins varying from 1^ to if inches broad ; a page, when filled, contains, on an average, 40 lines. The few strictly ecclesiastical documents in the volume, and the fragments at the end, are written in a style quite different from the set hand of the exclusively testamen- tary portions, and the former seem to have been copied into the book by careless or ignorant scribes, as the text is generally corrupt. The volume is bound in boards, and the separate libelli which compose it, were put together care- lessly, the present paging giving no clue to the proper sequence, as the dates in the Register are not strictly con- secutive. In many cases the initial letter in the word " Inventarium " is ornamental, with the sacred monogram placed inside a flourish, and at the head of fol. 26 s , which contains a protest by the Abbot and Convent of St. Thomas the Martyr, who is described as giving his head to the sword, is a rude representation of a mitre pierced by a sword. At the head of fol. 16 occur the following old class- marks under some former arrangement :— B. 52; J.J.J. 21 and A. 2. 30, from which it would appear as if, at one time, this page had been the first in the volume. It is remarkable that in the printed Catalogue of 1697, this would appear to have been the page from which the entitlement and class- marks were taken, and it bears evident traces of having been placed first. Dr. Abbott suggests that the Tregury portion was not bound with the other at the time the Catalogue was x Introduction. printed from the one compiled in 1688. The mention of Arch- bishop John [Walton}, and the year 1472, are emphatic as marking that, in 1697, the Tregury portion of the present volume had not been united with the other. On fol. 9, which is otherwise blank, is to be found, "ihc mercy Lady help me at my ned Nou and hevyr." The names " Jacobus Norreys, Isabella Norreys, Ka?ina Man," appear written, in a set hand, on fol. 15. On fol. 52 s , is written the name " Joneta Archeboll," and at the top of fol. 59, " ihuyh — ihu nasarenyn' — ih — ifcu nasa." The watermarks in the volume are quaint, and well worthy the attention of experts in such matters. A short account of the state of the law regarding the disposition of property by testators at this period, will be necessary for the better understanding of the wills recorded in the Register. The ancient laws of Ireland were quite foreign to those of England in such cases, but after the Anglo-Norman conquest, the code which regulated the dis- posal of lands and goods in England was gradually imposed on this country by the conquerors. Among the subjects of moment dealt with by the Synod which sat at Cashel, under the presidency of the Papal Legate, in 1172, was that of the making of testaments, and the 6th constitution laid down that all the faithful, when in sickness, should, with confessor and neighbours standing by, with due solemnity, make each his testament. They should divide their moveable goods, provided they have wives and children (debts and servants' wages excluded), into three parts, leaving one part to the children, another to the lawful wife, and the third for the funeral. If, perchance, there were no lawful issue, the goods should be divided between testator and his wife; if the lawful wife were dead, then the division ought to be between himself and the children. 1 In the Crede Mihi are certain ordinances and instruc- 1 Expugnatio Hiternica (Giraldus Cambrensis), Rolls Series, vol. 5, p. 282. Introduction. XI tions for the Dublin clergy in reference to their religious duties, deportment, and relations with the laity, laid down at a Synod held in Dublin in 12 17, under the presidency of Henri de Loundres, papal Legate, and this is the sole copy of them known to exist. At p. 126 of the edition recently published by Sir J. T. Gilbert, will be found such as were made " De Testamentis," and among other things it was enacted that no administration of a will should be granted unless an inventory were first exhibited ; no religious of any profession was to intermeddle in the execu- tion of wills unless by permission of the ordinary ; adminis- trations were to be committed only to such persons as were competent to render proper accounts; and the Church was to have its due out of the portions of deceased persons, debts and funeral expenses being first deducted. From the earliest times the ecclesiastical courts claimed jurisdiction in the matter of wills, but the books of the Common Law observe, that the foundation of this right which the Church possessed, was by special concession from the secular power — namely, from successive kings. The ecclesiastical courts and the secular arm were frequently found in collision from the time of the Plantagenets. In the Red Book of the Exchequer in Ireland, now deposited in the Public Record Office, are recorded " Articuli cleri," bearing date the 19th year of Edward I., which eminently deserve the attention of students of ancient ecclesiastical law, but which appear to have hitherto escaped notice. The article bearing on testamentary jurisdiction, with the answer of the king and council, which fully upholds the authority of the Church courts, is as follows : — " Item cum Dominus Rex omnes causas testamentarum ad forum ecclesiasticum pertinere recognoscat et ecclesia Hybernicana in pos- session jurisdictionis earundem a tempore a quo non extat memoria, videlicet, quod creditores cujuscunque defuncti executores ipsius testatoris in foro ecclesiastico conveniant et ab ipsis executoribus conveniantur ballivi seculares judices ecclesiasticos super hoc impe- xii Introduction. diunt et breve de prohibitione tam ante latam sententiam quam post eis dirigunt qui si contravenerint attachiantur incarcerantur et amer- ciantur et nunc pendet causa in curia. " Responsio = Assignetur causa pendens et fiet conqueranti jus- ticia. " Rex = Sequitur alia responsio per regem. Omnia in testamento verbata et specialiter legata ad forum ecclesiasticum spectant et cetera de quibus non fit mentio spectant ad Regem secundum fores et leges Anglicanas." Henry de Bracton, in his De Legibus et Consuetudini- bus Anglice (edited by the late Sir Travers Twiss, D.C.L.), lays down the law on the subject of testamentary disposi- tions and intestacies in terms which elucidate most of the points requiring explanation in the wills, &c, included in the present volume, in which instances of almost every case provided for, will be found to occur. De Bracton says that a man may dispose by will of his moveable stock and goods, and of such surplus as may exist after deducting the amount of debts due. Should a testator be bound to the king, he must be preferred before all others, and the sheriff may attach goods found to the value of the debt due to the Crown. If a freeman die intestate, the administration shall belong to the Church and his friends ; but, in the first instance, debts due to others, clear and acknowledged, ought to be deducted, among which are to be reckoned servants' wages, and stipends of assistants, provided they be certain in amount. Expenses of the funeral ought also to be deducted, and the wife should have her necessaries up to her quarenti7ie (40 days within which dower ought to be assigned), unless dower be sooner assigned her. All these payments having been deducted, what remains will be the private estate of the deceased ; but if nothing remain over, or if, by chance, de- ceased had no goods at the time of his death, the heir would remain burdened. In cases of persons dying testate, when a portion remains over, it is to be divided into three parts, one of which must Introduction. xiii be left to the children of deceased (if any he have), a second to his wife, and over the remaining third the testator has full disposal. Should there be no children, then half was to be reserved as testator's portion, and the other half to be his wife's. If the wife predeceased him, leaving children, then half was to be at the disposal of testator, and the remaining half was to be the children's. If he died without wife or children, then all should be at his own disposal. Bracton further lays down that, if a contest arise as to a will, the plaint ought to be determined in an ecclesiastical court, for the king's court does not introduce itself into a testamentary, any more than into a matrimonial cause. A testator is bound to remember his lord with the best article he has, and the church with the next. Though no one is bound to give anything to the church for burial, neverthe- less, where that laudable custom exists, the pope does not wish to break it. A woman, who is independent, may make a will, like any other, and dispose of her property and crops, which are part of her dowry, whether they have been separated from the soil or not ; but if she be placed under the power of a husband, she has not the right of making a will, without his consent; nevertheless, as a mark of respect it is sometimes allowed her to make a will of the reasonable part she is likely to have, should she survive her husband, and chiefly of the things granted her for adornment, as with regard to robes and jewels. From the above, it will be seen that the residue, in every case, was at the free disposal of the testator. It was known as "portio defuncti," the legatory, or dead man's, portion, and, generally speaking, this share was bequeathed to pious uses, for the benefit of testator's soul. The common law of England so dealt with these matters as far back as Henry II.' s time, and the editor of the Guildhall Wills points out that the restriction on testators' powers of bequest continued in force in London long after xiv Introduction. its abolition in other places under acts of parliament. The act 2 Geo. I. enabled a citizen of London to dispose of all his personal property by will, so as to bar the claims of wife or children, and "thus," adds a commentator, "is the old common law now utterly abolished throughout all the kingdom of England, and a man may devise the whole of his chattels as freely as he formerly could his third part or moiety." 1 A testament disposing of personalty was usually couched in Latin, and a will, which dealt with a testator's real estate, was written in English ; frequently two dispositions were made, but in the present volume, it will be found that the terms "testament" and "last will" are used, more or less, indiscriminately. Among the deeds formerly belonging to the cathedral of Christ Church, now deposited in the Public Record Office, is one (336), which concerns the ancient custom of the city of Dublin in the matter of testaments, which devised lands and tenements within the city and its franchises. The mayor and bailiffs in the year 1483 testified, that time out of mind, such testaments, when certified out of the spiritual court, where they had been approved, were wont, within a year and a day from the date of testator's death, to be exhibited to them. Within the same period, three proclamations of them were usually made at the . High Cross on three market days. Twelve citizens then made inquiry, and found a verdict as to the testator being rightfully seized, whereupon it was the custom to inroll and record such testaments among the city records. A dispute between the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity, and Patrick Burnell, who had married Anne Sutton, widow of Nicholas Sutton, one of the barons of the Exchequer, as to the title to some messuages in St.Werburgh's 1 In the will of Sir Theophilus Biddulph, proved in the Prerogative Court in 1687, the testator divides his goods into three equal portions, " according to the laudable custom of London " ; one for his wife, the " orphanage, or children's part " to his two elder children, and the remaining, or testator's part, also to his wife. Introduction. xv parish, & c ., devised to her by her first husband, led to the formal document in question, inasmuch as the prior and convent required the city authorities to certify, on their behalf, the custom of the city, which they accordingly did, adding that no testament of Nicholas Sutton had been inrolled ; an exemplification of his will, however, appears among the Christ Church Deeds (No. 327). It was proved in 1478, and was exemplified at the request of the proctor of St. Werburgh's, Dublin. In her Town Life in the Fifteenth Century, Mrs. J. R. Green has some interesting notes concerning the customs of certain English cities in similar matters. In Nottingham, wills devising land were publicly read in the Borough courts, and then inrolled by the mayor in a court of record. The muniments of Canterbury show that from this custom, as observed in that city, the mayors went on to claim the right of granting probate ; the claim was, of course, perfectly illegal, but was strongly insisted on. In Lynn, about the year 1335, the burgesses obtained the right to have all wills that affected property in the town, proved in the Guild Hall, before the mayor's court. Mrs. Green points out that, in the earliest wills, no mention is made of probate before the ordinary. In later registrations, it is recorded that wills had received episcopal probate, before being brought into the mayor's court : the cost of this was- what people wished to avoid, and the following lines from the " Complaint of the Ploughman," 1 which internal evidence shows to belong to the latter part of the reign of Richard II., prove that the popular satire was even then directed at the heavy charges made by officials in such matters — " For who so woll prove a testament, That is not all worth tenne pound, He shall pay for the parchment The third of the money all round." As bearing on the point of expense, the Irish statute Political Poems and Songs, ed. by Wright, vol. i., 323. XVI Introduction. 28 Henry VIII. cap. 18 (1537) recites that in a parliament, held at Westminster, 31 Edward III., upon complaint of the people as to outrageous fines of money taken by ministers of bishops and other ordinaries of Holy Church for probates of testaments, the king charged the archbishop of Canterbury and other ordinaries to make amendment, and inquiry into such misdemeanours was ordered to be made. In the White Book of Dublin (Corporation Records) are particulars of a suit in 1372-3, brought by John Grauntecet, and Ismay, formerly wife of Robert Doding (as executors of the latter's will], against Thomas Minot, archbishop of Dublin, for six marks, illegally exacted for proof of Doding's will. The defendant pleaded letters patent, pardoning him all offences prior to January 4, 1372-3, and on this most original defence, he obtained a judgment. In the margin are the words — " Extortion of six markes taken by the Bishop of Dublin." Gilbert's Chartularies of St. Mary's Abbey contains a copy of the will of John Taillor, of Dublin, 1370, which affords some information as to the fees in this country. He bequeathed for the proving of his will, 20 s , and left 10 s to the clerk of the court of Christianity, Dublin, for his trouble in transcribing the will, and for other things concerning the testament. In the present Register, 4 d for sealing, and 4 d for writing his will, were left by John Kempe. The Christ Church Deeds throw some further light on these expenses as the will of John Foyle, 1380 (No. 251), shows that he bequeathed 2 s for proving it ; William Foyll (No. 239) in 1348 left half a mark for probate, and 40 shillings to the clerk of the court, and Robert North in 1346 (No. 633) 2 shillings, for proving his testament. The Irish Archceological Miscellany, vol. i., contains full copies of two wills of Dublin citizens from the Charter Book of the Corporation; that of John Hammond (1388) contains a bequest of 6 s 8 a for his probate, and that of Richard Donogh (1440), io B for the like. Introduction. xvii The will of John Alleyn, dean of St. Patrick's, made in !5 5> bequeaths a sum of ioo shillings to Walter, archbishop of Dublin, for proving and registering same, and this must surely be the only instance on record in which an intending testator made a special compact with the head of the consis- torial court, as the will further recites that the archbishop promised, and even bound himself by a document in writing, to be content with this amount. The most important wills in the collection are those of the two archbishops, Tregury and Walton, and it is worthy of remark that as far back as 1234, special privileges with regard to their wills had been conferred on archbishop Luke and his successors in the see of Dublin, under a grant from the Crown, dated at Westminster, 27 March, 18 Henry III., which is to be found inrolled in the "Antiquissime Litera? Patentes," in the 26th year of Edward I. (1297-8). This document gave liberty to the archbishops to make testaments of all their goods, moveable and immoveable, as well of corn sown in the ground, as of other things, so that neither the king nor his constables, nor any other secular person might lay hands on such goods, or interfere with the execu- tors. In the Liber Niger of Archbishop Alan will be found a document entitled, " De Testamentis Archiepiscorum non impediendis," with the date 1248 at the top, which is a mandate from J. fitz Geoffrey, Justiciary of Ireland, 1 reciting shortly the tenor of the above, and directing his bailiffs, &c, to do nothing contrary to the king's grant, and not to hinder the executors of such archbishops in carrying out the provisions of their testaments. Possibly, there may have been some special circumstances which compelled archbishop Luke to obtain these privileges for himself and his successors. 1 Sir John fitz Geoffrey de Mariscis was Justiciary in 1245, and again for the period 1248-1266. b xviii Introduction. Michael Tregury, or de Tregury, is said to have belonged to the house of Tregury, Tregurra, or Tregurtha, in the parish of St. Wenn, or Wenna, which lies west of Bodmin in Cornwall. Tre or Trev would appear, in ancient times, to have signified only a family, and the word was, no doubt, connected with the Gaelic Tir, and with its analogous form in Welsh, being connected with the Latin tribus. Many of the names with the prefix Tre in Cornwall represented single houses, with the names of the proprietors subjoined, so that Tregury would mean the house, or home, of the family named Gurra or Gurtha. The last male heir of this family died in the reign of Henry V., leaving three daughters co- heiresses ; the property, which is now called Tregotha, was sold, and, through successive changes, passed into the hands of William Hals, who wrote a Parochial History of Cornwall, and who resided there in the latter part of his life. It is now owned by the Rawlings family. A William Tregury was prebendary and vicar of Lusk in 1457, and William Tre- gorrei (probably the same person), rector of the church of St. Mary the Virgin, Howth, appears from a Memorandum Roll, 10 Edward IV., to have been fined 40 s in 1470, for contempt of court in calling, by abusive names, Christopher Russell, Henry Lacy of Dublin, and others, jurors, in a plea of debt between the said rector and one John Laralton. Whether this William Tregury were a brother or nephew of the archbishop, there are now no means of determining, but it is probable he was a near relative, who came over with his kinsman, and obtained preferment in the diocese. Michael Tregury was a Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, and a D.D. of the University. In 1434 he served the office of Junior Proctor, and Anthony Wood in his Fasti, notices that he was principal of some of the halls that stood near his college. So remarkable was Tregury for learning and wisdom, that when King Henry V. founded a college at Caen in Normandy, that monarch invited him to assume the Introduction. xix management of it, and, while so engaged, he published several works, which are described in Pits as follows : — " Multa scripsisse perhibetur quae Gallis inter quos vixit vel Hibernis apud quos obiit, magis quam Anglis e quibus natus est, nota esse pote- runt. Hos tamen paucos titulos sequentes invenio. Super magistro sententiarum, . . . Lib. IV. De origine illius studii, .... Lib. I. Quaestiones ordinariae, . . . Lib. I. Contra Henricum Albrincensem, . . . Lib. I." On the death of Richard Talbot in 1449, Tregury was selec- ted to succeed him in the see of Dublin. The conge d'elire, which bears date at Drogheda, August 22, 1449, and is extant among the records of Holy Trinity, was directed to Hill, dean of St. Patrick's, and William Denys, prior of Holy Trinity, and his consecration took place in the city of London. On 19th February, 1450, Richard, abbot of St. Thomas the Martyr, became one of his securities, on the restitution to him of the temporalities. In the interval between Talbot's death and Tregury's appointment, the episcopal crosier was pledged by John Streguthen, or Barber, to Richard White, a tailor, for five marks, and, on the matter being brought before his court afterwards, Tregury delivered a definitive sentence, decreeing that the prior and convent of Christ Church ought to release it, as its custody was one of their special privileges. This is on the authority of the Liber Niger, which contains a note by Archbishop Alan, that the crosier was mortgaged for a period of nearly eighty years, and (to his honour be it recorded) that he caused both it and the staff to be restored on the payment of 100 oz. of silver. Very few of the events in this prelate's life have been handed down to us, but it is evident the course of his archiepiscopate did not run smoothly, and his entry on its labours was marked by an incident that might well be taken as an augury of the stormy character of his life and work among the Irish people. Dr. Donnelly, the bishop of Canea, has, with extreme kindness, communicated a Bull of Pope b 2 xx Introduction. Nicholas the Fifth, transcribed by a correspondent in Rome, which discloses the fact that when crossing from England some time after he had been consecrated in London, Tregury lost his personal belongings, including gold, silver, plate and jewels, which were swallowed up in the sea. This document, which bears date 17th December, 1451, permitted him to hold certain benefices, &c, to the value of ^200 per annum, m commendam, as an aid towards supporting his dignity, supplying anew the valuables destroyed, as above mentioned, and repairing the castles, &c, belonging to the see, which stood greatly in need of it. The archbishop had petitioned the Holy See for this grant, alleging that, through the