PREFACE. 
 
 This volume contains a Calendar of all instruments and 
 entries relating to Ireland found, from 1171 to 1251 in- 
 clusive, upon or among the Public Records of England. 
 To the official recommendation of the late Lord Romillv, 
 to whom the public owes so much in regard to Calendars, 
 approved of in 1872 by the Lords of Her Majesty's Trea- 
 sury, this Calendar owes its origin. .It was commenced 
 in April 1873. 
 
 The vast mass of documents now concentrated at the 
 Public Record Office refers in some respects to many 
 countries ; but with the single exception of England herself, 
 we find in it more ancient instruments and entries relating 
 to Ireland than to any country. Some of the reasons why 
 this should be are not far to seek : — 1st, England having 
 assumed the government of Ireland in 1171, more than 
 seven centuries ago, and subsequently continued it, we 
 might naturally expect to find among the muniments of 
 England many records relating to that government; 
 2ndly, royal grants affecting Ireland when passed under 
 the Great Seal of England would, we apprehend after the 
 practice, so to speak, of Records became settled, be gene- 
 rally enrolled, like grants affecting the latter country, on 
 the English Patent or Charter Rolls ; 3rdly, mandates 
 emanating directly from the Sovereign in relation to Ire- 
 land would, after the same period, be enrolled, like man- 
 dates affecting England, on the Close Rolls. Now these 
 two classes, namely, grants and mandates, include, we 
 
Yiii 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 believe, by far the largest portion of the ancient English 
 Public Records relating to Ireland ; 4thly, records of judg- 
 ments and orders passed or made in England on cases and 
 appeals from Ireland would naturally be enrolled here; 
 accordingly we have in this volume references to early 
 entries of this kind, and the number will probably increase 
 hereafter. The reasons above given may perhaps explain 
 why records of some of the documents in question should 
 be found in England ; but the presence here of the many 
 which remain must be differently accounted for. 
 
 We append to this preface No. I. a Table of Public 
 Records containing instruments and entries relating to 
 Ireland, abstracts of which are given in this volume ; we 
 also append a Table No. II. of persons who have edited 
 a part of those instruments and entries, and a Table 
 No. III. of persons who to our knowledge have given their 
 attention or referred to portions of them in their works. 
 
 Ere we proceed to notice some of those instruments 
 and entries we beg to premise a few words by way of 
 explanation. 
 
 To persons unacquainted with ancient records, it may 
 be desirable to state that those abstracted in this volume 
 are all written in mediaeval Latin and in the usual ab- 
 breviated court hand. One of the peculiarities to be 
 found in writing of the olden time is the uncertainty of 
 spelling. The name of Shakspere for instance was, as 
 is well known, variously spelt, and Sir Walter Raleigh 
 is stated to have written his own name in different ways 
 at different times. If this was so in the reigns of Eliza- 
 beth and James I., what must have been the uncertainty 
 of spelling more than three centuries previously, in the 
 period from Henry II. to Henry III. ? The Anglo-Norman 
 scribes, especially if they wrote from dictation, must have 
 found it difficult to render Irish names of persons and 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 ix 
 
 places ; and hence we find great variance in this respect. 
 The name of Connaught for instance, a comparatively 
 simple one, will be found rendered in five or six different 
 ways at least. The plan which the Editor adopted in this 
 respect has been generally to write the name as contained 
 on the record, to combine in the index all the names 
 which he believed to refer to the same place or person, 
 and occasionally to give between brackets his own version 
 of the name. But each reader is of course entitled to 
 draw his conclusions from the name as given from the 
 Record. In regard to topographical names, the Editor does 
 not deem it a necessary part of his duty to identify all the 
 Irish names of places that occur. He is not acquainted 
 with Irish, and the various and all engrossing exigencies of 
 this work have prevented him from devoting much time to 
 this point. He has, however, endeavoured to identify some, 
 and he is indebted to Mr. W. M. Hennessy, M.R.I.A., of 
 the Public Record Office of Ireland, a distinguished Irish 
 scholar, to whom he begs here to return his best thanks, 
 for most kindly and ably enabling him to identify others. 
 The Editor must leave the identification of those which 
 remain to Irish archaeologists. It may not be out of place 
 to mention here that the Editor has been led into error by 
 the abbreviated form of May, which appears more than 
 once on the Rolls, and by a footnote to p. 505 of Archdall's 
 Irish Monasticon, in rendering in English the name of the 
 Monastery de Magio. That monastery was not situated in 
 the county of Mayo, but was that of Maigue, so styled 
 from the river on which it stood, or more commonly called 
 Monasternenagh, in the county of Limerick. The Editor 
 unfortunately discovered this mistake too late to correct it 
 in a portion of the text, but he has not failed to do so in 
 the Table of Corrigenda at the end of the volume. 
 
 We have only to add that the abstracts have in general 
 
X 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 been made very full, so as to comprise, it is believed, every- 
 thing of importance in the documents. In reference to 
 dates, wherever the record contained one it has been given, 
 otherwise the date has been taken from that of the roll ; 
 and when the Editor has himself ventured to assign a date 
 to the abstract of an undated document, he has inserted 
 it between brackets in the margin. 
 
 We read in Hoveden that, in 1171, King Henry II. 
 having collected a large fleet ordered it to assemble in the 
 port of Milford, near Pembroke. He himself having 
 gathered a great army of horse and foot came to the latter 
 place to meet his ships, and with his army embarked on 
 Saturday the 16th November 1171. On the next day, the 
 17th November (Giraldus Cambrensis and Matthew Paris 
 say the 18th), he landed at Crook, near "Waterford. 
 
 This volume opens with extracts from the Pipe Rolls 
 of 17, 18, and 19 Henry II. (Nos. 1-40), of accounts of 
 money paid by the sheriffs and others in various counties of 
 England for hogs, wheat, and oats, beans, cheese, and other 
 supplies, for this army of Ireland, as it is called ; of pay to 
 masters, seamen, and equippers of ships to carry supplies ; 
 hire of ships, canvas and apparel for them ; and payments 
 for horses and their passage ; axes, handmills, wooden 
 towers, bridges, spades, pickaxes, and nails, &c., all for 
 Ireland. 
 
 After very curious accounts of articles sent to the king 
 in Ireland, we have, in No. 34, payments of 40£. for her- 
 rings bought at Wexford, and of 55s. lid for horses and 
 garments for Robert, Richard, and Roger, the king's 
 fowlers. No. 37 contains payments of 781. 18s. 6d., to 
 buy garments for 163 cottagers, who were in the king's 
 service in Ireland; 26s. 2d. for furbishing the king's 
 swords, and gold to adorn them, and 40s. in sterling silver 
 for their points and hilts. In No. 39, the sheriff of Hamp-

 shire renders his account of 61. for delivering the hostage 
 of the son of the King of Cork ; corody for the same, for 
 Murtough Mac Morrough, and burgesses of Wexford, one 
 night at "Winchester, 6s. 8d. ; corodies for the same for 10 
 nights, 40s. ; and six robes for Murtough Mac Morrough, 
 and the burgesses of Wexford, 10/. 14s. lid, all by the 
 king's writ. No. 40 contains items of 45s. for eight ships to 
 carry over 20 knights and five attendants who went with 
 Adam the Archbishop into Ireland ; of 27s. 6d. for the 
 passage into Ireland of William Eitz Aldelm, his associates, 
 and their armour ; and of 8s. for that of the Archbishop of 
 Dublin. In Nos. 72 and 73, we have the following items : — . 
 paid for the passage into Ireland of the knights and 
 attendants of John, the king's son, 34/., by the king's writ ; 
 for fully making up 1,600 crannocks of wheat, which the 
 king gave to John, his son, to carry with him into Ireland, 
 9/. and 12d. ; paid to Robert Ruffus and other attendants 
 of John, the king's son, to procure requisites for his bake- 
 house and kitchen, 91. 5s. ; carrying them from Gloucester 
 to Bristol, 6s. ; cost of conveying the harness of the king's 
 son, 8s. ; and corodies for the king's son and his house- 
 hold while staying at Gloucester, 40/. and 14c/. For other 
 items of this kind we must refer to the abstracts themselves, 
 Nos. 1-84. 
 
 In connexion with this expedition to Ireland, the 
 feudal exaction known as scutage (described in Madox's 
 Hist, of the Exchequer, Vol. I., p. 629) was levied out of 
 knights' fees in the counties of England. It was called the 
 " Scutage of Ireland," in the same sense as we have sub- 
 sequently the scutages of Wales, of Scotland, and of Poitou, 
 and amounted, according to the Red Book, to 20s., a 
 knight's fee. The accounts relating to it are entered at 
 great length on the Pipe Rolls. The first mention of this 
 scutage of Ireland occurs under the county of Lancaster ; 
 
xii PREFACE. 
 
 Pipe 18, Henry II., Hot. 5 dors. (No. 26) ; from No. 43, it 
 appears that the Bishop of London owed 20/. for this 
 scutage, and 17/. 16s. Sd. for scutage, which he did not 
 acknowledge to be dne. In No. 47, the citizens of London 
 render their account of 100/. 34s. 4d, of the " gift " of the 
 city for this scutage ; this account is continued in Nos. 49, 
 57, 61, 68, and 77. Several persons are charged to this 
 exaction under the general title of " scutage of knights 
 " who neither went into Ireland, nor sent knights or 
 " money thither ; " on the other hand we have in Nos. 4, 
 10, and 24 accounts of money levied out of the lands of 
 persons who went into that country against the king's 
 command. 
 
 The accounts of this scutage are continued through 15 
 subsequent Pipe Rolls of Henry II., and even occasionally 
 occur on those for Richard I. to that for the 10th year of 
 his reign. The Editor had taken from these accounts 
 extracts to the number of upwards of 230, but on conside- 
 ration has deemed it advisable to omit them for these, 
 among other reasons, because what is called the scutage 
 of Ireland concerns England more than that country ; and 
 the printing of these abstracts would have overburdened 
 the text and index of this volume with a multitude of 
 names, most of which would probably be of little interest 
 in Ireland. 
 
