INTRODUCTION. 


HE  Priory  of  All-Hallows  or  All  Saints,  which 
stood  upon  the  ground  now  occupied  by  Trinity 
College,  Dublin,  was  founded  by  Dermod  Mac 
Morough,  King  of  Leinster.  This  unhappy  prince, 
who,  among  his  many  other  crimes,  is  charged  with 
having  burned  many  churches",  was  the  founder 
of  religious  houses  in  different  parts  of  his  territories.  At  Ferns"  in 
Wexford,  in  atonement  for  having  burned  the  town,  he  founded  for 

monks 


*  Churches. — The  Four  Masters,  at  1 1 72, 
mention  the  churches  he  burned,  but  take 
no  notice  of  those  he  founded. 

**  Ferns. — Mon.  Hib.  p.  743.  To  this 
Abbey  Dermod  brought  the  guilty  De- 
vorguilla ;  and  from  its  Abbot  he  bor- 
rowed a  cloak,  in  which  he  disguised 
himself  when  he  sought  O'Brien.

luonks  of  tlic  Order  of  St.  Augustine  the  Abbey  of  St.  Mary;  at 
Bultiuglass  in  Wicklow,  lie  built  the  Cistercian  Abbey  cle  Valle

its  dependant  cells  at  Kilcleeheen'^,  in  Kilkenny,  and  Athady,  in  Car- 
low,  owed  its  origin  either  to  his  policy  or  to  his  transient  penitence. 
By  a  charter  granted  about  the  year  1 1 66,  when  he  had  succeeded 
in  taking  hostages  from  O'Carroll,  King  of  UrieP  (or  Louth,  Armagh, 
and  Monaghan),  this  prince  conferred  on  his  spiritual  father  and  con- 
fessor, Edan,  Bishop  of  Louth,  for  the  use  of  the  canons  of  the  church 
of  the  daughter  of  Zola,  the  land  called  Ballidubgailf,  with  its  men, 
that  is,  with  Mehsu  (Malise)  Macfeilecan,  his  sons  and  grandsons,  free 
and  released  from  any  procuration"  or  expedition  (to  be  rendered)  to

— Eegistrf/,  p.  50,  may  perhaps  be  translated 
Cess  and  Hosting ;  that  is,  money-payment 
and  military  service.  The  fourth  decree  of 
the  Synod  of  Cashel,  shewing  the  lay  exac- 
tions to  which  church  property  was  subject 
in  Ireland,  is  thus  translated  by  Stanyhurst 
in  the  language  of  his  time:  "  Fourthlie, 
that  all  the  church  lands  and  possessions 
throughout  all  Ireland,  shall  be  free  from 
all  secular  exactions  &  impositions :  and  es- 
peciallie  that  no  lords,  carles,  nor  noble- 
men, nor  their  children,  nor  familie,  shall 
extort  or  take  anie  coine  Sf  liverie,  co- 
sheries,  nor  cuddies,  nor  anie  other  like 
custome  from  thenseforth,  in  or  upon  anie 
of  the  church  lands  and  territories.  And 
likewise  that  they  nor  no  other  person 
doo  henseforth  exact  out  of  the  said  church 


HI 


himself  or  his  successors  in  the  government  of  Leinster  and  DiibUn 
for  ever;  and  he  charged  the  men  of  Dubhn  and  Leinster  to  maintain 
the  bishop  and  his  canons  in  the  possession  of  the  said  hind,  in  all 
liberty,  without  any  exaction  of  tithes,  as  fully  and  honourably  as 
any  college  of  canons  or  monks  in  Ireland  was  possessed  of  any 
royal  endowment. 

In  the  absence  of  authentic  and  of  historical  evidence,  if  we  are 
unwilling  to  indulge  in  vague  conjectures  or  fanciful  etymologies, 
we  must  confess  our  ignorance  of  the  church  of  the  daughter  of  Zola, 
from  which  Dermod  brought  the  canons  of  All-Hallows.  From 
whatever  church  they  were  derived,  this  priory,  if  not  from  the  first, 
adopted  very  soon  after  its  foundation  the  rule  of  St.  Augustine,  as 

reformed  and  rendered  stricter  in  the  Convent  of  Aroasia^ 

As 


lands  old  wicked  &  detestable  customes 
of  coin  Sf  liverie  which  they  were  wont  to 
extort  upon  such  towns  and  villages  of 
the  churches,  as  were  neere  and  next 
bordering  upon  them." 

These  decrees  furnish  an  instance  of  the 
weakness  of  law  against  custom.  In  the 
fourth  decree  it  is  enjoined  with  a  particu- 
larity omitted  in  Stanyhurst's  translation, 
"Quod  de  villis  Ecclesiarum  cibus  ille 
detestabilis  qui  quater  in  anno  a  vicinis 
comitibus  exigitur,  de  cetero  nullatenus 
exigatur."  Yet  in  an  Irish  Deed,  made  in 
1503,  between  the  Friars  of  Kilcormick, 
in  the  Queen's  County,  and  Theobald,  the 
son  of  Donagh,  it  is  expressed  that  the 
friars  owe  the  food  of  four  persons,  each 
quarter  of  a  j'ear,  according  to  the  custom 
of  the  country. — Miscell.  Irish  Arch.  Soc.

As  long  as  this  monastic  rule  was  fully  observed  the  canons  of 
AU-IIallows  must  have  mingled  little  in  the  affairs  of  life,  and  have 
been  little  noticed  in  public  history,  and  accordingly  we  have  been 
able  to  discover  only  few  and  indistinct  traces  of  this  house  in  the 
records  and  chronicles  of  the  time.  Still,  the  situation  of  the  priory, 
at  the  very  gate  of  Dublin,  at  the  head  of  the  level  ground  then  called 
the  Steyn,  stretching  along  the  south  bank  of  the  Liffey  to  the  sea, 
must  have  made  the  canons  spectators  at  least  of  many  great  events. 
From  this  plain'  Hasculf  and  John  le  Deue,  with  their  iron-clad 
Danes,  some  in  long  breastplates  and  some  in  iron  plates  sewn  to- 
gether, and  with  round  red  shields  edged  with  iron,  prepared  to 
assault  Dublin,

which  Strongbow  had  given  to  the  safe-keeping  of  Miles  Cogan;  and

that  Gilmeholmoc',  having  agreed  with  Cogan  to  be  "  strong  upon 
the  stronger  side,"  awaited  the  issue  of  the  contest,  ready  to  join 
the  conqueror;  and  it  was  near  this  priory,  at  the  old  Thengmote  of 
the  Danish  colonists,  at  St.  Andrew's  Church,  the  site  of  the  present

the  King,  the  Irish  princes,  for  the  first  time,  tasted  heron's  flesh, 
and  where  they  were  astonished  at  the  elegant  abundance  of  an 
English  feast,  and  the  order  and  obsequiousness  of  the  attendants. 

The  priory  was  not  without  benefit  from  this  neighbourhood  of 
royalty;  it  was  at  this  time,  that,  in  the  presence  of  Archbishop  Law- 
rence, of  the  original  patron  Bishop  Edan,  of  Strongbow,  Hugh  de 
Lacy,  Robert  Poer,  and  others,  that  Henry  II.  confirmed  the  grants 
of  Baldoyle  and  of  several  other  lands,  made  by  Dermod,  of  which 
the  original  charters  are  not  recorded.  This  preservation  of  their 
property  seems  to  have  been  a  special  favour  to  this  house.  It  might 
have  been  expected  that,  to  conciliate  the  Irish  ecclesiastics.  King 
Henry  and  his  immediate  successors  would  have  preserved  at  least 
the  landed  property'  of  the  Irish  Church,   united  by  the  Council  of 

Cashel, 


'  Landed  properly — The  property  of  the 
ancient  Irish  Church  consisted  of  other 
things  besides  lands  and  tithes.  Jocelin 
tells  us,  in  words  shewing  the  trade  and 
business  of  Dublin:  "  Statuerunt  ergo 
[cives  Dublinias]  reditum  S.  Patricio  suo 
Patrono ;  videlicet  de  singulis  navibus 
mercimoniabilibus  cappam  competentem 
Ardmachano  Primati,  aut  cadum  mellis  seu 
vini,  aut  ferri  falcem,  seu  mensuram  salis, 
de  singulis  vero  tabernis,  medonis  seu  cer- 
\'isie  metretas  singulas,  de  omnibus  etiam 
officinis  et  virgultis(  ?)  excenia  donumque 
conveniens  in  sotularibus,  chyrothecis, 
cultellis,  pectinibus  et  aliis  hujusmodi  re- 
bus."—  Vit.  S.  Patricii,  cap.  71. 

Although  the  buildings  were  destroyed 
and  the  religious  dispersed,  the  property 
of  the  Irish  Church  was  preserved  during 
all  the  troubles  consequent  on  the  Danisli 


invasion.  St. Bernard  (Vita Mcdachioe,  cap. 
V.)  says  that  from  the  destruction  of  the 
Abbey  of  Benchor  (Bangor)  by  the  Danes, 
to  the  timeof  Malachy,  its  property  fell  into 
the  hands  of  persons  who  where  appointed 
by  election,  and  who  were  called  abbots, 
"  servantes  nomine,  etsi  non  re,  quod  olim 
extiterat."  This  passage  must  have  been 
overlooked  by  Dr.  Lanigan,  when  he  al- 
lowed (vol.  iv.  p.  25)  that  Gille,  Bishop  of 
Limerick  in  mo,  and  Apostolic  Legate, 
had  been  Abbot  of  Benchor.  The  names 
of  some  of  the  abbots  thus  described  by  St. 
Bernard,  are  given  in  Archdall,  from  good 
authorities,  without  any  distinctive  marks. 
It  would  appear  from  the  following 
passage  in  the  Tripartite  Life  of  St.  Pa- 
trick, that  at  the  time  it  was  written, 
which  has  not  been  thought  to  be  later 
than    the   tenth  century,  the   custom  of

lay  exactions,  from  which  Dermod's  charter  had  exempted  the  lands 
of  Baldoyle,  yet  the  mystical  dream  of  Giraldus"  Avhen  he  saw  King 
John  marking  out  on  the  green  sward,  the  plan  of  a  cluirch  with  a 
large  aisle  for  the  laymen,  and  a  chancel  "  enormiter  arctum,"  for  the 
Irish  clergy,  his  direct  assertion  of  the  English  robbery  of  the  lands 
of  tlie  Irish  Chiu'ch,  by  wdiich  the  clergy  were  reduced  to  beggary, 
and  of  the  mutilation  of  their  old  dignities  and  privileges,  and  com- 
plaints, like  that  of  Albin°,  Bishop  of  Ferns,  against  the  Earl  ^lar- 
shall,  and  of  Archbishop  Comyn"  against  Hamo  de  Valoniis,  shew 
that  the  love  of  church  lands  commonly  prevailed  over  policy  and 
piety.  Nay,  to  the  lands  of  Baldoyle,  granted  by  Dermod  and  con- 
firmed by  Henry  II.  to  the  priory,  it  would  appear,  from  our  Regis- 
try'', that  for  several  generations  the  Lords  of  Howth  maintained  a 

claim. 


family  succession  to  churches  prevailed 
in  Ireland,  and  that  it  was  then  attributed 
to  St.  Patrick.  Fiachus  and  Enda  op- 
posed the  building  of"  a  church  at  Usneach, 
"  quos  vir  Dei  primo  benigne  allocutus 
promittebat,  si  permitterent  ecclesiam  in 
Dei  honorem  in  eo  amoeno  loco  excitari, 
ejusdem  Ecclesiaj  moderatores  c"t  rectores

— Trias  Thaum.  p.  131. 

For  the  light  in  which  such  family  suc- 
cession was  looked  on  in  the  twelfth  cen- 
tury see  Jocelini  Vita  S.  Patricii,  cap.  52.

bert  in  his  Epistle  De  Usu  Ecclesiastico 
(  Usserii  Sylloge,  xxx.)  was,   "  ut  diversi 


et  schismatici  illi  ordines,  quibus  Hiber- 
nia  pene  tota  delusa  est,  uni  Catholico  et 
Romano  cedant  officio."  The  last  decree 
of  the  Synod  of  Cashel  was,  "Itaque  om-

Dowling,  in  his  Annals,  states  that  the 
Use  of  Sarum  was  then  universally  intro- 
duced into  Ireland.  It  is  probable  that 
Malachy,  after  his  visit  to  Bishop  Malchus, 
had  adopted  the  Liturgy  then  used  at 
Winchester.

claim,  founded  probably  upon  tlie  grant  of  Ilowtli  by  King  John, 
and  that  the  canons  were  obliged  to  purchase  these  lands  twice  over, 
from  Sir  Almaric  and  his  wife  with  spiritual  benefits,  and  fruni 
Sir  Nicholas  with  forty  marks. 

In  1 182  Bishop  Edan""  renounced,  in  favour  of  John  Comyn,  the 
first  English  Archbishop  of  Dublin,  all  claim  to  the  Church  of  All 
Saints,  reserving  possession,  however,  under  the  Archbishop  and  the 
Church  of  the  Holy  Trinity,  for  his  own  life ;  and  the  patronage  of 
tliis  priory  was  confirmed  to  Archbishop  Henry  de  Loundres  in 
1216,  in  the  Bulls  of  Innocent  III.  and  Honorius  III.,  reciting  the 
several  possessions  of  the  see  of  Dublin. 

The  three  successive  Bulls  of  Urban  II.  in  1 186,  of  Gregory  IX. 
in  1234,  and  of  Innocent  V.  in  1276,  contain,  not  only  the  confir- 
mation of  a  gradual  increase  of  lands  and  churches,  but  an  increas- 
ing succession  of  Papal  privileges  and  immunities.  Urban  exempts 
from  tithes*  their  tillage  lands,  cultivated  with  their  own  hands,  or  at 
their  own  cost,  and  their  cattle.  He  allows  them  to  receive  into  their 
Order  clerics  and  laics,  provided  they  were  free'  and  absolved,  and 
to  retain  them  without  contradiction;  the  professed  brotherhood 
were  prohibited  from  migrating  to  any  other  house,  without  license 
from  the  prior,  saving  for  the  sake  of  entering  some  stricter  Order".

the  excommunicated  and  interdicted.  Without  manifest  cause  no  one 
was  to  presume  to  pronounce  against  them  sentence  of  interdict  or 
excommunication.  All  customs  and  ancient  liberties  and  immunities 
were  permanently  sanctioned.  The  enclosures  of  their  houses  and 
grano-es  were  protected  by  apostolical  authority  from  theft  and 
arson,  and  had  the  privilege  of  freedom  from  arrest.  The  election 
of  the  prior  was  secured  to  the  brotherhood.  And,  finally,  the  ce- 
metery was  declared  free,  so  that  none  should  oppose  the  interment 
therein  of  any  person,  except  he  were  excommunicated;  the  due 
rights  of  the  churches  to  which  the  bodies  belonged  being  observed. 