negligence of Talbot and others, his predecessors, the turmoil of war and hostile incursions, the profits of the mensal had become so much reduced, as not to be worth more than ^300 a-year, while the castles, possessions, and lands for the space of twelve miles round were utterly desolated. The archbishop had one other experience of a startling character, for, in 1453, he was carried off from the bay of Dublin by pirates. They were pursued to Ardglass in Co. Down, where he was rescued from captivity, and a number of the pirates were killed. Tregury' s adventures on land were scarcely less exciting, for, some nine years later, he, for the second time, found himself a captive — on this occasion in the hands of some of the wild raiders that infested the country between Dublin and South Wicklow. O'Byrne's country had never been thoroughly brought into subjection to the English Crown ; and the Bishop of Canea, in a paper on the Incumbents of Killadreenan and Archdeacons of Glendalough in the Fifteenth Century (Journal R.S. A. I., 1893), opens up a very interesting subject, namely, that of a probable attempt made to revive the ancient diocese of Glendalough as a separate see during the latter half of the fifteenth century. He re- marks that the archbishops of Dublin, who also frequently filled the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, were certainly Introduction. xxi unwelcome in their civil capacity among the mountains, and this may have helped to render their ecclesiastical adminis- tration equally distasteful. The imprisonment and ill-treatment of archbishop Tregury by the Harolds showed so clearly, that an im- portant portion of the united dioceses might, at any time, have been left without supervision, that Dr. Donnelly thinks the Holy See may have been moved to meet such an emergency by the appointment of bishops who could directly administer the spiritualities of Glendalough. All that is known with regard to the daring outrage is to be found in the Liber Niger of Archbishop Alan, in which is copied a Bull of "Pope Pius II., dated 23rd November, 1462, excommunicating Geoffrey Harold, Thomas, and Edmund Harold, his sons, Patrick O'Byrne, Thaddeus Shereff, Thomas Bechaighe, Robert Burnell, and certain other lay- men of Dublin, for the imprisonment of archbishop Michael. Canon Stokes, in his valuable calendar of the contents of the Liber Niger (Journal R. S. A. I., 1893) states that there had been a quarrel between Tregury and the Harold faction connected with some property near the Three Rock Moun- tain, but the learned writer gives no authority for the state- ment. The name of Harold is still to be found in the district, and Harold's-grange is the name of a place close to the foot of the mountain. An additional fact in Tregury's life has come to light in a Statute Roll 5 Edward IV. (No. 37). * In 1465 he was indicted in the court of Chief Place for having, in a journey from Ratoath, assaulted Stephen Fitz William, of Jobstown, and despoiled him of a sparthe (an axe or halberd), value 2 s . The archbishop did not appear in that court, but declaring that he was the victim of a conspiracy, and alleging his in- nocence of the offence, he obtained an order of parliament 1 A copy of the entry in the Statute Roll, entitled " Case of Michael Tregury, archbishop," will be found in a volume of miscellaneous documents in Marsh's Library (classed v. 3, 1—24). xxii Introduction. giving him liberty to clear himself of the charge, with twelve chaplains as compurgators, before the Earl of Desmond, lord deputy, &c. At foot of the entry is a memorandum that the archbishop in person, with twelve chaplains, namely, Thomas Waryng, John Stakbold, Alan, prior of Ardee, the prior of Holmpatrick, John Alleyn, John Murgane, Robert Waryng, William Tregorre, 1 Henry Kyng, Andrew Meyler, Peter Motyng and Walter Maundevyll, solemnly cleared himself before the said deputy, the lords and commons. Parliament declared this sufficient for his purgation, notwithstanding his not having appeared in the court of Chief Place. The charge was a strange one to have been brought against a man of Tregury's rank and sacred office, but he seems to have made many enemies, and possibly a fray or quarrel between Fitz William and some of Tregury's retainers may have been, by malice, strained into an accusation against the archbishop himself. An interesting picture of Tregury, while he lived among the Dublin people as their chief pastor, is afforded by the Register of the Dominican Abbey (Ware's MS.) which related that he was so affected > by the news of the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453, that he proclaimed a solemn fast for three days, and he himself, clothed in sackcloth and ashes, preceded his clergy in a procession to Christ Church. From Sir T. Duffus Hardy's Syllabus of'Rytner'sFcedera," it appears that in 1458, Tregury had leave to absent himself from Ireland for three years, but whether he remained away for so long a period, it is now impossible to decide. Michael Tregury died on 21st December, 147 1, at the manor house, or country seat, of the archbishops of Dublin at Tallaght, which he had repaired ; and Mr. Hancock, in his A ntiqutties of Tallaght, observes that he was the last of the Dublin prelates who resided there, while the ancient castle 1 See p. rvm. introduction. xxm was in all its pristine grandeur. The place is now in the possession of the Dominican order, and the sole remains of the structure consist of the tower. Tregury's obit is recorded in the Mortilogium of Christ Church, in the words : " ofe Michael Tregorre, Archiepiscopus Dubline anno Domini M CCCC LXX°I." His remains were conveyed to St. Patrick's cathedral, and laid near the altar of St. Stephen, whose chapel formed portion of that dedicated to St. Mary. A large tombstone, 7 feet 3 inches by nearly 4 feet, erected to his memory, is now fixed in the south wall of the baptistery (see frontispiece), and the archbishop's effigy represents him as fully vested, holding in his left hand the archi- episcopal cross-staff, with the infula 1 attached ; the right hand, with the third and fourth fingers bent in- wards, is raised as in the act of benediction, while over it appears the emblem of St. Michael, the archangel, his patron saint ; a shield, with Tregury's arms (argent, a chevron sable between three Cornish choughs proper), im- paling those of the see of Dublin, is on the left hand of the figure. At the head of the stone appears the inscription 3(i)c e$t valuator meug ; at the foot, <©jiiit m°cr.cc°frxf Die bccfbri^s xxi; while round it are the words, |f)r;c£ul metropolis S^icijad J)ic 2Duolinien£i# | marmore tum^ 6atU& £t0 me £pm flagitCtiS- A drawing of Tregury's monument is to be found in a seventeenth-century volume in Ulster's office, which contains illustrations of many 1 The infula was a kind of streamer attached to the top of the staff, round which it wound itself, acting as a napkin in preventing the moisture of the hands from injuring the metal. XXIV Introduction. famous monuments of ancient Dublin. From it the sides of the original altar-tomb appear to have been adorned with trefoil-headed arches, rising from short pillars (see accompanying plate). In connexion with the use of the cross-staff shown in the monument, a writer in Archczologia (xlvii., p. 375), referring to a plate representing an archbishop, remarks that it is a common error to suppose his cross to be the equivalent of the crook or crosier of an ordinary bishop, and to have been carried by him in ecclesiastical functions. An archbishop did not carry the cross, 1 but it was borne before him by a clerk appointed for that office ; he himself used the crosier like other bishops. In monumental effigies, and seals, &c, we sometimes, as in the present instance, see an archbishop represented with the cross in his hand, but this is a con- ventional way of indicating his dignity. In the year 1730, this memorial to Tregury was found under some rubbish in St. Stephen's chapel, and the flat in- scribed stone was, by order of the dean (Jonathan Swift) and the chapter, fixed in the wall on the left as one entered the church from the western gate, between the gate and the 1 In Mr. Macalister's Ecclesiastical Vestments (Camden Library), page ioi, is figured the effigy of an archbishop in Mayence cathedral, which clearly distinguishes between the cross staff and the pastoral staff, as he bears the one in his right hand, and the other in his left. See also pp. 125 and 130 of that work. Introduction. xxv place where the consistorial court was held. The following inscription was placed over it : — " vetus hoc monumentum e ruderibus capellae Divi Stephani nuper instauratae erutum Decanus et capitulum hue transferri curaverunt, A.D. 1730." On the restoration of the cathedral through the munificence of the late Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness, the stone and above inscription were removed to their present position in the baptistery. Tregury's successor as archbishop of Dublin, was John Walton or Mounstern, whose will appears at p. 167. In 1452, he had been appointed 18th abbot of Osney, a great monastery which was founded in 1129 for Augustinian canons, by Robert D'Oyley (or Olleys) on an island in the river near Oxford. First a priory, it was soon after raised to the rank of an abbey, but no intelligible traces of its buildings at present remain. The island of Middeny (Medley) which is mentioned in Walton's will, was the first land granted to it, and the abbey had possessions in Walton, which was near at hand, and from which the Walton family may have derived their name. The Annals of Osney have been edited in the Rolls series by Mr. R. H. Luard, and his exhaustive preface gives the fullest account of this great monastic foundation, so frequently mentioned in Walton's will, with which he seemed to keep up so intimate a connexion, and among whose abbots he desired that his remains should rest, if he died in England. Among the MSS. in Balliol College are Walton's "supplicat" for the degree of D.D. dated 1451, and a translation by him into English verse of Boethius, De Consolatione Philosophie. In June, 1473, soon after his appointment to the see, the archbishop was admitted a freeman of the city of Dublin. Prior to his tenure of his sacred office, there had been law suits between the archbishops and Holmpatrick priory, with reference to an annuity of two marks claimed by them out of Ballygossan alias Cabragh hill, but Walton XXVI Introduction. put an end to litigation by releasing all his rights by deed dated ist May, 1484, and some documents bearing on these matters will be found in Alan's Liber Niger. He appointed a distribution of the annuity among the convent — 5 8 to the prior and 3 s 4 d to each of the canons, on condition that they and their successors should celebrate for him and his successors yearly, on the morrow of All Souls, by singing a Placebo and Dirige. In May or June of the same year, Walton resigned the see of Dublin, reserving for his maintenance during the remainder of his life, the manor of Swords, which was specially confirmed to him by act of Parliament in the next year. On his resignation, Gerald, Earl of Kildare, lord deputy, took forcible possession of 24 townlands belonging to the See in Ballymore and Castle Kevin, which were only restored about the year 15 16, more than thirty years after. Ware is our authority for the statement that the Register of Swords (a MS. which was in his collection) mentions John Walton in terms of great respect, for his hospitality and cheerful innocent disposition. He is said to have become blind, and the last glimpse obtained of the aged ex-prelate is an affecting one, for, on the occasion of his having preached a sermon before the lord deputy in the cathedral of St. Patrick on that saint's festival in the year 1489, he was afterwards led to the neighbouring palace of St. Sepulchre, where he dined. Walton's will, as found in the Register, is undated, but it was most probably made before his resignation of the archbishopric in 1484, for he describes himself in it as archbishop of Dublin and primate ; there being no note of proof appended, the date of his death is not known. Archbishop Walton's will (p. 167) is chiefly remarkable for the long list of silver plate, household linen, candelabra, vestments, altar necessaries, and even garments for retainers, which he had brought over with him from Osney, and which he wished restored to the abbey there. It is, however, still Introduction. xxvii more notable for being the only testament in the volume which mentions the title of a book; in addition to a porthose and missal, he expresses a wish that his copy of the Pupilla oculi, which was a manual for the clergy, should also be returned to that house. It seems strange that the abbot of such a monastery, in crossing the channel to assume archiepiscopal functions, should have been permitted to take with him so many valuables, and that as archbishop of Dublin, he did not feel it beneath his dignity to take the life use of them. It is matter of regret that the inventory at foot of the will is blank, as the list of books in the chapel would have been of extreme interest. As a return for so extensive a loan, Walton bequeathed to the abbey two books of medicine, without specifying their titles, some spoons, and a quantity of household articles. It was evidently a custom of St. Patrick's cathedral that the vicar of the archbishop, as prebendary of Culler), was held entitled to his surplice and amice, as there is a bequest of those vestments to that functionary in accor- dance therewith. The archbishop directed that his funeral services should be conducted in both St. Patrick's and Christ Church cathedrals. Since Walton describes himself as archbishop and primate, it is probable the will was executed in anticipation of his resignation, and on the eve of a journey to Osney ; an additional reason for assigning this date to it is the fact that tenants of the see lands owed the large sum of 200 marks, and this sum would have been quite out of proportion to the rents of the manor of Swords alone, which he reserved for his maintenance during life. His connexion with his native land must have been closely kept up, as all those indebted to him and his creditors were English, save two Florentine merchants, to whom he owed 250 marks. Walton's accounts with the various officials of Osney appear to have been in an unsatisfactory condition, as the seneschal, collector of rents, sacrist, and kitchener owed him large sums. xxviii Introduction. The Puptlla oculi — the only book mentioned by name in the Register (p. 168) — was a tract consisting often parts, of which i to 8 deal with the sacraments, 9 with the consecration of churches, tithes, sepulture, festivals, fasts, &c, and 10 with the creed and commandments. It is, as explained in the preface, an adaptation, with large alterations, of the tract Oculus Sacerdotis (attributed to William Pagula). The British Museum has six copies of the MS., two of which belonged to Cranmer. In the printed editions the work is assigned to John de Burgo (or Borough), chancellor of the University of Cambridge in 1384, and it is dated 1385. The Oculus long retained great popularity, and the portion known as the Pupilla, which, in short, was a manual for the guidance of the priesthood, was five times printed at Paris and Strasburg, between 1510 and 1518. The copy in the Library of T. C. D. (where it is classed CC. f. 58) was printed in London in 15 10, at the expense of William Bretton, merchant, and was to be had " apud bibliopolas in cimiterio Sancti Pauli sub intersigno sanctissimae ac in- dividual Trinitatis." The remaining documents included in the Register number eighty-three, and of these, fifty-six are wills (with inventories) of farmers, some of whom, residents on the coast, were also boat-owners and fishermen ; twelve of merchant citizens of Dublin, and four of persons who may be described as gentlefolk ; there are five administrations (intestate), and six of the documents are purely ecclesiastical. In addition, the volume contains a register of visitations made in the year 1468, together with some excommunica- tions. The farming-folk would appear to have resided chiefly in the district of Fingal, in North Dublin, for out of fifty, whose places of abode are mentioned, thirty-eight belonged to Balrothery, Balscaddan, Ballymadun, Garris- town, Mulhuddart, Gracedieu, Lusk, Swords, Finglas, Howth, Malahide, Santry, and Glasnevin ; while only nine lived in the southern portion of the county, namely, in Newcastle- Introduction. xxix Lyons, Esker, Clondalkin, Tallaght, Castleknock, and Crumlin, some of the others having homes in Leixlip and Killadoon. Of the Dublin citizens, one is described as also of Coventry, and another as trading with England, while re- siding principally in this country. London, Oxford, several places in Oxfordshire, Bubbenhall in Warwickshire, St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall, Bristol, Manchester, Bolton, and Conway, are the principal places in England and Wales mentioned in the wills and inventories. Some of these Dublin testators had extensive property in the county as well as in the city, in the counties of Kilkenny and Water- ford, and in England, and a few carried on farming in addition to their business in the city. They traded in cloth, yarn, skins of goats, sheep and lambs, leather, iron, salt, alum, ox and pork flesh, tan, pitch, and resin, while some were gold- and silver-smiths. As usual at the period, these merchants acted in the capacity of money-lenders, and numerous articles of value are named as being pledged with them, notably a jewel (or piece of plate) belonging to St. Patrick's church, which was in the hands of Hugh Galliane (P- 85). In several instances, at the commencement of the inven- tory, the wife is described as joint owner with the husband, and one such case is that of Richard Porter, Rose Tirrell his wife, and their children. Another is that of Peter Higley, Millane his wife, and their children, and this testator's anxiety to do justice to the help afforded him by his partner for life is not a little remarkable, for he bequeaths to her the third part of all common goods " acquired between us." Many of the testaments in the volume are those of married women, and John Kyng's wife (p. 157) is specially stated to have made hers by leave of her husband; she bequeathed him all the goods which were his and his former wife's, except the garments and ornaments given her by him ; in this case the testatrix was a widow at the time of her marriage with Kyng, XXX Introduction. and she directs her body to be buried with that of her first husband. We learn, from Sir John Gilbert's Corporation Records, that, in 1347, complaints were made to the king that, contrary to the usage of the city, married women bequeathed their husbands' goods without their license, and that excommunications were issued by prelates and eccle- siastics against citizens who prevented their wives from making such gifts. Generally speaking, the wills are in precisely the same form, all being made when the testators were at the point of death, and proved immediately ; one only, that of Joan Steven (p. 160), was not proved for five years from the date of the will, and the wording of the probate shows that such a lapse of time was unusual. Some of those of more important people, however, vary much, and a few of them are remarkable for their legal phraseology in devises and limitations of lands. The will of Richard Boys (p. 9) dealt with property in Coventry and the neighbourhood ; while John Gogh, of Dublin (p. 39), settled in legal form his possessions in the county and city of Waterford and in the county Kilkenny, which must have been considerable, as an agent for the collection of the rents was necessary ; he bequeathed a messuage to a chaplain in Waterford, on condition of his collecting and remitting them to the executors. Nicholas Barret's will (p. 70) is notable for the terms of a family agreement recorded with it, and the inventory and accompanying list of debts due to him, &c, afford a great deal of information as to the belongings of a wealthy Dublin merchant of the period. The inventory (p. 78) of Dame Margaret Nugent, widow of Sir Thomas Newbery, who had been mayor of Dublin on several occasions, enu- merates a quantity of silver plate, jewellery, and furniture, among other articles a brass pot for holy water, the only one mentioned in the Register, which the Dame must have kept in her house for daily use. The old lady's list of debts seems, at first sight, rather large, especially in the number Introduction. xxxi and amounts of the sums due to chaplains, but as the testatrix directed all the articles scheduled in her inventory to be sold for payment of same, it is to be hoped her creditors were all satisfied. Hugh Galliane's list of plate (p. 85) is worthy of attention, as are also the terms of his will as to his Dublin property, and the bequest of lands, &c, to the guild of St. Mary of Mulhuddart. William Neill, of Clondalkin (p. 97), was the owner of a tan-house, and while he seems to have had large possessions, his generosity to the poor and the Church was commensurate with them. The wills of William Carry ke (p. 106) and Peter Higley (p. 130) deal with landed property, the former speaking of his chief residence as a castle, while the limitations in his will are almost as numerous as those in a modern settlement. Bequests to servants, both male and female, are frequent, and the wages due to individual domestics are generally set out ; there are some legacies left by masters to their appren- tices, and as a further instance of kindly feeling, a guest, in his will, remembered the host in whose house in Dublin he had resided, and even the servants of his host. Bequests to daughters and near female relatives, with a view to their preferment in marriage, are also to be found, and three or four instances occur in which what was known as the principal was, in the first instance, to be delivered out of moveable goods to the eldest son, according to the custom of the country. (Note, p. 205.) Bequests of an unusual nature occur in the wills of Nicholas Delaber (p. 59) and Joan White (p. 48) ; the former bequeathed his largest pot and skillet to be held for common use among his neighbours in Balrothery, as well rich as poor, same to be in his wife's keeping as long as she resided