 In No. 38 we have abstracts of three letters from Pope 
 Alexander III. on the conquest of Ireland. The first is 
 to the Papal Legate and the four archbishops of that 
 country, exhorting them to aid the king in governing it ; 
 the second is to the king himself, admonishing him to 
 remove certain practices, to recall the people to the wor- 
 ship of Christian faith, and to preserve and enlarge the 
 rights of the church ; the thud is to the kings and princes 
 of Ireland, exhorting them to persevere in their fealty to

 the King of England. No. 50 refers to an undated charter 
 of grant from Henry II. to the Abbey of Mellifont. It 
 is difficult to fix precisely the date of this charter. 
 
 The entries on the Pipe Rolls, the three papal letters and 
 the charter above referred to, comprise all that we have 
 been able to find relating to Ireland for the reign of 
 Henry II. The reign of Richard I. which follows is bar- 
 ren of records relating to Ireland, and, save the accounts 
 of scutage on the Pipe Rolls already mentioned, nothing 
 relating to that country has been found during any part 
 of that monarch's reign. 
 
 We now come to the reign of John, in which instru- 
 ments and entries relating to Ireland become much more 
 numerous and diversified, for in it commence the great 
 series of Patent, Close, and Charter Rolls. Copies of all 
 the entries on the Patent, Close and Charter Rolls, for this 
 reign, and of those on the Close Rolls to the 11th year of 
 Henry III., have as mentioned in list No. II., been printed, 
 under the Record Commission of 1831, in four volumes 
 folio, by Sir Thomas Duff us Hardy, the present Deputy 
 Keeper of Records. These volumes are among the most 
 valuable contributions to record knowledge that have ever 
 been given. At the end of entries on the Patent, Close, 
 and Charter Rolls generally, and occasionally on other 
 Rolls, the names of places where the instruments and 
 entries were dated are given. These places are of impor- 
 tance, because until the reign of Richard II. they show 
 where the early monarchs were at the date mentioned. 
 In the introduction to his printed volume of Patent Rolls 
 Sir T. D. Hardy fully enters into this subject, and gives 
 us from these places a very valuable itinerary of King 
 John, showing at a glance where that monarch was on 
 most of the days of his reign. These names of places have 
 been retained in the abstracts, but, none of them relating 
 
xiv PREFACE. 
 
 to Ireland, it has been thought unnecessary to enter 
 them in the index. 
 
 The items contained in that index, and especially those 
 under the general titles of the King, Ireland, and the various 
 justiciaries (of whom a list follows the index), will give 
 references to abstracts of many important documents re- 
 lating to Ireland of the reign of John ; but among them, 
 those referring to the following persons and matters, may 
 perhaps be entitled to especial attention as being important 
 or remarkable in themselves, or as materially illustrating 
 the history of that monarch's reign in connexion with 
 Ireland. Those persons and matters are : — Walter de 
 Lacy, John de Courcy, Hugh de Lacy ; the king's Scotch 
 adherents in Ireland; the king's passage to Ireland in 
 1210, and the entries from the Prestita Roll of the same 
 date ; his dealing or relations with the church ; his deal- 
 ings with Irish kings and magnates ; grants and mandates 
 generally ; legal matters, and miscellaneous. We there- 
 fore proceed to notice in the order we have indicated some 
 of the abstracts relating to those persons and matters. 
 
 The first mention which we find of Walter de Lacy's 
 name is in a mandate to the justiciary of Ireland dated 
 4th September 1199, and commanding him to inquire 
 whether Henry Tirol had sided with John de Courcy and 
 W. de Lacy (the initial only of his Christian name is given) 
 and aided them in destroying the king's land of Ireland 
 (No. 90) ; in 204 we find the names of hostages given for 
 Walter; 402 is a remarkable document containing his 
 submission offered by his emissaries to the king at Dublin, 
 June 28, 1210 ; 596 refers to a deed of agreement July 5, 
 1215, made between the king and him ; and in 628 the 
 king receives him into grace, and restores his lands, July 
 28, same year. 
 
 As to John de Courcy, the justiciary and Walter de 
 
PREFACE.

 Lacy are commanded to cause him to come to the king's 
 service ; if he does not do so they shall cause judgment in 
 the king's court to he taken out against him ; and if it 
 deprives him of his land, they shall cause eight cantreds 
 thereof to he given to Walter and Hugh de Lacy (224) ; 
 in the next entry the Barons of Ulster are commanded to 
 cause John to come to the king's service (225) ; then 
 follows a grant dated November 13, 1204, to Walter and 
 Hugh de Lacy of eight cantreds in Ulster (240) ; and we 
 next have the names of hostages for John de Courcy, of 
 Ulster (259). The latter appears subsequently to have 
 come to the king's service, for there is a prest of 20 marks 
 paid at Dublin to Richard cle Chambre on John's behalf 
 (409) ; and the justiciary is commanded to provide Afirica, 
 his wife, with ]and for her maintenance (482). 
 
 In reference to Hugh de Lacy there is a charter of grant 
 to him, dated May 29, 1205, of the land of Ulster, whereof 
 the king had belted him earl, to hold as John de Courcy 
 held it when Hugh conquered and took him prisoner in the 
 field (263 and 260) ; the king shortly afterwards directs 
 the justiciary to place reliance on Hugh's representations 
 regarding the king's interests ( 268) ; but the king sub- 
 sequently writes to Hugh that he will appropriate this 
 land, as Walter de Lacy had not paid the fine which he 
 had made with the king for its restoration, though the 
 king had been a long time in his neighbourhood (550) . 
 
 Of the king's Scotch adherents in Ireland we have men- 
 tion of Alan of Galloway, and of Thomas Earl of Athol, 
 his brother. To the first the king granted no less than 
 140 knights' fees in the North of Ireland, near the Bann, 
 which the Bishop of Norwich [as justiciary] delivered, 
 in May or June 1212, to persons on his behalf at Carrick- 
 fergus before the knights and men of the province (427) ; 
 the forest, fairs, and markets belonging to that land were 
 i. b 
 
xvi PREFACE. 
 
 also granted to him (463). To the Earl of Athol there is 
 a grant of O'Neill's lands in Kenlion [Kinel-Owen] (468) ; 
 six knights' fees (474) and other lands, all in the North 
 of Ireland (565). 
 
 The Misge Roll of the 11th of John gives the first intima- 
 tion of that monarch's intended passage to Ireland, for we 
 find on it items for 45 dozen skins of parchment to be 
 carried with the king into that country. There are also 
 items for making a scarlet cape for the king, and thread 
 for William the tailor (400). To collect the army which 
 accompanied the king to Ireland feudal exactions were 
 put in force, and each holder of a knight's fee in the 
 counties of England who did not present himself had to 
 pay a fine amounting, as stated in one place, to 40s. a fee. 
 The accounts of this exaction are entered at great length 
 on the Pipe Roll of the 12th of John, under the general 
 title of Eines or Scutage for the Passage of Ireland, and 
 are continued on the Pipe Rolls of the 13th, 14th, 15th, 
 and 16th John. There is subsequently on each of the 
 Pipe Rolls of the 8th, 10th, 11th, and 13th Henry III. 
 one entry relating to the passage of Ireland. The Editor 
 had taken extracts of all the entries relating to this pas- 
 sage, but for the same reasons which actuated him in regard 
 to the entries of the scutage of Ireland in the previous 
 reign of Henry II. he has deemed it advisable to omit 
 most of them. 
 
 The Prestita Roll of the 12th of John, a copy of which 
 has been edited by Sir Thomas Hardy under the Record 
 Commission, gives much information regarding the move- 
 ments of that king when on his way to, and while in, Ireland. 
 We find on it accounts of moneys paid for fees to officials ; 
 prests {i.e. loans or advances) to knights and mariners, 
 and pay to soldiers of the king's army, with the names 
 of places in Ireland where, and the date when, those pay- 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xvii 
 
 ments were made. The abstracts taken from this roll 
 are to be found in Nos. 401, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 409, 
 410, and 418. 
 
 The entries on this roll are all the more valuable, 
 because owing to some lamentable mischance the Patent, 
 Close, Charter, and Pine Rolls for the 12th of John, being 
 in fact all the principal Chancery Records of that period, 
 are not to be found at the Public Record Office, and are 
 even supposed not to exist ; the same may be said of those 
 rolls for the 11th and 13th of John ; and as regards the 
 Close Rolls for the 10th of John also. That they once 
 existed can scarcely be doubted. We have thus lost, as 
 regards the rolls for the 12th of John, records of all the 
 grants and mandates regarding Ireland made by that king 
 when actually present in that country for some months in 
 1210. Among these would doubtless have been found 
 records of the appointment of John de Grey, Bishop of 
 Norwich, as justiciary of Ireland ; of the charter of King 
 John, mentioned hereafter in No. 1602, which the mag- 
 nates of that country sw x ore to obey, touching the obser- 
 vance of English laws and customs in Ireland ; and most 
 probably some information regarding the preferment of 
 Henry de Londres to the see of Dublin. 
 
 The Prestita Roll above referred to contains an army 
 list, as it were, of the king's knights who were with him 
 in Ireland ; but the names are so numerous, that it has 
 been thought expedient merely to give selections from 
 them, though all the names had been copied by the Editor. 
 It is curious that among those names are to be found 
 several existing in Ireland at the present day, such as 
 Mara, Staunton, Darcy, Butler, Rochfort [de Rupe Porti], 
 Savage [Salvagius], Barnewall, Barry, Clery, Pitz Simon, 
 and others ; but this is a point which must be left to 
 genealogists.

xviii PREFACE. 
 
 In regard to John's relations or dealings with the 
 church, there appear to be no records of regular licences 
 to elect or conges d'elire, and few of royal assents to elec- 
 tions to Irish sees in this reign, hut the records referred 
 to in the following abstracts are, among others, worthy of 
 attention. 
 