Such  Avere  the  principal  privileges  secured  to  the  priory  by  the 
Bull  of  Urban  II.,  given  at  Verona  by  the  hands  of  Albert,  Priest 
Cardinal  and  Chancellor  S.  R.  E.  on  the  6th  Nones  of  July,  in  the 
fourth  year  of  the  In  diction,  in  the  first  year  of  the  Pope,  and  in  the 
year  of  the  Incarnation  MCLXXXVI. 

In  1234  Gregory  IX.  added  clauses  enjoyningthe  members  of  the 
priory  to  receive  the  Chrism,  the  Holy  Oil,  and  the  consecrations  of 
their  altai's  and  churches,  and  Holy  Orders,  from  their  diocesan''

'^Diocesan. — They  probably  were  claim- 
ing total  exemption  from  episcopal  juris- 
diction, on  tlie  plea  of  their  original  in- 


dependence of  the  see  of  Dublin  in  the 
time  of  Bishop  Edan.  St.  Bernard  gave 
three  reasons  for  -wishing  to  be  Pope 
for  three  years.  First,  that  he  might 
abolish  episcopal  and  abbatial  exemp- 
tions; secondly,  that  he  might  abolish 
pluralities ;  thirdly,  that  he  might  recall 
monks  and  canons  from  cells  and  granges, 
and  confine  them  to  their  houses. — Anglia

bishop,  provided  he  were  in  the  grace  and  communion  of  the  Holy 
Roman  See,  and  at  the  same  time,  the  erection  of  new  chapels  and 
oratories  within  their  parisli,  without  their  consent,  and  that  of 
their  diocesan,  was  prohibited. 

To  these  privileges  in  1276  Innocent  V.  added  a  protection 
against  new  and  undue  exactions  by  archbishops,  bishops,  arch- 
deacons, or  deans,  and  all  other  persons,  ecclesiastical  and  secular, 
and  this  Pope  specially  noted,  that  the  Church  of  All  Saints  had  no 
abbot,  but  was  under  the  government  of  a  prior.  These  are  nearly 
the  usual  clauses  and  privileges  contained  in  Bulls  of  this  period,  and 
they  are  here  mentioned,  not  for  any  peculiarity  in  their  contents, 
but  as  specimens  of  the  exemptions  and  immunities  sought  for  by 
religious  houses  in  the  twelfth  and  thirteenth  centuries.  The  other 
Bulls  here  printed  are  short,  and  expressed  in  general  terms. 

The  superiority  over  the  Priory  of  St.  Saviour  of  Glendalough, 
one  of  the  earliest  of  the  acquisitions  of  All-Hallows,  was  one  of  the 
most  interesting;  however  great  was  the  old  sanctity  of  Glendalough, 
it  was  now  desert  and  desolate,  a  den  of  thieves  and  robbers"';  and 
the  Archbishop  of  Tuam''  bore  testimony  that,  in  the  forty  years  pre- 
vious to  1214,  more  homicides  were  committed  in  that  valley  than  in 
any  other  place  in  Ireland.  In  the  Synod  of  Mellifont  in  1 152,  which 
was  attended  b}^  Gilda  na  Naomh,  then  Bishop  of  Glendalough,  Car- 
dinal Paparo  had  divided  this  see,  and  had  assigned  part  of  it  to 
the  metropolitan  see  of  Dublin,  which,  till  that  time,  was  confined 
within  the  walls  of  the  city,  intending,  as  the  Archbishop  of  Tuam 

believed, 

bishop  within   their   monasteries,    and  of  crilege  perpetrated  at  Glendalough  during 

the   readiness   with    which  they  availed  the  abbacy  of  Archbishop' Laurence,  see

In  1 192  Earl  John^  by  a  charter  dated  at  Nottingham  on  the  Feast 
of  St.  John  the  Evangelist,  granted  to  John  Comyn  the  privilege 
of  nominating  the  Bishop  of  Glendalough,  who  was  to  be  chaplain 
and  vicar  to  the  archbishop.  He  had  previously,  when  in  Dublin^ 
granted  the  see  itself  to  Archbishop  John,  "  pro  raritate  populi  et 
paupertate  Ecclesie  Dublin;"  but  perhaps  the  insolence  of  the  Irish, 
to  use  Archbishop  Felix  O'Ruadan's  words,  may  have  deferred  the 
execution  of  this  plan,  although  it  was  confirmed  by  Matthew'',  Arch- 
bishop of  Cashel,  the  Pope's  Legate;  it  is,  however,  probable  that 
William  Pu^o,  the  last  recognized"  Bishop  of  Glendalough,  was  ap- 
pointed under  this  charter,  in  1 192,  by  Archbishop  Comyn. 

Pope  Innocent  III,  to  whom  John  had  sent  the  Archbishops  of 
Bourdeaux,  York,  and  Dublin,  as  ambassadors  for  the  purpose,  con- 
firmed the  union  of  the  sees  in  1 2 1 6,  on  condition  that,  with  part  of 
the  revenues  of  the  see  of  Glendalough,  a  religious  house  or  hos- 
pital" should  be  erected;  and  accordingly  Archbishop  Henry  de 
Loimdres  founded  near  the  Priory  of  All-Hallows,  on  the  sea-shore, 
which  was  called  the  Steyn,  an  hospital  where  pilgrims  on  their  way 
to  St.  James  of  Compostella,  who  might  be  detained  by  stress  of 
weather,  should  find  bed  and  board;  and  he  endowed  there  ten 
chaplains,  who  were  to  wear  black  cloaks  with  a  white  cross  on 
the  breast. 

While  the  old  Irish  City  of  Glendalough  in  the  mountains,  se- 
cured only  by  its  situation,  and  hallowed  by  ancient  custom,  was 
gradually  giving  way''  before  its  modern  and  Danish  rival,  the  seat  of

trade  and  foreign  intercourse,  and  while  its  bishops  of  the  succession 
of  St.  Patrick  were  supplanted  by  the  Dublin  archbishops  of  the  suc- 
cession of  St.  Augustine,  the  fate  of  its  abbeys  was  not  dissimilar.  At 
the  time  of  the  foimdation  of  the  Priory  of  All-Hallows,  Coemgin  or 
Kevin  was  Abbot  of  Glendalough,  and  his  name  appears  amongst 
the  witnesses  of  Dermod's  charter.  Having  become  vacant,  probably 
by  Coemgin's  death,  Strongbow  conferred  the  abbey  and  parsonage, 
"  Abbatia^  et  Parsonatus"  of  Glendalough,  with  all  its  great  posses- 
sions and  immunities,  as  they  were  specified  to  him  in  verho  veritatis 
by  King  Dermod,  on  his  dear  clerk  Thomas^  in  a  charter  witnessed 
by  the  Countess  Eva  and  confirmed  by  Henry  11.^ 

This  grant  was  not  long  observed.    Earl  John,  by  a  charter  dated 
at  Tewkesbury",  granted  to  the  Archbishop  of  Dublin  half  a  cantred

Earl  John's  grant  of  the  whole  Abbey  of  Glendalough,  together  with 
his  grant  of  the  bishopric. 

It  must  have  been  shortly  after  the  union  of  the  sees  of  Dublin 
and  Glendalough,  that  Archbishop  Loundres,  by  his  charter^  sub- 
jected the  Island''  of  St.  Saviour  of  Glendalough,  with  all  its  pos- 
sessions, to  the  Priory  of  All-Hallows,  enjoining  on  the  Prior  and 
Convent  of  St.  Saviour,  whom  he  by  implication  charges  with  dis- 
orderly and  irregular  conduct,  that  they  should  be  obedient  to  the 
wholesome  admonitions  of  the  priors  of  All-IiaHows;  and  the  Island 
Sancti  Salvatoris  of  Glendalough  was  confirmed  to  our  priory  by  the 
Bulls  of  Gregory  IX.  and  Innocent  V. 

Before  1186  the  priory  had  no  lands  granted  to  it,  except  those 
given  by  King  Dermod,  but  between  that  year  and  1234  it  had 
received  grants  of  the  Church  of  St.  George'  in  the  suburbs  with

the  priory  two  acres  and  a  half  of  his  land  of  Steyn  near  to  their 
house,  with  all  the  tithes  and  offerings  of  the  whole  Steyn;  and  that 
John,  son  of  John,  son  of  Dermic*,  confirmed  his  father's  grant  of  a 
boat  for  catching  salmon  and  other  fish  on  the  LifFey,  for  which  he 
was  to  receive  a  rose  on  every  St.  John  Baptist's  day,  in  the  Church 
of  All-Hallows;  and  it  was  probably  about  the  same  time  that  Clari- 
cia',  daughter  of  Gilbert,  son  of  Griffin,  granted  half  a  carucate  of 
arable  land  in  Balyofryn  next  to  the  land  of  Sir  John  Harold  of 
Kylgabane  (Kilgobbin),  with  pasture  on  the  mountains  for  as  many 
cattle  as  the  canons  chose,  with  liberty  to  pasture,  dig,  cut,  and  with 
all  other  privileges,  which  the  grantor  possessed  or  could  give. 

Such  were  the  grants  of  parishes  and  of  lauds  which  the  priory 
thought  worthy  of  Papal  confii^mation  in  the  year  1276.  In  these 
and  the  other  grants  of  the  same  period,  there  is  proof — in  the  men- 
tion of  homage,  wardships,  suits  of  court,  and  marriage — that  the 
Norman  settlers  brought  with  them  into  Ireland  all  the  complexities 
of  the  feudal  system;  a  system  eminently  fitted,  by  the  strictness 
and  frequency  of  its  legal  relations,  by  the  minute  divisions  of  its 
ever  present  authority,  by  the  nearness  of  its  administrators,  and  by 
the  variety  and  succession  of  its  dependencies,  to  discipline  a  rude 
people  by  the  introduction  of  notions  of  right  and  of  law,  and  by 
familiariziufT  them  with  leo-al  forms  and  ceremonies.  Nor,  when  we  are

severities  of  the  Feudal  system  must  have  been  much  softened  when 
it  was  administered  by  the  easy  and  formal  churchman,  connected  by 
blood  more  frequently  with  the  middle  ranks  than  with  the  nobles 
of  the  land. 

Perhaps  the  most  startling  grant  in  this  collection  is  the  con- 
cession and  donation  by  Kichard  de  Pheypo",  of  certain  serfs,  with  all 
the  issue  and  progeny  of  their  sept.  From  the  name  Mackelegan, 
and  from  their  being  said  to  be  of  Balydugyl,  it  is  likely  that  these 
men  were  the  descendants  of  the  Mehsu  Macfeilecan,  of  Balydub- 
gil,  who,  with  his  descendants,  was  granted  to  the  priory  in  King 
Dermod's  charter.  They  are  here  given  separate  from  the  land,  and  as 
pure  serfs  or  "  villeins'"  in  gross,"  not  as  neoyffs"',  betaghs,  or  ascripti 
(jlehce.  The  difference  between  these  forms  of  villeinage  was  con- 
siderable; the  betagh  or  native  was  an  occupier  of  the  land,  bound 
to  the  performance  of  certain  offices  connected  with  land;  he  was 
bound  to  the  land  and  granted  with  it ;  he  was  obliged  to  bear  tal- 
liage'',  high  and  low,  at  the  will  of  the  lord;  his  right  to  dispose  by 
will  of  his  chatell  property  was  denied  in  the  King's  Courts;  and 
even  were  he  to  raise  himself  to  the  rank  of  a  citizen  of  Dublin, 
any  landed  property  which  he  acquired  was  Hable  to  be  seized 
upon  by  the  lord.  In  this  form  villeinage  existed  in  Ireland  to  the

the  condition  in  the  grant  of  forty  shillings  of  annual  rent  in  Manh- 
thonin,  in  the  tenement  of  Arclo^  that  it  should  be  exchanged  for 
equal  charge  on  land  nearer  to  Dublin,  are  worthy  of  observation. 

These  grants  were  in  pure  alms  "pro  salute  animarum,"  or  the 
rent  was  only  nominal  and  illusory,  a  rose,  or  a  pair  of  spurs,  or  a 
pound  of  pepper;  but  a  change  now  took  place.  The  fervour  of  re- 
ligious zeal,  which  the  monks  and  canons  had  diverted  to  themselves, 
from  older  and  now  almost  forgotten  institutions,  was  directed 
towards  the  Mendicant  Orders  in  the  thirteenth  century,  and  the 
followers  of  St.  Benedict  and  St.  Augustine  gave  way  to  those  of  St. 
Francis  and  St.  Dominick. 

The  subsequent  grants  then  were  of  a  different  kind,  and  were 
more  in  the  nature  of  sales  or  of  perpetual  leases.  Of  these  one  of 
the  earhest  and  most  interesting  is  that  of  Waleran*"  de  Welleslegh, 
who  grants  fifty  acres  in  his  tenement  of  Crewath,  with  the  lordship 
and  feudal  service  of  the  ten  acres  held  by  John  Wodeloc'',  together

In  the  charters  and  deeds  relating  to  the  property  of  the  priory 
within  the  city  or  suburbs  of  Dublin,  there  are  many  things  to  at- 
tract the  notice  of  the  local  antiquary,  and  who  is  not  a  local  anti- 
quary in  his  own  neighbourhood?  The  very  names  of  the  streets  are 
not  without  interest  and  simificance;  Rochelle-street  tells  of  foreign

The  times  were  now  coming  when  the  lands  in  tlie  immediate 
neighbourhood  of  Dublin,  although  not  the  most  extensive,  would  be 
the  most  valuable  possessions  of  the  priory.  With  short-sighted 
policy',  Edward  the  First  had  wasted  the  flower  of  the  Anglo-Irish 
nobles  in  the  wars  of  Gascony  and  Scotland,  while,  with  unusual 
weakness,  to  secure  their  favour,  he  had  resisted  his  own  wish  to 
consolidate  his  power  in  Ireland,  and  to  attach  the  natives  to  his 
(Tovernment  by  extending  over  all  the  protection  and  the  authority  of 
Eno-lish  law,  and  by  abrogating  altogether  those  Irish  customs,  which 
were  stiU  recognized  in  his  courts.  It  is  not  strange  then,  that  the 
natives,  who  had  in  vain  sought  the  shelter  of  the  throne  from  the 
oppression  of  their  petty  tyrants,  should  have  taken  advantage  of 
the  misfortimes  of  Edward  II.  and  should  have  been  encouraged  to 
resistance  by  the  success  of  the  Scots.  Nor  is  it  strange  that,  having 
no  one  great  man  to  guide  them,  and  no  principle  of  union  to  raise 
their  discordant  septs  to  the  feeling  of  national  independence,  they 
should  have  satisfied  at  once  their  vengeance  and  their  cupidity  by 
predatory  attacks  on  the  property  of  the  English,  l^y  burning  their 
liomesteads,  by  driving  away  their  cattle,  and  finally  by  entering  into 
possession  of  the  lands,  which  they  had  made  worthless  to  the  occu- 
piers. In  this  general  lawlessness,  the  priory  must  have  found  great 
difliculty  in  establishing  its  rights  in  its  remoter  estates;  as  early  as 
I  305,  we  find  the  prior  complaining  of  a  rescue  of  distresses  which 
had  been  made  in  the  fee  of  TipperaryJ,  and  in  13 18''  he  was  par-

cloned  a  line,  on  the  grounds  of  poverty,  a  plea  again  used  for  the 
like  purpose  in  1396;  and  in  i423\  according  to  the  statement  of  the 
Canons,  confirmed  by  Archbishop  Talbot,  the  priory  was  reduced  to 
such  a  state  of  misery"',  by  the  ruhi  of  its  buildings,  by  the  unjust 
and  hostile  occupation  of  its  lands,  by  the  unfruitfulness  of  the 
seasons,  by  the  mortality  of  men  and  cattle,  and  by  the  number  of 
strangers,  and  other  oppressions,  that  their  remaining  goods  were 
scarcely  sufficient  to  support  the  prior  and  the  convent,  so  that  Di- 
vine worship,  the  observance  of  the  rule,  and  other  works  of  piety, 
could  no  lona:er  be  maintained  without  the  relaxation  of  two  marks 
of  the  six  payable  to  the  archbishop  for  proxies. 