there, and, on her departure, to be held by John Pippart, his heirs and assigns for ever. On a similar trust Joan White willed a three-legged pan and a trough, with two trundles, to the good people of her native town of Leixlip, but with a proviso that the legacy was bestowed for xxxii Introduction. the health of her own and her ancestors' souls. In such gifts the respective testators only anticipated an episcopal personage, for, under the will of Hugh Brady, bishop of Meath, dated 1583, the poor inhabitants of Dunboyne had the use of- one of his best pans in common amongst them, " to serve their turns," and the portrieve of the town was to settle any controversy as to borrowing or keeping the pan too long. The poor were remembered in a still more practical way by the testators whose wills are being considered, one leaving a sum of money to be expended in the purchase of woollen and linen cloth to make gowns and shirts for them ; and another (p. 98), in addition to money for the poor, ordered that those maintained in St. John's house, outside the New Gate, Dublin, should be provided with a special repast, to which others had been wont to treat them. In two instances, those of John Wylde and Joan Steven, directions were given that debts due to their estates by poor persons, and those unable to pay, should be remitted. As a matter of course, the churches, chaplains, parish priests, the mendicant friars (who seemed especial favourites and objects of bounty on the part of testators), monasteries, clerks, and even choir-boys, were remembered in these wills, and in addition to houses, lands, and money, specific articles, or money to purchase them, were frequently bequeathed. Thus we find acres of wheat, rye, and oats, money for susten- ance of altar-lights, chalices, and money for gilding or repairing them, altar-towels, missals, and service-books among the bequests ; money was also willed to the images of the Virgin and saints, and in payment of tithes neglected or forgotten. A cow was left to the church of St. Nicholas, Kinsaley, a gown was bequeathed to a chaplain, a robe to an image of the Virgin, and silver cups were also willed. The works of the churches themselves, whether of the nave, chancel, or walls, and the construction and repair of belfries, were frequent objects of the bounty of testators. Introduction. xxxm As is still the case in Ireland, the funeral obsequies of the deceased were accompanied by the exercise of much hospitality to the clergy and friends attending, and doles were always bestowed on the poor ; so it is not surprising to find in most of the testaments, in addition to money, that wheat and malt, bread, ale, meat, cows, sheep, geese, capons, and even fish, spices (or groceries), and wine, were directed to be supplied : wax, too, was left in large quantities, of course for altar-lights. Masses, and priests to celebrate, were nearly always provided, but, among the many, only one testator specified the number that he wished to be said for him ; this was John Chever, of Dublin, who left a sum of £id : 13 : 4 for one thousand masses. The guilds, or fraternities, are frequently mentioned, among them those of the Holy Trinity, Dublin, St. Mary's of Mulhuddart, St. Mary's of Balrothery, and that of Holly- wood. These guilds were bodies of lay men and women, formed in different parishes, and among distinct communi- ties, for religious purposes, the members being bound to pray for the king and queen, their own relations and friends, and the members of the guild during life, and for their souls after death. The crypts of churches were anciently used for their services, and, as a rule, a special altar, dedicated to the patron saint of the guild, was consecrated in the parish church. Each fraternity had its own proctors, or wardens, distinct from those of the parish church, and, as years went on, they acquired separate endowments, money, lands, and houses being given and bequeathed them. That of Hollywood was left 2 acres of rye by John Kempe ; and John Gogh, of Dublin, bequeathed a missal to the master and wardens of the guild that met in the chapel of the Holy Trinity, in Christ Church. Nicholas Delaber left 2 nobles to the fraternity (under the patronage of St. Mary) which met in St. Peter's, Balrothery, and Richard Whytakrys the sum of 3 s 4 d to the same. Chantry priests are often mentioned in the Register, c xxxiv Introduction. and it may be well to note here that a chantry is to be distinguished from a chantry chapel. Strictly speaking, a chantry was a service endowed with the object of providing a priest to celebrate continually for the soul of the founder, &c, but it was by no means necessary that there should be a special chapel, as an altar was all that was required for the chantry and its priest. The testaments of members of the farming class appear to be those of substantial and respectable people, as the inventories of stock, crops, and household necessaries dis- close. From the amount of rent stated to be due to land- lords, and the number of acres sown, an approximate calculation of the size of the farms held near Dublin might be made, but for want of information as to grazing lands, it would be impossible to form an accurate one. Taking the cases of 33 farms, the average number of acres under tillage was 18, and 28 had wheat sown, 14 barley, 13 oats, and 3 hastiuell; wheat and barley were sown together in 12 instances, wheat and oats in 9, while in only 5 cases were the three crops in the fields at the same time. The amounts due for rents varied considerably, but, taking the same farms on an average, slightly over £2 seem to have been owing to the landlord. In one of the schedules of debts, 5 d is returned as due for the rent of half an acre at Skiddoo, parish of Swords, and William Neill, of Clondalkin, owed 4 d , 8 d , and i2 d for 3 acres, respec- tively. Oxen, sheep, lambs, hogs, pigs, cart and farm horses are enumerated as stock, while carts, waggons, wheels, ploughs, coulters, and yokes supply the implements of husbandry. The only farm servant whose particular avoca- tion is named, is a shepherd. Turf is but once mentioned, the wife of John Hassard of Balscaddan being possessed of 3 s worth. In the preceding century, 6 d per acre was an average rent for arable land, and about Dublin the acre was equal to nearly 2 J statute acres ; the smaller tenants then generally held about 12 to 18 acres of land. Introduction. xxxv The Register supplies little information as to house rent ; one testator owed i 8 8 d and another 6 8 8 d for houses, both in St. Michan's parish, and a sum of io s '3 d was due for rent of a chamber in Holy Trinity parish. William Neill, of Clon- dalkin, owed 2 s 3 d for rent of his house, which must have been in the village or close by, as he there exercised the trade of a tanner. Among the professions, the only one named is that of doctor (whether of divinity, law, or medicine is not stated), while there is frequent mention of the notary public. Smiths, butchers, bakers, millers, tailors, fishermen and tanners are found amongst the callings enumerated. The furniture usual in houses at the period, will be found specified in the inventories, ranging from the silken sparver and tapestry coverlet of the bedchamber and the oaken cupboard of the dining-room, to the frying-pan and turning- spit in the kitchen. The best list of household goods is contained in the inventory of John Kyng's wife (p. 156). Vessels of lead, brass, and pewter, chests, coffers, napery, candelabra, with numerous other effects, are enumerated in these schedules. The articles of plate are very varied in character, consisting of silver bowls, maser cups, goblets, nuts, silver cups, silver ewers, salt-cellars and spoons, some households being especially rich in possessions of this class. The inventories of archbishops Tregury and Walton, and those of Dame Katherine Nugent (p. 78) and Hugh Galliane (p. 85) contain a number of articles of plate. The materials used in hangings, curtains, coverlets, &c., include tapestry, arras, silk, say (a woollen material), Holland cloth, bord Alexander (a kind of striped silk), tartarine, buckram, and English cloth. The most costly article of apparel mentioned is the scarlet parliament robe, with furred hood, belonging to Tregury, which was in the keeping of Stephen Buttiler, a skinner, or furrier, in the city, but whether he held it for repair, or that the archbishop thought this robe, with its XXXVI Introduction. expensive furs, would be safer in the custody of a professional furrier than in one of his own residences, is matter of conjec- ture. Gowns, furred gowns, and russet gowns are met with. The Latin words jupa, toga and tunica have been translated gown, while the two last terms occasionally stand for a coat. Peplum and "huke" were essentially women's garments, but it would be difficult to say wherein lay the distinction to be drawn between the jupa, toga and tunica, as they would seem to have been used indifferently by those employed to draw up the inventories and testaments. The tunica may have been more in the nature of a waistcoat, tightfitting, and worn nearer the body than the toga, which, like the jupa, was more of an outer garment. In one instance, a coat is stated to be of Irish cloth. There are also shirts, mantles, and riding-habits with hoods, a jerkin (a kind of coat without sleeves), and stockings. Some military accoutre- ments claim notice, as a few testators left swords, helmets, hauberks and doublets of defence. Silver-studded girdles are of frequent occurrence, and in articles of jewellery, beads of jet and amber, brooches, corals, pearls, gold bars, and gold clasp with enamel may be cited; rings, too, were bequeathed, one testatrix leaving her wedding-ring to her daughter. Among the ecclesiastical vestments, specially mentioned, are the alb, amice, chasuble, surplice, cope, rochet ; while church necessaries include altar cloths and towels, chalices, patens, candlesticks, organs, altar lights, corporas cloths and cases, and a robe for an image. Among service books, the porthose, grayle, missal, antiphonar, and book of Lessons are named. A variety of articles were pledged, as security for money advances, such as silver cups and girdles, pots, rings, spoons, beads, brooches, a sword, and a hauberk ; even an acre of wheat was so treated. In the Index, under Measures, will be found a list of the various weights and measures referred to in the volume, Introduction. xxxvn for exact descriptions of some of which the reader is referred to the Glossary. Of documents other than wills and administrations, there are six, three of them incomplete. The first (p. 36) is a commission, dated 3 rd November, 1473, from archbishop Walton to William Huch, vicar of Cloncurry, to hold a synod in the deanery of Leap, diocese of Kildare, and to visit the clergy and people. The next (p. 72), which is without date and unfinished, is a remarkable document, in the nature of an appeal to the Holy See, made before an authorised delegate. 1 The appel- lants in this case were the abbot and brethren of the monastery, of St. Thomas the Martyr, near Dublin, who, after a recital as to their foundation, endowments, and the services ever rendered by them to the English monarchs and their deputies in this country, proceed to state the fears they entertain of injury threatened to their institution by Edmund, bishop of Meath, when the document comes abruptly to an end. John Purcell, the abbot named, did not hold that office during the episcopate of Edmund Ouldhall, who died in 1459, sixteen years before Purcell's election; in 1468, Purcell was only sixth in the list of canons of St. Thomas who attended the archbishop's visitation (p. 178). This causes suspicion as to the genuine nature of the fragment, and one solution of the difficulty is that during John Purcell's abbacy, the monastery was preparing a similar appeal, which the scribe may have copied from a prior one issued when Ouldhall was bishop, and that by mistake he inserted that prelate's name. The abbey of St. Thomas had many passages of arms with regard to the churches appropriate to it in the diocese of Meath, in which it had several. 1 There were no appeals to the Pope out of England before King Stephen's time, when they were introduced by Henry de Blois, bishop of Winchester, papal legate, and they were abolished in the reign of King Henry VIII. XXXV111 Introduction. St. Thomas's figures also in the next document to be noticed (p. 99). This is a sentence in the business of a pre- sentation to the church of St. Columba, Confey, depending between William White and the abbey. It was pronounced in the chancel of the church of the Holy Trinity on 12th August, 1474, by William Stevenot (or Stewnot), prior of All Saints, Dublin, apostolic delegate, on an appeal from a definitive sentence of John Alleyn, dean of St. Patrick's, when guardian of the spiritualities of the see of Dublin during vacancy. The sentence is full of the technicalities in which the canon law involved all its proceedings, and some endeavour is made to explain them in the Notes (p. 221). The suit had already dragged along for over three years, as the vacancy in the see was that caused by the death of archbishop Tregury in 1471, and we are ignorant of its final result, as this sentence merely settles the point that jurisdiction to proceed in the principal matter had devolved. Adam de Hereford had granted the church of Confey to the abbey of St. Thomas, but the deed of grant, which appears in the Register of the abbey, edited by Sir J. T. Gilbert, is undated. The principal witness was Simon Rochfort, bishop of Meath, 1 194-1224, and a confirmation of the grant, which Archdall dates A.D. 1201, was made by William [Piro], bishop of Glendalough, 1192-1214. The fourth document (p. 164) is a provocation or appeal to the Holy See by Patrick Fitz-Leones, a well-known citizen, who had been mayor of Dublin, against John Walton, the archbishop, and its wording is very similar to that of St. Thomas's abbey against the bishop of Meath. His appeal was read by Fitz-Leones himself in the nave of the cathedral of the Holy Trinity on 24th February, 1479, an d the copy in the Register is accompanied by a notarial certificate of the fact. At the end of the Register are two fragments of sentences by apostolic delegates, the text of which is in many places so corrupt and confusing, that it was deemed best not to Introduction. xxxix make translations of them, which could only have been unsatisfactory. The printing of the text as found in the original, with a short account here of the nature of the documents, will meet the requirements of the case. The first (p. 185) recites the proceedings had in a matter depending between one Sir Robert, and master John Wight, who was pronounced contumacious. A sentence of the archbishop of Dublin was annulled, and Sir Robert declared to have rightly appealed from it. A sentence of augmentation, which severed certain portions of the tithes of Damastown, Powerstown, Macetown, and Kilmartin (in the parish of Mulhuddart) from the fruits of the prebendary, and annexed them to the ancient portion of the vicar, was confirmed. Should master John Wight and his adherents molest Sir Robert in the collection of such parcels of tithes, they were to be placed under the ban of the greater excommunication, and denounced with bell, book, and candle, and on their continued obduracy, were to have the punishment increased, and to be shunned by all the faithful. The remaining fragment (p. 188) contains a proof of the ancient power of the Church, and its determination in exacting the unquestioning obedience of its members in matters of discipline. John Bellewe and Jonet Fitz- William, who happened to be related to one another in the third degree of affinity, had contracted matrimony, and lived as man and wife. On the fact of their being within the prohibited degrees coming to the knowledge of the ecclesiastical authorities, action must have been taken and a suit instituted. An apostolic mandate was received (and here the portion of the proceedings preserved in the Register commences), and in obedience to it, the parties were summoned before the archbishop [John Walton, 1472- 1484], as delegate of the apostolic See, who, on their humble entreaty, absolved them from the sentence of excommunication which their offence had brought on them, and pronounced sentence of separation or divorce. xl Introduction. The parties were not left long in this position, for the same document, which pronounced them two, granted them a dispensation to re-marry, and legalised their offspring. Such cases were probably of frequent occurrence ; and among royal personages these relationships, within prohibited degrees, were constantly put forward as pleas for divorce, when the yoke of matrimony pressed unduly, or was found inconvenient by either party. Similar cases of dispensation to re-marry will be found in Hardiman's edition of O'Flaherty's West Connaught. Walter Blake and Juliana Lynch, who had been married while related in the fourth degree, had such a grant in 1472; and Nicholas Blake and Cicily Lynch, related in the third degree, were permitted to re-marry in 1556. In addition to these documents will be found, at p. 172, official records of visitations of seven cathedral and monastic establishments in Dublin and its neighbourhood. On 25th April, 1468, archbishop Tregury visited the cathedral of the Holy Trinity, on the 26th, St. Patrick's cathedral, and on the 28th, the abbey of St. Thomas the Martyr. On the 27th, All Hallows' priory and the nunnery of St. Mary del Hogges, close to it, were visited by master Robert Waren, official principal of the diocese, who was found engaged in a similar mission on the 4th May following at Holmpatrick priory, and on the 6th at the nunnery of Grace Dieu. The records of the visitations of St. Patrick's, Grace Dieu, and the Hogges are incomplete, and, in the two first instances, the lack of further information is unfortunate, as on account of the strained relations existing at the time between the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's and their Metropolitan, as to his right of visitation, the narrative of all that occurred on the occasion would have been important. We are left to imagination as to any cause of complaint the good sisters of Grace Dieu could have had against their archbishop. The Dean of St. Patrick's reported that he had not dared Introduction. xli to visit certain of the prebends, situated in the Irish parts and in the marches, on account of the unsettled state of the country caused by the wars. As far back as 1451, arch- bishop Tregury had obtained from Pope Nicholas the Fifth permission to visit, by any suitable person or persons whom he should depute, such churches and monasteries of his city, diocese, and province as he could not personally visit without danger to himself. The reasons alleged for this delegation of duty were the desolation wrought in the lands, &c, of his church of Dublin by hostile incursions and the near neighbourhood of his enemies. In the visita- tion of St. Thomas's Abbey, the same causes were assigned for the reduction in the wealth and resources of that once powerful institution. The name of a prior of Holmpatrick, not mentioned in Archdall's Monusticon, is preserved in the notice of the visitation of that house. Richard Brystow, late prior, had parted with a chalice, which was held by some of the farmers at Kilnew, portion of the possessions of the priory. In many pages of the Register are preserved the names of parochial clergy hitherto unknown. The only remaining portion of the Register calling for notice (p. 179) contains a list of twenty-four sentences of ex- communication, incurred for the offence known to the ecclesi- astical courts as contumacy; these were pronounced between the 4th April and 30th May, 1478. Excommunications in the Church courts were probably, like outlawry in the civil ones, the last step in the course of futile proceedings to enforce attention to their processes. Anyone familiar with consistorial court-books will be aware that similar forms and sentences are to be found in the proceedings recorded in them down to a comparatively recent period ; pages of these court books are filled with the names of persons brought before the church tribunals for offences against the moral law, church discipline, and for disobedience of their mandates. In the present instance, in only three cases out of the d xlii Introduction. twenty-four, is the cause of contumacy specified; in one, the curates of Rathmichael and Killiney were suspended for not certifying a mandate citatory directed to them ; and in the others, certain parties were decreed contumacious for not appearing. One of the latter introduces a formidable, and, no doubt, frequently unwelcome official of the court, in the person of Roger Don, an apparitor, whose duty it was to sum- mon parties to appear, and to execute its orders and decrees. In the Register of All Hallows, Dublin, edited by Dean Butler, there is a statement that, in archbishop Tregury's Register of Wills, are to be found sentences of excommuni- cation against contumacious withholders of tithes. Number- less complaints as to abstraction of tithes were continually dealt with by these courts, but it is certain the only cases in the Register wherein the offence is named, were not in tithe matters, and the cases brought at the instance of the holy- water clerk of Malahide, and the proctors of Lusk, were not connected with such. In conclusion, on behalf of the Royal Society of Anti- quaries of Ireland, I have to acknowledge the liberality of the Board of Trinity College in granting permission for the publication of this Register under the auspices of the Society. At the same time, as a graduate of the University of Dublin, I may be allowed to express my high sense of the privilege which has been afforded me of editing one of the ancient manuscripts stored in our noble Library. Dr. La Touche, Deputy-Keeper of the Public Records, has laid me under obligation by the great interest he evinced in the progress of the work, and for many valuable suggestions ; his permission to use a transcript of portion of the Register, which had been made for official purposes greatly facilitated it. My colleagues in the department were most helpful, and to Mr. James Mills, m.r.i.a., in particular, my best thanks are due ; his kind assistance in points of difficulty lightened my labours, while his stores of know- Introduction. xliii ledge in Irish historical subjects were always at my disposal, and the reading of the proofs alone was a severe test of friendship. The Society has also to acknowledge its indebtedness to the Dean of St. Patrick's for allowing Tregury's monument in the Baptistery to be photographed for this work. From the position of the stone and the want of light in that portion of the cathedral, the task was no easy one, but its difficulties were most satisfactorily overcome by Mr. Milford Lewis, to whom this portion of the work was entrusted. Sir Arthur Vicars, Ulster, very courteously allowed a representation of Tregury's altar-tomb to be copied from a volume of ancient monuments of Dublin in his official custody. Mr. Thos. J. Westropp, M.R.I.A., has enriched the present volume with a drawing (frontispiece) from Mr. Lewis's photograph of Tregury's monument, together with a sketch of the archbishop's arms (p. xxiii), and a study of the ornaments on the expanded surface of his mitre (which appears below). These exhibit all Mr. Westropp's recog- nized skill and accuracy, and for his trouble the Society and the editor are much indebted to him. I must not omit to record my sense of the patience and pains bestowed by Mr. George Weldrick of the University Press and his staff on a troublesome text. CORRIGENDA.