 We have first references to some documents evidencing 
 a controversy between the king and the church regarding 
 the archbishopric of Armagh. In No. 168, August 15, 
 1202, the king writes to the Papal Legate that certain 
 Irish bishops therein named and the Archdeacon of Ar- 
 magh, having shown a manifest desire to work against 
 the king's right and dignity in regard to that see, the 
 king renewed the appeal he had made ; No. 177 refers to 
 a document remarkable for being in the form of a grant 
 (the words being Noveritis nos concessisse) to Master 
 Humphrey, of Tickhill, of the church of Armagh and the 
 primacy of Ireland; in No. 178 the king commands the 
 suffragans of Armagh to join him in his appeal regarding 
 Eugene called elect of Armagh, who had gone to Home 
 that he might be promoted to that see, and by no means 
 to receive him as archbishop ; in No. 200 the king ap- 
 proves of Ralph Archdeacon of Meath, who with two 
 others had been elected or nominated for this see; but 
 Eugene was nevertheless actually preferred to the arch- 
 bishopric, for in No. 331 the king sends him, under the 
 title of Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, to 
 execute the episcopal office in the see of Exeter ; and in 
 No. 338 letters of protection are granted to him as arch- 
 bishop. 
 
 In No. 276 the king commands the justiciary to restore 
 to John Archbishop of Dublin all the lands and liberties 
 which he had when dissension first arose between him and 
 the king regarding foresters. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xix 
 
 Having learnt the death of Matthew Archbishop of 
 Cashel, the king notifies to the chapter and suffragans 
 his approval of Albin Bishop of Eerns as successor, and 
 directs them to hasten his promotion (291) ; the king's 
 directions, however, in this respect do not appear to have 
 been carried into effect. 
 
 In No. 444 the king commands William Marshall, Earl 
 of Pembroke, in reference to his council as to establishing 
 the peace of the church, that he notify under what form 
 it seemed meet to the common council of the king's 
 subjects of Ireland that this peace should be confirmed 
 without detriment to the king's independence and rights. 
 
 Then follows a very remarkable declaration of the mag- 
 nates of Ireland regarding the Pope, No. 448. This docu- 
 ment is undated, but the names of the magnates clearly 
 point to the reign of John. This being so, the Editor has 
 no doubt that it refers to the controversy between that 
 king and the church regarding the preferment of Stephen 
 Langton to the see of Canterbury, and has therefore 
 assigned to it the date of in or about 1212, in which year, 
 according to Hume, the Pope actually took the step, 
 which the magnates had heard he was about to take, of 
 absolving the subjects of the king from their fealty. 
 
 No. 475, July 30, 1213, refers to a grant by the king 
 to Henry Archbishop of Dublin of the bishopric and 
 Abbey of Glendalough, saving for his life to Abbot Thomas 
 his tenement of half a cantred, with other grants to the 
 archbishop. In 481 the king commands that archbishop 
 honourably to entertain the Archbishop of Tuam, so long 
 as he shall be in exile and remain with him. 
 
 No. 489, October 3, 1213, is an abstract of the well 
 known charter of King John, whereby he offers to God, 
 the church, and the Pope his kingdoms of England and 
 Ireland, and taking them back as fees swears fealty there- 
 
XX PREFACE. 
 
 for to the Pope. In token thereof the church shall yearly 
 receive in lieu of service 1,000 marks sterling, namely, 
 700 for England and 300 for Ireland. The king binds 
 himself and his successors, on pain of forfeiting their 
 right to the kingdom, never to contravene this grant. 
 
 Then immediately follows (490) a writ of Liberate to 
 the treasurer and chamberlains for payment to the Legate 
 of 1,000 marks of the farm of England and Ireland, being, 
 as it would seem, the first year's payment of the annual 
 tribute or subsidy to the pope mentioned in the previous 
 number. 
 
 No. 521 refers to a bull of Pope Innocent [III.], Oct. 28, 
 1214, commanding the archbishops, bishops, abbots, pre- 
 lates, princes, earls, barons, knights, and people of Ireland 
 to preserve in fealty to John King of the English. No. 
 566, June 27, 1215, relates to a grant to the canons of the 
 church of St. Patrick in the suburbs of Dublin of the 
 church of Crumlin which the King, when Earl of Morton, 
 had given as a prebend to the former church, and No. 621 
 July 13, same year, to one to the church of the Holy 
 Trinity, Dublin [Christ Church], and to the Archbishop of 
 Dublin, of the cantred of Okonach' [Old Connaught, near 
 Bray] with the vill and advowson of Tibrary ; No. 649, 
 Sept. 6, same year, is an abstract of a grant of vills 
 and two islands in the sea to Patrick's church, Cashel, 
 and to Donat archbishop thereof ; while in No. 651 the 
 king urgently begs the Cardinal Stephen de Eossa Nova 
 to let Henry Archbishop of Dublin have 500 marks on 
 loan. 
 
 The following are some of the abstracts referring to 
 the king's dealings with the native kings and princes of 
 Ireland. In No. 205, about March 1203-4, John writes to 
 the King of Connaught that he will hold good whatever 
 the justiciary of Ireland and the Archdeacon of Stafford 
 
PREFACE. xxi 
 
 may do by counsel of Walter de Lacy regarding matters 
 between the king and the King of Connaught. 
 
 In No. 222, Aug. 31, 1204, the king approves of a quit- 
 claim or release to be made to him by the king of 
 Connaught of two-thirds of Connaught, the other third 
 to remain to the latter at a yearly rent of 100 marks ; 
 and the king commands the justiciary to select for his use 
 the two-thuds in which lie the best towns and harbours 
 and which are fittest for fortifying castles, &c. ; No. 279 
 refers to further negotiations on the subject. 
 
 In No. 385 the king commands the King of Connaught 
 and the other kings and magnates of Ireland to give 
 credence to what the Bishop of Perns, the justiciary of 
 Ireland, and Philip of Worcester shall tell them on the 
 king's behalf ; and Nos. 509 and 530 contain protection 
 for Cathal, King of Connaught. In No. 531 the Archbishop 
 of Dublin is commanded to buy scarlet cloth for robes for 
 the kings of Ireland ; No. 654, Sept. 13, 1215, contains an 
 abstract of the king's charter of grant to the King of 
 Connaught of the land of Connaught, rendering yearly to 
 the king at the Exchequer, Dublin, 300 marks, with a re- 
 servation of the Castle of Athlone ; and in No. 656 the king 
 directs certain persons to receive from the King of Con- 
 naught 2,500 marks, being the amount due at Michaelmas 
 out of 5,000 marks for which the land of Connaught had 
 been granted to the latter ; with further mandate to take 
 from him 12 marks for the chancellor's fee. 
 
 We now come to grants of lands in Ireland. The 
 Charter Rolls show that, especially in the beginning of his 
 reign, John bestowed them profusely among his adherents. 
 In addition to those we have already drawn attention to, the 
 following may be noticed : — Grant to Thomas Pitz Maurice 
 of five knights' fees in the cantred of Pontimel (93) ; to 
 William of Naas of the castle of Karakitel, with knights' 
 
X xii PREFACE. 
 
 fees (94) ; to "William de Burgh, the father no doubt of 
 the great Richard de Burgh, of Ardpatrick, the residue of 
 the cantred of Eontimel (95), and of the Castle of Tibrach' 
 
 (122) ; to Milo le Bret of lands near Dublin with licence 
 to take foxes and hares in the forest of Ireland (100) ; 
 to Hugh Hose of land without the city of Dublin between 
 the stone gate near the bridge and the grange lands of the 
 canons of the Holy Trinity, &c. (121) ; to William de 
 Breouse of the honor of Limerick (147) ; for this grant 
 William gave to the king 5,000 marks (146) ; to William 
 de Barry of three cantreds in Corcaia [Cork] to hold by the 
 service of ten knights (340) ; to Jordan Lochard of the 
 land of Kilsanehan to hold of the king, by the service of 
 one archer to be rendered in guarding the city of Dublin 
 (346) ; to Philip de Prendergast of 40 knights' fees, of 
 which 15 were between Cork and Insovenach' (348) ; to 
 William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, of his land of Leinster, 
 to hold by the service of 100 knights (381) ; to the king of 
 Man of one knight's fee on the sea near Carlingford, which 
 the Bishop of Norwich assigned to him, and of 100 seams 
 of wheat receivable at Drogheda (428) ; to persons who 
 had taken lands from the citizens of Limerick that they 
 might have and hold those lands (579) ; to Muriard 
 OBren [O'Brien] of cantreds in Thomond (629 and 669) ; 
 and to Richard de Burgh of all the land of Connaught 
 which William his father held of the king (653). 
 
 Of grants to monasteries and religious bodies we have 
 besides others those to the Knights Templars (85) ; the 
 Knights Hospitallers of Ireland of liberties similar to those 
 previously granted to the Knights Hospitallers of England 
 
 (123) ; the Monastery of Mary, Dublin (127, 130, and 131) ; 
 the Abbot of Glendalough (132) ; the Abbey de Magio 
 [Monasternenagh or Maigue], lands in the county of 
 Limerick and elsewhere (136), this grant is remarkable for 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xxiii 
 
 the great number of Irish names of places it mentions. In 
 No. 220 we have the king's confirmation of the union 
 entered into between the convent of St. Peter of Bath and 
 the Hospital of St. John of Waterford. Curious particulars 
 follow of the articles of union. 
 
 The grants to cities and towns comprise four to Dublin, 
 namely, of metes, liberties, franchises, and fishing (138 and 
 577), of a fair (510) ; and of power to make a bridge over 
 the Liffey (511) ; one to the burgesses of the bridge of 
 Drogheda of the law of breteill' [bridge-toll] (473) ; and 
 a similar grant to the burgesses of Dungarvan (578) . 
 