In  1374  the  prior  was  summoned  to  Parliament".     It  was  in 
1380,  when  the  priory  was  smarting  from  loss  of  property  and  sinking

all  persons  whatsoever,  those  alone  ex-

*"  Misery In  these  circumstances  the 

leases  of  the  property  in  the  city  and 
suburbs  of  Dublin,  where  rents  could  al- 
ways be  collected,  were  carefully  regis- 
tered and  preserved,  and  clauses  of  various 
kinds  were  inserted  in  them.  In  some  it 
was  conditioned  that  if  the  lessee  wished 
to  sell  the  lands  demised,  or  to  put  them 
in  pawn,  the  first  offer  was  to  be  made  to 
the  priory.  In  one  for  forty  years,  provi- 
ded the  tenant's  life  should  last  so  long,  a 
power  was  granted  to  the  tenant  to  take 


away  any  trees  he  might  plant  on  any  land 
reclaimed  by  him  from  a  mill-pond.  In 
another,  right  of  re-entry  is  secured  on 
the  rent  being  one  month  in  arrear.  In 
another,  right  of  seizure  for  rent  was 
given  on  another  tenement,  if  sufficient 
distress  was  not  found  on  the  premises. 
In  most  of  them  the  tenant  is  bound  to 
repair  the  buildings,  and  to  deliver  them 
up  "  stiff  and  staunch"  at  the  end  of  his 
term.  In  one  the  rent  was  reduced  one- 
half  for  forty  years,  in  consideration  of 
the  expenses  of  the  tenant  in  repairs  and 
buildings.  We  have  also  the  purchase,  or 
perhaps  the  repurchase,  by  the  priory  of 
the  remaining  portion  of  a  lease  of  forty 
acres  at  Donnybroke,  of  which  some  years 
had  expired.— Nos.  XXIII.  IV.  VIII.

into  poverty"  from  tlio  incursions  of  the  natives,  that  it  received  the 
writ''  of  Ricliard  II.  ordering  the  observance  of  the  enactment  in  the 
Statute  of  Kilkenny,  that  no  Irishman,  or  any  enemy  of  the  king, 
should  be  admitted  into  any  rehgious  house  within  the  land  of  Ire- 
land. Recourse  had  often  been  had  before,  by  both  sides,  to  this 
unliappy  proof  of  national  discord.  So  early  as  1250  Pope  Innocent 
IV.''  sent  a  Bull  to  the  Irish  bishops,  ordering  them  to  revoke  a 
Statute  wliich  they  had  made,  "  ex  quodam  livore,"  that  no  English- 
man should  be  received  into  their  religious  houses  as  a  canon:  and 
while  the  Irish  Abbot  of  Mellifont''  refused  to  admit  any  monk  unless 
lie  made  oath  that  he  was  not  of  English  descent,  and  the  Irish 
Abbot  of  Magio'  [Mayo]  alienated  the  lands  of  his  abbey  with  a  view 
to  prevent  English  monks  from  dwelling  there,  the  English  monks  of 
Granard'  and  of  Iniscourcy,  of  the  same  Order  (they  were  all  Cis- 
tercians), buckled  on  their  armour  and  attacked  and  killed  the  Irish, 
and  then  returned  to  celebrate  Mass. 

The  writ  of  Richard  II.  was  directed  to  twenty-one  religious 
houses;  altliough  not  repealed  by  authority,  it  was  not  long  observed; 
like  many  other  laws  it  was  silently  reversed  when  the  passion  in 
which  it  originated  had  given  place  to  the  common  feelings  of  hu- 
manity. The  names  of  some  of  the  subsequent  abbots  in  these 
liouses  are  purely"  Irish.

At  one  time,  in  this  period  of  its  depression,  the  priory  en- 
joyed a  gleam  of  hope  ;  during  King  Richard's  "noble  voyage,"  when 
the  northern  lords'',  laying  aside  their  girdles,  skeins,  and  caps,  had 
fallen  on  their  knees  at  his  I'eet,  and  done  homage,  and  sworn  fealty 
to  the  King  at  Drogheda  ;  and  when  the  Leinster  lords"  had  re- 
ceived the  kiss  of  peace  from  the  Earl  Marshall;  at  that  time  the 
priory  paid  forty  shillings  into  the  Hanaper  for  a  charter^  dated  at 
Kilkenny,  5th  April,  1395.  In  this  charter  not  only  was  the  charter 
of  Henry  II.  recited  and  confirmed,  but  also  the  title  of  the  canons 
was  confirmed  in  all  their  possessions,  notwithstanding  the  alleged  loss 
and  burning  of  their  muniments,  and  in  addition,  liberty  was  granted 
to  them  notwithstanding  the  Statute  of  Mortmain,  to  acquire  lands 
and  advowsons  to  the  annual  value  of  twenty  pounds. 

In  the  scarcity  of  facts  indicative  of  the  personal  characters  and 
conduct  of  the  members  of  this  house,  we  transcribe  the  following 
notices  of  charges  brought  against  two  of  our  priors,  quoted  in  the 
Monasticon  Hibernicum,  from  Archbishop  King's  manuscripts. 

"  13 19.  Richard  of  Exeter,  Chief  Justice  of  the  Common  Bench,  made  a 
complaint  against  the  prior,  that  he,  the  said  Richard,  had  given  into  his  cus- 
tody a  crane^,  safely  to  keep  for  him  till  he  should  call  for  it,  but  that  the 
prior,  through  malice  prepense,  suffered  it  to  escape,  to  the  loss  and  damage  of

sixty  shillings  to  tlie  said  Richard;  he,  therefore,  brought  his  action  to  recover 
the  said  damage.  The  prior  appeared,  and  confessed  that  the  bird  had  escaped 
out  of  his  custody ;  on  this  acknowledgment,  at  the  request  of  the  Chief  Justice, 
the  Judge  pardoned  the  prior." 

"In  1396  William  Reve  was  prior;  for  Richard  Norreys,  one  of  the 
canons  of  this  priory,  being  accused  of  divers  felonies,  and  thereupon  confined 
in  the  marshalsca,  the  said  prior  came  into  court  and  did  openly  and  publicly 
make  use  of  injurious  and  unbecoming  expressions  to  Stephen  Bray,  the  Chief 
Justice,  though  admonished  to  the  contrary;  he  was  thereupon  committed  to 
the  custody  of  the  marshal ;  but  the  coiut  taking  into  their  consideration,  that 
the  said  prior  was  not  of  sound  mind,  and  compassionating  his  weakness,  and 
the  exility  both  of  him  and  the  priory,  he  was  pardoned  on  paying  a  fine  of 
thirteen  shillings  and  fourpence." 

We  may  also  mention  here  that  in  13 10,  Philip  de  Braibrocks, 
canon  of  the  church  of  the  Holy  Trinity,  was  confined  here,  for  he- 
resy, by  sentence  of  Richard,  Archbishop  elect  of  Dublin,  for  one  year. 

In  the  reigns  of  Henry  IV.,  V.,  and  VI.,  the  only  deeds  we  have 
found  relative  to  our  priory,  are  some  leases  of  tenements  in  Dublin, 
and  the  King's  pardon  granted  in  1416,  by  Thomas,  Archbishop  of 
Dul^lin,  deputy  of  Sir  John  Talbot  of  Halomshire,  Lieutenant  of 
Ireland,  to  the  prior  and  convent,  of  all  intrusions,  abatements,  &c., 
in  Dublin,  Donaghbroke,  Baldoyle,  Donaghkarny,  Ballycollane,  and 
Kenturke,  and  elsewhere  in  Ireland,  and  the  confirmation  of  their 
title  therein.  There  is  also,  bearing  the  date  of  June  2,  1460,  the 
return  of  Lawrence,  Archdeacon  of  Ferns,  to  a  mandate  from  John 
Purcell,  bishop  of  that  see,  ordering  an  inquiry  respecting  the 
avoidance  and  presentation  to  the  parish  of  Rathmackne.  From 
this  it  appears  that  the  archdeacon  held  a  court  of  inquiry  composed 
of  nineteen  persons,  most  of  whom  were  rectors  and  vicars  in  the 
neighbourhood,  in  the  church  of  St.  Nicholas  of  Clomen,  "  in  pleno 
loci  capitulo,"  who,  on  their  oaths,  made  a  return,  in  which  the  fol- 
lounng  articles  are  not  without  interest,  as  throwing  light  on  the 

state 


XXlll 


state  of  the  cluirch:  they  found  that  the  Prior  and  Convent  of  All 
Hallows  were  the  true  patrons,  and  had  presented  on  the  last  vacancy, 
that  the  vicarage  was  not  litigious  or  pensionary,  but  portionary; 
that  is,  the  patrons  had  the  first  portion  of  all  fruits,  profits,  sheaves, 
tithes,  offerings,  lands,  altarages,  and  other  things  belonging  to  the 
foresaid  Church  of  St.  Martin  of  Rathmackne ;  and  the  vicar  had 
the  other  half  of  the  same.  That  the  clerk  presented  by  the  prior 
was  not  of  honest  condition  of  life  and  conversation,  or  fit,  in  science 
and  manners,  that  he  was  guilty  of  perjury,  inasmuch  as  he  took  his 
oath  before  the  archdeacon,  when  about  to  be  ordained,  that  he 
would  keep  a  grammar  school  for  the  next  three  years,  which  oath 
he  did  not  keep;  and  that,  having  been  suspended  by  his  ordinary, 
he  notwithstanding  performed  Divine  Service,  and  that,  therefore, 
the  patron  having  presented  an  unfit  clerk,  the  vicarage  had  de- 
volved, pro  hac  vice,  to  the  collation  of  the  Ordinary. 

In  1468  a  visitation  of  tlie  priory  was  held  by  R.  Warenn,  official 
of  Archbishop  Tregury.  Prior  William  Stewnot  and  Richard  Cristor 
(Christopher)  sub-prior,  and  four  canons,  attended,  and  as  far  as  we 
can  judge  from  the  imperfect  abstract  in  Archbishop  Tregury's  Regis- 
try, no  cause  of  complaint  appeared  against  any  member  of  the  body. 

The  success  of  Edward  IV.  must  have  excited  hopes  of  royal 
favour  in  the  prior  and  canons  of  All  Hallows :  claiming,  as  the  heir 
of  the  De  Burghs,  Ulster  and  Connaught,  and  possessed  in  the  right 
of  the  Mortimers  of  the  liberty  of  Meath,  this  Prince  must  have  felt  a 
personal  interest  in  the  country;  his  father  had  resided  in  it  for  some 
time  and  had  not  only  won  the  hearts  of  the  great  lords  of  Meath, 
whose  fidelity  to  the  supposed  blood  of  their  hereditary  feudal  lord 
was  shewn  at  the  battle  of  Stoke,  but  had  gained  also  the  support  of 
the  great  family  of  the  Geraldines,  the  ancient  benefactors  of  the 
priory.  The  only  privileges,  however,  granted  in  this  reign  are  con- 
tained in  the  unprinted  Acts  of  Parliament  of  1472  and  1474-     ^Y

l)y  the  king's  admirals  of  Ireland  and  their  deputies,  according  to  the  law  of 
Ulron*,  who  daily  levy  inordinate  amercements  on  them,  against  all  law  and 
conscience,  to  the  great  damage  of  said  prior  and  convent,  and  the  utter  un- 
doeing  of  said  tenants  &  inhabitants  ;  it  is  enacted  that  said  prior  &  his 
successors  shall,  for  the  time  to  come,  he  admirals  of  said  town  and  all  other 
tlieir  lands  in  Ireland,  and  shall  enjoy  the  said  office  of  admirals  to  them  & 
their  assigns  &  deputies,  without  any  molestation  or  impediment  from  the 
king,  his  heirs  or  successors,  officers  or  ministers,  &  that  no  other  admiral 
of  the  king  or  his  deputy  shall  vex  or  trouble  any  of  the  said  tenants  &  in- 
habitants, by  virtue  of  their  office,  in  time  to  come,  &  whoever  of  them  acts  to 
the  contrary  shall  forfeit  £io,  hah"  to  the  king  and  half  to  the  party  grieved." 