NOTES Page i. Couples. — Throughout the Register, couples of wheat, oats, &c, are mentioned as sown in the fields, stored in barns and haggards, or as being in the hands of various persons. In Ellen Stiward's inventory, each couple is valued at 4 s . o d . and in other instances in the volume, the values vary from this sum to 5*. o d ., 6 s . 8 d ., 8 s . 4 d ., and even a little higher still ; it would seem as if the couple were equivalent to the produce of an acre sown, precisely the same sums being stated for the one as for the other. As illustrating the subject, the late Mr. J. F. Ferguson left a memorandum endorsed " Mode of collecting tithes in Ireland ; couples of corn," now in the Record Office among his collectanea, which throws some light on the sense in which the word was used at a later period. Mr. Ferguson quotes a replication of Langan to Tipper in 1603, wherein it is asserted " that the ordinary rate and custom for receipt of tithes in Ireland is not to receive every tenth sheaf, but every tenth acre or couples of acres, of what grain so- ever they are served with, and that the ordinary appellation thereof is by the name of couples of corn, and that every couple of corn by general estimation contains 12 pecks." In an answer of Lock to Murphy in 1601, there were stated to have been put in defendant's haggard 8 couples of corn, not worth 90 pecks, viz. after the rate of 20 pecks the couple. In a haggard at Oxmantown, were 6 couples of good choice corn, accounting every couple worth and to yield 20 pecks, every peck \os. od. a piece. A replication of Thomas Gerald to the answer of Arland Usher, states that 3 couples of corn mentioned in the pleadings were worth each 14 pecks, or more (and were always so worth yearly), and " although defendant had not found so much corn in said couples corn as same was set for, in all likelihood this was caused by his negligence or wilfulness." The rejoinder pleaded that said 3 couples were not worth 14 pecks each, and if plaintiff were hurt, it was through his own negligence, as he did not return from England till all corns were severed from the ground. Defendant denied that he received 9 pecks of wheat, bear and barley, and 15 pecks of oats out of same 3 couples. 192 Notes. Derrick Hubert possessed 46 acres of corn, containing 23 couples corn {i. e.) 22$". wheat and 23^. oats on Galmoreston, Co. Kildare. John Hach in 1570 {Dublin Will), bequeathed a couple of corn " this present harvest to be chosen upon 20 couples," and a couple of fallow " that is to be sown, and to choose the same upon 20 couples." His son Richard was to have "a couple of y e choice of all my fallow without division." Page 2. Lady of Stadalt.—" Eliza Plunket, lady of Stidalt." (Cat. Mem. Rot., xi Edward IV.) Balscaddan. — A parish in the barony of Balrothery East, Co. Dublin, two miles west from Balbriggan. The church of Balscaddan was appropriated by Archbishop Luke (1228-1255) to the cathedral of the Holy Trinity, for support of four canons. Balscaddan itself, the ancient name of which was Villa Radulphi, was one of the manors of the Priory. Henry de Marleburgh, the chronicler, was vicar in 142 1. Page 3. Garristown. — A parish in the barony of Balrothery East, Co. Dublin, which is called Balliogarii in the Repertorium Viride. A decree as to burials in the chapel of Palmerstown (which were claimed by the prior and canons of Llanthony, as belonging to the church of Garris- town, and by the canons of St. Patrick's, as belonging to the Prebend of Clonmethan), calls the church Ecclesia de Villa Oggarii ; a copy of this decree, taken from Alan's Register, will be found at p. 1 1 1 of the Register of All Hallows, edited by Dean Butler. Browneusyn. — This name appears in the Calendar to the Patent Rolls of Chancery as Brounensyn and Brounuesyn, while in the Calendar to the Chancery Inquisitions, it takes the form of Brownun- singe. A Robert Brounensyn is mentioned as of Norragh, Co. Kil- dare, 3 Hen. IV. (1401-2), and in 1475-6, the king granted to the Bishop of Meath, Rowland Fitz Eustace, chancellor, Christopher Nugent, Baron of Delvin, John Brounuesyn and others, liberty to establish a fraternity or guild of the art of glovemaking in the city of Dublin, to be called the fraternity or guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1523-4, one John Brownunsinge was seized in fee of 35 acres in Esker and Balliowne, and he devised all his lands to the church of Esker in perpetual alms ; his only son Robert died without an heir, and on his death, the proctors of the church took the profits thereof. {Chancery hiquisiiion, James I. Co. Dublin.) Notes. ig^ In Sir John Gilbert's Dublin Corporation Records, a Richard Bron- newsyn, shoemaker, is found to have been admitted to the franchise of the city in 1471, and a Robert Bronnewsyn in 1472. Page 4. House of St. Wolstan. — This priory — de scala cceli — which was founded about 1205 by Adam de Hereford, for canons of the congre- gation of St. Victor, lay near the river Liffey, close to Celbridge, and the majestic gateway, with some few portions of the monastic buildings, may still be viewed in Captain Cane's demesne at St. Wolstan's. This saint, son of Athelston and Wulfgeva, was bishop of Worcester, 1062 ; he died in 1095, aged about 87, and was canonized in 1203. His life was written by William of Malmesbury and by Florence of Wor- cester, and an account of him appears in Worcester Cathedral, by Dr. Thomas. Page 5. Principal. — Occurring, as this word does, in connexion with the provision made for the funeral expenses of deceased, the amount must be taken as the customary money composition in lieu of the ancient mortuarium. This mortuary was originally the best horse which followed the corpse at the funeral, and became the property of the parish priest as his perquisite. Sometimes the best article of apparel was taken, and at p. 64 of the Register, Alice Whyte leaves for principal, one cow. In certain regulations laid down as to mortuaries in the 5th year of King Charles I. (Table of Tithes drawn by the Primate, confirmed by the king; Morrin's Cal. Pat. Rot.), it is enacted that, when the clear goods of a deceased amount to so much, the widow and every of the orphans may have a cow, or her worth in other goods, generally appraised at 15^.; if there be a cow left, or her worth, the minister is to have a cow or i$s. Page 6. Ballymadun. — (Balmadun), Afacdun's townland, a parish in the barony of Balrothery West and Co. Dublin. The church was dedicated to All Saints, and was conferred on the nunnery of Grace Dieu by Henry de Loundres, archbishop of Dublin, in 12 12. The Reper- torium Viride says the original patron was de la Hide, but in 1532, the Lord of Gormanstown. The church was probably erected before 1275, but has been in ruins since 1630. 194 Notes. Page 7. Court of Dublin.— The consistorial court of Dublin held its sittings in St. Patrick's as early as 1277, and archbishop Alan mentions it as being fixed there in 1530. A stone in the wall near the N.-W. corner of the cathedral determines the ancient site of the court and date of its removal : it bears the inscription—" In hac area olim habebatur curia metropolitica Dublin, et de hinc translata fuit ad aedificium positum juxta parietem meridionalem navis hujus ecclesiae, 1724." James Selyman was appointed by the Town Council in 1457 a constable of St. Thomas-street, and in 1465, of St. Bride's-street (Gilbert's Corporation Records), His obit is in the Mortilogium of Christchurch, " 6 Kal. Maii, ob. Jacobus Selyman frater nostre congre- gationis." Such parties received letters of fraternity ; which admitted them to a participation in the prayers, the alms, and suffrages of the monks. Dr. Todd remarks that these obituary notices were not so much to record the deaths of the individuals, as to mark the days of the month on which their names were annually remembered. The name of Selyman appears in connexion with land in Cashel in 1316 (Ch. Ch. Deed, No. 547). Page 8. Merchant of Coventry. — At a meeting of the Dublin Town Council in 1460, at which it was shown that merchants of London, Coventry, Chester, and other parts of England, abiding in Dublin, confederated together, preventing freemen of the city from putting their merchan- dise on board ships freighted by these English merchants, it was resolved, in consequence of their action, that none of them should be admitted to the franchise of the city of Dublin ; any of such merchants already admitted to the franchise, to be deprived and to incur a fine. At a later meeting in the same year, it appearing that the English merchants had obtained a royal charter for a guild or fraternity in Dublin, and had threatened the Dublin merchants who traded with England with being beaten or slain unless they belonged to it, the Council passed a resolution that any freeman of the city sworn into this fraternity should lose his franchise and be fined, with other clauses directed against this attack on the liberties of the city. In 1479 the guild of English merchants trading in Ireland, or fraternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was established in the building called the chapel del Marie du Grace on the " brygge end," Dublin, and in 1481 a statute incorporating it was passed; the first master and wardens were James Welles, Thomas Whelbred, and Richard Pylkynton. A transcript of the statute of incorporation will be found in Gilbert's History of Dublin, vol. i. (Appendix). Notes. 195 Page 9. Church of the Friars Preachers, Dublin.— The friary of S. Saviour in Ostmantown, near the old bridge, was founded between 1202 and 12 18, by William Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, for the Cistercian order. The Dominican community took it over in 1224, and the present Four Courts are built on the site of the monastery. A Christ Church Deed (No. 29), dated in 12 19, contains the approval of Henry, archbishop of Dublin, of the erection of St. Saviour's chapel, near Dublin bridge, provision being made for the chaplain. Chapel of St. Mary, near the Bridge of Dublin. — Letters Patent were granted on 24th October, 1348, to John de Graunsete to found and construct on the stone bridge of Dublin, a chapel in honour of the Virgin Mary, with an endowment of ioo 8 yearly, for the support of two chaplains, to celebrate divine service there daily, for King Edward, Queen Philippa, the welfare of the founder, the mayor, &c, and the souls of all the faithful departed. Dr. Burke, in his great work on the Dominicans, erroneously ascribes the foundation of the bridge to that order. Page 10. Sir John Boys, chaplain. — Though the testator, Richard Boys, was a merchant of Coventry, it is probable he was a member of the Dublin and Meath family of that name, and that Sir John Boys was a relative ; he was prebendary of Mulhuddart, and, at the same time, Nicholas Boys was prebendary of Castleknock. The family had property at Rodanstown and Bryanstown, Co. Meath. The Church of St. Michael, Coventry, is, with one exception, the largest parish church in England. This splendid Gothic edifice, styled by Wren a masterpiece of architecture, the tower of which stands 136 feet high, surmounted by an octagonal tapering spire 130 feet high, was erected 1 373-1 395 by two brothers, Adam and William de Bota, of Coventry, both mayors of that town. Bubnell.— (Bubbenhall or Bobenhall) a parish in the Kenilworth division of the Hundred of Knightlow, Warwickshire, 5 miles S.-E. of Coventry, on the river Avon. Page 12. Church of St. Popan, of Santry. — The present church, dedicated to S. Pappan or Popan, the abbot, was erected in 1709, on the site of the edifice built in the 13th century, and dedicated to the same saint, which arose on the ruins of a small chapel, built by St. Pappan O? ig6 Notes. in the 6th century. (Walsh's Fingal and its Churches) Rev. J. F. Shearman, in his Loca Patriciana, says that at a very early period a church existed near Santry, called Disert Tale, a designation now forgotten, but it was probably named from being a retreat of Mac Tail, whose son, or grandson, Papan was abbot of the church of Santry. The accounts of his monastery are very scant, and the only memento of him as its probable founder, is preserved in the name of a townland called Poppin Tree in the neighbourhood. In the Martyrology of Tallaght, St. Papan and his brother, Folloman, sons of Nathfriach, are commemorated on 31st July, and the patron of the former used to be celebrated at the same date at Poppin Tree. The name Santry is derived from sen-treibh, tribus antiqua, old tribe or house. The late rector, Rev. B. W. Adams, published, in 1883, a History of Santry and Cloghran, which contains a large amount of information on those parishes. St. John's House. — The priory of St. John the Baptist, which stood outside what was known as the new gate, in St. Thomas-street, was founded by Ailred the palmer, as a hospital for sick poor, about the year 1 1 88, and he bestowed the church of Palmerstown on it. Archdall, in his Monasticon, says that, in 1542, the Infirmary of the House contained 50 beds for the sick; the vestments for the canons of Thomas Court and for the Franciscan friary in Francis-street were wrought there, and for their labour, the brethren had a tenth of the wool or flax which they spun, assigned to them, when the work was finished. The members of the different orders for whom they worked visited the Hospital on St. John's Day, when they presented offerings before the image of the saint, which stood in the great hall. On the saint's eve, the mayor and commons were wont to visit the place, and on such occasions, a bonfire was lighted in front. Several money bequests to this foundation will be found in the Register, and one provided for the inmates being furnished with a special repast (p. 98). The Roman Catholic Church of St. Augustine and St. John stands on the site of the institution. Page 13. Master Richard Fiche was perpetual vicar of Castleknock, and appears in the Register as official principal of the consistorial court of Dublin from 147 1 to 1477. His obit is entered in Christ Church Book at 8 Kal. July (25 July) 1482, and he gave £3. 3. 4. to the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity, ten marks to the works of the church, erected a pulpit, and conferred many other benefits on that community. Notes. 197 Page 14. Green Wax. — Estreats of fines, &c, delivered to the sheriffs out of the Revenue side of the Exchequer, under the seal of that court, made in green wax, were so called. They were levied twice every year by the Clerk of the Estreats and Summonister against goods only, and the term, "green wax process" was generally applied to the processes of the Summonister, Pipe, and the Treasury Remembrancer John Kempe's debt of 3*. 4 d . then, was a fine under this process. Church of St. Canice, Hollywood. — Hollywood is a parish in the Barony of Balrothery West, Co. Dublin, and from the Crede Mihi we learn that the church, "De sancto bosco," was said to belong to the prior of Llanthony, near Gloucester. The chancel is now a complete ruin ; the foundations which remain are 30 feet long by 20 wide, but the walls of the nave are fairly perfect. The west gable, which is very lofty, is surmounted by a perfect triple-arched bell-turret. Dr. Walsh considers the ruins, which stand in a sudden deep hollow on the south-west slope of some high land, as imposing. The hills around were once covered with forests, which from the name, holy wood, may have been sacred to Druidical worship. {Fingal and its Churches.) Page 15. Chapel of Grallagh. — This was a chapel of Hollywood, dedicated to St. Mac Cullin ; the original building, which was probably erected before 1306, was small and without any claim to architectural beauty, and the chapel has been a ruin since before 1630. Grallagh is in the barony of Balrothery West, twelve miles north from Dublin. The Church of Westpalstown. — This is a parish in the barony of Balrothery West, twelve miles north from Dublin, the church being one of those bestowed on the nunnery of Grace Dieu, and the Reper- torium Viride has a note that it was built on land which formerly belonged to the chief of Westpayle, that formed part of the whole land of Occadesis in Fingal. This was a later name of the Celtic sept of Cianachta, and after the establishment of surnames, the territorial chief took that of O'Cathasaigh, now Casey. In the Crede Mihi, the church is called the church of the land of Roger Waspaill. The church was ruinous by 1630, and Dr. Walsh judges from the remains that the building must originally have been extensive. An inrolment in a Memorandum Roll of Henry VI. shows that there were three Westpaltowns in Co. Dublin ; one Villa Waspail alias Gaboyn, near Hollywood, another near Blundelstown, and a third near Lucan. ig8 Notes. Friars of Drogheda.— The four orders in that town were the Dominicans, founded in 1224. by Luke Nettervill, archbishop of Armagh; the Franciscans, who came about 1240; the Hermits of St. Augustine, for whom a House was founded in the reign of King Edward I. ; and the Carmelites, introduced by the townsfolk during the same reign. Page 16. Friars, Dublin.— The four orders of Mendicant Friars here, were the Dominicans, or Black Friars, who took possession in 1224 of a Cistercian house, which stood on the site of the Four Courts; the Fratres Minores — Franciscans, or Grey Friars, whose friary stood in what is now Francis-street, on ground given them in 1235 by Ralph le Porter; the Carmelites, or White Friars, for whom Sir Robert Bagot, knight, chief justice of the King's Bench, erected a monastery about the year 1278, on a piece of ground purchased by him from the abbey of Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow. Aungier-street and Whitefriar- street now occupy the site of the house and premises. The fourth order was that of the Augustinian Hermits, whose friary was founded about 1259 by a member of the Talbot family, on a site since occupied by Cecilia-street and the north part of Crow- street. It was an important foundation, and was the general college for all the friars of the order in Ireland, but no records of it are now known to exist, and of its priors, the names of only three have been handed down. At the suppression of the monasteries, the last prior was found seized of a church and belfry, hall, dormitory, cemetery, and garden, besides other premises. Trentals. — The word is derived from the old French, Trentel or Trantel. A trental was a set of thirty masses, three being celebrated on each of the ten great festivals for the repose of the soul of a deceased person. More frequently, perhaps, the masses were said on thirty different days, and were, in fact, the same as the Month's Minds, the services lasting a month or thirty days. The poem of " St. Gregory's Trental " is to be found in Political, Religious, and Love Poems, edited by Furnivall. At p. 23 of the Register is a bequest for a celebration of the Trental of St. George, but it is possible the word "Georgii" may have been written in mistake for "Gregorii." Readers of Chaucer will remember his Limitour in the Somnour's Tale: " And specially abouen everything, Excited he the people in his preening, To Trentals . . . 'Trentals,' seyde he, " deliveren fro penaunce, Hir freendes soules, as wel olde as yon°e.' " Notes. iQg Page 17. Spioes. — Under this term were included not only groceries but drugs; in the 13th century, the trade in such was carried on by spicers or pepperers. Page 20. Church of St. Columba of Swords. — The fullest and most inte- resting account of this will be found in a Lecture on Swords and its Antiquities, by the late Bishop Reeves. John Alleyn, Dean of St. Patrick's.— His obit is entered in the Obits of Christ Church at 2nd January, 1505 — "Ob. Johannes Aleyn juris canonici bachalarius atque quondam ecclesie cathedralis sancti Patricii Dublin decanus qui legavit nobis doctorem juris canonici vocatum Abbatem alias Panormitanum cum repertorio super eundem una cum magno repertorio Petri Brixiensis episcopi." The Dean's will is entered in Alan's Register, and has been printed in Mason's History of St, Patrick's Cathedral, and in it he directs his books — among them this Repertorium — to be sold for the benefit of the hospital founded by him in St. Kevin's-street, Dublin. Dr. Todd is quite at a loss to account for the statement in the Book of Obits that the volume was bequeathed to Christ Church, and devotes some portion of his Introduction to the matter, conjecturing that the word "legavit "may be a mistake, and that between the date of his will and his decease, the Dean may have given the books to the convent. The commentary on the Decretals of Nicholas Tudeschus (commonly called Panormitanus) was printed in 1492, and five editions of the Repertorium of Petrus de Monte (called Brixiensis from his bishopric) were printed before the close of the 15th century. Page 23. John Fitz Robert of Rathmore. — John Fitz Robert appears in Christ Church Deeds (No. 341 and 342) in 1484 as a juror, in inquisitions taken as to lands and tenants of the archbishop's manor of Ballymore- Eustace. Rathmore is a parish in the barony of Naas, Co. Kildare. Page 24. Flat pieces. — The word piece was in common use for a drinking- cup ; standing pieces were covered cups, like large goblets, while shallow basins or dishes, in which joints of meat were served, were known as flat pieces. " Thenne the boteler shall bryng forth basyns, ewers and cuppis, pecys," &c. Babees' Book (for to serve a lord). 