 Of grants of appointments we have those of Meyler 
 Eitz Henry as justiciary of Ireland (133) ; of John Mar- 
 shall as Marshal (353) ; of Henry Archbishop of Dublin 
 as justiciary (466) ; and of Geoffrey de Mariscis also as 
 justiciary (608). 
 
 Mandates relating to Ireland in this reign are numerous 
 and multifarious. No. 125 contains one to all persons 
 holding lands in the Marches to fortify their castles other- 
 wise the king will seize their lands. In No. 235 the king 
 commands Walter de Lacy to deliver to the justiciary the 
 city of Limerick committed to William de Breouse, as the 
 king could not maintain peace in Connaught and Cork 
 unless he held that city in his hand. Mandate to the 
 justiciary to cause an inquisition to be taken whether the 
 Castle of Kilmehal [Kilmallock] and certain cantreds 
 belong to the kingdom of Cork or the kingdom of 
 Limerick, and if to the former the justiciary shall take 
 them into the king's hand as his demesne (289). No 
 market established in Ireland after the king's passage into 
 England shall be held (349). Mandate to William, Earl 
 of Pembroke, to come to the king at Chester with J ohn 
 Bishop of Norwich and the king's Irish subjects. They 
 shall bring 200 knights and such a force of foot and horse, 
 
xxiv 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 with supplies, as may prove to the king that they desire 
 his advancement and the confusion of his enemies (435). 
 Mandate to the Archhishop of. Dublin, then justiciary, to 
 inspect the king's charter to Richard de Burgh, and the 
 letters of the Bishop of Norwich, formerly justiciary, and 
 according to their tenor to cause seisin of Richard's Irish 
 land to be given to him (506). Then follows a mandate to 
 the justiciary of Ireland to cause to be inquired what pur- 
 prestures [encroachments] had been made in the king's 
 demesne lands of the county of Waterford, by whom, 
 and to cause them to be amended (571). No. 586 refers 
 to a mandate to the justiciary to deliver seisin to Maurice 
 Eitz Gerald of the lands of Gerald, his father, on his giving 
 security for a fine of 60 marks. In 688 the justiciary is 
 commanded to cause to be delivered to William Marshall, 
 Earl of Pembroke, the house of Ernye of the earl's inheri- 
 tance called the Salmon Leap ; and in No. 709 there is a 
 mandate to the same that if he have in his possession hides 
 and wool of the king to the value of 300 marks he deliver 
 them to Henry Archbishop of Dublin. 
 
 As to legal matters in Ireland there are records of but 
 few in this reign. No. 116 refers to an abstract of a 
 curious criminal pleading on the Coram Bege Bolls, one 
 of the very few entries relating to Ireland contained on 
 the earlier rolls of this class. It relates to the murder of 
 William le Brun in the dike of the then castle of Dublin ; 
 and from No. 114 we learn that Bichard Gille Michel and 
 two others gave to the king 66 marks 2s. 3d. for licence 
 to agree in an appeal had against them by Owen le 
 Brun of the death of his father, probably William le 
 Brun above mentioned. 
 
 In No. 126 the king wills that no recognizances be 
 made and no outlawry issue in Ireland save in or by the 
 king's court. No. 209 contains a commission to Walter 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 XXV 
 
 de Lacy and others to hear the complaints of the justiciary 
 against William de Burgh ; the justiciary has been 
 commanded to abide judgment before the justices re- 
 garding William's charges against him ; in No. 213, 
 however, the king grants to William respite of all com- 
 plaints, takes him into Normandy, and orders all his 
 lands and castles in Ireland to be restored to him, saving 
 the land of Connaught which remains in the king's 
 hands during pleasure. In No. 236 the king regulates 
 the issuing of writs by the justiciary, and defines their 
 limitation ; and in No. 328 after giving to the justiciary 
 various orders in criminal cases, he commands him to 
 seize the lands, chattels, and body of Norman Clatere, 
 a citizen of Dublin, who had left that city, and gone to 
 reside on the land of Walter de Lacy. 
 
 Of miscellaneous documents the following may be 
 noticed : — In No. 91 Hamo de Yaloignes gives to the king 
 1,000 marks to have peace touching his Irish account, no 
 doubt as justiciary ; in No. 115, Roger de Ki villi gives 
 to the king 10 besants for letters of protection in going to 
 and trading in Ireland; No. 151 states the amount due 
 by the citizens of Dublin [to the king] as 400i marks, 
 with 5 palfreys and 1 goshawk. It may not be unworthy 
 of remark here that palfreys are frequently mentioned in 
 records of this time as objects of debt ; an ordinary 
 palfrey appears to have stood for 5 marks or SI. 6s. 8d. 9 
 and one of the best for double that amount. In No. 201, 
 the king urges the Irish clergy to give him such an aid 
 against the King of Prance as shall be pointed out to 
 them, and writes similar letters to the earls, barons, 
 knights, citizens, burgesses, and the king's subjects 
 generally in Ireland. 
 
 No. 226, dated about the end of August 1204, is a 
 document of great interest. It contains letters of the 
 
xxvi PREFACE. 
 
 king to the justiciary of Ireland, who had apprised the 
 former that he had no place in which to deposit royal 
 treasure ; the king thereupon commands him to cause a 
 castle to he constructed in Dublin with good dikes and 
 strong walls; and for this purpose to take 300 marks. 
 The king further commands the justiciary to compel the 
 citizens of Dublin to fortify their city, and wills that there 
 be a fair there. 
 
 The letters in No. 315, February 1206-7, are also of 
 interest. In them the king thanks his barons and knights 
 of Meath for the fidelity they had preserved towards him 
 when dissension arose between Walter de Lacy, their 
 lord, and the justiciary of Ireland touching the city of 
 Limerick. The king exhorts them to persevere in that 
 fidelity for he will not bear it lightly that his justiciary 
 suffer damage or dishonour. Similar letters to the barons 
 and knights of Leinster. 
 
 In No. 352, November 9, 1207, the king commands all 
 persons in Ireland not to answer in any court respecting 
 their free tenements save by writ of the king or the 
 justiciary, nor touching any plea of the Crown save before 
 the king, his justiciary, or the justices sent to administer 
 law. The king forbids selling or purchasing by any 
 money save that of Ireland, which he wills to be current 
 throughout the whole kingdom. 
 
 No. 426, May 9, 1212, is an order for delivery from 
 prison of Sir William de Audley, knight, taken prisoner 
 in the Castle of Carrickfergus. References to several 
 other orders of the same kind will be found in the index 
 under the head of the Castle of Carrickfergus. In 674 
 the king commands William de Serlaund, constable of 
 Carrickfergus, to admit the justiciary into that castle with 
 any force he may wish to place in it for its defence. 
 
 We here end our notice of abstracts of Public Records 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xxvii 
 
 relating to Ireland in the reign of John, and now proceed 
 to notice some of the documents of the reign of Henry III. 
 relating to the following subjects or topics in connexion 
 with Ireland : — The king's accession ; the church ; Irish 
 kings and magnates ; justiciaries ; the government of Ire- 
 land ; legal matters ; Hugh de Lacy's war ; the king's in- 
 tended visits to Ireland ; Richard Earl of Pembroke's war ; 
 the king's expedition to Scotland ; his expedition to Wales ; 
 the crusades ; subsidies and aids ; monasteries ; muni- 
 cipalities ; Chancery ; the Mint ; inquisitions ; grants ; 
 mandates ; castles ; commerce ; and miscellaneous. 
 
 Shortly after the coronation of Henry III., October 28, 
 1216, the king writes to the justiciary of Ireland letters 
 which read very like a speech from the throne at the 
 present day. After notifying the death and obsequies of 
 King John, it was, he said, his will to forget the angry 
 feeling which once existed between his father and some of 
 his nobles, and by a renewal of liberties to restore the 
 good days of their ancestors. He had granted to the pre- 
 lates, earls, and barons of England the liberties asked for, 
 and they had returned home rejoicing. In regard to 
 sending the queen mother and his brother to Ireland he 
 should consult his council. The same liberties should be 
 granted to the justiciary and the king's subjects of Ire- 
 land as had been granted to his subjects of England (723). 
 These letters were soon after followed by the grant here- 
 after mentioned to the king's subjects of Ireland of the 
 promised liberties. 
 
 The documents relating to the church are more nume- 
 rous than those relating to any other subject during the 
 36 years of the reign of Henry III. comprised in this 
 volume. We vhave first mandates from the king com- 
 manding the justiciary not to allow Irishmen to be elected 
 or promoted in cathedral churches in Ireland ; the clerics 
 
xxviii 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 of the Archbishop of Dublin and other Englishmen shall 
 be promoted to sees and dignities when vacant (736 and 
 739). The archbishops and bishops of Ireland having, 
 on the other hand, subsequently issued an ordinance that 
 no Englishman should be received as a canon in their 
 churches, Pope Innocent IV. commanded them to revoke 
 their ordinance (3084). 
 
 We have also several documents relating to a dispute 
 in 1219 between an official of the king and Henry Arch- 
 bishop of Dublin regarding the forest of Dublin, com- 
 plaints by the archbishop of false aspersions, &c, and a 
 complaint against him by the citizens of Dublin. 
 