These  were  great  and  valuable  privileges,  shewing  the  power  of 
this  house  and  the  personal  influence  of  the  Prior,  William  Stewnot, 
who  in  this  year  was  joined  in  commission  with  the  Archbishop  of 
Dublin,  and  Earl  of  Kildare  and  others,  to  attend  the  Iving  on  par- 
ticular affiiirs  relative  to  the  public  interest.

year  1474,  passed  in  a  Parliament  held  in  Dublin,  reciting,  that 
Richard,  Abbot  of  St.  Thomas,  near  Dublin,  and  William,  Prior  of 
All  Saints,  near  Dublin,  and  their  convents,  had  much  lands  within 
the  habitation  of  the  Irish  enemies,  and  enacting  that  they  might 
send  and  carry,  as  well  victuals  as  other  necessaries,  to  the  said  Irish, 
and  might  let  to  farm  and  sell  the  profits  of  their  possessions  to  them, 
as  often  as  they  pleased,  and  might  treat  and  be  conversant  with  them, 
as  well  in  war  as  in  peace,  and  that  they  might  be  godfathers  to  such, 
without  any  offence  or  breach  of  law".  In  fact  the  lands  situated 
beyond  the  English  marches  were  either  to  be  given  up  altogether, 
or  were  to  be  maintained  by  friendly  dealings  with  those,  who  were 
styled  in  parliamentary  language,  Irish  enemies  ;  that  such  dealings 
were  frequent,  even  in  time  of  war,  chiefly  through  the  intervention 
of  these  great  religious  corporations,  is  proved  by  many  existing  re- 
cords, and,  were  there  no  existing  evidence,  might  be  inferred  from 
the  nature  of  the  case ;  but  as  such  dealings  were  contrary  to  law, 
they  subjected  the  English  party  to  heavy  penalties,  and  this  Act  of 
Sanction  obtained  from  Parliament  protected  the  Plouse  from  the 
necessity  of  suing  out  a  license  from  the  Lieutenant,  and  from  the 
legal  extortion  of  informers  and  officials. 

In  the  want  of  common  inns",  it  was  in  religious  houses,  and  at 
their  expense,  that  the  King's  Deputy  and  bis  officers,  and  also  Irish- 
men and  others  resorting  to  him,  were  most  commonly  lodged.  All 
Hallows  was  not  backward  in  complying  with  this  laudable  custom  ; 
and  such  is  the  meagreness  of  our  information  respecting  our  Priory, 
after  the  termination  of  the  Registry  in  the  middle  of  the  fifteenth 
century,  that  we  are  tempted  to  mention,  that  on  the  23rd  of  July,

1488,  Sir  Richard  Edgcomb*",  who  had  been  sent  to  Ireland  as  the 
Kinir's  Commissioner,  after  the  general  declaration  of  the  Anglo-Irish 
in  favour  of  Lambert  Simnel,  had.  an  interview  with  the  Earl  of 
Kildare,  at  a  place  of  Canons  called  All  Hallows,  without  Dublin, 
and  there  had  long  communication  witli  him  and  his  Council,  and 
that  dav,  at  after  dinner,  the  said  Sir  Richard  rode  to  Drogheda, 
twenty-fovu'  miles  thence;  and  the  same  parties  had  another  confe- 
rence at  All  Hallows,  on  the  29tli  of  the  same  month. 

In  1490,  in  a  Parliament  held  at  Drogheda,  and  thence  adjourned 
to  Dublin,  before  Gerald  Earl  of  Kildare,  deputy  to  Jaspar  Duke  of 
Bedford,  Lieutenant  of  Ireland,  Prior  William  (probably  through  the 
influence  of  the  Deputy,  the  hereditary  friend  of  All  Llallows),  ob- 
tained a  privilege,  indicating  the  unhappy  circumstances  of  the  country. 
Stating**  that  his  convent  was  grievously  charged  with  diverse  sub- 
sidies, taxes,  talliages,  and  grants,  made  as  well  by  authority  of  Par- 
liament as  by  that  of  the  Great  Council,  and  also  with  other  impo- 
sitions laid  upon  them  for  great  and  little  hostings  ("  grand  jornaiez 
et  petuz"),  he  obtained  an  Act,  exempting  him  and  his  house  for 
ever  and  their  possessions  in  every  county,  barony,  and  deanery  in 
Ireland,  from  all  subsidies,  taxes,  talliages,  and  from  all  impositions 
granted  to  the  King,  or  to  any  governor  of  the  land,  on  the  payment 
of  1 3.9.  4d.  to  be  levied  from  the  lands  of  Baldoyle,  by  the  collector 
of  the  deanery  of  Swords.  By  this  Act^  were  also  confirmed  all 
grants  made  to  All  Hallows  by  Edward  IV.,  any  Act  or  ordinance 

made  or  to  be  made  notwithstanding.

The  attention  of  Henry  VII.  was  at  last  directed  to  the  state  of* 
Ireland,  by  the  countenance  shewn  by  the  Yorkist  party  to  the  two 
Pretenders,  Simnel  and  Warbeck.  For  the  encouragement  of  his 
loyal  subjects  he  granted  eight  rnarks^  yearly  to  the  guild  in  the 
chapel  of  St.  George  the  Martyr,  in  Dublin,  an  old  Lancastrian 
foundation.  In  1506,  the  masters^  and  wardens  of  the  guild  cove- 
nanted to  pay  Prior  Nicholas,  and  the  convent  of  All  Saints,  the  sum 
of  four  marks  yearly,  "  for  the  sustentacion  and  wages  of  a  honnest 
chapleyn  to  say  masse  and  other  divine  service  in  the  said  chapell, 
in  Sundaies  and  Feasts  and  thrice  by  weeke,  that  is  to  say,  Wednes- 
day, Fryday,  and  Saturday,  wekely  and  yearley,"  as  long  as  the  royal 
grant  of  eight  marks  should  continue. 

In  the  next  year  (1507)  we  find  the  last  grant  made  to  this 
house,  of  which  we  have  any  notice.  Margaret  White*",  in  her  pui^e 
widowhood,  surrendered  to  the  King,  for  the  use  of  the  Prior  and 
convent  of  All  Saints,  her  lands  and  tenements  in  Calganiston,  in 
the  barony  of  Newcastell,  County  Dublin.  This  was  the  only'  lord- 
ship which  the  "  Kyng  had  in  all  Ireland  in  possession  of  thinheri- 
taunce  of  the  Crowne,"  and  it  was  specified  that  the  lands  of  Calgan- 
iston were  to  be  held  according  to  the  uniform  and  laudable  custom 
of  that  manor. 

In  1534,  the  Prior  was  bound  to  send  two  able  gunners^  or 
archers  to  the  hosting.  On  the  ist  day  of  March,  1537,  Walter 
Hankoke,  the  last  Prior  of  this  ancient  foundation,  granted  a  lease""  of 
a  farm  at  Ballycollane\  to  William  Baly,  and  Isabel  his  wife,  for 

thirty-

tliirty-one  years,  at  the  rent  of  four  marks.  The  tenant  being  also 
bound  to  furnish  a  wache  hen  and  a  goose  at  Christmas,  all  her- 
thyeles  (a  word  we  cannot  explain),  a  custom  day  to  draw  turf  to 
the  Abbey,  and  to  free  the  ditches  of  his  portion  of  the  town. 

It  was  also  convenanted,  that  if  the  half-year's  rent  were  two 
months  in  arrear,  the  Prior  was  to  have  a  right  of  distress,  and  if  no 
lawful  distress  was  therein,  then  the  lessor  was  to  repossess  the  lands. 
The  tenants  were  bound  to  keep  the  messuage  and  appurtenances 
stiflf  and  staunch  at  their  own  proper  costs  and  expence  ,  and  were 
not  to  alien  or  sell  any  part  of  the  premisses  without  the  consent  of 
the  Prior,  under  pain  of  forfeiture  of  the  lease  ;  and  if  the  tenants 
died  during  the  term,  without  lawful  issue,  the  lands  were  to  revert 
to  the  Prior  and  Convent,  and  any  com  which  might  be  growing  on 
the  lands  at  the  termination  of  the  lease,  was  to  be  the  property  of 
the  tenant. 

These  are  interesting  covenants  in  the  earliest  lease  in  Endish  of 
lands  in  Ireland,  with  which  we  are  acquainted,  and  tliey  give  no 
sign  of  any  apprehension  of  the  impending  ruin  of  the  Priory;  yet, 
within  less  than  two  years  of  the  date  of  this  lease,  the  chapter-house 

in 

to  these  lands  was  disputed  by  the  Crown  tion,  on   the  Monday  before  the  Feast  of

quence  of  an  inquisition  taken  before  Sir  observed,  and  that  the  heir  of  Sytrick  was 

Thomas    Clifford,  Escheator    of  Ireland,  an  Irishman,  and  an  enemy  to  the  King, 

which  found  that  a  certain  Sytrick  Mak-  It  was  subsequently  found  by  a  jury,  that

in  wliich  it  was  executed  witnessed  a  very  different  scene.  There, 
on  the  1 6th  November,  1538,  in  the  presence  of  sundry  persons,  in  a 
deed  giving  proof  of  the  compulsion  under  which  it  was  executed 
by  the  vehemence  of  the  declarations  of  their  free  will,  Walter 
Hancoke,  Prior,  Robert  Dolyng,  John  Grogan,  James  Blake,  and  John 
Barret,  the  last  Prior  and  the  last  Canons  of  All  Hallows,  assembled 
for  the  last  time,  and  there  signed,  sealed,  and  delivered,  to  the 
Royal  Commissioners,  William  Brabazon,  Gerald  Ailmer,  John  Allen, 
and  Robert  Fitzsimon,  all  hungry  for  monastic  spoil,  the  surrender 
of  their  ancient  priory.  The  form  of  surrender  then  executed 
omitted  no  property  which  could  belong  to  the  house.  It  specified 
the  scite,  ambit,  and  precinct,  the  whole  church,  belfry,  and  ceme- 
tery, all  manors,  messuages,  lands,  tenements,  rents,  reversions, 
and  services,  mills,  meadows  and  pastures,  woods  and  underwoods, 
houses,  buildings,  granges,  granaries,  stables  and  dovecots,  fisheries, 
warrens,  annuities,  waters,  ponds,  rectories,  vicarages,  knights'  fees, 
advowsons  of  churches,  chapels,  and  chantries,  pensions,  porcions, 
tithes,  oblations,  courts  leet,  and  of  frank  pledge,  and  their  profits  and 
perquisites,  and  all  other  rights,  possessions,  and  hereditaments,  as 
well  spiritual  as  temporal,  in  the  counties  of  Dublin,  Meath,  Kildare, 
Louth,  Tipperary,  Kilkenny,  and  elsewhere  in  Ireland,  belonging  in 
any  way  to  the  Prior  and  Canons  of  All  Hallows.  Nor  were  these 
all.  There  were  added  their  charters,  evidences,  writings  and  ma- 
nuscripts, their  goods,  chattels,  utensils,  ornaments,  jewels,  and  debts, 
all  these  were  granted  to  the  King,  to  be  disposed  of  at  his  good 
pleasure,  without  appeal  or  complaint,  and  the  unhappy  men  were 
forced  to  declare,  that  they  thus  deprived  themselves  of  house  and 
home  of  their  own  free  will,  and  that  they  put  an  end  to  a  venera- 
ble institution,  to  which  they  were  bound  by  the  most  solemn  obli- 
gations, certain  just  and  reasonable  causes  thereto  moving  their 
minds  and  their  consciences. 

The

The  loyalty  of  the  citizens  of  Dublin  during  the  siege  of  Thomas 
Fitzgerald  equalling  in  courage,  if  not  equalling  in  the  importance 
of  its  results,  the  defence  of  their  predecessors  against  the  attack 
of  Robert  and  Edward  Bruce,  was  rewarded  with  the  spoils  of 
All  Hallows.  On  the  4th  of  February,  1539,  the  King  granted  to 
the  Mayor,  Bailiffs,  citizens,  and  commons  of  Dublin,  the  Priory,  with 
all  its  lands  and  advowsons,  as  they  had  been  surrendered  by  Prior 
Hancoke,  for  the  annual  payment  of  £4.  45.  off/.,  as  the  twentieth 
part  of  the  value. 

This  noble  grant  was  not  long  held  by  the  Corporation  in  their 
own  hands.  On  7th  of  August,  1539,  they  leased""  the  whole  of  it 
for  six  years,  to  Nicholas  Stanyhurst,  of  Dublin,  gentleman,  and  to 
Walter  Forester,  of  the  same,  clerk,  at  the  rent  of  five  score  pounds 
sterling. 

The  work  of  demolition  was  now  going  on.  In  this  lease,  although 
Stanyhurst  was  bound  to  keep  up  and  repair  the  Byrtas  and  gate- 
house next  the  Hogge's-green,  the  stone  walls,  porter's  loge,  and  leaves 
of  the  same  gate,  and  to  uphold  the  roof  thereof,  it  was  covenanted, 
that  the  tenants  should  make  no  claim  to  the  stone  work,  stone  walls, 
towers,  slates,  and  timber,  "  that  is  at  this  present  day  there  unsold 
within  the  precinct  of  the  said  House  of  All  Saints,"  and  that  it  should  be 
lawful  to  the  Corporation  to  dispose  of  them,  and  to  convey  them  away. 

Mr.  D' Alton  mentions  an  inquisition  of  1548,  by  which  All  Hal- 
lows was  found  to  have  been  seized  of  the  nunnery  or  cell  of  Lusk, 
which,  having  been  appropriated  to  the  Priory,  was  afterwards  trans- 
ferred to  Grace  Dieu. — Hist,  of  Co.  of  Dublin,  420-42-?.

The  fate  of  the  site  of  this  Priory  has  been  happier  than  that  of 
most  other  religious  houses.  In  1592,  on  the  21st  day  of  July,  it  was 
made  over  by  Thomas  Smythe,  Mayor  of  Dublin,  George  Kennedy 
and  Jolni  Milles,  Slierifls,  the  commons  and  citizens  of  the  city,  to 
Adam  Loftus,  Archbishop  of  Dublin,  Chancellor  of  Ireland,  Provost 
of  the  College  of  the  Holy  and  Undivided  Trinity,  near  Dublin, 
founded  by  Queen  Elizabeth,  and  to  the  Fellows  and  Scholars  of  the 
said  College,  for  their  use  and  that  of  their  successors  for  ever.  The 
old  buildings,  if  any  still  remained,  were  speedily  demolished,  except 
the  steeple ;  and  a  college,  the  forerunner  of  that  noble  building,  to 
which  so  many  now  look  with  filial  affection,  was  erected  in  their 
place.  It  was  seven  hundred  years  ago  dedicated  to  God,  and  it  is 
still  intended  for  his  service. — May  it  be  so  always  !

After  the  dissolution  of  the  Priory  of  All  Hallows,  it  may  be 
presmned  that,  with  the  other  muniments  of  the  house,  and  with  the 
lands  to  which  they  related,  the  Registry  here  printed  was  transferred 
to  the  Corporation*'  of  Dublin ;  and  accordingly  we  find  that,  when 
Sir  James  Ware's  extracts  from  it  were  made,  it  was  "  in  the  trea- 
sory  of  the  citie"^  How  or  when  the  Registry  fell  into  private 
hands  does  not  appear,  but  we  know  that  at  one  time  it  belonged  to 
Dudley  Loftus,  LL.D.*,  who  was  appointed  temporarius  sub-rector  of 
the  University  of  Dublin  in  1641'.     Loftus  was  connected,  through

BuIIee  Romanaj  de  ecclesiis  Dubliniensibus, 
seu  Regestum  coenobii  Omnium  Sancto- 
rum juxta  Dublinium.  MSS.  D.  Dudl.