200 Notes. Stephen Buttiler.— Stephen Botyller, of Dublin, skinner (or currier), was executor of the will of Philip Russell, of the parish of St. Nicholas within, made in 1442, which is enrolled in a Plea Roll of 28 Henry VI. (No. 434). In 1470, William Bottiler was admitted to the freedom of the city as son of Stephen Bottiler, and in 1480 Stephen Bottiler was appointed constable for St. Nicholas-street (Gilbert's Corporation Records). Constable of Tallaght— This was one of the archbishop's chief manors, and the castle is believed to have been erected by Archbishop de Bykenor. Grayle (or Grail) was a service book, containing the responses or gradalia, so called because sung in gradibus or by course. It contained all that was to be sung by the choir at High Mass— tracts, sequences, hallelujahs, creed, offertory, trisagium, and the rest. At the Synod of Exeter, 1287, it was ordered that certain books should be provided in every parish, at the charge of the parishioners, among them the gradale. Lynwood says of it : — "Ponitur pro libro integro in quo con- tineri debent officium aspersionis benedictas, missarum inchoationes sive officia, Kyrie cum versibus, gloria in excelsis, gradalia, hallelujah et tractus sequential symbolum cantandum in missa, offertorium, sanctus, agnus, communio, &c, quae ad chorum spectant in missae solennis decantatione." Towels for the altar. — Two were usually laid on the altar, under the corporal, and a third was used for wiping the hands during service. Pair of organs. — This term is generally supposed to refer to the double bellows, by which continuous sound was produced, but it may have been used from the fact that the organ was constructed with a double row of pipes. One authority says that in old times one pipe was called an organ, the collection of them organs. They were frequently imported from Flanders, and in the Louth Church Accounts, Arch" x-91 (arc. 1500), the price paid for setting up a pair in the church was/"i3. 6. 8. Organ building flourished to a great extent in Kilkenny in the fifteenth century. Chasubles. — The chasuble is the eucharistic vestment which sur- mounts all the others, leaving the arms free, and as a rule it was made of velvet, silk, or cloth of gold, though in some old church inventories, damask, satin, tissue, and tartaron are found to have supplied materials for its manufacture. This vestment was generally decorated in the Notes. 20 1 most costly fashion, -with embroidery or orphrey work. In Mr. R. A. S. Macalister's Ecclesiastical Vestments (Camden Library) will be found a very full account of the chasuble. Albs. — The alb was a vestment with sleeves reaching from head to foot, which was usually made of linen, though silk and cloth of gold were not uncommon in mediaeval times. Its proper colour was white, but occasionally coloured albs were worn, and all were ornamented with patches of embroidery ; the vestment was secured by a girdle. Guidon. — " This is inferior to the standard, being the first colour any commander of horse can let fly in the field. It was generally of damask fringed, and usually 3 feet in breadth near the staff, lessening by degrees towards the bottom, where it was by a slit divided into two peaks." (Grose's Military Antiquities, 11. 258.) From the Prom- torium Parvulorum, we learn that the gytone (conscissorium — so called from being slit at the extremity) was the name of a sort of streamer. Guidon is supposed to be a corruption of guide- homme, and it is written guyd home in Harleian MS. 2258. Every guidon had in the chief the cross of St. George, with the crest, word, and device of the owner. In Henry V., act iv., s. 2, the Constable says to the Dauphin, " I stay but for my guidon ; to the field ! I will the banner from a trumpet take, and use it for my haste." Page 25. Carshet coffer of spruce. — The scrinium or serene was a coffer in which books and treasures were usually preserved in the churches. The meaning of the qualifying word carshet is not quite apparent, but it probably stands for casket, as a small coffer might be so described. The more usual term was a forcer or forcet, and if the word carshet stand for forcet, the coffer may have been one of the banded ones, manufactured in Flanders. The word spruce (which also appears in old wills as pruce, prewce, prosse, prews, sprusse, and pruse) would indicate a chest of foreign construction, imported by way of the Baltic from Prussia. The editor of the Bury wills states that Cyprus chests were used for keeping linen clothes in. Gremio (laming of the Shrew, act 11., s. 1) kept his arras in cypress chests. Tallaght, Finglas, and Swords were three of the chief manors attached to the See of Dublm, and at Tallaght and Swords were castles with extensive premises. 202 Notes. Proclamation at the High Cross. — The High Cross was situated at the junction of Skinner's-row and High-street, and it was customary, from an early period, to read from its steps, public proclamations, Papal Bulls, sentences of excommunication, and other documents of importance. Here were also performed public penances ; and peni- tents, clothed in white sheets, sat on the highest steps of the cross on market-days, with papers, announcing their offences, pinned to them. In 1483, John Weste, mayor, and the bailiffs of the city of Dublin, being required by the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity to certify how lands might be acquired, by testament, in Dublin city, showed (among other things) that on such testaments, under seal of the spiritual court, being duly certified to them, proclamation should be made on three market-days at the High Cross of Dublin, within a year and day after testator's death {Christ Church Deeds, No. 336). Page 26. Altar of St. Stephen. — See Introduction. Salt-cellars. — The word salsarium is as frequently applicable to the saucer as the salt-cellar. The salt-cellars in use were very large and elaborate, and this conversion of secular things to sacred uses was not uncommon, and has continued down to the present day. In Christ Church Deed (No. 290) Robert Passavaunt bequeaths a silver cup to his mother for life, and afterwards to the high altar of St. John's church, for a chalice. Visit St. Michael the Archangel's Mount. — This place is situate a little south of Marazion in Mount's Bay, Cornwall. St. Michael is said to have appeared to a hermit on the summit of the rock, and plenary remission of sins was wont to be granted to pilgrims thither, bringing their offerings to be laid on the altar of a Benedictine priory, said to have been founded by Edward the Confessor. Spenser, in his Shepherd's Calendar, alludes to the veneration paid to this place — " In evill houre thou hentest in hond, Thus holy hylles to blame, For sacred unto saints they stond, And of them han theyr name. St. Michel's Mount who does not know, That wardes the Westerne coste ? " Furnivall's Fifty Earliest English Wills furnishes a bequest similar to Tregury's; William Newland of London left 20 s for a man to ride or go on his behalf to St. Michael's Mount. In Tesiamenta Karleolensia, edited by Chancellor Ferguson, one John del Blamyre Notes. 203 in 1 361 left directions that a sum of money should be provided for a visit on his behalf to the shrine of St. James of Compostella, which, during his lifetime, he had vowed to visit ; and William de Wyllerdby, rector of Croglyn, left 4 s for a man to visit the shrine of St. John of Beverley. Philip Bermyngham was chief justice of the King's Bench ; and the Dublin Corporation Records show that, in 1485, he was granted part of Sewteres (Shoemakers') lane. This was a passage extending from a point nearly opposite St. Werburgh's church to St. Nicholas-street. In the fifteenth century the name was changed to Hind-street, in reference to its position at the rere of Skinner's-row, and the lane was built over in 1580. In the Christ Church Deeds, Bermyngham's name frequently occurs as an arbitrator and witness. Page 30. Fontana. — The name Drogheda, (droicheat= bridge ; aMew;, a rearer or foster-father, is said, in Du Cange, to be equivalent to nutricius. Chapel of the Holy Trinity of the Cathedral Church, Dublin.— The Journal (1564-5) of Peter Lewys, precentor of Christ Church Cathedral, and proctor of the works, which is in Trinity College Library, and which gives an account of the expenses of rebuilding the cathedral, mentions this chapel as in a dangerous state : the upper part being ready to fall, had to be pulled down lest it should break the roof of the cloister. A fraternity was connected with this chapel, as the master and wardens were appointed overseers of the missal bequeathed to its altar by John Gogh. Page 40. Principal.— In the will of James, Earl of Ormond and Ossory, roth March, 37 Henry VIII. (1546) inrolled in the Patent Rolls of Chancery, his son and heir was to have the " principals " of all his goods, like as he himself had of the lord his father. In the case of John Gogh, the testator, his son is to have his "principal," or his share of the goods at his election. At p. 160 will be found a direction in the will of Joan Steven, that out of the entire of all her moveable goods, the "principal" was to be delivered to her son and heir, without division, according to the custom of the country. In these cases it is not apparent what this principal consisted of. Page 44. The Church of Castleknock {i.e. the castle on the hill) was dedicated to St. Brigid. About .177, this place was bestowed by 206 Notes. Strongbow on his friend, Hugh Tyrrel, who founded a castle here, and took the title of baron of Castleknock : his son Richard, in 1184, in honour of St. Brigid, endowed an abbey for canons regular of St. Augustine. Castleknock is a parish in the barony of the same name, 3! miles from Dublin. The ruins of the old church of Mulhuddart, which was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, still exist. In 1552 King Henry granted a license by letters patent, to found here a guild or fraternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with power to erect a chantry for celebration of divine service. Clonsilla Church was dedicated to St. Mochta, whose name is still preserved in a well in the neighbourhood. Mulhuddart and Clonsilla are also situated in the barony of Castleknock. Page 47. Janeco Dartas. — This family held extensive properties in the counties of Meath and Dublin, and Janeco Dartas, probably grand- father of the Janeco mentioned as her landlord in Joan White's will, had been granted custody of various manors, among them those of Trim, Ardmulchan, and Ardbraccan, in the early years of Henry IV.'s reign. In the tenth year of that monarch he and his son had a special grant of lands near Lucan, and for portion of this the testatrix owed rent. So wealthy was the family that about the time of this grant they intended constructing vessels of war at Drogheda, for the purpose of resisting the Scotch and other enemies of the king, of which the Patent Rolls contain particulars. Janeco must have died about 1428, as custody of his lands in Meath and Uriel (he being deceased) was then granted, and a little later his executors, namely his wife Elizabeth, Janeco Dartas, Samson Dartas, and Nicholas Bailiff were ordered to be paid arrears of annuities. Janeco Dartas, his son, who succeeded him in the property, was admiral of Ireland, and the king appointed deputies in the ports by the sea-coast as long as he held that office. During the reign of Henry V., Janeco Dartas is mentioned as constable of the castle of Dublin, and he had a grant for life of the manors of Esker, Newcastle Lyons, and Saggard : he must have been a man of varied qualifications, as in 1422 he was appointed (with others) a commissioner to inquire into the weighing of gold, &c. Page 48. Trough with two trundles.-Keeve trough was a name in common use for a cuva, or brewing-vessel. Trundle or trendill was a small wheel or castor, and a trundle-bed was a small one, movino- on such which ran in under the principal bed, being drawn out at night Notes. 207 Page 50. Robert Yonglon (Yongbon, p. 51). William Yoimgbond was a monk of St. Mary's Abbey in 1510. (Whitelaw's Dublin.) Page 51. Church of St. Mary, Howth. — This was a typical collegiate church, served by a college of three or more priests, as St. Nicholas, Galway, and St. Mary's, Youghal. The original church was founded by the Danish prince, Sitric, in 1042 ; and in 1 190, when Archbishop Comyn built St. Patrick's as a collegiate church, Howth became one of the thirteen prebends assigned to it. In 1235, an amalgamation was effected with St. Nessan's church on Ireland's Eye, which was probably closed, and Sitric's church was enlarged, and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church, so enlarged, remained without alteration until the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century. For the fullest description of it, see No. 2 of Papers on the " Antiqui- quities of Howth," contributed to the Journal, R.S.A.T., 1896, by its Hon. Secretary, Robert Cochrane, f.s.a. Churches of Raheny, Coolock, and Little Grange.— The ancient church of Raheny (Enna's rath or fort) probably stood on the site of the now disused one in the village, on portion of the raised ground or rath that gave its name to the parish; the latter one, rebuilt in 1712, was dedicated to St. Assan. This church was formerly appropriated to the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity, but, by exchange, was attached to St. Mary's Abbey. Coolock {little corner) church was dedicated to St. Brendan, and the present church was erected on its site. The ancient one belonged to the prior of Llanthony, Gloucester, for his own use. Little Grange was a small chapel, which stands in what are now the grounds of Grange House, near Baldoyle, and it was used for service up to 1615. The west gable has a double-arched bell-turret, and the ruins are still very perfect. The church was appropriate to the canons of All Hallows, Dublin, and the land round was used as their farm. At the dissolution of the monasteries, their possessions here were granted to the corporation of Dublin, who are still the proprietors. Page 53. The Church of Lusk was originally dedicated to St. MacCullin, who died there in 497, but when granted to St. Mary's Abbey by the Norman conquerors, it was re-dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The former saint is supposed to have been buried in a cave (lusca) at this place, hence its name. Dalton, in his History of the County 20 8 Notes. of Dublin, notices the fact of a chapel within the church of Lusk having been dedicated to St. Maurus, to which chapel the testatrix, Alice Cassell, left 12"- Bishop Reeves, in his Paper on " Townland Distribution in Ireland" {Proceedings, R.I.A., vii., 482), says that at Whitestown, in the parish of Lusk, are the ruins of a chapel and cemetery, beside which is St. Maurus' Well, where, on the 15th January, there was wont to be an annual commemoration of the patron saint, for whom our ancestors under the Norman kings, had a particular veneration. The Acta Sanctorum and the Lives of the Saints, by Rev. Alban Butler, contain full accounts of St. Maurus, son ofEquitius, a noble, who placed him under the care of St. Benedict, to be brought up in piety and learning. This occurred in the year 522, the youth being then twelve years of age. In 543 Maurus, under King Theodobert, founded the famous Benedictine abbey of Glanfeuil, now called St. Maur-sur-Loire, and he, equally with St. Benedict, was regarded as the author of the Benedictine rule. Cf. Chaucer, " The reule of Seint Maure or of Seint Beneit " {Pro!. C. T.). In 581 he resigned the abbacy, and, passing the remainder of his life in solitude, died on 15th January, 584. The saint's remains were translated to S. Pierre des fosses, near Paris, in 868, and in 1750 were removed to the abbey of St. Germain des Pr6s, where they are preserved in a rich shrine. His name appears in the ancient French Litany of Alcuin, and in the Martyrologies of Florus, Usuard, and others. The parish of Lusk had many foreign settlers in the 12th and 13th centuries, and the dedication of this chapel in the parish church to a saint so venerated among the Normans, is a proof of their presence. Page 56. The Church of Glasnevin {Glaise-Naeidken, i.e. Naiedke's streamlet) was dedicated to St. Mobhi, its founder, and belonged afterwards to the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity. At Milverton, about 3 miles north of Lusk, is a holy well, called St. Movee's well, which is near the remains of a small chapel, dedicated to the same saint, who died on the 12th October, 544. He was known as Clairaineach {the flat-faced), probably on account of the ravages inflicted on his features by cancer, of which he was a victim. This saint established a school in connexion with his monastery, a description of which is given by St. Columba, and his pupils dwelt in huts beside the river Tolka. In 1178 archbishop Laurence O'Toole granted the place to the church of the Holy Trinity, which had one of its granges here. A list of the tenants, circa 1326, will be found in the appendix to the Account Roll of the Priory, edited by Mr. James Mills, m.r.i.a, Notes. 209 The Church of the Holy Trinity, Dublin, was founded in 1038 by Sitric, son of Aulif, the Danish prince of Dublin, who gave to Donogh, the bishop, a place to erect a church in honour of the Blessed Trinity. In 1 1 63 St. Laurence O'Toole caused the brethren of the monastery there to become canons regular of the order of Arras, a branch of the Augustinian order. In ir8o were brought thither from Armagh, a stone altar, and the " staff of Jesus," which St. Patrick used to carry, and crowds of pilgrims flocked to the place for the purpose of venerating such sacred relics. In the convent of the Holy Trinity was usually performed the ceremony of receiving the homage of such native chiefs as entered into alliance with the English govern- ment, and in its great hall, down to the 16th century, the mayor of Dublin was sworn into office each year. The Book of Obits and Martyrology of this church was edited with a very learned intro- duction, for the Irish Archaeological Society, by Dr. James Henthorn Todd, s.f.t.c.d., and the Account Roll of the Priory, 1337-1346, recently appeared as an extra volume of the Royal Society of Anti- quaries, under the editorship of Mr. James Mills, m.r.i.a. A very full account of the church is in Gilbert's History of Dublin. The Monastery of St. Thomas the Martyr, Dublin, was founded in 1 177 for canons of the congregation of St. Victor, a branch of the canons regular of the order of St. Augustine : this was a royal foundation, its origin being due to King Henry II., and it was the first of the Victorine order in Ireland. The site of the house was in what is now called Thomas Court, and at the dissolution the possessions were granted to the Brabazon family. The Monastery of St. Mary the Virgin, near Dublin, was a Danish foundation, and dates from about 948, immediately after the con- version of the Danes of Dublin to Christianity. It stood in what was anciently known as Clunlif, portion of which became Ostmans- town (now called Oxmantown), where they had their earliest settle- ment, and was originally a Benedictine house, being afterwards changed to the Cistercian order. In 1156, the abbot and chapter of Savigny, the head of many Cistercian establishments, ordained that their house of St. Mary in Dublin should be administered by the abbot of Buildwas, in Shropshire. Sir J. T. Gilbert has edited the chartu- laries of this abbey in the Rolls Series. Church of Clondalkin. — This place is in the barony of Upper- cross, county Dublin, 5 miles south-west from the city. The old church was dedicated to St. Mochua, or Machotus, the first abbot of the ancient house here, and it had three altars, in honour of St. Mary, 210 Notes. St. Brigid, and St. Thomas respectively. In 1179 Pope Alexander confirmed Clondalkin to the see of Dublin. A transcript of the con- veyance of MacGilleholmoc and his wife of their ancient inheritance here to the use of its church is preserved in the Crede MM. When Archbishop Henri de Loundres established the Deanery of St. Patrick's, he assigned for its support the church of Clondalkin. Page 57. Church of St. Michan.— The parish of St. Michan was for six cen- turies the only Dublin city parish on the north side of the Liffey. An early colony of Danes settled here, and from them the district was called Ostmanstown, which became corrupted into Oxmantown; on embracing Christianity, these settlers built a church, which they dedicated to St. Michan, whose name is found under 25th August in the calendar, and who is styled "bishop" and "confessor" in the Book of Obits of Christ Church. The south aisle of this church was sacred to St. Sythe, or Osyth. Page 59. Church of Balrothery. — This parish is in the barony of Bal- rothery East, Co. Dublin, and about the year 1200, the archbishop gave the church to the religious house of Tisternagh, or Kilbixy, in Westmeath. The name is derived from Baile-a-ridere (the town of the knights), and the church, which was portionary to the preben- dal church of Lusk, was dedicated to St. Peter. Bishop Reeves wrote notes for a history of the parish, which were expanded and printed in the form of a lecture. Donaghmore is in the barony of Lower Navan, i£ miles from the town of the same name. An abbey was planted here by St. Patrick, who placed St. Justin over it ; there is a round tower close by, and the ruins of a small church with a high, circular-headed arch, supporting part of a belfry, still remain. Churchtown, 3 miles from Trim, where are some small remains of the old church, with a burial ground. Bective lies 3 miles from Navan. A Cistercian monastery, known as De Beatitudine, was founded here in 1 146 by O'Melaghlin, king of Meath, and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This house and the abbey of St. Thomas, Dublin, had a dispute as to the body of Hugh de Lacy, which was decided in favour of the latter. Rataine is in the barony of Lower Navan, Co. Meath. Notes. 