 In No. 849, August 27, 1218, the king had commanded 
 that no forester should be troublesome or burdensome to 
 the archbishop, by exacting food from him, the king 
 granted him freedom from that grievance. In No. 892, 
 however, Thomas Eitz Adam, keeper of the king's forest 
 in Ireland, writes to the Dean of Lichfield that he had 
 requested the archbishop to cause the officials of the 
 forest to feed, as in the reign of King John, the servants 
 placed in the forest for its custody. The archbishop 
 answered that the forest and beasts were his, and that he 
 would not allow his men to feed the servants against his 
 liberty and the rights of his church. In No. 926 Thomas 
 Eitz Adam writes to the king complaining that he had 
 been excommunicated because he had arrested on the 
 archbishop's land a malefactor who from the time of King 
 John had spoiled the forest. Thomas, as he alleges, was 
 persecuted ; intercourse with men and the convenience of 
 towns were denied to him. Then follows a letter from 
 the archbishop to the king complaining of Thomas for 
 afforesting his land, introducing new customs and ex- 
 actions, and seizing his men (932). The king in his 
 pungent reply dated March 10, 1219-20 (933), prays the 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xxix 
 
 archbishop to be as solicitous in preserving the king's 
 rights as he wished the king to be in guarding the arch- 
 bishop's liberties. Had commanded Thomas Fitz Adam 
 to desist from troubling the archbishop with unjust ex- 
 actions, hoping that when they met amends would be 
 made for any trespass against either of them. Nos. 951, 
 1317, 1757, and 1769 had no doubt the effect of ending 
 this controversy with the church of Dublin regarding 
 the forest. By the two last of these, dated respectively 
 November 8, and December 4, 1229, the king commanded 
 that all woods within the lands of the see therein de- 
 scribed should be disafforested. 
 
 Nos. 904 and 925 are letters from the archbishop to the 
 king complaining of false aspersions, reminding the king 
 of his services, and praying that the latter would command 
 his justiciary to refrain from infringing on the possessions 
 and dignities of the archbishop and his church. No. 927 
 is a letter from the archbishop to the Dean of Lichfield on 
 the same subject. The archbishop cannot believe that the 
 king would wish to impair the great liberties conferred on 
 the church by King John, or to revoke those granted by 
 himself in the flower of his youth. 
 
 The complaint of the citizens of Dublin against the 
 archbishop for an infringement of their liberties, dated 
 soon after March 22, 1219-20, will be found referred to 
 in No. 935. 
 
 Later in the year 1219 a controversy having arisen 
 between the king and the Archbishop of Cashel regarding 
 the new vill of Cashel, we have several documents bearing 
 on this poiDt. In No. 920 the Archbishop of Dublin 
 writes to the king that the Archbishop of Cashel being 
 about to depart for Rome had ordered his province to be 
 placed under an interdict and the justiciary to be excom- 
 municated, unless restitution were made to him of the new 
 
XXX 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 vill. The Archbishop of Dublin thereupon supplicates the 
 king by restitution of the vill to withdraw the Archbishop 
 of Cashel from his purpose of proceeding to the pope. 
 The king in his answer dated Jan. 24, 1219-20 (923), 
 thanks the Archbishop of Dubliu for his solicitude in 
 obtaining that the vill should be sequestered into the 
 archbishop's hand until the octaves of Easter. The vill 
 had come into the king's hand by the finding of a jury of 
 persons of the highest station in those parts. The king 
 then being in possession prays the archbishop to restore 
 the vill to him at the expiration of the above term. A 
 bull of Pope Honorius III. follows May 19, 1222, com- 
 manding the Archbishop of Cashel to relax the sentence 
 of interdict he had published against the king's subjects 
 and lands (1034). In No. 1051 the king constitutes the 
 Archbishop of Dublin as his proctor in the cause between 
 the king and the Archbishop of Cashel brought by autho- 
 rity of papal letters touching the vill in question, and will 
 by him hold valid the decree of certain bishops therein 
 named ; and in No. 1633, Nov. 16, 1228, the king remits 
 his claim, and grants the vill in frankalmoign to the then 
 Archbishop of Cashel. 
 
 Then follow documents of various kinds relating to the 
 church, namely : — Protection, April 3, 1225, for the 
 preachers of the fabric of the church of St. Patrick, 
 Dublin, going through Ireland to beg alms for that fabric 
 (1241) ; the king writes to the pope about Dec. 1225, that 
 he is well pleased if it pleases his holiness that the 
 churches of Limerick and Waterford be united ; the seat 
 of the see to remain at Waterford (1337) ; mandate, Jan. 
 18, 1226-27, that when the king shall have received 
 letters from the Archbishop of Armagh testifying that 
 certain of his canons of Louth, excommunicated for con- 
 tumacy and excesses, had persisted for 40 days, the justi-

 xxxi 
 
 ciary shall, according to the custom of England, judge the 
 excommunicated persons by their bodies till they shall 
 have made satisfaction to holy church (1481) ; grant, May 
 21, 1227, in consequence of the poverty of the clergy, that 
 the justiciary may give in place of the king free power to 
 the proper parties to elect to all vacant sees save 11 therein 
 enumerated (1519) ; the king grants, Oct. 10, 1227, so far 
 as in him lies, that the see of Clogher be united to that of 
 Armagh ; and prays the pope to give his consent to the 
 union of the two sees (1559) ; grant accordingly, Peb. 8, 
 1240-41 (2505) ; the king prays Pope Gregory IX., July 
 16, 1228, to consent to the union of the sees of Waterford 
 and Lismore, the bishops of which are so poor that they 
 are obliged to beg without their sees for necessaries (1616) ; 
 inspeximus of three charters of King John, April 13, 1230, 
 granting and confirming to the Archbishop of Dublin the 
 lands and possessions of his see, with the bishopric of 
 Glendalough and liberties and free customs (1787, 1788, 
 and 1789) ; mandate to the abbots, priors, earls, barons, 
 knights, citizens, and burgesses within the see of Dublin 
 to pay tithes for pools and fisheries, as the king did not 
 wish to imperil his soul by withholding such tithes (1798) ; 
 letters of the king to the pope, May 20, 1231, complaining 
 that the bishops of Ireland strove to deprive him of his 
 right of having the custody of vacant sees, and contended 
 that the tenants of the sees should no longer require 
 justice from the king's court (1890) ; bull of Pope Gregory 
 IX., July 20, 1231, prohibiting archbishops and bishops 
 in Ireland from fulminating unjust sentences of excom- 
 munication against the king's justiciaries, sheriffs, and 
 bailiffs (1901) ; letters of the king to the cardinals, Peb. 
 25, 1234-35, respecting 500 marks of the annual tribute 
 to the church, which they felt aggrieved at not being paid 
 to them ; according to King John's charter the whole

 PREFACE. 
 
 amount ought to go to the pope (2252) ; Hubert Bishop 
 of Limerick to the king, praying that he will regard the 
 oppressions brought on his church by Geoffrey de Mariscis 
 and William his son (2267) ; Griffin Bishop of Lismore 
 to the king, beseeching him to avoid Geoffrey de Mariscis, 
 William his son, and others as excommunicated (2268) ; 
 mandate to the justiciary of Ireland, Feb. 10, 1236-37, to 
 hear the complaints of the Bishop of Clogher touching 
 the injuries inflicted on him by the Archbishop of Ar- 
 magh (2377) ; letter of Thomas Bishop of Down to the 
 king, complaining of the exactions of Sir Walter de Burgh, 
 Earl of Ulster; supplicates the king that as preceding 
 bishops of Down were wont to stand against the earls of 
 Ulster in defence of kingly rights, so the king will now 
 give ear to the bishop's grievances. Erom the first coming 
 of the English into Ulster the king's name had been 
 commemorated in each mass throughout the Down diocese, 
 where there are more priests and religious than in any 
 other equal part of Ireland (2551) ; it is difficult to fix 
 precisely the date of this interesting letter which is un- 
 dated. Mandate, Oct. 28, 1243, to the justiciary not to 
 interfere if the Archbishop of Cashel should sue the 
 Bishops of Limerick, Lismore, Killaloe, Ardfert, and 
 Emly, his suffragans, touching their spiritualities ; not to 
 permit the archbishop to disturb the bishops regarding 
 their temporalities, and not to lay his hand on the latter, 
 at the archbishop's mandate, without the king's special 
 order (2640). The Archbishop of Armagh has given two 
 subjects of complaint to the king ; first, because he 
 obtained from the pope that the king's subjects should be 
 sued out of the realm concerning lands and advowsons of 
 churches ; and, secondly, because his petition made men- 
 tion of the king's privilege (2717) ; the Pope having on the 
 king's petition ordered the celebration of the nativity and

 translation of King Edward the Confessor, the king's 
 predecessor, the king prays the Bishop of Killaloe to cause 
 this feast to be solemnly observed in each church of his 
 diocese (2725) ; a similar letter to the Bishop of Waterford 
 (2726) ; letters of the king dated about the end of April 
 1245, expressing his astonishment that through fear of 
 excommunication the justiciary should have deferred to 
 give judgment regarding the disseisin which the Bishop 
 of Cloyne confesses he has wrought against the Bishop 
 of Emly ; the justiciary shall proceed to judgment, amerce 
 the disseisor, and restore seisin to the latter bishop. As 
 for the judges who proceeded in the ecclesiastical court, 
 and the Bishop of Cloyne who prosecuted this plea, the 
 justiciary shall cause them to be arrested and imprisoned 
 (2741) ; June 1, 1245, the magnates of England murmur 
 on account of the oppressions which the pope inflicts on 
 religious men ; having learnt that John Ruffus had been 
 sent to Ireland to cause similar oppressions, the king 
 commands the justiciary not to allow any person bearing 
 papal letters to extort money from religious men, or to 
 do anything which may cause injury to Ireland (2746) ; 
 bull of Pope Innocent IV., July 21, 1245, confirming all 
 the privileges, indulgences, and immunities granted by 
 the papal see to the churches of England and Ireland 
 (2764) ; the Archbishop of Cashel [had stated] that if he 
 found the election to the see of Limerick to be canonical 
 he should confirm it notwithstanding the king's dignity ; 
 he was enjoined to revoke whatever he had attempted in 
 prejudice of the king, and his temporalities were ordered 
 to be taken into the king's hand if he did not recall his 
 error (3125). 
 
 In addition "to the above documents relating to the 
 church in Ireland we have a considerable number of 
 licences to elect, or conges d'elire, and of royal assents

 granted to elections made of archbishops and bishops in 
 various churches. References to these will be found under 
 the titles of the several dioceses in the index. That the 
 formalities of a previous conge d'elire, and of the royal 
 assent to elections were insisted on we have proofs in the 
 documents referred to in Nos. 750, 797, 856, 1838, 1862, 
 1908, 2318, and 2319, 2698, 2769, 2829, 2844, 2933, and 
 2953. 
 