'  Dr.  Loftus  died  in  1695.     He  was  a

the  family  of  Molyneux,  with  Dr.  John  Madden",  in  wliose  collection 
of  manuscripts  our  Registry  was  probably  contained,  when  tliat  col- 
lection was  purchased  by  the  learned  and  munificent  Bishop  Stearne''; 
(to  the  Irish  antiquary  it  is  pleasant  to  connect"'  these  names.)  Bishop 
Stearne  bequeathed  his  manuscripts  to  the  Library  of  Trinity  College, 
and  there,  on  the  site  of  the  old  Priory,  the  Registry'^  of  All  Hallows 
is  safely  deposited. 

The  manuscript  is  on  vellum,  and  consists  of  sixty-three  leaves, 
each  9^;  inches  in  length,  by  4^  in  breadth,  with  margins  about  an 
inch  broad;  a  full  page  contains  about  twenty-eight  lines.  The  titles 
of  the  Bulls  and  other  documents  are  in  Rubric.  Although  now 
nearly  illegible,  from  the  fading  of  the  ink,  it  is  written  in  a  neat  and 
uniform  hand  of  the  fifteenth  century,  and  was  compiled  between  the 
year  1425 — the  latest  date  mentioned  in  any  of  the  charters^ — and 
the  year  1460,  the  date  of  the  return  made  by  the  Archdeacon  of 
Ferns  to  the  mandate  of  the  bishop  of  that  diocese,  respecting  a  pre- 
sentation to  the  vicarage  of  Rathmackne^  which  is  written  in  a  more 
recent  hand,  on  the  back  of  folio  3.  That  the  volume  is  now  nearly 
as  perfect  as  it  was  three  centuries  ago  appears  from  the  following 
memorandum  on  the  back  of  folio  41 :  "  Iste  liber  continet  sexaginta

rum quinquaglnta  novem  sunt  scripta"'*.  Four  of  the  leaves  "  non 
scripta"  remain",  so  that,  with  the  exception  of  two  leaves  at  the  end, 
whicli  are  now  wanting,  the  manuscript  is  as  perfect  as  it  was  in 

1553'- 

Before  that  time,  however,  the  first  sixteen  leaves  of  the  original 

manuscript  were  lost,  for  there  are  still  visible  on  many  of  the  leaves 
the  pecuhar  numerals  of  an  older  system  of  paging,  by  which  the 
present  folio  i  was  numbered  folio  1 7.  Notwithstanding  this  muti- 
lation of  the  volume,  we  may  hope  that  the  original  Registry  is  still 
nearly  complete.  It  is  not  likely  that  in  tlie  early  pages,  wliich  have 
been  lost,  any  of  the  more  ancient  documents  of  the  Priory  were 
contained;  those  pages,  probably,  were  partly  occupied  by  a  table  of 
contents,  such  as  is  frequently  prefixed  to  monastic  chartularies ; 
and  partly  they  may  have  been  left  blank  for  future  insertions,  like 
the  folia  non  scripta  of  the  memorandum  of  1553;  and  from  Arch- 
bishop Talbot's  relaxation  of  two  marks,  payable  for  proxies,  being 
written  on  our  folio  i ,  it  is  probable  that  these  early  folios  were  occu- 
pied by  records,  to  which  priority  was  given,  not  from  their  higher 
antiquity,  but  from  their  peculiar  interest  in  the  days  of  the  compiler. 
It  is  evident  that  the  documents  in  the  Registry  have  been  arranged 
according  to  a  system,  and  this  order  has,  therefore,  been  preserved 
in  the  following  pages:  first,  there  are  Papal  Bulls'^,  then  Royal  Con- 
firmations^  then  Charters  and  Leases  relating  to  property  within  the 
city  of  Dublin^  followed  by  grants  of  lands  in  other  parts  of  Ire- 
land.

limcP.  This  is  a  simple  and  natural  arrangement ;  it  is  not  easy  to 
suppose  that  in  an  ecclesiastical  Registry  any  documents  took  prece- 
dence of  the  Papal  Bulls ;  and  as  Archbishop  Talbot' s*"  relaxation 
immediately  precedes  the  confirmation  of  Pope  Gregory',  it  is  plain 
that  our  present  manuscript  contains  all  the  Bulls  of  the  original 
compilation.  It  is,  indeed,  possible  that  charters  and  other  evidences 
of  the  connexion  of  the  Priory  with  the  Archbishops  of  Dublin,  who 
were  not  only  the  ordinaries,  but  the  patrons  of  the  house,  may  have 
had  the  first  place  in  our  Registry,  and  that,  instead  of  a  subsequent 
insertion.  Archbishop  Talbot's  Relaxation  may  have  been  the  last  of 
a  series  of  such  documents.  On  this  matter  it  is  impossible  to  speak 
decisively,  but  we  are  of  opinion  that  the  original  compilation  com- 
menced with  our  No.  I.,  and  continued  in  the  order  of  the  following 
pages,  until  it  closed  with  No.  LXXXYIIL,  and  that  the  numbers 
which  follow  in  this  collection  were  added  amongst  the  original  com- 
pilation, according  to  the  caprice  of  the  transcribers. 

Although  the  misplacing  of  one^  of  the  Papal  bulls,  and  the  mis- 
dating of  others'',  and  the  strong  suspicion  of  at  least  one  graver 
error',  prevent  implicit  reliance  on  the  learning  and  care  of  the  com- 
piler of  the  Register,  yet  of  the  general  accuracy  of  the  record  there 
is  the  most  satisfactory  evidence.  Not  only  is  there  a  copy  of  the 
deed  of  Richard  Charaberleyn  to  be  found  in  the  Charter  Book  of 
the  Corporation  of  Dublin™  in  the  same  words  with  our  No.  XXIX., 
but  we  have  in  some  instances  been  enabled  to  test  the  accu- 
racy

racy  of  the  transcripts  in  the  Register,  by  collating  them  with  the 
original  charters.  In  the  muniment  room  of  the  Corporation  of 
Dublin,  to  wliich  access  was  granted  by  the  Uberahty  of  the  Cor- 
l)oration,  there  are  still  preserved  ten  documents,  the  poor  remains 
of  the  M'liole  body  of  the  evidences  relative  to  the  Priory  of  All 
Hallows,  which  were  probably  once  deposited  there.  Six  of  these, 
of  which  there  is  no  copy  in  the  Register,  have  been  printed  as  the 
first  six  numbers  of  our  Appendix.  The  other  four,  namely,  the 
Charter  of  Adam,  Bishop  of  Ferns,  embodied  in  the  Inspexio  of 
Edward  III.";  the  Inspexio,  Confirmacio  et  Graciosa  Concessio  of 
Richard  II.,  granted  at  Kilkenny^;  the  Confirmation,  by  Almauricus 
de  Ilofda''.  of  the  Lands  of  Balidugil  and  Balykeligan,  then  held  by 
the  canons  under  the  grant  of  the  old  Irish  kings ;  and  the  Charter  of 
Johannes  Latimer'',  relinquishing  all  claim  to  that  land,  "  que  vocatur 
Inchenehaven  et  jacet  inter  Duncharni  et  aquam  que  vocatur  Schike- 
loth,"  and  granting  to  the  Church  of  All  Hallows  his  own  corpse ; 
these  four  records  have  been  printed  in  the  following  pages,  not 
from  the  Register,  but  from  the  originals,  in  the  possession  of  the 
Corporation;  and  the  slight  difference  between  these  originals  and

dence  of  the  general  correctness  and  trustworthiness  of  the  compiler 
of  the  Register.  • 

The  Appendix  consists  of  original  documents  connected  with  the 
priory,  printed  without  arrangement,  in  the  order  in  which  we  had 
access  to  their  depositories. 

The  first  seven  numbers  are  taken  from  the  Muniment  Room  of 
the  Corporation  of  Dublin,  to  which  we  were  admitted  by  an  Act  of 
Assembly,  and  where  every  facility  of  search  was  afforded  by  the 
kindness  and  attention  of  Mr.  William  Ford,  Town  Clerk. 

To  Sir  William  Betham  we  are  indebted  for  the  extracts  from 
the  Plea  Rolls,  which,  with  his  permission.  Dr.  Aquilla  Smith  tran- 
scribed from  the  originals  in  his  keeping. 

No.  XIIL,  the  Visitation  of  this  Priory  in  1468,  is  taken  from 
Archbishop  Tregury's  Register,  preserved  in  Trinity  College. 

The  remaining  numbers  are  printed  from  the  original  volume  of 
Archbishop  Alan's  Registry,  in  the  possession  of  the  Archbishop  of 
Dublin,  which  His  Grace  put  into  the  hands  of  Dr.  Todd  for  the  pur- 
poses of  this  work'. 

We  mention  the  assistance  which  we  have  thus  received,  not 
simply  in  discharge  of  a  debt  of  gratitude  so  incurred,  but  as  a  proof 
of  the  interest  felt  in  the  works  undertaken  by  the  Irish  Archaso-

known  tlie  few  remaining  authentic  records  which  are  illustrative  of 
the  ancient,  social,  and  political  state  of  tliis  country. 

For  various  aid  given  in  the  progress  of  this  work  we  are  also 
bound  to  thank  Mr.  D' Alton,  whose  accumulated  stores  of  materials 
for  Irish  History  are  so  clearly  arranged  that  they  can  easily  be 
consulted;  and  for  information  on  topographical  subjects,  part  of 
which  unfortunately  came  too  late  to  be  available,  the  Editor  is 
indebted  to  Mr.  O'Donovan. 

But  although  much  assistance  was  derived  from  these  and  other 
schoLars,  the  Editor  is  chiefly  indebted  to  Dr.  Aquilla  Smith,  who 
collated  every  sheet  as  it  went  through  the  Press  with  the  original, 
and  exercised  a  most  efiicient  superintendence  over  the  whole  work. 

The  original  document,  the  fac-simile  of  which  fronts  the  title

RIcardus  permissionc  divina  Dublinie  arcliiepiscopus  Hibernie  prlmas  dilectis 
nobis  in  Christo  rcligiosis  viris  Priori  et  convcntui  Prioratus  Omnium 
Sanctorum  juxta  Dublin  ordinis  Sancti  Augustini  salutera  graciam  et  benedic- 
tionem. 

Divinis  cultibus  desudantes  favore  prosequi  convenit  ampliori  ac  cura  et  soli- 
citudine  favorabiliter  providere  ne  laborantes  in  agro  Domini  congrue  sustenta- 
cionis  presidio  defraudentur  •  Sane  vestra  frequens  et  assidua  nobis  exhibita 
suggestio  querula  continebat  quod  licet  ab  antiquo  Prioratus  vester  plus  quam 
jam  terris  possessionibus  porcionibus  redditibus  decimis  pensionibus  aliisque 
obvencionibus  et  facultatibus  pro  omnibus  oneribus  eidem  Prioratui  regulariter 
incumbentibus  supportandis  dotatus  fuerit  •  arcbiepiscopis  qui  pro  tempore  fue- 
rant  •  visitacionem  ordinariam  in  dicto  Prioratu  et  ecclesiis  in  diocesi  Dublin 
constitutis  dicto  prioratui  apropriatis  personaliter  excercentibus  procuracio  sex 
marcarum  argenti  tantum  singulis  annis  quibus  visitarent  exhiberi  solebat. 

Verum  quia  dictus  Prioratus  propter  ruinam  cdium  vestrarum  ac  eciam 
injustas  et  hostiles  occupaciones  ac  vastaciones  terrarum  possessionum  pensionum 
reddituum  aliarumque  obvencionum  predictarum  ac  propter  nimiam  annorum 
sterilitatem  hominum  et  animalium  mortalitatem  hospitum  confluenciam  onero- 
sam  et  aliorum  oppressiones  indictorum  et  superindictorum  aliaque  gravamina 
quibus  resisti  non  potuit  quasi  infinita  ad  tante  paupertatis  miseriam  jam  evenit 
quod  bona  dicti  Prioratus  remanencia  pro  mediocri  sustentacione  Prions  et  con- 
ventus  vix  sufficiant  •  per  que  dictus  Prioratus  adeo  est  depressus  quod  nisi  eidem 
celerius  succurratur  tarn  cultus  divinus  et  religionis  observancia  quam  alia  pietatis 
opera  in  ipso  Prioratu  de  necessitate  cessabunt  •  idemque  Prioratus  ad  irrecupe- 
rabilis  desolacionis  opprobrium  quod  absit  proximis  futuris  temporibus  verisimi- 
liter  deducetur. 

Quare  nobis  liumiliter  supplicastis  quatinus  vobis  ac  Prioratui  vestro  et  suc- 
cessoribus  vestris  compacientes  simus  ac  exilitatem  reddituum  et  proventuum

Gregm-ius.— Gregory  the  Ninth,  Pope  from  March  1227  to  August  1241.     The 
terms  of  this  Bull  are  the  same  as  those  used  by  this  Pope  in  a  Bull  of  the  year  1234, 
to  the  abbey  of  Dumfermline.     See  Registrum  de  Dumfermlyn,  p.  1 75.

Sancti  Georgii As  neither  the  church  of  St.  George,  the  messuage  near  the  church 

of  St.  Stephen,  the  Insula  Sancti  Salvatoris  de  Glindelacha,  nor  the  forty  acres  "  in 

territorio  de  Donenachbroc,"  are  mentioned  in  Urban's  Bull  (p.  4),  it  is  probable  that 

they  were  granted  between  the  year  1 186,  the  date  of  that  Bull  and  1234,  when  they 

were  confirmed  by  Gregory  the  Ninth.     The  parish  churches  of  St.  Paul  and  St. 

George  were  united  to  the  priory  of  this  house — Alan's  Registry,  p.  350,  Trinity  College

in  the  County  of  Kildare,  of  which  Maurice  Fitz  Gerald  had  unjustly  disseised  David 
late  prior;  the  prior  did  not  succeed  in  his  suit,  but  was  "in  misericordia  pro  falso 
clamore;"  his  fine,  however,  was  excused  quia  pauper.  R.  PI.  B.  T.  No.  88.  Ed.  II.

of  Dublin ;  the  bounds  of  counties  were  not  then  so  well  defined  as  to  make  it  im- 
possible that  Kiladreenan  should  have  been  counted  in  Kildare.