211 Page 6i. Servienti. — Taken in connexion with the mention of rent due, immediately preceding, this might be translated serjeant — an official of a manor, especially as the word used for servant in this Register is famulus. In the Testamenta Karleol, however, in which the word serviens continually occurs, it can only mean a domestic servant, and in Walter of Henley's Husbandry, serianz is uniformly translated servant, though in some instances it may rather have been intended for the Serjeant of the manor. Page 62. Bell. — The pecia co-operta, or covered piece, was familiarly known as a "bell," and the vasa enea was always so translated. Page 64. The Church of leckno, now Piercetown Laundy, is in the barony of Duleek, and in the Taxation of 1306, the Hospitallers were stated to be rectors. An abbey was said to have been founded here in 750, and some remains of the old church still exist. Page 65. Church of Grace Dieu (near Swords). — This was the church of the most extensive nunnery in Co. Dublin, founded for an order of regular canonesses of St. Augustine by archbishop Comyn, about the year 1 190, and the establishment became the great educational one for girls in Ireland in the Middle Ages. All that now remains of this once famous house are the foundations of the principal building, some twenty-seven yards in length by seven in breadth, and a fiat tombstone, on which can be traced the name "Johannes Hurley." Gratuity. — The contracted word so translated may be a mistake for quarterium or quartarium, a quarter (or eight bushels) of corn or grain. In the Testamenta Karleol. occurs " unum quartarium aven- arum," as also, "unum quarterum ordei"; and as Cecily Langan had wheat and oats, and a store in her haggard, she probably intended a charitable bequest to the church for her soul, or that some grain should be given as a gratuity to the poor. Page 66. A Crannoc was a measure of corn in Ireland, each crannoc con- taining, according to different authorities, half-a-quarter, one quarter, and two quarters. Crannock, or crannog, in Irish, was a basket or P2 212 Notes. hamper for holding corn, which was supposed to hold the produce of seventeen sheaves, and to be equal to a British barrel. Mr. James Mills, in the Account Roll of the Holy Trinity, states that the crannoc dropped out of use after the end of the 14th century; this is probably the case, so far as its use as a measure of corn, but in the Register it is found, at the end of the 15th century, as a measure for malt, salt, and saltpetre. Page 68. William Brekesper.— In a Christ Church Deed of 1496, "William Brekesper is one of several who deposed that the prior and convent of the Holy Trinity were the true rectors of Anilyffy, from Isold's fount to the Barfote, and entitled to tithes of fish taken therein. At p. 134 of this volume the name of Nicholas Brekesper, servant, will be found. Page 69. Abbess of Hogges. — In 1147, Dermot, King of Leinster, founded an abbey for nuns of St. Augustine, in a village called Hogges, near the east end of Dublin, close to the site of the present St. Andrew's Church, to which house none under the age of thirty were admissible. The name Hogges is supposed to be derived from the Teutonic word " hoge" or "hoga" — a small hill or sepulchral mound, a conjecture borne out by the vestiges and remains found close by in 1646, as described by Sir James Ware. In ancient documents the nuns of this establishment were called " Moniales Sanctas Mariae juxta Hogas." The abbess owned Calliaghstown, near Rathcoole, and also Rathgar. Page 70. Altar of St. Sithe. — This altar was situated in the south aisle of St. Michan's Church. Syth, or Osyth, daughter of Frewald, a prince of Mercia, commemorated as St. Sithe, virgin, in the calendar on 13th May, though contracted in matrimony to a king of the East Angles, lived a virgin, and was martyred in 870 by the Danes. In notes on the imagery of Henry the Seventh's chapel, by T. J. Mickelthwaite, which appeared in Archaologia xlvii. 370, occurs the following : — " South aisle : tenth bay. 2. A young woman, richly dressed, with long hair and turban head dress. She reads from a book which she holds in both hands ; a pair of beads hangs on her right wrist. This is St. Sythe." A light was dedicated to this saint in St. Mary's, Carlisle. Notes. 213 In a Quo Warranto Roll, King's Bench, Michaelmas Term, 9 James I., are inrolled some legal proceedings in connexion with the guild which used St. Sithe's altar in St. Michan's. Sir John Davis, attorney-general, filed an information against Peter Veldon, Nicholas Allen, and Richard Mackan, as master and wardens of the guild of St. Mary and St. Sithe in St. Michan's church, Ostmantown, to show cause why, without royal warrant, they had become incor- porated, &c. They answered that King Edward IV., in the :6th year of his reign, by charter, under the great seal, had granted to William, bishop of Meath, Sir Rowland Fitz Eustace, chancellor of Ireland, Philip Bermyngham, Robert Dowdall, James Aylmer, Simon Fitz Rery, Arland Usher, Thomas Fitzsymons, Robert West, and others, that they should form a guild under the above name, with power to elect masters, &c. The record is imperfect, breaking off abruptly, so that we are left in ignorance of the conclusion of the matter. Page 72. John Purcell was, according to Ware's Annals and Harris's Hibernica, abbot of St. Thomas's in 1486-8, but for how long prior to the former, and subsequent to the latter date, he held the office is not known. Richard Forster was abbot in 1476, and Walter Walsh in 1505, so that this document must bear date between those years; but there appears to be something spurious about it, as Edmund Ouldhall, a Carmelite friar of Norwich, who is mentioned in it as bishop of Meath, had died in 1459, having sat as bishop from 1450. The bishops who held the See during the abbacy of John Purcell were William Shirwood and John Pain. It is matter of regret that the document is incomplete, and were volume 11. of the Registers of St. Thomas's Abbey published, there is every probability that we should be in possession of an accurate transcript of so important a fulmin- ation on the part of the monastery. In his Preface to vol. I., Sir J. T. Gilbert says that several royal, papal, curial, and miscellaneous documents in connexion with this house are preserved in another Register, and adds that " The publication of it, as the complement of the present volume, would render generally accessible new and valu- able historic material now surviving only in a single manuscript." Page 73. Appropriation was the annexing a benefice to the use of a religious body politic, which thereby became perpetual incumbent ; the churches in the diocese of Meath appropriate to St. Thomas's, included those of Donaghmore, Trevet, Dunshaughlin, Ratoath, Scurlogstown, Laracor, and Syddan. 2i4 Notes. Page 74. Portioners. — Colonus partiarius was a tenant farmer who paid his landlord a proportion of the crop, instead of a fixed money rent; one who (as it were) went shares in the profit of the lands with his land- lord, hence a tenant by custom. In the Household Roll of Bishop Swinfield {Camden Society), the editor has a note on a parish, the incumbent of which is described as a portionist. The word implies one who shares in an office or its profits with others, and such have been held to be the remnant of collegiate establishments, or offsets from a station, where priests abode together as a fraternity, officiating in several chapels, and sharing in the ecclesiastical emoluments of their district. Exorcists. — The lesser orders in the Christian Church were four— ostiarius, lector, exorcista, and acolythus. The functions of the exor- cists extended to the expulsion of evil spirits by imposition of hands on possessed persons, on those recently baptized, and on catechumens. The ceremony was always accompanied by aspersion, and the name "benett" was doubtless taken from the aqua benedicta, or possibly from the vessel called in French, " b6netier," that contained the holy water. " Benett, id est adjurator vel increpator, a benette or a con- juror" {Prompt. Paiv.). Holy water clerks. — The holy water clerk (aquebajulus) was the official who carried the holy water vessel in processions and benedic- tions, and scholars in minor orders were always to be preferred for this office (Synod of Exeter, 1287). In small parishes, he acted as sacristan, and rang the bell. By a constitution of Pope Boniface, the aquebajelus was to be a poor clerk, appointed to the office by the curate of the church ; he had to serve the priest at the altar, read the epistle, and carry the holy water vessel, &c. He was, in fact, a " poor scholar," and the office was bestowed on him, to assist him in his studies. After the Reformation, the office merged in that of parish clerk. In a volume of Depositions in the ecclesiastical court of Durham, published by the Surtees Society, among those connected with the rebellion of 1569, we find that one Henry Hutcheson, in his examination, declared that "he knoweth not that one James Croft bore any holy water through the parish." In the Babees Book, Manners and Meals in the olden time, edited by Mr. Furnivall for the Early English Text Society, Plate VIII. contains a representation of a holy water clerk, carrying a holy water pot in the right hand, and a sprinkler raised in the left, as in the act of aspersing. Notes. 215 Page 76. Church of St. Canice the Abbot, at Finglas (Finnglaise, pure stream). — Finglas, which was one of the manors of the archbishop of Dublin, is partly in the barony of Nethercross and partly in that of Coolock, and lies 3 miles north from Dublin. An abbey was founded here at an early period (tradition says by St. Patrick), of which St. Canice, or St. Kenny was the first abbot, and his festival was kept on nth October. He was born in 516, and was one of the disciples of St. Finian of Clonard, and a friend of St.Columbkille. Ussher states that a life of the saint was long preserved in this church. In the churchyard has been re-erected the ancient cross of Nethercross, which had been buried by the peasantry in Cromwell's time, to save it from desecration. Rev. Robert Walsh, vicar of Finglas, succeeded in unearthing it, after it had lain hidden in the ground for 160 years, and it now stands in the north-east corner of the graveyard. Page 77. St. Audoen's Church was founded by the Normans (but at what date is uncertain), and dedicated to the patron saint of Rouen, the capital of their fatherland. St. Audoen, bishop of Rouen, died in 683, and his cathedral church is regarded as one of the finest speci- mens of pointed Gothic in the world. This saint's name is not found in the Irish calendars, but he was highly venerated by the French settlers in Dublin. Archbishop Comyn conferred the church on Grace Dieu nunnery, but his successor, Henry de Loundres, bestowed the church of Ballymadun in exchange, and St. Audoen's was allocated to the Treasurer of St. Patrick's. Page 78. Sir Thomas Newbery, Knight. — From Gilbert's Corporation Records, it appears that he was mayor of Dublin in 1457, 1460-1, 1463, and in 1464 he appears in that capacity as a knight. The same office was again conferred on him in 1467-8. On the fourth Friday after 25th December, 1468, none were admitted to the franchise of the city, because the mayor, Sir Thomas Newbery, was absent in the sickness of which he died. He died on 21st January, 1469-70, and William Grampe was chosen mayor in his stead. Thus Sir Thomas was not only mayor a number of times but he died while in office. An entry in the Assembly Roll of 1459 records that as he held a house on the key by the crane, for which he paid the town 3 s 4 d ; he was in future to have a lease for sixty years, 216 Notes. at a rent of i2 d a year; and an entry two years later contains a grant for ever to Newbery, of a loft which he had covenanted to build over the porch between the crane and a certain shop, he paying 2 d annually. A Christ Church Deed of 1481 (1030) mentions land formerly held by him in St. Michael' s-lane. Cup called a nut. — These cups were formed of cocoa nuts, mounted on stands ; they were generally covered and formed a kind of small urn. "A standing black nutte" occurs in a will in the third volume of the Fork Wills, published by the Surtees Society. Uinula is translated not or nut — a sort of small vase. Four nuts, with three covers, were preserved in Winchester Cathedral at the Dissolution. Page 79. Buckram bed. — French, bougran. Italian, bucherame, from bucare, to make holes. A coarse linen cloth, stiffened with glue, used in garments to keep them in form; also used for covering cloth and other merchandize. Page 80. Nicholas Sutton, baron, was son of William Sutton, also a baron of the Exchequer. His will is to be found exemplified among the Christ Church Deeds (No. 327). It is dated in 1478, and there is a legacy to his father for his blessing, as from the depositions in a prior deed (No. 315): he appears, on his deathbed, to have expressed sorrow for injury done his parent by detaining his goods, for which he wished to make restitution, as well as for the house he dwelt in against his father's consent. Yet another deed (No. 336), contains a certificate of the mayor and bailiffs of Dublin as to how land may be acquired by testament in Dublin city, and it specially states that the will of Nicholas Sutton was not enrolled in the Tholsel, in accord- ance with the regulations. Page 82. Church of St. Nicholas, Kinsaley. — Prior to the conquest, Kin- saley, which is in the barony of Coolock and county Dublin, was owned by Hamund, son of Torkill; and Christ Church Deed, No. 1 (1174), contains a grant to him of the place from Earl Richard, on behalf of the king, he paying two marks to the canons of Holy Trinity church, to supply lights before the Holy Cross. Strongbow afterwards gave Kinsaley absolutely to Christ Church ; and the church founded here, dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra, became one of the Notes. 2 1 7 chapels subservient to the mother church of Swords. The name denotes head of the brine, and shows that in ancient times the sea came up to the borders of the parish. Page 84. The Church of Malahide stands within the demesne, close beside the castle ; and Dr. Walsh thinks that its ruins, which are very perfect, show it to have been one of the finest and largest of the Fingal churches; for centuries it has been the burial place of the Talbots, the lords of the soil, to whom the manor was granted by Henry II. In the centre of the nave is a recumbent effigy and altar tomb of Matilda Plunket, wife of Richard Talbot, who had as her first husband the Baron of Galtrim, killed on his wedding day. She, "maid, wife, and widow in one day," is the subject of Gerald Griffin's well known ballad. Page 85. Maser Cups. — Maser or mazer (Dutch maeser = maple or a knot of maple wood) was a wood of mottled grain much used for making drinking cups, and the more highly esteemed in proportion to its graining. When surrounded by bands or rings of richly chased metals, the cups became very valuable. The maser was also known as murrus or murra, from a fancied resemblance to the myrrhene vases of olden times, and the cyphus mnrreus is frequently mentioned in wills and documents. In the ballad of Robin Hood occur the lines : — "They took away the silver vessell And all that they myght get, Peces, mazars and spoones, Wolde they not forgete." In ArchcBologia (l. 129), Mr. W. H. St. John Hope has written exhaustively on the subject of these English mediaeval drinking bowls ; the paper is illustrated, and has an appendix, which gives a list of those mentioned in old wills, &c. Mr. Hope enumerates five points as being characteristic of this goblet, namely— the bowl, the band, the print, the foot and the cover. At present there are only about fifty specimens known to exist in England, and their bowls are invariably plain, the beautiful grain of the maple wood being considered orna- mental enough. Those mounted on feet were known as standing cups, murra stantes. Mr. Cripps, in his Old English Plate, deals with the literature of the subject. The bands on maser cups frequently bore 218 Notes. inscriptions, and had names bestowed on them. In the report of the Hist. MSS. Commission on the records of Canterbury appear the fol- lowing examples of such inscriptions : — " God and Seynt Martin Blysse owre ale and blysse owre wyn." " God blesse both the and me, and the Holy Trinity, Amen ! So mothe yt be." As instances of such cups having names given them in this country, Robert Passavaunt, in 1439, bequeathed his cup, called " grubbe " or "grobb," to his mother for life, and afterwards to Holy Trinity church, and his cup, called " piper," to John Clerke, chaplain {Christ Church Deeds, 290). Page 86. Church of St. Mary of the Dam. — This ancient church, which was most probably erected before the twelfth century, stood on the south side of Cork-hill, nearly on the site of the present City Hall, and took its title " del dam" from a neighbouring mill dam. It lay close to the east gate of the city, known as the gate of St. Mary le Dam, which opened to the avenue leading from Dublin Castle to Hogges-green, named from it Dame-street. Sir John Gilbert, in his History of Dublin, says that the church was granted by Henry de Loundres, archbishop, to the treasurer of St. Patrick's, as part of the corps of his dignity (1219-25). The diadem used in the coronation of Lambert Simnel in Christ Church Cathedral in 1487 is believed to have been taken from the head of a statue of the Virgin Mary in this church. During the reign of Henry VIII. this parish was united with that of St. Werburgh, and in 1589 Richard Thompson, treasurer of St. Patrick's, demised to Sir George Carew, for 61 years, the house, messuages, church, and churchyard of St. Mary by the castle; soon after, the premises became the property of Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, who erected, on the site of the church, his historic town residence, known as Cork House. Sir John Gilbert notes that the name, Salutation-alley, which was to the east of Cork House, was derived from its proximity to the Church of St. Mary. The only monument now known to have had a place in this ancient sanctuary, is inserted in the south wall of St. Werburgh's Church : it represents a knight in armour, with his lady by his side, bears the Geraldine arms, and is supposed to commemorate either John, sixth Earl of Notes. 219 Kildare, or more probably Thomas, seventh Earl. (See Rev. Dr. Hughes's Church of St. Werburgh.) Page 87. Smothescourt.— In the Rental and Customal of Christ Church Priory, circa 1326, Thomas Smoth is stated to have held lands of the priory ; he had lands in Donnybrook, named, from the family, Smothescourt, now known as Simmonscourt. Page 88. St. Laurence land. — There is a Lawrencetown (or Laureston) in the parish of Finglas, which, being close to Mulhuddart, may be the place indicated here, as St. Laurence lands (the only ones of the name in the county), near Ballyfermot, were crown property, and were leased in 1561 to Sir John Allen. Page 90. Cemetery of St. Finian, Esker. — The name Esker signifies a sandy ridge, or a line of low sand-hills, and the Esker Riada extended from Dublin across to Co. Galway. The ruins of the ancient church here are 27 ft. by 6 ft., and the belfry gable is perfect. It was a chapelry, subservient to the church of Clondalkin, but to which of the numerous SS. Finian, bishops, it was dedicated is not apparent. The two most highly venerated were St. Finian of Lindisfarne (17th February), and St. Finian of Clonard (12th December). The tradition as to the patron saint's day has been lost, for, on inquiry, no one in the neighbourhood, at present, appears ever to have heard the date. The Church of Palmerstown lies at a little distance from the village of Palmerstown, facing Knockmaroon, but on the opposite side of the Liffey. The ruin stands in a graveyard, and consists of nave and chancel, connected by a round arch. Mr. Wakeman, in a Paper on "Ante-Norman Churches in the Co. Dublin" {Journal, R. S.A.I. , July, 1892, p. 105), has fully described and illustrated it. Within the cemetery, until some years ago, stood one of the oldest yew-trees in Ireland. The place derives its name from Ailred the Palmer (or pilgrim) who endowed the Hospital of St. John, Dublin, and the land and tithes of Palmerstown formed portion of its endow- ment. Page 91. John Bellewe was one of the sheriffs in 1469, and mayor of Dublin in 1473 ; he resided in St. Michael's-lane, off High-street, as appears 220 Notes. by a lease of his former dwelling-place, dated 1483, among the Christ Church collection, and died 1481, his obit occurring at p. 55 of the book of Obits of Christ Church. Page 92. Gerald Fitz Gerrot, Constable of Dublin Castle. — The list of con- stables of Dublin Castle, in the Liber Munerum Publicorum Hibemitz, ends with John Bennet, 1454, and recommences in the reign of Henry VIII. Fitz Gerrot's name, then, supplies a gap in the series, and it is possible he may have succeeded Bennet. He was Escheator of Meath in 1473, and appears in Ferguson's Calendar of Memoranda Rolls as comptroller of the coinage and deputy chancellor of the Green Wax during the reign of King Edward IV. ; about the same period, he had a custodiam of a house in Bray. Page 97. William Neill, of Clondalkin. — William Neill's ancestors had been thriving farmers in Clondalkin more than a hundred years prior to the date of his will, and Neillstown, in that neighbourhood, was named from them. Simon Neyll, one of the family, had also shops and land in New-street, Dublin (Manor of St. Sepulchre, by Mr. James Mills ; fournal, R.H.A.A.I., 1889). In 1355 Neyll complained against one William Nulaghe for breaking into his premises at Clondalkin, and Nulaghe pleaded that he was mere Irish, and not of the fine bloods. Neyll declared he came of the O'Neales of Ulster, who enjoyed English liberty, and the jury found in his favour. Page 98. The Antiphonar, or antiphonary, was a Roman service book, which contained the invitatories, responsories, verses, collects, and whatever was said or sung in the choir, except the lessons. Addis and Arnold, in their Catholic Dictionary, explain it as the book in which the antiphons of the Breviary, with the musical notes belonging to them, are contained. In the mass, the Introit, Offertory, and Communion are antiphons. Ducange defines the word antiphon as vox reciproca, an alternate ecclesiastical song, wherein the psalms or hymns are chanted alternately by the two choirs. The Book of Lessons contained the lessons to be read in the public service, taken from Holy Scripture, the lives of the saints, and the writings of the ancient fathers and other doctors of the Church. Notes. 