 In reference to Irish kings and magnates we have the 
 following documents. Protection for Kathal, King of 
 Connaught (928 and 1164) ; letter from him to Hubert de 
 Burgh, justiciary of England, assuring the latter that he is 
 anxious to preserve his friendship, and begging of him to 
 agree to his petition to the king (980) ; July 18, 1222, 
 the king accepts the fine of 200 marks which the King of 
 Thomond has made with the justiciary for the land of 
 Thomond, and commands that it be delivered to him 
 (1046) ; same date, grant to him of that land to hold till 
 the king's full age at 100L a year rent, and a fine of 200 
 marks (1050) ; letter of Kathal, King of Connaught, to 
 the king regarding Hugh de Lacy (1174), this will be 
 noticed among the documents relating to the war of the 
 latter; another letter from the same Kathal to the king 
 assuring him of his fidelity and praying that the king will 
 grant to his son Aedth a charter in fee of Connaught, &c. 
 (1184) ; mandate to the justiciary to cause the said Aedth 
 to have for his maintenance on the king's service seisin 
 of lands of William de Lacy, the king's enemy (1195) ; 
 June 30, 1226, mandate to the justiciary to cause 
 Oethus, or Aedth, son of the King of Connaught to be 
 summoned before him at the king's court to surrender 
 the land of Connaught which he ought no longer to hold 
 on account of his father's and his own forfeiture (1402) ; 
 mandate to the justiciary that if it be to the honour and

 advantage of the king lie take a ransom from Iviena, who 
 was the wife of the King of Connaught, for her release 
 from prison, if not that he suffer her to go free (1688) ; 
 Richard de Burgh, justiciary of Ireland, having seized and 
 imprisoned Eedhlim, son of a former King of Connaught, 
 the king commands that he be liberated on finding sureties 
 to abide any charge that may be made against him (1975) ; 
 ere Eedhlim, son of the late King of Connaught, came to 
 England to confer with the king he should strive to take 
 the castle of Miloc ; when the castle should have been 
 taken, Connaught quieted, and both delivered to the jus- 
 ticiary it was the king's pleasure that he should come 
 (2039) ; letters of safe conduct for the said Eedhlim about 
 to come to England to confer with the king (2644 and 
 2738) ; letters of protection for him till the king's arrival 
 in Ireland (2778) ; the king wills that for 2,200 marks, to 
 be rendered to him, Conor O'Brien shall hold during good 
 service the land which his father held by charter of King 
 John (3054) ; the king to O. O'Brien of Thomond ; had 
 commanded his justiciary to inquire regarding the offer he 
 had made of 500£. for a grant in fee of the land which he 
 holds to farm of the king (3114). 
 
 Justiciaries appear to have exercised judicial as well as 
 executive functions in Ireland. A list of those mentioned 
 in this volume follows the index as already stated ; and 
 grouped under their names in the latter will be found 
 references to the principal mandates given to each jus- 
 ticiary for the government of Ireland or otherwise. The 
 first justiciary mentioned in the reign of Henry III. is 
 Geoffrey dc Marisco, who had been appointed in the last 
 year of the reign of John. On April 23, 1219 (No. 872), 
 the king notifies that as Geoffrey was bound to the Crusades 
 and had been called before the king touching the state of 
 Ireland, the care and custody of that country had been 
 
xxxvi 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 committed to Henry Archbishop of Dublin. Geoffrey, 
 however, still continued in office as the mandates addressed 
 to him show. But subsequently on July 17, 1221, the 
 king writes to Thomas Eitz Anthony making certain com- 
 plaints against Geoffrey, in consequence of which he is 
 provoked, he says, to desire that Geoffrey no longer preside 
 over Ireland (1001). On the 4th of October following 
 Geoffrey resigned his office, and in November following 
 surrendered the king's castles (1015). His successor was 
 Henry Archbishop of Dublin (997, 1001), to whom the 
 king on August 8, 1223, wrote letters of complaint, founded 
 on representations of the men of Dublin, regarding certain 
 proceedings of his in the government of Ireland. These 
 things, says the king, are contrary to the king's right and 
 dignity and are more disparaging to the justiciary's fame, 
 because great power had been given to him as the king's lieu- 
 tenant in Ireland. The king therefore commands the jus- 
 ticiary to refrain from these things, otherwise the king will 
 lay heavy hands on them (1130). The Archbishop of 
 Dublin remained in office till Hugh de Lacy's war ; he was 
 then succeeded by William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, 
 May 2, 1224 (1185). When we come to mention this war 
 we shall have occasion to draw attention to a very remark- 
 able letter or dispatch regarding it, written by the earl when 
 justiciary. On November 8, 1224, the king having called 
 the earl into England Geoffrey de Mariscis was in his 
 absence appointed to attend to the king's affairs and the 
 preservation of peace in Ireland (1224). The Earl of Pem- 
 broke having subsequently on the 22nd of June 1226 sur- 
 rendered his office (1380), three days afterwards Geoffrey 
 de Mariscis was again regularly appointed (1383). The 
 sum of 580Z. a year was granted to him as salary (1413). 
 Having proceeded to Ireland Geoffrey writes to the king 
 a letter dated about August 1226, giving a remarkable 
 
PREFACE.

 account of the then state of that country. On arriving at 
 Water ford the magnates there met him, he says, and gave 
 assurances that they would obey the king's mandates. 
 Was about to proceed thence to Dublin when he heard 
 that William Earl Marshall was going to oppose his 
 passage with all the force of Leinster. In Dublin the 
 king's subjects had rendered their oaths of fealty with 
 some exceptions. Theobald Walter on being asked to do 
 so excused himself, asserting that he could not, unless in 
 presence of the earl, part with the custody of the castles con- 
 fided to him by the latter. Theobald had fortified the castle 
 of Dublin with a force against the king. All the castles of 
 Ireland were fortified against the king save the castle 
 of Limerick in custody of Richard de Burgh. The Irish 
 were so banded together and so wheedled by William Cras- 
 sus that they could not be recalled from their conspiracy. 
 The King of Connaught had become heedless of the king's 
 mandates. Theobald Walter had so misconducted himself 
 in regard to the king that, though he had married the 
 justiciary's daughter, he would if it were the king's will 
 deprive him of all his land. So long as the justiciary's 
 life should be prolonged the king need not fear the 
 wickedness or craft of his Irish enemies or others. All 
 these he, Geoffrey, should root out (1443). Geoffrey de 
 Marisco continued justiciary till the beginning of 1228, 
 when he expressed a wish that some other person should 
 be appointed (1572) ; and accordingly on the 13th of 
 February in that year the office was committed to Richard 
 de Burgh (1571 and 1573). The sum of 500Z. a year was 
 granted to Richard as his salary (1577). Among the 
 mandates given to him as justiciary#are some very remark- 
 able ones. Richard de Burgh continued in office till the 
 15th of June 1232, when Hubert de Burgh, justiciary 
 of England, was appointed for life justiciary of Ireland, 
 
xxxviii 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 with power to name a deputy (1955, 1957, and 1964). It 
 appears from the document referred to in the last No. 
 that Richard de Burgh acted as Hubert's deputy. Hubert, 
 however, did not long continue justiciary of Ireland, for 
 on August 25, 1232, he was ordered to quit England 
 within 15 days (1974). On ceasing to be justiciary 
 Richard de Burgh did not readily deliver up his custody 
 of the king's castles, though several times ordered to do so 
 (2003, 2008, and 2009). In the first of these the king com- 
 mands him for the third time by virtue of his oath and 
 homage to deliver up that custody. If he acted otherwise 
 he should incur perpetual infamy. In No. 2012 the king 
 mentions Richard's trespasses against him ; in No. 2032 
 the justiciary is ordered to labour to recover the castle of 
 Milloc if Richard would not surrender it ; and in No. 2039 
 the king, as already stated, commanded Eedhlim, son of 
 the late King of Connaught, to take it and then to come 
 to the king. In No. 1977 we have the appointment of 
 Maurice Eitz Gerald as justiciary of Ireland, September 2, 
 1232, with the form of oath administered to him as such. 
 The appointment is repeated in No. 1978, and the next 
 No. contains an order for payment to him of 500 marks 
 a year for his maintenance (1979). A reference to the 
 index will show that the mandates given to Maurice Eitz 
 Gerald as justiciary are of great number and importance. 
 Having continued in office for upwards of 13 years 
 Maurice, about November 1245, surrendered it (2785). 
 He appears to have fallen into disgrace with the king, but 
 the latter pardoned him, July 2 and August 8, 1248, and 
 released to him. all receipts, accounts, complaints, and 
 demands of the time when he was justiciary. If Maurice 
 held any lands which belonged of right to the king he 
 should be tried thereupon according to law of Ireland 
 without any rancour on the king's part. An inquisition 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 xxxix 
 
 should be held by the justiciary as to the killing of the 
 king's Irishmen in Anglesey when the king was at Gannoc, 
 in order that the king might inflict due vengeance on the 
 guilty. Eor this release Maurice should give a fine of 
 500 marks (2952 and 2962). In No. 2963 we have letters 
 of protection for Maurice gone on the king's service to 
 Gascony. On November 4, 1245, John Eitz Geoffrey was 
 appointed justiciary (2785), and continued so during the 
 remainder of the period comprised in this volume. 
 