De  Riboannan. — The  present  name  of  this  place  has  not  been  ascertained.  At  the 
time  the  Registry  was  written  there  must  have  been  some  established  mode  of  writing 
the  names  of  the  great  holdings  of  the  priory ;  and  we  can  only  account  for  the  great 
diversity  of  form  under  which  they  appear  in  it,  by  ascribing  it  to  the  accuracy  of 
the  transcriber,  and  his  unwdlliugness  to  alter  the  erroneous  or  obsolete  spelling  of  the 
original  documents.

Insulam  Sancti  Salcatoris  de  Glindelacha. — Alan's  Registry,  as  quoted  in  King's 
Collectanea  de  Rebus  Hibernicis,  p.  285,  says:  "  H.  Archiepiscopus  Dublin  confir- 
raavit  ecclesie  Omnium  Sanctorum  Dublin  ecclesiam  Sancti  Salvatoris  de  Glendelach, 
alii  volunt  (quod)  per  Fulconem  de  Sandford  concessa  erat."  As  it  is  not  mentioned 
in  Urban's  Bull,  it  must  have  been  granted  between  1186  and  1234;  and  was  pro- 
bably granted  by  Henry  de  Loundres,  Archbishop  from  1213  to  1228,  in  whose  epis- 
copate the  see  of  Glendalach  was  united  with  that  of  Dublin.  By  an  inquisition  at 
Newcastle,  30th  August,  1604,  it  was  Ibund  that  the  monastery  or  priory  of  All 
Saints,  near  Dviblin,  was  seised,  inter  alia,  of  diverse  messuages,  Avith  1000  acres  of 
arable  lands,  700  acres  pasture,  100  acres  wood,  and  200  acres  moor,  with  their  pur- 
tenances,  "  in  cella  Silve  Salvatoris  et  Glanlorkan  in  Glandalaghe,"  and  in  the  towns  of 
Ballyardgowle,  Ballyliske,  and  BallLnluge. — Inq.  Dublin,  Jac,  I.  5.

Liberoset  absolutos.— The  distinction  between  the  freeman  and  the  villein  was  main- 
tained by  the  Church  ;  and  none  but  freeborn  or  enfranchised  men  were  admissible 
into  religious  foundations.  It  would  seem,  however,  that  a  more  benignant  and  liberal 
practice  made  its  way,  and  that  the  nobles,  who  thereby  lost  the  services  of  their  vil- 
leins, were  induced  to  enact  laws  against  the  admission  of  serfs  or  natives  into  holy 
orders.  The  t6th  Article  of  the  Constitutions  of  Clarendon  (i  164),  asserts  that,  "  Filii 
rusticorum  non  debent  ordinari  absque  assensu  domini  de  cujus  terra  nati  esse  dmos- 
cuntur."  And  in  the  14th  clause  of  the  Statute  of  Kilkenny,  for  the  publication  of 
which  the  antiquary  and  the  historian  are  deeply  indebted  to  Mr.  Hardiman,  it  is 
enacted:  "  Que  nul  prelatz  de  St.  Esglise  recoievent  nulle  neoyff  (i.  e.  native  or  vil- 
lain, see  Blackstone,  book  ii.  c.  6)  as  ascuns  orders  sanz  assent  et  tesmoinnage  de  son 
seignior  faiet  a  luy  sur  son  scale."  In  the  life  of  Robert  Betun,  Bishop  of  Hereford, 
from  1 131  to  1148  it  is  said:  "  Ordinationes  clericorum  exquisitissime  faciebat  .... 
Gyravagos,  acephalos,  notabiles,  alienos,  servos  penitus  refutabat.  Clericulos  nisi  pro- 
vectiores  et  libertatis  testimonium  habentes,  quibusque  in  ecclesia  locus  et  victus  pro- 
visus  fuisset,  coronare  devitabat." — Anglia  Sacra,  vol.  ii.  p.  310.

Arcioris  religionis  obtentu A  dispute  between  the  Dominicans  and  the  Francis- 
cans, as  to  which  was  ordo  arctior  et  superior,  to  which  members  of  the  other  might 
transmigrate,  is  recorded  by  Matt.  Paris,  no  friend  to  either  order,  at  the  year  1243.

Interdictum.—ThQioWovf'm^  record,  taken  from  Alan's  Eeg.  p.  410,  Trinity  College

ford,  in  the  year  1267 :

Anno  millesimo  ccxxiiij. — As  Gregoiy  the  Ninth  sat  from  1227  to  1241,  it  is  plain 
that  the  transeriber  must  have  omitted  an  x  ;  the  Indiction  and  the  year  of  his  reign 
are  correct,  and,  with  other  circumstances,  prove  that  this  Bull  must  be  assigned  to 
him.

Urbanus. — Urban  the  Third,  Pope  from  November  11 85  to  October  11 87.  This 
is  the  earliest  of  the  Bulls  granted  to  our  priory  ;  but  in  printing  it  has  been  thought 
right  to  observe  the  order  of  the  Registry,  in  which  the  Bull  of  Gregory  the  Ninth  is 
placed  first.

Canturg. — From  the  Confirmation  of  Henry  II.  (p.  20)  it  appears  that  the  lands 
here  mentioned,  although  not  included  by  name  in  Dermot  M'Morogh's  foundation 
charter,  were  granted  previous  to  the  coming  of  King  Henry,  and  that  the  English  had 
made  no  additional  grants  to  this  house  previous  to  the  date  of  this  Bull,  in  1 1 86.

Decimis. — From  the  earliest  times  the  Irish  Church  laid  claim  to  tithes.     In  the 

canons  of  a  very  ancient  Irish  Synod,  published  by  Martene,  in  the  fourth  volume  of 

his  Thesaurus  Anecdotorum,   col.  ii,  which  he  ascribes  to  the  times  of  St.  Patrick, 

but  in  which  reference  ismadeto  the  authority  of  Colummanus  Doctor  [Columbanus?], 

it 


1  lO 

it  is  enjoined,  "  ut  omni  anno  docimas  de  vitalibus  et  mortalibus  Deo  demus,  cum 
omni  anno  ipsius  munera  habeamus;"  but  that  of  the  fruits  of  the  earth,  the  tithe  is 
to  be  given  only  in  that  year  in  which  they  grow ;  when  a  person  had  less  than  ten 
of  any  article,  there  seemed,  in  the  time  of  this  Synod,  to  have  been  some  doubt  as  to 
the  proper  mode  of  tithing  ;  some  asserting  that  in  such  case  no  tithes  need  be  paid  ; 
others  enjoining,  that  if  a  man  had  only  one  cow,  he  should  divide  the  price  into  ten 
parts,  and  give  the  tenth  to  God.  In  the  treatise  De  Statu  Ecclesi*,  written  by  Gilbert, 
Bishop  of  Limerick  and  Legate,  about  the  year  1 1  oo,  are  these  words,  shewing  the 
payment  of  tithes,  and  the  persons  to  whom  they  were  paid  in  Ireland  at  that  time : 
"  Octo  sunt  ergo  quibus  sustentatur  sacerdos,  parochia,  mansus,  atrium,  coemiterium, 

templum,  altare,  calix  cum  patena,  corpus  cum  sanguine, Parochiam  appello 

populum  primitias  oblationes  et  decimas  persolventem,  Mansum  dico  terram  aratri 
quam  ad  minus  debet  habere  sacerdos  ;  Atrium,  cum  domibus  suis  clausuram." — 
Usserii  Vet.  Epp.  Hib.  SyUoge,  p.  85.  It  is  probable,  however,  from  the  frequent  re- 
petition of  orders  for  their  payment  by  Cardinal  Paparo  in  1157  (see  the  Annals  of 
Cluain  Aidnach,  in  Keating,  vol.  ii.  p.  276),  at  the  Council  of  Cashel  in  1 1 72,  in  which, 
however,  the  canon  applies  not  to  the  payment  of  tithes,  but  to  their  appropriation  to 
the  parish  church  (see  Hibernia  Expug.  lib.  i.  c.  30),  and  by  Archbishop  Comyn  in  1 1 86 
(see  Harris's  Ware's  Bishops,  p.  3 1 7),  as  well  as  from  the  assertion  of  Giraldus  Cam- 
brensis — who,  however,  mixes  this  charge  with  others  which,  as  Irishmen,  we  should 
not  willingly  alloAv  (Top.  Hib.  Distinc.  iii.  c.  19) — that  there  was  some  difficulty  in  en- 
forcing these  canons  of  the  Church,  and  in  establishing  this  custom.  In  the  fifteenth 
century  it  was  a  usual  practice  for  dying  men  in  their  last  wills  to  leave  a  sum  of  money 
to  the  parson  of  the  parish,  pro  decimis  ohlitis;  of  this  several  instances  are  to  be  found 
in  Archbishop  Tregury's  Registry  of  "Wills,  which  is  preserved  in  the  Library  of  Trinity 
Coll.  Dub. ;  and  in  the  same  i^olume  are  given  several  sentences  of  excommunication 
pronounced  against  contumacious  withholders  of  tithe  in  the  diocese  of  Dublin  ;  and 
if  contumacious  for  forty  days,  the  excommunicated  person  was  committed  to  prison. 
Except  in  the  payment  of  the  quarter  episcopals  to  the  bishops  in  Connaught  (see 
Harris's  Ware's  Bishops,  p.  619),  I  have  not  foundthe  slightest  mention  of  any  threefold 
or  fourfold  apportionment  of  the  tithes  in  Ireland,  either  by  law  or  custom.  The  term 
of  forty  days  previous  to  the  arrest  of  the  excommunicated  person  (Rot.  CI.  ii.  H.  3,  in 
Turr.  Lond.,  and  Proceedings  against  Alice  Kyteler,  p.  20)  was  reduced  to  a  month  by 
the  first  chapter  of  the  Statute  of  Kilkenny. 

The  following  Bull  relative  to  tithes  has  not  been  printed.     It  was  addressed  by 
Innocent  the  Third,  in  12 14,  to  Archbishop  Henry  de  Loundres : 

"  Innocentius  Episcopus    servus    servorum   Dei  venerabili  fratri  Archiepiscopo

Sepulturam The  eleventh  canon  of  Archbishop  Comyn's  Synod,  prohibits,  under 

the  pain  of  an  anathema,  any  person  to  bury  in  a  churchyard,  unless  he  can  shew  by 
an  authentic  writing,  or  by  undeniable  evidence,  that  it  was  consecrated  by  a  bishop, 
not  only  as  a  sanctuary  and  place  of  refuge,  but  also  for  a  place  of  sepulture ;  and 
that  no  laymen  shall  presume  to  bury  their  dead  in  such  consecrated  place  without  the 
presence  of  a  priest. — Harris'' s  Ware'' s  Bishops^  P-  316. 

In  1427,  John,  the  sixth  Earl  of  Kildare,  was  buried  in  this  monastery;  and  in  1478, 
his  son  and  successor  Thomas,  the  seventh  Earl,  was  buried  with  him  (Archdall's 
Lodge,  vol.  i.  p.  82).  It  is  possible  that  the  Fitz-Gerald  monument,  now  in  the  outside 
wall  of  St.  Werburge''s  church,  Dublin,  may  have  been  the  monument  of  one  of  these 
earls ;  and  that  at  the  desecration  of  the  priory  chapel,  it  may  have  been  removed  to 
that  church,  by  the  piety  of  his  representatives. 

The  following  decree  regarding  the  burials  in  the  chapel  of  Palmerstown,  which 
were  claimed  by  the  prior  and  canons  of  Lanthony  Prima,  as  belonging  to  the  church 
of  Garristown,  and  by  the  canons  of  St.  Patrick,  as  belonging  to  the  Prebend  of  Clon- 
methan,  is  taken  from  Alan's  Reg.,  p.  621,   Trinity  College  copy:

In  the  Synod  of  Casliel  it  Avas  ordained  that  the  dead  man  should  have  the  third 
of  his  moveables;  and  this  rule  was  observed  in  the  time  of  Archbishop  Tregury.  The 
following  extract  from  Laing's  Chronicle  of  the  Kings  of  Norway,  shews  the  antiquity 
of  this  custom,  and  the  mode  in  which  this  part  was  disposed  of  amongst  some  of 
the  northern  pagans  :  "  Thorer  explained,  that  it  was  so  established  in  this  land 
(near  the  mouth  of  the  Dwina  river),  that  when  a  rich  man  died,  all  his  moveable 
goods  were  divided  between  the  dead  man  and  his  heirs.  He  got  the  half  part,  or 
the  third  part,  or  sometimes  less,  and  that  part  was  carried  out  into  the  forest  and 
buried — sometimes  under  a  mound,  sometimes  in  the  earth,  and  sometimes  even  a 
house  was  built  over  it." — Vol.  ii.  p.  200. 

Page  6,  line  15. 

Abbatem  proprium  non  habentem — Abbeys  governed  by  priors  were  at  this  time  of 
rare  occurrence.  There  seem  to  be  some  faint  indications  that  priories  of  a  founda- 
tion anterior  to  the  middle  of  the  thirteenth  century,  were  originally  immediately 
under  resident  episcopal  authority.  Malachy,  Bishop  of  Down  from  1176  to  1201, 
granted  the  church  of  St.  Patrick  of  Down  in  these  words  :  "  Sciant  futuri  tanquam 
presentes  quod  ego  Malachias  Dunensis  Episcopus  concessi  ad  honorem  Dei  et  sancte 
religionis  ecclesiam  S.  Patricii  de  Dune  cum  omnibus  pertinentiis  suis  ad  opus  prioris 
et  nigrorum  monachorum,  quorum  ipse  episcopus  ero  custos  et  abbas,  sicut  fit  in 
ecclesia  Wyntoniensi  vel  Conventrensi." — Mon.  A^igl.  vol.  ii.  p.  1020.  For  the  abbatial 
authority  of  the  Bishop  of  Winchester  over  the  monks  of  St.  Swithun  Wynton,  see

Salva  nobis. — Various  means  were  adopted  to  secure  the  regular  performance  of 
divine  service  in  the  parishes  appropriated  to  religious  houses.  Thus  in  Maurice  Fitz- 
Gerald's  grant  of  the  parish  of  Taghadoe,  p.  1 6,  the  tithes,  lands,  and  obvcntions,  and 
other  things  belonging  to  them,  are  carefully  reserved  to  the  church  of  Laderachbrim 
(Laraghbrien),  and  to  the  chapel  of  Maynooth  ;  and  in  this  instance  of  the  parish  of 
Rath,  by  reserving  to  himself  the  collation  of  the  vicarage,  the  bishop  not  only  secured 
the  appointment  of  a  resident  priest,  but  also  prevented  the  collusive  arrangement 
which  too  often  was  made  by  religious  houses  with  vicars  of  their  own  nomination.

eyes,  if  all  these  possessions  and  their  reputed  donors  had  been  named.

it  appears  as  De  Lynet  and  Del  Ynet.  In  the  commencement  of  the  reign  of  Edward  II.