2 2 1 Page 99. House of All Saints (or All Hallows).— This monastery, which stood near the ancient Hoggen Green, on the ground now occupied by Trinity College, was founded in 1166 by Dermot Mac Murrough, King of Leinster, for canons of St. Augustine, according to the Aroasian observance. A full account of the priory and its history will be found in the Introduction to the Register of All Hallows, published by the Irish Archaeological Society in 1845, from the original in the Library of Trinity College, under the editorship of Rev. Dr. Butler. A visitation of the house, held in i4b8, at which date William Stevenot or Stewnot (who appears here as apostolic delegate) was prior, will be found at p. 176 of the present volume. In the Intro- duction to the Register, the editor gives a list of the priors, and William Stevenot appears as holding the office from 1468 to 1482 ; from No. 365 of the Christ Church Deeds, we learn that he was still prior in 1496. Decree of an apostolic delegate.— In this decree of the apostolic delegate, on an appeal from a definitive sentence of the consistorial court of Dublin, in a matter of the presentation to the church of Confey (barony of North Salt, Co. Kildare), pending between William White and St. Thomas's Abbey, Dublin, it will be necessary to explain some of the technicalities of the Canon Law. If an appeal were made before sentence, it must have been made from a grievance in- flicted or from an interlocutory decree ; appeal from a sentence could be from a definitive one only. In the case under notice, appeal would appear to have been made both from a grievance and a defi- nitive sentence. An appeal operated two effects — a suspension of the sentence and a devolution of the cause : it suspended the sentence and jurisdiction of the judge as to that cause alone wherein it is appealed ; but an appeal did not suspend the jurisdiction of the judge below, unless it was in that cause wherein an appeal was interposed. When an appeal was made from an interlocutory decree upon pretence of grievances inflicted, the judge might not proceed in the principal cause, on the petition of the party appellate, and pronounce a defini- tive sentence therein, if the appellant disallowed same; but if the judge pronounced appellant's petition " bene appellatum et male judi- cature" he did not remit, but then began to take cognizance of the principal cause. Fatalia or dies fatales was a period of fifteen days assigned, within which appeals might be prosecuted—" tempus a lege praestitutum ad causas appellationum apud judices instruendas et terminendas." If an appellant neglected or refused to prosecute his appeal within the 22 2 Notes. time assigned by the judge below, or appointed by himself, he was presumed to have acquiesced under the first sentence, from which he appealed, and the judge below, resuming his jurisdiction, might compel the appellant to abide by that sentence. An appeal having been deserted by lapse of the legal term, the office of the judge might be implored on the score of a lawful impediment, and the appellant might pray restitution against the lapse of the fatalia. The judge above might then take cognizance, and pronounce de restitutione falalium, for he had a jurisdiction in taking cognizance, whether he had cognizance, and whether the appeal were deserted or not. The Instance of a cause was that judicial process made from contes- tation of a suit even to the time of pronouncing sentence, or to the end of three years. Where no contestation of suit was required as in summary executive causes, Instance was current when the judge began to take cognizance of the merits. An interlocutory was a sentence pronounced by a judge between the beginning and end of a cause, touching some incident in the proceedings ; it did not concern the principal matter, but only determined some exception or other which arose in the proceedings. A definitive sentence should always be pronounced by the judge sitting on the bench or tribunal. As to the delegate himself, when appointed by the Pope or his legate, he was always to be a person of some dignity — a canon of a cathedral church at least. Ayliffe's Parergon juris canonici (1726) enters most fully into all these questions, and may be safely trusted as a guide through all the intricacies of the Canon Law. Page 103. Church of Cloghran (little stony place).— This was commonly called Cloghran-Swords, to distinguish it from Cloghran-Hiddart, and the ancient church was dedicated to St. Doulogh. It was a dependency of Swords, and even, in Archbishop Alan's time, the Repertorium Viride shows that the vicar of Swords claimed burial fees as vicar of the mother church. This church became a ruin early in the seven- teenth century, and the west gable is now the only portion of it remaining. Page 104. The Church of St. Kevin, at the back of Kevin-street, which has ceased to be used as a place of worship, is erected on the site of an ancient chapel, dedicated to St. Kevin, of Glendalough, who was born Notes. 223 early in the sixth century, and died in 618. He was a native of East Leinster, and having pursued his ecclesiastical studies under St. Eoghan in Ardstraw, is said to have led a hermit's life in either Luggela or Hollywood, before finally settling down in Glendalough, where he founded a far-famed monastery and city. The earliest mention of the Dublin church dedicated to this saint is in the Crede Mihi, circ. 1212-28: — " Ecclesia de S. Keyuino pertinet ad com- munam S. Patricii, sed archiepiscopus dat vicariam. Et valet x marcas vicaria. Archiepiscopus patronus." Page 105. Newcastle, near Lyons. — King Henry II. formed this place, which lies two miles west from Rathcoole, into a royal manor, and it was held at sundry times by the families of St. John, Bermingham, and Le Scrope, while in 1427 the king committed the custody of the manor to the archbishop of Dublin to hold with his office. In 1613, a charter of incorporation was granted to the town, and it obtained representation in Parliament. The rectory formed part of the corps of the archdeaconry of Glendalough. The nave of the old church, erected some time in the fifteenth century, has been fitted up for use by the Protestant community, the chancel being in ruins. In Dalton's History 0/ Co. Dublin will be found the succession of the seneschals of the manor from 1378 to 1801. Page iio. Hooks of lent tackle. — Loof-hooks, a tackle with two hooks for pulling down the sail, and assisting the tackles in a large sail under a stiff gale. Long tackle is a technical term, and lent tackle may be derived from leng = long, lengthening tackle. Fimble hemp. — Hemp was sown in March and April ; the first (female or barren hemp, called also summer hemp) is ripe in July, and the other (male, carl, or winter hemp), at the end of August. Mavor says fimble, or female, hemp is chiefly used for domestic purposes, carl, or male, hemp for cordage, &c. Hemp fibres are tough and strong, and particularly adapted for weaving into coarse fabrics, such as sail cloth, and twisting into ropes and cables. Tusser, under Husbandry for May, lays it down : " Good flax and good hemp to have of her own, In May a good housewife will see it be sown ; And afterwards trim it to serve at a need, The fimble to spin and the carl for her seed." 224 Notes. In the notes to the Shutthworth Accounts occurs the following, taken from Die. Rus.; — "Be careful not to break what is left, be- cause 'tis to grow near Michaelmas, and is usually called carl hemp." In 1553, a statute was passed for the cultivation of hemp in Eng- land, for fishing nets. Page izt. Sir Robert Preston was deputy to Sir John Dynham, lord chan- cellor of Ireland, and on Richard, Duke of York, youngest son of Edward IV., being constituted, in 1478, lord deputy of Ireland, Sir Robert was appointed to represent him, the prince being still a minor. In August, 1478, he was created Viscount Gormanston, and he sat in the parliaments of 1490 and 1493. The lord of Ormond. — The Ormond family held the manors of Rush and Balscaddan, and its chief at this time was John, the 6th Earl, a nobleman who was considered the first gentleman of his age. The remark of King Edward the Fourth in reference to him has often been quoted— that if good breeding and liberal qualities were lost in the world, they might all be found in the Earl of Ormond. He was accredited from time to time as ambassador to the chief courts of Europe, and died in 1478 in the Holy land, whither he had journeyed in a fit of religious zeal and devotion. Page 122. Church of Stamullin. — This parish is in the barony of Upper Duleek, Co. Meath, nearly six miles from Drogheda. There are still some remains of the ancient church, in the cemetery of which is the burial place of the Prestons, Viscounts Gormanston, whose splendid old feudal castle is in the parish. Page 128. Church of Donaghmore.— This, the great church, called also the chapel of St. Margaret, a.d. 1275, stood at Dunsoghly, in (he barony of Coolock, Co. Dublin, and its ruins show it to have been an extensive building. A small chapel to the S.-E. has an inscription stating it to have been built by Sir John Plunkett of Dunsoghly, who died in 1582. Dr. Walsh believes St. Margaret's to have been in use in 1532, but it was ruined by 1615. This chapel was one of those dependent on Finglas church. The church of Chapelmidway was a chapel attached to Kilsal- laghan ; its ruins stand midway between the latter and St. Margaret's, Notes. 225 Dunsoghly (hence, perhaps, its name), but there remains no record of the founder or the period at which what must have been a stately building was erected. The church of Killeigh (Killeek), a parish in the barony of Nethercross, Co. Dublin, was one of the chapels dependent on Swords, which was afterwards erected into a parish church. Archbishop Alan called it " the most stately of the chapels of Swords." Peter Higley (Heygley), merchant and citizen of Dublin, is com- memorated in the Moitilogium of Christ Church, on 24th January, with a note that he bequeathed zos. to the prior and convent, and 20^. to the work of the house, and there is in the same volume on the 2nd February a commemorative notice of Millane Frayne, his wife. Page 129. Crribus. — It is possible that this contraction, instead of repre- senting curribus, may stand for cruribns, from cms, in which case it might mean a kind of curved axle-tree, but I have been unable to find an instance in which the word has been so translated. The Lord Deputy aud Chancellor.— William Shirwood, bishop of Meath 1460-1482, was in 1475 appointed deputy to George, Duke of Clarence, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and, about the same time, he held the office of Lord Chancellor of that kingdom. Page 130. The Baron of Skreen. — This place was anciently called Scrinium Sancte Columbe, from the shrine of that saint deposited in the monastery here in 875. The baron mentioned was Walter Mareward, who had just succeeded Richard Mareward, his cousin, in the title, which was originally borne by the family of Feipo, or Phepoe. On failure of the male line, and marriage of Margaret, daughter and heiress of Francis Feipo, with Thomas Mareward, who was killed in 1414, it was assumed by the latter family. The manors of Skreen and Santry were included in the grant of Henry II. to Hugh de Lacy, who bestowed them on Adam de Feipo; and readers of the Song of Dermot and the Earl, edited by Mr. Goddard Orpen, will recall the lines: — " De Huge de laci vus conterai Cum il feffa scs baruns, E Serin ad pus en chartre, Adam de feipo lad pus done." Q 226 Notes. The lords of counties palatine exercised the privilege of creating barons, and Hugh de Lacy, on whom the palatinate of Meath was conferred, bestowed that title on the holders of his principal fiefs, many of whom neither became peers, nor were summoned to Parlia- ment. Mr. G. D. Burtchaell, in his account of the Fitz Geralds, barons of Burnchurch, in the Journal R. S. A. I. (part 4, vol. 2, 5th series, 1892), very ably traces the origin of these palatine titles, and quotes from the Carew MSS., a document which speaks of " divers gentlemen who had the appellation of barons, and yet never was any of them lord baron, or summoned to Parliament, whose posterity to this day have their denominations of barons, namely, divers of the Fipoes, barons of Skrine, and Marewards, barons of Skrine." A pedigree of the families of Feipo and Mareward will be found in Sir John Gilbert's Chartularies of Si. Mary's Abbey, vol. ii., p. 23. Walter Mareward, baron of Skreen, became a freeman of the city of Dublin in 1479, and a John Mareward was mayor in 1388 and 1 39 ' ■ A monument to the memory of the former was erected near the high altar in Skreen Church. His first wife was Margaret Plunket, daughter of Lord Dunsany, and his second was Matilda Darcy. Page 131. The Church of St. Michael, the archangel, in High-street, was founded as a chapel by Donogh, bishop of Dublin, in the eleventh century, and Richard Talbot, a successor in the see, erected it into a parish church. The guild or fraternity of shoemakers, by their charter in 1404, was authorized to found a chantry here, and, in 1444, a guild was founded for the celebration of services in the chapel of St. Katherine, within St. Michael's church. In the reign of Henry the Eighth, this church, together with those of St. Michan and St. John, was assigned to the three principal vicars-choral of Christ Church. During the sixteenth century, it was said to be the most frequented place of worship in Dublin. The Synod Hall of the Church of Ireland now occupies its site. Page 135. Church of St. Katherine.— The traditional date for the erection of the original church is 1 105, but the earliest historical mention of it is in the Crede MM, in a list of churches in the deanery of Dublin. ^'Ecclesia de S. Katerina valet, deductis oneribus cum centesima, ix marcas." A note in Alan's handwriting assigns this entry to the time of Henri de Loundres, 1212-28. The next is a notice of the Notes. 227 year 1244, when in a deed conveying certain rents from St. Mary's Abbey to the citizens of Dublin, Walter Rotarius is described as residing next the church of St. Katherine (Gilbert's Hist, and Muni- cipal Documents, p. 480). The church had a Lady chapel, which was variously described in documents connected with the parish, as " St. Mary's chapel," "the chantry," and " St. Mary's aisle." In the Repertorium Viride the church is described as then newly rebuilt with a view to the safety of the parishioners, and at their expense, the earlier building having become ruinous. This parish was in ancient times united with that of St. James, but they became separate parochial cures about 17 10. St. Katherine's was a vicarage appro- priate to the monastery of St. Thomas the Martyr, and was subsequently in the patronage of the Earls of Meath. Losset. — A large flat wooden dish much used in the north of England. In Irish, losaid is a kneading trough; and O'Reilly, in his Irish Dictionary, says that, in Co. Cavan, the farmer calls his well laid out field his fine losset, or table spread with food. In the Calendar of the Patent Rolls of James I., a payment of one losset of butter out of Dromgagh to the prior of the vicars choral of Armagh is mentioned. At some distance from the east side of the tower of Tallaght church lies a curious stone trough of a horse-shoe form, about 4-J- feet long, supposed to have been an ancient font ; the country people call it " St. Mollrooney's" (St. Maelruain) losset; and Mr. Hancock, in his Antiquities of Tallaght, says that it is probably the identical vessel that Captain Allan fed his horses out of in 1612. Tradition has it that it was used for washing the feet of the pilgrims who frequented the sacred shrines at Tallaght. Several townlands in Ireland bear the name of Losset, the term being used not so much in allusion to shape (Dr. Joyce remarks) as to use and production, the word being applied to a productive field or good rich land. Mesch Kewe. — Mash or mesh, the grains or wash of a brewery. The mash fat or keeve was the large tub or vessel which contained the malt in brewing. The " mash cive " was the sign of a house in Cuffe-street in 1766. Page 139. Carmarthens. — There were families named Karmardyn, Carmar- dyn, or Carmadine in Dublin and Kilkenny at this time. Gilbert's Historical and Municipal Documents shows that among the free citizens of Dublin, 1225-1250, were Thomas and Simon de Kermerdin. Michael de Kermerdin had land in Thomas-street in 1263, and Adam, son of Ralph de Kermerdin, was a Dublin guild merchant in 1256. Q2 228 Notes. Page 143. The Naul, the name of a village near Balbriggan, is derived from an aill, the rock or cliff, originally applied to the rock on which the castle stands. The word was shortened to n'aill, and has come down to us in the form Naul, which Dr. Joyce says very nearly represents the pronunciation. The natives always call the place " the Naul," and so both the English and Irish articles are used together. Page 145. St. Maelruain of Tallaght. — This saint was son of Colman, and he is commemorated in the calendar on 7th July. Cellach, son of Donnchadh, King of Leinster, is said to have bestowed on him the site of Tallaght, where, in 769, he founded a church in honour of St. Michael, and collected round him a fraternity pledged to a strict observance of monastic rules. St. Maelruain has generally been regarded as only an abbot, though some authorities assert him to have been a bishop. The name of Tallaght is derived from the pestilence {tamh) which destroyed Parthalon's colony, tamhleacht being the plague monument, where all who died of it were buried together. The martyrology of Tallaght is said to have been composed by St. Maelruain, with the assistance of Aengus, known as the Culdee, an inmate of the monastery, which formed a community of Culdees. It is believed the saint died 7th July, 792. Page 146. John Chever was chief justice of the King's Bench, as appears by a deed of 1472, in the Chartularies of St. Mary 's Abbey, which so de- scribes him. He was succeeded in the office by Philip Bermyngham, who is mentioned in his will. Chever's name as chief justice is not in the Liber Munerum or in the Cal. Pat. Rot. Sparver. — This was the canopy or wooden frame-work over a bed, with the curtains which depended tentwise from it, but, as a rule in ancient wills and documents, the word was used to denote only the latter. Thus, in the Shuttleworth Accounts, black bokeram is found to have been the material that lined the sparver or curtains and canopy of a bed. Godefroi gives as the explanation of espervier (espre- vier), " l'ensemble des pieces qui composent le coucher," and cites from Inventories of 1 380 — " le grant esprevier vermeil, tout gamy" and " ung esprevier vert, vielz gamy de ciel, de dossier, de courtines vers et deux coultes pointes." In the Camden Miscellany, 1855, the following is quoted — " Some have curtains, some sparvers, about the bedde, to keep away gnattes," and " a pavilion or the sperviour of a Notes. 229 bed" occurs in Thomas's Italian Dictionary, 1548. The etymology of the word is uncertain, but as a pavilion in the last quotation is synonymous with spervier, it is remarkable that in the patent granted, 5 Edward IV., to the Company of Upholsterers, the tents in their arms are called spervers. In the Bury Wills mention is made ofsparver curtains, and of a bed made sparverwise ; while in an account of one of the Scottish kings, in 1474, allowance is made for " tartane for a sparwort abouin my lord prince's cradill." Nares quotes, " a happie woman hath as quiet sleeps and as contented wakings in a bed of cloth as under a sparver of tissue," and " she hid herself behind the sparvise and curtaine of the bed." Page 149. Cramlin (Cruim ghlinn, the curved glen). — This was one of the ancient manors annexed to the crown; and successive monarchs granted it for various terms to the families of Jordan, Courtenay, Slegh, Merbury, Blakeney, &c. The Manor Court Book of Esker and Crumlin, 1592-7, is in Marsh's Library. It contains inquisitions, presentments, pleas of land, and extents of the manors, with tenants' names, &c. In the Crede Mihi, among charters and grants from John Earl of Moretain, lord of Ireland, is one of 1193, constituting the church of Crumlin a prebend attached to S. Patrick's, and in the list of Dublin churches, arc. 1212-28, is the entry — "Ecclesia de Cromelyn pertinet ad communam S. Patricii, de dono regum anglie." Page 150. Aderrig (Ath-dearg, the red ford). — A parish in the barony of Newcastle, Co. Dublin. The rectory was appropriate to the vicars choral of St. Patrick's ; and the ruins of the church, 1 2 yards by 6 yards, thickly covered with ivy, occupy a very sequestered situation. In the Crede Mihi — " Ecclesia de Adderke, valet deductis oneribus cum centesima xiiii marcas. Johannes de Daunteseia Rector. Archiepisco- pus patronus" {arc. 1212-28). Page 152. Doublet of defence. — The diplois, explained in the Catholicon as " duplex vestis et vestis militare," would not appear to have been originally, as it subsequently became, a garment of defence, and at a still later period it seems to have assumed its former character as a garment in ordinary use. In the fourteenth century, when the dublectus was worn by knights and nobles, wadded defences were 230 Notes. made in Paris, and tailors began to ply distinct crafts— that of the pourpontier and that of double tier; then it was that the doublet became a defensive military garment. Among the munitions of Hadlegh castle, in 1405, were " 25 doublettes and 24 jakkes," and the Paston Letters tell us that wheu the Duke of Suffolk was murdered at sea, in 1450, he was attired in a gown of russet and doublet of velvet mayled. In a letter of Sir John Paston, 1473, he asks that a new vestment of white damask belonging to a deacon, which is amongst his other gear at Norwich be sent to him, adding, that he will make an arming doublet of it, even though at a future time, he should give a long gown of velvet, to make another vestment. Many instances have occurred (some in this Register) in which articles intended for secular use have been devoted to the service of the church, but there does not appear to be any precedent for the contrary practice ; and this intended use of an ecclesiastical vestment for warlike purposes, is not a little surprising in so good a son of the church as Sir John Paston. Page 154. The Church of St. Nicholas within the walls, situated in the street of that name, which was known by its present appellation as early as the twelfth century, was founded by Donogh, bishop of Dublin, in 1038, and was appropriated to the Economy Fund of St. Patrick's Cathedral. In 1479, Edward IV. granted a patent to John Earl of Worcester, Elizabeth his wife, Sir Thomas Bath, John Chevir, Thomas Birmingham, Stephen Botiller, and John West, merchants, to found a chantry here in honour of the B. V. M., and its chapel was on the south side of the church. Archbishop Alan mentions St. Nicholas' as being in an impoverished condition in his time (1532), and the south wall is recorded as having been rebuilt in 1578. Portion of the ancient cemetery was built over by offices of the Tholsel, when it was rebuilt in 1683. A gate in the west wall is called the "priest's gate," and some parts of the church still stand on the east side of St. Nicholas-street. The parish of St. Nicholas within was the smallest in Dublin, being little over five acres in extent, and within its bounds, James Ussher was born in 1580. Though the church rebuilt in 1707 was unroofed in 1835, the very substantial revenues of the chantry remained, and were paid to the last chaplain down to quite a recent period. Page 156, Jacobus Payn.