 As to documents relating to the government of Ireland, 
 we have first the grant, already mentioned, made in the 
 commencement of the reign of Henry III. In it the king 
 commands the fealty which his subjects in Ireland have 
 manifested to his father and will manifest to himself, and 
 in token thereof, grants that they and their heirs may 
 enjoy for ever the liberties conferred by his father and 
 himself in England (759) ; Nos. 1390 and 2850 contain 
 ordinances for the observance in Ireland of the laws and 
 customs of England, as King John when last in the former 
 country ordained ; and in No. 1602, dated May 8, 1228, 
 the justiciary is commanded to cause all the archbishops, 
 bishops, abbots, earls, barons, knights, and free tenants, 
 to come before him ; to cause to be publicly read to them 
 the charter of King John, which the magnates of Ireland 
 swore to obey, touching the observance in that country of 
 English laws and customs ; to enjoin them to keep those 
 laws, and to cause the same to be proclaimed throughout 
 Ireland. "We next have a mandate to the justiciary to 
 make such a provision regarding the king's uninhabited 
 cantreds as may best conduce to the king's honour and 
 advantage (1852) ; the justiciary is commanded to take into 
 the king's hand the lands of those of the king's household 
 in Ireland, who receive from the king an annual fee, but 
 would not come to his service to preserve the peace (1915) ; 
 
xl PREFACE. 
 
 the king wills, Jan. 25, 1234-5, that England and Ireland 
 he common to each other, and that his men of "both coun- 
 tries trade hither and thither for the profit and improve- 
 ment of the latter (2242) ; the king commands, June 1244, 
 that proclamation he made throughout all cities and vills 
 in Ireland for uniformity of weights and measures ; the 
 model to be taken from the weights and measures used in 
 Dublin (2713) ; the king notifies his will to the seneschal 
 of Leinster, June 18, 1246, that there be in Ireland one 
 justiciary, one treasurer, one chancellor, and that writs 
 shall issue under the king's seal borne by the latter ; that 
 there be one Exchequer sitting in Dublin, at which both 
 the seneschal and the sheriffs under him shall answer ; the 
 seneschal shall hold no assizes, but allow the king's writs 
 to run through his bailiwick, arid the king's justices to 
 take their eyre as they were wont to do before the late 
 Earls Marshall ursurped to themselves royal liberties (2836); 
 the king notifies, July 28, 1248, that he sends under his 
 seal to the barons of Ireland particulars of the liberties 
 which he is prepared to grant to them, commanding the 
 justiciary to ascertain their views, and let the king know 
 what they are prepared to do on their side to obtain those 
 liberties (2956) ; June 11, 1250, mandate to the Arch- 
 bishop of Dublin, Maurice Eitz Gerald, and others, to 
 counsel the king whether it is better to settle and cultivate 
 the king's waste lands of Ireland, or to let them to the 
 men of Ireland (3061). 
 
 In regard to these ordinances or mandates made up- 
 wards of 600 years ago, we may be permitted to remark 
 that some of them seem not unworthy of the wise 
 and beneficent rule of the successor of King Henry III. 
 now on the throne, Her most gracious Majesty Queen 
 Victoria. 
 
 Of documents relating to legal matters, we have the

 following among others : — Eeb. 21, 1217-18, the king 
 commands the justiciary of Ireland to cause a record of the 
 plaint before him at Dublin, between Eva de Burminge- 
 ham, wife of the justiciary, complainant, and Reginald 
 Talbot, defendant, touching four carucates of land in 
 Dalkey., to be brought with this writ before the king (817) ; 
 April 18, 1218, William Earl of Pembroke having shown 
 to the king that Albin Bishop of Eerns had sued him 
 touching his lay fee, which the king is bound to warrant to 
 him when he reaches his age, the king prohibits the Arch- 
 bishops of Dublin and Tuam and the Bishop of Clogher 
 from holding this plea while the king is under age (823) ; 
 April 20, same year, if the Archbishops of Dublin and 
 Tuam and the Bishop of Clogher held pleas in the ecclesi- 
 astical court touching the lay fee of William Earl Marshall 
 in Leinster, and the Bishop of Eerns prosecuted this plea, 
 the justiciary shall bind over the first-named parties to 
 show why they have held, and the Bishop of Eerns why 
 he has prosecuted this plea (825 ) ; March 8, 1220-1, the 
 practice in Ireland regarding justices itinerant differing 
 from that in England, the king and his council ordain that 
 to the sole justice itinerant in Ireland, two be added (985) ; 
 mandate to the justiciary that pleas of bounds in Ireland 
 be held and framed as in England. The laws of Ireland 
 and England are and ought to bethe same (1033). Limita- 
 tion in writs of Mort cV Ancestor in Ireland to be changed 
 to that in England (1042) ; Dec. 10, 1226, mandate to the 
 barons, knights, and free tenants of Leinster regarding the 
 law of tenant by the courtesy in Ireland (1458) ; October 
 28, 1233, pleas shall not be held in the ecclesiastical court 
 in Ireland, touching advowsons, lay fees, or chattels not 
 connected with testamentary or matrimonial matters (2069); 
 mandate that the writ de Divisis faciendis shall run in 
 Ireland as in England (2232) ; Aug. 30, 1236, English law 
 
xlii 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 and custom regarding coparcerners shall be proclaimed 
 and maintained in Ireland (2356) ; the king commands 
 the justiciary to cause changes in regard to writs of course 
 to be made and proclaimed throughout Ireland. The same 
 laws should prevail in that country as in England (2379). 
 
 The first intimation which we have of Hugh cle Lacy's 
 intention to wage war against the king is contained in 
 No. 1110, dated June 4, 1223. Under that date the king 
 writes to the Archbishop of Dublin, then justiciary, that 
 the king had offered to commit for five years to "Walter de 
 Lacy and others the land which Hugh demanded to have 
 restored to him, but as those persons were unwilling to 
 incur the obligation, nothing was done. Hugh, as the 
 king had heard, was plotting to invade Ireland, wherefore 
 the justiciary is commanded to provide against the attack. 
 Sends the pope's letters of excommunication against Hugh 
 and his accomplices if they invade that land. We have 
 then a letter from Kathal King, of Connaught, to the king ; 
 it is undated, but the Editor has assigned to it the date of 
 about March 1224. Hugh de Lacy, says Kathal, enemy 
 of the king, the king's father, and Kathal, who was ex- 
 pelled from Ireland by King John, has come to that country 
 to disturb it. Kathal remains firm in his fidelity to the 
 king, but the closer he adheres to the king's service, the 
 more he is harrassed by those who pretend fealty to the 
 king, and shamefully fail against his enemy; so that 
 between Hugh de Lacy on the one hand, and those who 
 pretend to be faithful on the other, Kathal is placed in 
 great difliculty. Wherefore, unless it is better that the 
 peace of Ireland should be subverted by this disturber, 
 Kathal prays the king to send a force thither to restrain 
 Hugh's insolence (1174) ; we have then a mandate dated 
 March 30, 1224, that Walter de Lacy have the hall, houses, 
 and chambers in the castle of Trim to dwell in while he is

 fighting the enemies of the king and of himself (1176) ; 
 next follows a letter of Joan, Qneen of Scotland, to 
 Henry III., her brother, telling him that she had been 
 grieved to hear of the trouble which Hugh de Lacy had 
 caused to the king and his subjects in Ireland ; the war 
 would soon be at an end ; the King of Scotland did not 
 wish his soldiers to go to Ireland to injure the king ; any 
 who did so should be punished (1179). We have then an 
 agreement, dated about March in the same year, made 
 between the king and Walter de Lacy, whereby the latter 
 undertook to go to Ireland, and with the king's force to 
 fight his enemies (1180) ; then follows another letter from 
 Kathal (1184) ; we have next the appointment on May 2 
 in the same year of William Earl of Pembroke as jus- 
 ticiary (1185) ; same date, power is given to him to receive 
 into the king's peace all those, excepting Hugh de Lacy, 
 who will come to it within 40 days after his arrival in 
 Ireland (1186) ; same date, he is to take sureties from such 
 of the king's adherents as he does not confide in (1187) ; 
 and in Nos. 1202 and 1203 we have two letters from the 
 carl himself. In the second of these, dated August 5, 
 1224, he gives a spirited account of his arrival in Ireland, 
 and of his proceedings against the enemy, which were 
 attended with immediate and signal success. How truly 
 did the Queen of Scotland write that the war would soon 
 be at an end ; the earl came, saw, and conquered. It 
 will be seen that he was materially aided by the assistance 
 of O'Reilly, an Irishman, powerful in those parts, who 
 besieged and assisted in taking the castle called Cronoc 
 O'Reilly. The earl appears also to have been aided by the 
 Earl of Athol and his brother. On the conclusion of peace 
 they both wrote to the king asking confirmation of the 
 lands given to them by King John (1218 and 1219.) To 
 this period apparently belongs the curious inventory in 
 
xliv 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 No. 1227, hereafter noticed, of the king's stores found in 
 the castles of Athlone, Limerick, and Dublin. There is 
 mention of the pledges for Hugh de Lacy. 
 