Theobaldus  Walteri As  this  grant  is  witnessed  by  J.,  Bishop  of  Ferns  from  1223 

to  1243,  it  must  be  assigned,  as  is  done  by  Archdall,  Peerage,  vol.  iv.  p.  5,  to  the  second 
Theobald  Walter.  Is  it  not  from  the  circumstance,  that  the  first  Theobald  was  brother 
to  Hubert  Walter,  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  that  the  tradition  originated  of  the 
connexion  between  the  family  of  Ormonde  and  Archbishop  Thomas  a  Becket  ?  Arch- 
dall, vol.  iv.  p.  3.     This  grant  is  recited  and  confirmed  in  No.  ix.

TImna  de  Wj/ncestr — In  a  Pipe  Roll,  44,  5  Hen.  III.,  engraved  in  Eecord  Eeport  i. 
PI.  ii.  p.  ^6,  several  of  the  names  attached  to  this  and  the  following  grants,  appear  as 
witnesses  :  Walter  Unred,  Symon  Unred,  Reymond  Pictavens,  Thorn,  de  Wynton 
(Winchester),  Elyas  Burel,  and  Rich.  Olof.  In  this  year,  1259-60  (and  also  in  1267, 
Chain  Book),  Vincent  Taverner  was  mayor,  and  Walter  Unred  and  Hugh  Cissor  (Tailor) 
were  provosts.

Ricardo  Olof. — According  to  No.  xxxiv.  p.  37,  Richard  Olof  was  mayor,  and 
Thomas  de  Wynchester  and  Roger  Asseborne  were  provosts,  in  1317,  the  tenth  of 
Edward  II.  ;  but  as  Roger  Ashbourne  was  mayor,  and  Peter  Abraam  provost,  in 
1 260-1  (Corpor.  Charter  Book),  we  shall,  if  we  assign  it  to  this  date,  13 17,  have 
amongst  the  nine  witnesses  to  this  charter,  four  persons  connected  with  the  corpo- 
ration for  fifty- seven  years,  which  seems  beyond  likelihood.  By  considering  the  words 
"  filii  Regis  Edwardi"  in  No.  xxxiv.  as  an  error  of  the  transcriber  for  the  words 
"  filii  Regis  Heurici,"  and  thus  making  Olof's  mayoralty  in  the  year  1282,  we  shall 
avoid  this  difficulty,  and  save  the  credit  of  Robert  Ware's  list  of  mayors,  in  which 
Robert  de  Nottingham  rightly  appears  as  mayor  in  that  famous  year,  in  which  he  de- 
fended Dublin  from  the  Scots.  Geram  also,  the  grantor,  Avitnesses  No.  xxiii.,  which 
was  probably  granted  about  the  year  1230.

Andrew's  church  and  churchyard  were  the  site  of  the  present  Castle  Market,  and  so

R.  Priore  de  Sanda  Trinitate At  the  beginning  of  the  thirteenth  century  there 

were  two  or  three  priors  of  the  Holy  Trinity  whose  names  began  with  the  letter  R. 
(See  Mon.  Hib.)  Magister  Thomas  Avas  probably  Thomas  de  Craville,  Chancellor  of 
St.  Patrick's  in  123 1,  and  W.  Archdeacon,  was  William  de  Northfield,  Archdeacon  of 
Dublin  in  the  time  of  Archbishop  Luke,  1228  to  1256.  In  Mon.  Hib.,  p.  157,  Ralph 
de  la  More  is  said  to  have  been  dead  in  1238;  and  the  Charter  Book  of  the  Corpo- 
ration says,  that  Guido  Cornubiensis  was  Provost  in  1229-30,  so  that  we  may  fairly 
assign  this  charter  to  some  time  about  1230.

Johannes  Hareng. — Seems  to  have  been  the  tenant  or  assignee  of  Philip  de  Wygor-

previous  number,  as  three  of  the  witnesses  are  the  same  in  both.

Thoma  de  Wynton. — This  grant  is  of  the  same  date  as  No.  xvii.  the  mayor  and 
provosts  being  the  same.  Roger  the  clerk  wrote  de  Winton  and  Scissore  for  the 
names  which  Nicholas  of  Leominster(  ?),  the  writer  of  xvii.,  was  content  to  represent 
under  their  vernactdar  forms  of  Wyncester  and  Taillur.

Audoenus  Brun It  is  difficult,  from  its  internal  evidence,  to  ascertain  the  date  of 

this  document,  but  as  it  must  have  been  prior  to  xxvii.,  which  refers  to  it,  and  which 


121 

was  made  before  the  year  1 240,  it  must  be  one  of  the  earliest  in  the  Registry.  For  va- 
rious grants  made  by  Archbishop  ComyTi  to  Audoen  his  clerk,  son  of  William  Brune,

Rogero  Priore. — Roger  was  prior  of  the  Holy  Trinity  in  1212  and  1230  ;  in  1238 

Philip  was  prior Mon.  Hib.  154.     Thomas  was  chancellor  of  St.  Patrick's  in  1231, 

and  William  Fitz-Guy  was  dean  from  12 19  to  1240.  So  that  this  grant  must  have 
been  made  between  12 19  and  1238.  In  Mon.  Hib.,  p.  206,  William  de  Flamstede  is 
said  to  have  been  mayor  sometime  before  1308.  John  le  Decer  was  mayor  in  1308, 
but  if  a  William  Flamstede  was  mayor  about  that  time,  he  may  have  been  the  son  of 
this  witness.

Sancti  Petri  de  la  Hulle Stanyhurst  says  that  the  church  of  St.  Peter  de  Monte, 

or  upon  the  Hill,  was  appendant  to  St.  Patrick's  church. — Description  of  Ireland  in 
Holinshed,  p.  25.  The  vicarage  of  St.  Peter's  was  formed  in  1680,  by  an  act  of  Council, 
which  united  into  one  the  parishes  of  St.  Kevin,  St.  Peter  de  Monte,  and  a  portion  of 
St.  Stephen's — Mason,  St.  Patrick's,  p.  45.

Willelmo  Bocdif. — It  is  to  be  feared  that  in  the  names  of  the  mayors  and  provosts, 
witnesses  to  this  lease,  we  have  an  instance  of  the  carelessness  of  the  writer  of  the 
Registry.  In  Ware's  list,  which  was  taken  from  the  list  in  the  Tholsel,  the  mayor  and 
bailiffs  for  this  year,  1334,  are  William  Gay  don,  William  de  Winerton,  and  Roger 
Grancourt  ;  while  for  the  same  year  the  Charter  Book  of  the  Corporation,  fol.  64,  gives 
the  names  Beydyn,  Winertown,  and  Grauncourt.  It  is  easy  to  reconcile  the  Charter  Book 
with  Ware.  Nor  is  it,  perhaps,  impossible  to  reconcile  all  these  seemingly  incongruous 
names,  Gaydon,  Bocdif,  and  Beydyn,  by  supposing  that  the  real  name  was  Becdif, 
which  being  written  Begdyv,  was  copied  by  the  scribe  in  the  Charter  Book  Beydyn, 
and  by  the  still  more  careless  framer  of  Ware's  list  was  changed  into  Gaydon.  Accord- 
ing to  this  conjecture  the  real  name  is  more  nearly  preserved  in  our  Registry  than  in 
any  other  record.  John  Crokes,  John  Callan,  and  Giles  Waldeswel  (correctly  Baldes- 
well)  frequently  appear  in  Ware's  list  about  this  time.

Ricardi  Chamberleyn. — Richard  Chamberlan  was  bailiff  in  1374,  and  again  in  1375, 
and  is  occasionally  mentioned  as  a  citizen  of  Dublin  in  the  Chancery  Rolls,  from 
49  Ed.  III.  to  7  Hen.  IV.     He  probably  held  this  land  from  the  city,  and  for  greater

Michaelis  de  la  Pol. — Stanyhurst,  ubi  supra,  calls  this  church  St.  Michael's  of 
Poules,  alias  Paules.  From  the  two  following  leases  it  would  appear  that  this  parish 
was  situated  near  St.  Patrick's  cathedral.  In  1682  the  parishes  of  St.  Bride  and  St. 
Michael  of  Pole,  and  a  part  of  St.  Stephen's,  were  united  by  act  of  Council,  and  this 
church  was  used  as  the  diocesan  school-house.  In  1706  the  Chapter  issued  an  order  to 
Dr.  John  Jones  that  he  should  not  pull  down  the  monument  or  tower  of  St.  Michael 
of  Paul's,  near  his  school-house  in  Sheepe-street. — Mason,  72.  Archdall,  Mon.  Hib. 
p.  1 50,  says  that  Le  Pulle-street,  in  the  parish  of  St.  Brigid,  is  now  called  Ship-street ; 
but  this  is  inconsistent  with  the  earlier  authority  of  Stanyhurst,  who,  p.  26,  in  his 
enumeration  of  the  streets  of  Dublin,  mentions  both  the  Poule,  or  Paulmil-street,  and 
the  Sheepe-street,  alias  Ship-street;  he  also  states  that  the  Poule  gate  bridge  was  re- 
paired by  Nicholas  Stanyhurst  about  the  year  one  thousand  five  hundred  fourty  and 
four.  During  the  assault  of  the  Norwegians  on  the  English  occupiers  of  Dublin, 
Harris,  in  his  History  of  Dublin,  p.  224,  says,  Richard  de  Cogan,  by  direction  of  his 
brother,  sallied  out  of  the  south  gate  (then  called  Pole  gate,  at  the  end  of  St.  Wer- 
burgh-street)  with  a  body  of  300  horse,  and  attacked  the  enemy  in  flank.  In  the 
original  the  gate  from  which  this  victorious  attack  was  made  is  called  the  west  gate, 
and  the  300  horse  are  reduced  to  30 — Conquest  of  Ireland,  2341.  In  Hib.  Expug. 
Dist.  I.  c.  xxi.,  Giraldus  says  that  Richard  Cogan  sallied  out  per  porticum  australem. 
Curious  etymologies  are  suggested  by  the  name  of  the  Norwegian  leader  :  Regan 
calls  him  Johan  le  Deve,  and  Giraldus  styles  him  Johannes  Thewoode,  quod  latine 
sonat  insanus  vel  veJiemens.  Have  we  here  the  origin  of  the  Scottish  word  Deave,  and 
the  old  English  Wood?

Ricardo  Olof  majore. — As  the  names  of  R.  Olof,  Thomas  Wynchester,  and  Roger 
Ashbourne,  frequently  occur  as  witnesses  to  many  undated  grants,  it  is  of  some  impor- 
tance to  ascertain  the  year  in  which  Olof  was  mayor,  and  Wynchester  and  Ashbourne 

])rovosts.

provosts.  In  this  No.  the  year  of  their  magistracy  is  said  to  have  been  the  tenth  of  Ed- 
ward, son  of  Edward,  or  Edward  II.,  that  is,  the  year  1316;  and  that  this  was  the  true  date 
of  Olof's  mayoralty,  Avould  seem,  in  some  degree,  to  be  rendered  probable  by  thi;  circum- 
stance that  Eicliard  de  Saucto  Olavo  is  said  in  Ware's  list  to  have  been  bailiff  in  1308, 
10,  and  12;  and  incur  No.  xxxiii.,  which  is  dated  in  1347,  the  shop  now  recovered 
being  styled  the  shop  recovered  from  Richard  Ponteys,  would  seem  to  bring  the  trans- 
action of  the  present  No.  within  the  preceding  fifty  years.  But  there  are  great  diffi- 
culties in  the  way  of  fixing  the  mayoralty  of  Olof  and  the  provostship  of  Wynchester 
and  Ashbourne  so  late  as  1 3 1 7. 

From  No.  Ixxvii.,  p.  68,  it  appears  that  Prior  Nigellus  was  alive  in  1288,  and  that 
he  was  dead  in  1298 ;  he  could  not  therefore  have  been  plaintiff  before  Richard  Olof  in 
13 1 7.  Nor  is  this  the  only  difficulty  in  the  way  of  this  late  date  of  the  present  No. 
In  a  Pipe  Roll  of  44-5  Hen.  III.,  preserved  in  Birmingham  Tower,  and  of  which  a  fac- 
simile is  given  in  Record  Report  L,  p.  56,  amongst  the  witnesses  are  Walter  Unred, 
Elyas  Burel,  Ric.  Olof,  Thom.  de  Wynton,  Reymund  Pictavens,  and  Simon  Unred  ; 
but  in  Nos.  xviii.  xx.  xxv.  we  have  these  six  persons  surviving  to  Olof's  mayoralty, 
or  to  that  of  Wynton,  which,  as  he  was  Olof's  provost,  was  probably  subsequent  to 
Olof's.  As  the  45th  of  Hen.  III.  was  from  Oct.  1260  to  Oct.  1261,  if  Olof's  mayoralty 
was  in  131 7,  we  shall  have  six  persons  witnessing  deeds  at  the  interval  of  fifty-seven 
years.  In  Mon.  Hib.,  p.  206,  Thomas  de  Winchester  is  said  to  have  been  mayor  of 
Dublin  when  Richard  St.  Martin  was  dean  of  St.  Patrick's,  which  limits  the  time  from 
about  1250  to  about  1269.  Perhaps  it  may  be  conjectured  that  the  real  date  of  Olof's 
mayoralty  was  1282,  the  tenth  of  Edward  I.,  and  that  the  -words  Jilii  Ed wardi  were  a 
mistake  of  the  scribe  of  the  Registry  iov  filii  Henrici.  When  more  documents  of  this 
period  have  been  printed,  these  uncertain  dates  will  probably  be  fixed  ;  at  present  we 
can  only  deal  with  them  in  conjectures See  note  to  p.  25,  1.  21.

date  later  than  1230,  its  name  cannot  be  derived  from  Richard  de  Rupella,  Lord  Jus- 
tice in  1 261.  In  the  times  of  Stanyhtirst  and  of  Harris  it  was  called  Back-lane. — 
Stauyhurst's  Descript.  of  Ireland,  p.  26.  Harris's  Dublin,  p.  90.  The  trade  with 
Rochelle  probably  consisted  in  the  exchange  of  Irish  peltry  for  the  wines  of  Poictiers 
(Top.  Hib.  Dist.  I.  c.  v.)  and  perhaps  for  salt,  which  was  sometimes  enormously  dear. —

Willelmo  decano. — Of  the  witnesses  to  this  grant  William  Fitz  Guy  and  T.  de  Cas- 
tello  occur  as  dean  and  chancellor  in  12 19.    Roger  was  prior  of  Holy  Trinity  in  12 12, 
(Mon.  Hib.  p.  154)  Radulph  de  Mora  was  dead  in  1238  (Mon.  Hib.  p.  157)  and  Wydo 
Cornubiensis  was  provost  in  1229. — Charter  Book,  fol.  41.

for  the  Camden  Society,  at  p.  1 6,  for  Willelmo  Doucemanne,  civitatis  Dublinis,  read 
W.  Douce,  majore  Civitatis  Dublinise.  This,  and  some  of  the  other  pleas  in  this  Re- 
gistry were  intended  to  evade  the  Statute  of  Mortmain.