— Unless John Kyng's wife were known as James Payn, it seems better to translate her names Jacoba ; in Gilbert's Cor- poration Records, the name Jacoba Mosse is found. Notes. 23 1 The Church of St. Nicholas without the walls was dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra, and occupied the north transept of St. Patrick's Cathedral. It fell into decay, but was restored and formed portion of the latter building until its renovation by the late Sir B. L. Guinness. The Repertorium Viride says of this and the church of St. Nicholas within — "Ilia quippe duplex est, tam infra muros quam intra navem ecclesiae cathedralis S. Patricii in suburbiis altera, et utraque assignata est communi praefatae ecclesiae, suntque satis exigue et exiles hodie 1532, veruntamen posterior surrogatur loco parochialis ecclesiae olim S. Patricii mutaturque altera porta vulgo consequent' altera in le comb non mutata nomine prout in evidentiis patet." A chafing dish, when of iron, was a kitchen utensil for heating victuals ; when of earthenware, it became a portable dish to hold live coals, for heating anything set on it. Brase-mortar. — It seems as if this were intended for brass mortar, as lower down, " pint pots" and " flock bed " occur among the Latin words. " One brass marter and an iron pistoll, 10^.," occur in the inventory of Thomas Ronaine, Cork, 1641. Latten. — Auricalcum, a hard, mixed, yellow metal, closely re- sembling brass ; its precise composition has not been ascertained, but in appearance it was bright-gold coloured. The word is derived from laiton or leton, an old French word for brass. Mr. Harland, editor of the Shuttleworth Accounts, in dealing with an agreement for a tomb to be erected to the memory of one of the Earls of Warwick (1449-50), notes that certain parts were to be made of the finest latten, and calls attention to the fact that the metal still exists on the tomb, so that the disputes and conjectures of antiquarians as to its real composition might easily be set at rest. In Stowe's Survey of London, under Lothbury, occurs the passage : — " Candlesticks, chafing dishes, spice mortars, and such like copper or laton works." A latten water-tap will be found figured in Archcsologia, vol. liii., pt. 1., p. 168. Black pots of leather. — The large leathern cans formerly in use for small beer were called black jacks, and Heywood, in 1635, says that, when Frenchmen first saw them, they reported that the English used to drink out of their boots. The black pot was probably smaller. Page 158. Beads . . . with three rings of silver. — In the Bury Wills and Inventories occur, " beads of ambyr with a ryng of silvir," and "beads of white ambyr, with silver gilt ring." 232 Notes. Page 159. Master John Waren's commission as official principal of the consistorial court of Dublin is No. 1034, Christ Church Deeds. He was admitted a freeman of the city of Dublin in 1481. Page 160. Joan Stevyn. — In the Mortilogium of Christ Church occurs, on 26th January, the obit of Joan Stevyn, a sister of the congregation, who bequeathed 6*. Id. to the works of the church. No such bequest appears in the will of the testatrix here. Page 161. Parish of St. Magnan. — This saint, also called Maighnen, or Maighnend, son of a chieftain named Aidus, and probably a native of Oirghialla, a district in the north of Ireland, was abbot of the monas- tery which derived its name, Kilmainan, or Kilmainham, from him, a. d. 606, and his festival was celebrated on 18th December. No particular life of the saint is known to exist, but in addition to the notices in the Martyrologies of Tallaght and of Donegal, there is a notice of a saint named Magnentius in the Acts of St. Cuanna (Colgan's Acta SS-), who is supposed to be St. Magnan. On the site of St. Magnan's monastery Strongbow founded, in 1174, a priory for Knights Hospitallers, or Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, when it became an asylum for guests and strangers. Its priors sat as barons, and the house was frequently the residence of the Lords Deputy of Ireland, the various buildings and offices being very stately and commodious. Adjoining was a cemetery, the ancient burial-place of the monastery, now known as " Bully's Acre," where still stands an ancient cross, said to have been erected over the grave of one of Brian's sons, slain at the battle of Clontarf. Finola {Finnghuala = of the fair shoulders). — This name has been well nigh obsolete since the beginning of the eighteenth century, but some still retain it in the abbreviated form of Nuala (Topographical Poems, O'Dubhagain and O'Huidhrin, ed. by O'Donovan). Page 164. A provocation was a call or appeal to the Holy See. By the statute 25 Hen. VIII. c. 19, no manner of appeals were to be had, provoked, or made to the Bishop of Rome, any persons having cause for appeal or provocation in future being compelled to take same to the King in Chancery. Registrar of Appeals or Provocations Spiritual Notes. 233 to the King in Chancery became the title of an official of that court. The statute 24 Hen. VIII. c. 12 speaks of the King's subjects as pursuing, provoking, or procuring appeals to Rome. Patrick FitzLeones, or FitzLenys, was mayor of Dublin in 1477, 1482, and H94- I n '473 Thomas Laundey and John Bellewe assigned to him a messuage in High-street, Dublin, and a garden situate between Rupell-street and the city wall {Christ Church Deeds, 996). This family had been long resident in Dublin, for as far back as 1281 a Geoffrey Fitz Leonis and his wife Johanna granted to the convent of the Holy Trinity a rent out of Ballyardolf. In Mem. Roll. Ed. iv. Patrick Fitzleones of Dublin, contrary to the statute 26 Hen. VI., is found to have bought silver without paying the duty of 40*/. per pound. Page 165. Infliction. — In chronology, a cycle of fifteen years. Constantine the Great, having reduced the time for service in the army to fifteen years, imposed a tax at the end of that term to pay the troops discharged. This introduced the custom of counting by this period. The Council of Nice ordained that accounts of years should no longer be reckoned by olympiads, but that the indiction should be used, and the Roman and Pontifical (so called because Papal Bulls from the ninth to the fourteenth centuries generally used it) began on 1st January, 313. Page 167. Church of St. Mary at Osney. — This was the church of the reli- gious house founded in 1129 by Robert D'Oyley for Augustinian canons at Osney, close to Oxford, and dedicated to St. Mary. The church was small at first, but was rebuilt on an enlarged scale by abbot John Leech, and it had a number of chapels and altars within it. On the dissolution the building was taken down icirc. 1539), and its stones were conveyed to Christ Church, Oxford. A porthose was a portable breviary, and the word portiforium (which appears as portifolium in the Register) is the exact equivalent of the English-French porthors, i.e. the book the priest carried abroad {portare foras). The best MSS. of Chaucer spell it porthors, but it was softened to porthos, portos, portuis, and portuass. In an inven- tory of 1455, parish of St. Ewen, Bristol, among the church books is enumerated " one old portuos noted, with lessons, chapiters sawter and ympnes." 234 Notes. Page 168. Pupilla oculi.— A manual for the guidance of the priesthood, by John de Burgo, chancellor of the University of Cambridge. It dealt with the administration of the seven sacraments, and was first printed in 1510 (see Introduction). A jack was a horseman's defensive upper garment, quilted and covered with strong leather. These garments were also made of steel or iron plates, covered with leather, fustian, or canvas, sometimes of skins with wool between. A full account of this species of armour will be found in Sir S. Meyrick's paper in Archaologia, XIX.-224; and a canvas coat of the kind, which once belonged to Sir Hugh Wil- loughby, was shown at the Tudor Exhibition in London. In Sir John Fastolf's inventory, 1459 {Archaologia, xxi.) besides a "jakke of lynen cloth stuffed with mayle," there were a "jakke of blake cloth lyned with canvas mayled," and " six jakkes stuffed with home." The coats mentioned here would have been required probably for the archbishop's retainers. Vestments.— The complete suit for the altar was usually compre- hended in the word vestimentum — chasuble, stole, dalmatic, alb, amice, maniple, towels, altar cloth, frontlet, curtains, and case for the pix. Corporas cloth and cases. — The consecrated linen cloth, folded and placed upon the altar during the service of the mass, on which the sacred vessels rested ; when not in use it was placed in a special case, which was generally richly embroidered, and not unfrequently adorned with precious stones. By a provision of 1229, every church was bound to have "duo paria corporalium." {See. Inventories 0/ St. Paul's for lists of such). Two safes. — Gardeviant was originally a wallet for a soldier to put his victuals in ; then the name was given to a chest or basket for meat, and finally it was used for anything in the nature of a safe or trunk. Fustians were cloths over and under the sheets of a bed — a kind of blankets. Roger Flore (or Flower) in 1424 bequeathed two beds, a pair of fustians for the one, a pair of blankets for the other, and to each bed two pairs of good sheets {Early English Wills). King Henry VII. had a fustian and sheet under his feather bed, over the bed a sheet, and then an over-fustian above {Household Orders). Bluesay. — Say, from sagum, cloth, a very light delicate serge or woollen cloth. It is supposed by some to have been silk, but in "Free Trade," by Misselden, a London merchant (1622), he enume- rates among the draperies of England " sayes and other manufactures Notes. 235 of wool." An act of 1523 recites that, since 1467, the making of worsteds and sayes had increased in Norwich. Some communities of monks wore shirts of say. Holland cloth was a strong sort of linen, first made in Holland ; in Bristol churchwardens' accounts, 1455, eight ells of this cloth were used for the parson's surplice. Bord Alexander. — Altar cloths and vestments were made of this textile fabric, a kind of striped silk. In " Inventories of Religious Houses at the Dissolution" (Archceologia, xliii. = 241) it is explained as embroidery of Alexandria = bordura Alexandra, an eastern fabric, bord in Arabic meaning striped cloth. In the York Registry Wills are several references to the use of this material for vestments, and it seems strange to find it used here for pillows. Page 169. The amice was a kind of hood made of linen, with variegated edges, and when worn it was turned down as a collar, over the other vestments, round the neck. About 1478 Archbishop Walton annexed the perpetual vicarage of St. Kevin to his choral vicar of the prebend of Cullen, who accordingly appeared in the choir, habited as a minor canon in token of his pre- eminence. The archbishop of Dublin always held the prebend of Cullen, and it seems to have been the custom for him to bequeath to his vicar in the cathedral his surplice and amice. Page 170. Hinksey (north), or Laurence, a parish in the Hormer Hundred, union of Abingdon, Berkshire, a quarter of a mile west of Oxford. It has been described as " old, old, dry-walled, tottering, time-worn Hinksey, an Arcadian village, as secluded as a wood pigeon's nest," and readers of Matthew Arnold will remember the opening lines of Thyrsis — " How changed is here each spot man makes or fills I In the two Hinkseys nothing keeps the same." Waterstock, a parish in the Hundred of Thame, Oxfordshire, 5 miles west of Thame. Little Haseley, a township in the parish of Great Haseley, union of Thame, Oxfordshire (attached to the deanery of Windsor). Combe-long, a parish in the Hundred of Wootton, union of Wood- stock, Oxfordshire, 2* miles south-west of Woodstock. 236 Notes. Page 171. The castle mills, at Oxford, were over the river weir. Robert D'Oylly, founder of Osney Abbey, gave the tithes of them with the mansion then standing, to the canons, who subsequently lost them, but Richard the Second granted a moiety of the mills to Osney, which was held by the abbey up to the dissolution. They were a fruitful source of controversy between the brethren and the burgesses of Oxford. In Domesday, a mill within the city was mentioned, and this is believed to have been the castle mill. Medley was a pretty little farm, used as a place of retirement by the abbot and brethren, which was furnished with an oratory for service. The island of Middeny (Medley) was the first land bestowed on Osney abbey, and the entry in the Annals of Osney is " eodem anno (1147) donata insula Middenia ecclesiae nostrse a civibus Osonise." In the Valor Eccksiasticus (Henry VIII.), Midley, then let by the year to Henry Roys, is enumerated among the possessions of the abbey. Page 172. William Lynton. — Though so infirm and of such an age, as in 1468 to require a coadjutor, Lynton did not resign his position as prior of Holy Trinity until 1474, when Thomas Harrold succeeded him, and he did not die until the 5th October, 1480. Page 173. Visitation of St. Patrick's Cathedral. — In 1457, when Philip Norris was dean, archbishop Tregury had a dispute with him and the chapter as to his right of visitation. The matter was referred to the arbitration of the abbot of St. Mary's, master Thomas Walsh, and master Richard Rowe, who decided in favour of the dean and chapter. On the appointment of John Walton to the see, in 1472, he tried to exercise ordinary jurisdiction over the dean and chapter, but dean Alleyn insisted on being recognised as ordinary in his own cathedral church. Walton opposed him and deprived the dean, who petitioned Parliament, which enacted a statute in 1474, confirming the ancient privileges of the dean and chapter. This recited the statute known as " Dignitas decani et omnium canonicorum," and alleged that they were never disturbed in the enjoyment of their privileges until the time of Michael, late arch- bishop, when, on a reference, a decision favourable to the cathedral Notes. 237 authorities was come to, notwithstanding which, the then occupant of the see had nearly destroyed their liberties, and by his hasty, wilful, and unjust proceedings, had perverted their customs. All differences were concluded, in 1514, by an agreement, which specified that the archbishop (in visiting), being received with due honour and brought respectfully to the chapter house " cum pulsatione et solemni pro- cessione," shall first visit the dean in his proper person, and demand if there be any matters peculiarly within the jurisdiction of either, requiring reform ; if any, they shall be amended by the archbishop, with the judgment of the chapter. Then, the dean having retired, the archbishop shall ask the canons present whether they have any- thing to allege against the dean, &c. Page 174. Holmpatrick. — This priory was founded before the coming of the English, by Sitricus, son of Murchard, for canons of St. Augustine, and the house was removed to a more commodious site, in 1220, by Henry de Loundres, archbishop of Dublin. Richard Brystow, men- tioned as late prior in the visitation of 1468, is not named by Archdall in his list of priors in the Monasticon. Taken in connexion with the complaint as to a chalice belonging to the house being held by people in Kilnew (presumably in pledge), it is remarkable that in the will of Thomas Horsban of Milverton, parish of Holmpatrick, 1538 {Dublin Diocese), he bequeaths a chalice, that was in pledge, zo", to the parish church of Holmpatrick. In 1366, prior Stephen was found in possession of the lands of Kylynew, Co. Meath, and, at the dissolution, 58 acres in Killenewre were granted to Fitz William. Kilnew is in the parish of Duleek abbey, and Barony of Duleek. Page 182. locum and Locom appear as surnames in some of the Christ Church Deeds, and John Locumbe was a tenant of the manor of St. Sepulchre in 1382. GLOSSARY. Bankers. — Cloths or coverings of tapestry for benches or hall seats (Fr. banquier). Blodius. — There appears to be some disparity of opinion as to whether this word should be translated blue or blood-red. The editor of the Chronicle of Evesham renders it by the former, and the editor of the Obits and Martyrology of Christ Church by the latter ; while the Chronicle of Gloucester declares it doubtful which term mav be used with greater correctness. In Parker's Glossary of Heraldry blodius is used for gules, but the terms are not synonymous, and the word may express the tincture called sanguine. Du Cange has for blodius "color cceruleus," and refers to bloius, "idem forte quod Blavius, color cceruleus." In mediaeval Inventories blodius, as a rule, stands for blue. Bord Alexander. — A textile fabric of striped silk. See p. 235. Branneys. — Brandreth, or burnderthe, an iron tripod to place over a fire, for supporting a pot or kettle. Couple. — Couple (or cople) is derived from copula, a diminutive from copa or cupa, a measure of corn. See p. 191. Crannoc.— The general measure of corn in Ireland, the exact amount of which varied from time to time, from half a quarter to two quarters. In the present Register it is only used in connexion with malt, salt, and saltpetre. See p. 211. Daker. — A daker, or dicker, of leather consisted of ten hides (Gr. Sexa = ten) " Dacra consistit ex 10 coriis." Fimble. — Fimble, or female hemp, called also summer hemp, chiefly used for domestic purposes, as spinning. See p. 223. Hanger. — That portion of the sword-belt from which the weapon hung suspended. In Hamlet, Osric uses the word, as does Bobadil in Every Man in his Humour, Glossary. 239 Hastiuell. — In the Account Roll of the Holy Trinity, Mr. Mills has made the following note on this species of grain:— "Probably a variety of barley, perhaps that known in England as hasty bere, said to have been so called from the rapidity with which it came to maturity. That this was also a characteristic of the Dublin hastiuell may be inferred from p. 64, where men seem to have been employed reaping it before the general harvest began." In cases where this grain is mentioned here, it is returned as already sown in January and Feb- ruary. Hake. — A Dutch mantle, rather in the shape of a tabard, which in the thirteenth century was made with a hood. In addition to being used as portion of female attire, the huke was also a military garment. Skelton mentions a " huke of Lyncole green." Jack. — This was a horseman's defensive upper garment, quilted and covered with strong leather. See p. 234. Jerkin. — The colobium, called also armilausa, was a garment between a cloak and a tunic. It was a coat without sleeves, called by St. Jerome "tunica saccinea et lineus saccus," which was originally in use amongst the ancients, and was worn by monks and hermits. Jupa. — This seems to have been a long garment, worn by all classes, secular and religious of both sexes ; in North Britain a short cloak for women is termed a jupe. In early times, the master of a house, when at home, wore "jupa penulata et tunica." Latten. — A hard mixed yellow metal, closely resembling brass. See p. 231. Losset. — A large flat wooden dish, a kneading trough. See p. 227. Peck. — Equivalent to the bushel in Dublin. In 1585, a peck of wheat here contained r8 gallons, 1 pottle, 1 pint. {Account Roll, Holy Trinity, p. 213.) Principal. — A money composition in lieu of the ancient mor- tuarium. See p. 193. For another application of this word, see p. 205. Say. — A delicate serge or woollen cloth. See p. 234. Sparver. — The canopy or curtains which hung tentwise from a frame over a bed. See p. 228. Stang. — The fourth part of an acre of land. 240 Glossary. Strike of wheat. — Strike was an instrument with a straight edge, for levelling a measure of grain, by scraping off what was above the level of the top. Mensura rasa was the measure of corn, smoothed with a strike, while mensura cumulata was the amount heaped, and not levelled. A strike was equivalent to two bushels. Beaumont and Fletcher have " What dowry has she ? Some two hundred bottles, and twenty strike of oats." Tartarine. — This was a kind of silk. " Two paire of curtaines of green tartarin " are mentioned in Testamenta Vetusta, and a " care cloth of russet sylke turterone " occurs in Church Accounts, 1454.. In the Glossary of the Liber Custumarum, panni tartarini are stated to have been thicker than what was known as tarsicus or cloth of Tars, being probably made of wool. In the Wardrobe Accounts, coronation of Richard the Third, tartaryn is named as a material for lining, evidently of inferior value, and the editor thinks there is reason for believing it to have been a mixture of linen and wool. The name was not improbably derived from Tartary. Trental. — A set of thirty masses for the dead (trigintalia). See p. 198. Wey. — See note, p. 203. AUTHORITIES REFERRED TO IN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES.