Invico  Berterani. — Bertrami  ? — Bertram's-street,  or  Bertram's-court,  not  men- 
tioned either  by  Stanyhurst  or  Harris,  is  said  by  Lynch  (Feudal  Dignities,  p.  68)  to 
have  derived  its  name  from  the  residence  of  Bertram  de  Vurdon,  Seneschal  of  Ireland, 
in  the  time  of  Henry  II.

Petro  Habraham The  year  of  Peter  Abraam's  mayoralty  has   not  been  ascer-

bably  was  shortly  before  that  year.  The  occurrence  of  R,  Olof 's  name  in  this  con-

p.  157,  as  the  year  of  Pollard's  mayoralty.  It  is  to  be  observed  that  the  mayor  wit-

Carta  Dermicii.—The  authority  of  Dermod  M'Morough,  king  of  Leinster,  within 
the  city  of  Dublin,  seems  to  have  been  uncertain  and  fluctuating.  In  this  charter  he 
distinguishes  the  men  of  Dublin— a  body  of  commercial  foreigners,  struggling  for  in- 
dependence—from the  men  of  Leinster,  his  native  and  hereditary  subjects. 

Page  50,  line  17. 

Edano.—Lugwdensi,  or  Lugudensi,  as  printed  by  Dugdale,  Mon.  Anglic,  from 
Sir  J.  Ware's  transcript,  has  been  always  taken  to  mean  Bishop  of  Louth  or  Clogher, 
a  see  at  this  time  filled  by  Edan  O'Kelley,  who  had  been  appointed  to  it  in  the  room 
of  Christian,  Malachy's  brother,  by  Malachy  himself,  because  he  saw  in  a  vision  the 
episcopal  gold  ring  upon  Edan's  finger.  (Cambrensis  Eversus,  p.  168.)  It  is  not 
plain,  however,  that  Dermod,  king  of  Leinster,  had  any  connexion  with  Louth,  and  it 
is  also  difficult  to  assign  a  reason  for  his  placing  the  Bishop  of  Clogher  in  Dublin.  It 
would  be  easy  to  read  Lug.,  the  contraction  for  this  bishop's  title,  in  Alan's  Registry 
—See  Appendix,  No.  xiv.— for  Lag.,  the  contraction,  for  Laginiensium  Episcopus,  <i 

title 


126 

title  perhaps  not  known  to  the  Dublin  ecclesiastics  of  the  fifteenth  century,  and  which 
they  certainly  would  be  unwilling  to  recognize  out  of  the  line  of  the  Dublin  prelacy, 
but  which  was  borne  by  Ferdomnach,  Bishop  of  Kildare,  about  the  year  1096  (Usserii 
8ylloge,  p.  93),  and  by  other  bishops  of  that  see,  and  which,  during  the  supremacy  of 
Dermod,  may  possibly  have  been  assumed  by  his  Bishop  of  Ferns.  The  Bishop  of 
Ferns  at  this  time  was  Joseph  O'Hethe,  or  O'-^dha Ware's  Bishops.  If  his  Chris- 
tian name  had  been  Aed,  there  would  be  no  difficulty  in  assigning  to  him  the  honour 
of  this  foundation.  We  must  observe  that  Lug.,  or  Lugwdensis  Episcopus,  was  not 
the  uniform  style  of  Edan  O'Kelley,  Bishop  of  Clogher,  since  his  name  is  given  as  a 
witness  to  the  charter  of  the  monastery  of  Newry,  as  Bishop  of  Ergalia,  or  Uriel. —

A  procuracione  et  expedicione  mea Procuracio  may  be  considered  as  the  Latin  for 

coshering,  the  exaction  of  lodging  and  provision  for  himself  and  his  retinue,  laid  by  the 
chief  lord  on  his  tenants  and  others  under  his  protection.  Expedicio  probably  compre- 
hended not  only  the  obligation  of  military  service,  but  the  bonaght,  or  exactions,  im- 
posed for  the  maintenance  of  the  chieftain's  horsemen  or  kearns — Adelung's  Du

Canonicorum  vel  monachorum The  old  foundations  in  Ireland  were  exclusively  for 

canons,  and  xmtil  the  foundation  of  Mellifont  by  Malachy  in  1 142,  Ireland  was,  in  the 
words  of  St.  Bernard,  "  terra  jam  insueta  immo  et  inexperta  monastice  religionis." — 
Usserii  Sylloge,  p.  105.  These  canons  w^ere  Coenobites,  bound  by  some  of  the  various 
rules  mentioned  in  Irish  Ecclesiastical  History,  and  were  merged  by  Innocent  II., 
1 1 39,  in  the  Canons  Eegular  of  St.  Augustine.  For  the  strong  resemblance  of  the 
Canons  of  St.  Augustine  with  the  Culdees,  see  Liber  Cartarum  Prioratus  Sancti

Almauricus  de  Hofda. — Almaric,  third  Baron  of  Howth,  which  lordship  was  con- 
firmed to  him  by  John  Earl  of  Moreton.  The  lands  of  Baldoyle  and  Ballycollan  were 
probably  dependant  on  the  lordship  of  Howth.  This  charter  was  granted  in  the  time 
of  Prior  Richard,  who  Avitnessed  a  grant  of  Archbishop  Henry  to  the  Vicars  of  St. 
Patrick  between  1223  and  1228.  Hugo  de  Esthamur,  one  of  the  witnesses  to  this 
charter,  appears  to  be  the  Hugo  de  Estham  of  pp.  38-9,  62-8.  For  the  benefits  con- 
ferred by  the  grant  of  Fraternity  here  conditioned  for,  see  Preface  to  Christ  Church

been  printed  in  the  Miscellany  of  the  Spalding  Club,  vol.  ii.  p.  103. 

A  very  curious  grant  from  this  Almaric  de  Hofda,  in  which  he  swears,  under  the 
penalty  of  405.,  that  he  will  not  lay  violent  hands,  except  in  self-defence,  upon  any  of 
his  prelates,  is  here  subjoined,  it  is  taken  from  Alan's  Registry,  College  copy,  p.  634.

Nicholav.s  de  Houete. — Nicholas,  said  to  have  been  the  sixth  Lord  of  Howth.  He 
seems  to  have  possessed  the  want  of  respect  for  the  clergy  which  was  manifested  by 
the  third  lord,  and  to  have  oppressed  them,  not  by  force,  like  his  ancestor,  but  by 
law.  If  the  former  charters  Avere  valid — and  there  does  not  appear  any  reason  for 
questioning  them — these  forty  marks  were  clearly  extorted  from  the  prior  and  con-

Ricardus  de  Pheypo. — Adam  de  Feipo  was  one  of  Hugh  de  Lacy's  barons,  and  had  a 
grant  of  Serine,  Clontorht  (Clontarf),  and  Santreft,  which  brought  him  into  con- 
tact with  the  grants  to  All-Hallows.  In  1332  Simon  de  Feypo  was  seised  of  the 
manors  of  Skryne  in  Meath,  of  Santry  in  Dublin,  and  of  Rathcoul  and  Moyeshell  in 
the  Liberty  of  Trim. — Pipe  Eoll.  Of  the  introduction  of  the  name  of  Simon  into 
this  family  the  following  account  is  given  in  the  Miracula  Simonis  de  Montfort, 
printed  by  the  Camden  Society  :  "  Ricardus  Seypo  (Feypo)  miles  Hiberniee,  habuit 
mulierem  pregnantem  et  febricitantem  et  propter  majsticiam  et  dolorem  perdidit 
loquelam.  Physici  desperaverunt  et  dixerunt,  '  Aut  peribit  puer  aut  mater.'  Post 
paululum  versa  est  ad  vomitum,  et  peperit  masculum  elegantem  sed  abortivum. 
Dictus  Ricardus  plicuit  denarium  ad  martirem  nostrum,  super  matrem  et  puerum, 

et  revixit  puer,  et  sanata  est  mater,  et  dederant  nomen  Simon  de  Montfort 

Testes  hujus  rei  dictus  Ricardus  cum  tota  familia  sua." — p.  73.  How  Feypo,  lord 
of  Santry,  had  acquired  authority  over  these  men  of  Baldoyle,  does  not  appear.  It 
would  be  hasty  to  conclude,  from  this  charter,  that  it  was  possible  in  Ireland,  as  we 
know  that  it  was  in  Scotland,  for  a  person  to  be  tenant  to  one  party  and  native  to 
another,  a  complicated  relationship,  which  must  have  been  full  of  difficulties. — Reg. 
St.  Andree,  p.  278.

From  an  Inquisition  given  in  Alan's  Registry  (Trinity  College  copy,  p.  243)  it 
appears  that  a  certain  Simon  Neyl,  or  Oneyll,  who  is  styled  Citizen  of  Dublin,  had 
acquired  two  carucates  of  land  in  the  manor  of  Lispobell,  and  that  in  the  30th  of 
Edw.  III.,  1356,  Archbishop  Mynot  claimed  the  said  Symon,  who  was  an  Irishman, 
as  his  Native,  and  thereupon  entered  into  possession  of  the  said  lands.

Consensu  proborum. — This  grant  was  probably  made  prior  to  the  year  1247,  in 
which,  by  a  Royal  Charter,  the  men  of  Drogheda,  on  the  Meath  side  of  the  Boyne, 
obtained  the  privilege  of  electing  annually  their  Seneschal  and  Provosts.  (D' Al- 
ton's Drogheda,  vol.  i.  p.  151).  At  this  time  the  Probi  of  this  grant  were  probably 
analogous  to  the  Commons,  and  the  Discreti  viri  to  the  Aldermen,  of  other  corpora- 
tions. It  would  seem,  also,  that  there  was  no  seal  belonging  to  the  body.  Henry 
Macgormon  may  have  been  the  possessor  of  Gormanstown,  which  the  Prestons  after- 
wards acquired  from  Sir  Almaric  de  St.  Amand.  It  is  evident,  from  this  charter,  that 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  Probi  of  Drogheda  extended  into  the  adjacent  district.     The

part  of  Drogheda,  on  the  North  side  of  the  Boyne,  Avas  called  De  Ponte  ex  parte  Uriel, 
or,  De  Ponte  Ferrardi,  from  its  situation  in  the  territory  of  Ferrard.  In  this  North 
part  of  Drogheda  was  situated  the  Franciscan  Friary  of  Drogheda,  Avhere  were  com- 
piled the  Annals  de  Ponte  Ferrardi,  called  hitherto  Annales  de  Monte  Fernandi,  or  the 
Annals  of  Multifernam. — See  note  following. 

Page  66,  line  20. 

De  Ponte It  would  now  be  difficult  to  discover  the  reasons  why  the  Annals  in- 
scribed "  Annales  de  Monte  Fernandi,"  were  called  the  Annals  of  Multifernam. 

There  is  no  reason  for  believing  that  the  Franciscan  Friary  of  Multifernam  was 
ever  called  de  Monte  Fernandi,  a  name,  which  its  situation  in  a  low  valley  would  ren- 
der singularly  inapplicable.  Multifernam  was  founded  by  the  Delamars,  a  name  which 
does  not  occur  in  the  Annals  de  Monte  Fernandi;  and  these  Annals  make  frequent 
mention  of  families  whom  we  cannot  trace  in  the  neighbourhood  of  Multifernam. 
These  obvious  objections  to  the  common  title,  and  the  frequent  mention  of  the  family 
of  Dexter,  induced  Ware,  and  Usher,  and  Molyneux,  to  suspect  that  these  Annals 
were  compiled  in  the  Dominican  Friary  of  Strade,  in  Mayo.  This  supposition  would 
do  away  altogether  with  the  common  title,  and  is  inconsistent  Avith  the  evidence  con- 
tained in  the  Annals  that  they  were  the  work  of  a  Franciscan.  By  the  change  of  only 
two  letters  in  the  title  all  difficulties  may  be  overcome.  That  part  of  Drogheda  which 
lies  on  the  north  side  of  the  Boyne,  in  the  Barony  of  Ferrard,  was  called  De  Ponte 
Ferrardi,  to  distinguish  it  from  the  villa  De  Ponte  on  the  south  side  of  the  river. — 
D' Alton,  vol.  i.  p.  146.  On  this,  the  north  side  of  the  Boyne,  was  situated  the  Fran- 
ciscan Friary  of  Drogheda,  and  it  may  be  assumed  that  this  friary  was  called  de  Ponte 
Ferrardi,  as  long  as  the  distinction  between  the  two  sides  of  the  river  was  continued ; 
and  that  this  name  became  obsolete  when  both  boroughs  were  consolidated.  If  these 
Annals  were  compiled  in  Drogheda,  the  frequent  and  familiar  mention  of  the  Dexters, 
the  Lords  of  Stackallan  (D' Alton,  vol.  i.  p.  90),  and  the  builders  of  Castle  Dexter,  and 
the  namers  of  Carrig  Dexter,  is  easily  accounted  for ;  and  as  the  Dexters  of  Meath  were 
most  probably  connected  with  the  Dexters  or  the  Jordans  of  Connaught,  the  notices  of 
Connaught  affairs  may  be  traced  to  the  same  origin.  Although,  for  convenient  reference, 
these  Annals  may  still  be  quoted  as  the  Annals  of  Multifernan,  by  which  name  they 
have  been  called  by  Ussher,  Ware,  Nicolson,  and  Smith,  we  think  that  their  proper 
title  is  "  Annales  de  Ponte  Ferrardi,"  and  that  the  Franciscan  Friary  of  Drogheda  is 
entitled  to  the  honour  of  their  comj^ilation.

Waleranus  de  Welleslegh. — In  Lynch's  Feudal  Dignities,  p.  69,  reference  is  made 
to  this  charter,  as  existing  in  the  office  of  the  Town  Clerk,  where  it  is  not  now  to  be 
found.  Crevaghe,  or  Crewath,  is  now  Cruagh.  In  the  charter  of  Hen.  III.,  deafFo- 
resting  the  lands  of  the  Archbishop,  Crevache  is  called  the  land  of  Richard  de  Sancto 
Michaele,  from  whose  family  Wellesley  had  acquired  it. 

It  may,  perhaps,  be  thought  allowable  in  the  Editor  to  insert  here  an  agreement

of  Trim.    It  is  taken  from  Alan's  Registry,  College  copy,  p.  18.