 That the king intended to visit Ireland we have several 
 proofs in the documents abstracted in this volume. Pre- 
 parations were actually made for the purpose. No. 2046 
 contains a mandate, dated July 18, 1233, to Henry de 
 Hastings to be at Gloucester with three knights in the 
 Quinzaine of the Assumption prepared to go with the 
 king to Ireland; July 22, same year, the sheriff of Kent is 
 with others commanded to cause to be seized all ships 
 capable of carrying 16 horses, and to take security from 
 them that they be at Ilfracombe at the same date, prepared 
 to go on the king's service ; a similar mandate to John 
 de Sandwich and seven other English sheriffs (2048) ; 
 August 4, same year, the king prays Robert de Berkeley 
 to permit the sheriff of Gloucester to make hurdles in his 
 woods for the king's passage to Ireland ; similar letters 
 to six other persons (2049) ; August 7, same year, mandate 
 to the sheriff of York to cause to be proclaimed that all 
 those who hold of the king in capite shall be at Gloucester 
 in the Quinzaine of the Assumption prepared with horses 
 and arms to cross over with the king into Ireland ; similar 
 letters to all the sheriffs of England (2052) ; same date, 
 mandate to the sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk to cause the 
 ships ordered to be arrested to come to Milford in place 
 of Ilfracombe, in order to cross over with the king ; they 
 could be more readily equipped at the former port ; similar 
 letters to seven other sheriffs (2053) ; same date, mandate 
 to the barons of Sandwich to come to Milford in the Quin- 
 zaine of the Assumption in well equipped ships to cross 
 with the king into Ireland ; similar letters to the barons of 
 Dover, Hythe, and Eomney (2054) ; three weeks after- 
 wards, however, on August 28 in the same year, the king 
 
PREFACE. xlv 
 
 intimated that he had changed his purpose and ordered 
 the sheriffs to set the ships free (2058) ; No. 2059 counter- 
 mands the order for hurdles and bridges. That the king 
 still continued to entertain the project of proceeding to 
 Ireland appears from various subsequent documents. In 
 No. 2410, dated October 5, 1237, the king writes to the 
 justiciary that he had commanded him to come to England 
 to certify how the king could most conveniently go to 
 Ireland in person; whether with or without provisions, 
 and with a small or a great force. In No. 2438, dated 
 March 23 following, the king writes to the Treasurer of 
 Ireland that matters having lately arisen requiring his 
 attention in England he could not go to Ireland. In 
 No. 2495, dated September 18, 1240, the king refers to his 
 approaching arrival in Dublin ; in the following number 
 dated about the 22nd of the same month he states that it 
 was his firm purpose to go to Ireland after the ensuing 
 Easter, and commands the justiciary to purchase 400 hogs- 
 heads of wine to be placed in his manors and castles ; to 
 provide corn, provisions, and other articles he required on 
 his arrival, and to repair and improve his houses where 
 necessary (2496). We have, however, no proof that the 
 king went to Ireland after Easter 1241. But in No. 2612, 
 dated August 24, 1243, the hall at the Castle of Dublin is 
 commanded to be completed by the king's arrival; and 
 on October 21, 1245, Eedhlim, son of the King of Con- 
 naught, had letters of protection till the king went to 
 Ireland (2778). 
 
 We now come to the war brought in Ireland against the 
 king by Richard Marshall, third Earl of Pembroke. On 
 the death, about April 1231, of William Earl of Pembroke, 
 who played so distinguished a part in Hugh de Lacy's war, 
 the king, as was usual in such cases, caused his lands in 
 Ireland to be seized until Hichard his brother and heir came 
 
xlvi PREFACE. 
 
 and did homage. The latter was a liegeman of the King 
 of Prance, the king's chief enemy as he is called (1892). 
 By No. 1905, however, we find that on Angust 8, 1231, 
 Earl Richard rendered homage to the king, and the jus- 
 ticiary was then commanded to give seisin to him of all 
 Earl William's lands and castles in Ireland. By No. 1950 
 dated June 8, 1232, we learn that the earl had named 
 certain vills and lands therein mentioned for the dower 
 in Ireland of Alienor Countess of Pembroke, widow of 
 Earl William, and the king's sister (1950). On March 27, 
 1234, the king writes to the mayor and citizens of Dublin 
 thanking them for their information regarding the arrival 
 in Ireland of Earl Richard. The magnates had been con- 
 vened regarding this matter, and the king would com- 
 municate what should be done when they met (2099). 
 We have nothing further about the war until May 19, 
 1234, when Maurice Eitz Gerald, then justiciary, is com- 
 manded safely to keep the lands in Ireland of Richard late 
 Earl of Pembroke, and to accept no ransom for any knight 
 taken with him (2111) . Earl Richard died in the interval 
 between the last two dates. Richard de Burgh having sided 
 with the king in this war, by letters of the last-mentioned 
 date the king thanks him for his defence of Ireland and 
 his strenuous resistance to the earl (2112). Six days 
 afterwards the king pardons Gilbert Marshall, brother and 
 heir of Earl Richard, receives him into favour, and restores 
 all his hereditary possessions in England, Ireland, and 
 Whales. The king wills that by this act of grace there 
 be no further dissension between Gilbert and the mag- 
 nates of Ireland and England by reason of the death 
 of Earl Richard, his brother (2120). This pardon is re- 
 peated in Nos. 2151 and 2175. In No. 2153 the justiciary 
 is commanded to inquire in presence of the Archbishop of 
 Dublin or his bailiffs what loss the archbishop suffered

 during Earl Richard's war ; what money and jewels, &c. 
 were taken in the king's name in the church of Dublin 
 and other churches and monasteries in the province, &c. 
 Prom No. 2168 it appears that a treaty of peace was made 
 between Gilbert Earl of Pembroke, his brothers, the 
 magnates, and the king's subjects of Ireland. On 
 September 26, 1234, the king thanks the earls, barons, 
 knights, and his subjects in Ireland, for their services in 
 the war, and prays that they will assist the justiciary in 
 administering the king's affairs (2174) ; on the following 
 day he commands the justiciary to cause to be inquired 
 what knights and others were against the king in the war ; 
 when certified thereupon he shall take fines for trans- 
 gressions, cause the fines to be inrolled, and send one 
 of the rolls to the king (2190) ; four days later the jus- 
 ticiary is directed to repay to the citizens of Dublin 
 4161. 16s. 4<d. which they had lent to him to carry on the 
 war (2211), and on the 22nd of November following the 
 king notifies that the ransoms of those who were taken 
 in the war of Kildare had been settled by the council of 
 the king's barons on the arrival in England of Maurice 
 Pitz Gerald (2227). It appears from No. 2284 that Gilbert 
 Earl of Pembroke subsequently sought to invalidate by 
 authority of the Pope the peace made between the king 
 and him. On the death of Gilbert about June 1241, 
 Walter his brother became Earl of Pembroke, but dying 
 shortly afterwards was succeeded by Anselm his brother, 
 who though not named in these pages as earl was un- 
 doubtedly entitled to be so. We have thus an instance, 
 a rare one in the peerage, of five brothers succeeding each 
 other in an earldom. On Anselm' s death the great family 
 of the Marshalls became extinct in the male line, and their 
 large possessions in Ireland were divided among co-heiresses.

 As to the king's expedition to Scotland in 1244 the first 
 mention which we have of it is in the king's letters dated 
 June 11 in that year (2679), whereby the king notifies 
 that the service which he exacted from the magnates and 
 his subjects of Ireland of joining his expedition against 
 the King of Scots was rendered of their free will and should 
 not be turned into a precedent ; the king would cause to 
 be restored to Maurice Pitz Gerald, justiciary, all the 
 booty which he should devote to the maintenance of the 
 king's army in Ireland ; the treasurer and barons of the 
 Exchequer should cause to be allowed in their farm to the 
 men of Dublin, Drogheda, Waterford, and Cork whatever 
 they might advance for the king's army. Same date, 
 mandate to the mayor and men of Dublin to purchase for 
 the king's expedition to Scotland 500 crannocks of wheat ; 
 the cost shall be allowed to them in the farm of their vill ; 
 they shall retain in their port all ships capable of carrying 
 40 men and send them to Garlingford to transport the 
 king's army of Ireland whither the justiciary shall lead it ; 
 the bailiffs and men of Cork shall purchase 200 crannocks 
 of wheat, the bailiffs and men of "Waterford 500 crannocks, 
 the bailiffs and provosts of Drogheda 300 crannocks of 
 wheat and 300 of dry oatmeal; and all those vills are 
 to retain ships as above (2687). Mandate, June 13 
 following, to the seneschal of Meath to cause to be 
 retained all the wines, hides, wool, cloth, and iron which 
 he can find at the fair of Trim, together with 500 cran- 
 nocks of wheat and 500 of dry oats, and to cause them 
 to be delivered at Drogheda to the justiciary as supplies 
 for the king's expedition (2696). On July 7 following the 
 king writes to Donald, King of Tirconnell, to give him aid

 by joining in person, and with a force, the justiciary of 
 Ireland. Letters on the same subject to Eelim son of the 
 late king O'Reilly, O'Hanlon, Brian O'Neill, king of Kinel- 
 Owen, and 17 other Irishmen. But their services were 
 not required, Alexander, King of the Scots, having made 
 peace, as appears from letters which follow in the entry, 
 directed to Gerald de Prendegast and others, and to all the 
 Irishmen above named (2716). 
 
 Then follows the king's expedition to Wales. On 
 January 10, 1244-5, the king prays the justiciary, the 
 magnates, and his subjects of Ireland to join him in 
 revenging the treachery of Llewellyn, Prince of North 
 Wales. The justiciary shall provide by the ensuing 
 summer, wine, corn, and hogs for the maintenance of the 
 king's army, and shall certify what provisions and forces he 
 can send to aid the expedition. The king wishes Ireland 
 to share in his conquest (2733). August 29, 1245, the 
 king commands the men of Dublin to send to him to 
 Gannoc all the provisions they can collect, with the mer- 
 chants of those provisions to whom the king will cause 
 good payment to be made. Similar letters to the men of 
 Waterford, Drogheda, Limerick, Cork, and Carrickfergus. 
 Mandate to the justiciary to raise on loan 500 marks to 
 purchase com and flour to be sent to the king. He shall 
 also cause to come as many wine and provision merchants, 
 &c. as he can. Letters to all provision merchants in 
 Ireland to come to the army with provisions ; they shall 
 be well paid (2768). October 21 in the same year, the 
 treasurer and chamberlain of Dublin are commanded to 
 cause 3,000 foot soldiers who came from Ireland with the 
 justiciary to the king's service at Gannoc to have their 
 pay of 2d. a day for 10 days (2777). 
 
 As to the Crusades, the following documents relate to 
 steps taken to promote them in Ireland. About the end

 of June 1245, we have a licence to John de Frussyn or Era- 
 sinon, clerk, envoy of the Pope, to cross over to Ireland to 
 collect money in aid of the Holy Land (2757) . On June 16, 
 1250, the King prays the Archbishop of Dublin to have 
 the cause of the Crusades preached throughout Ireland ; 
 similar letters to the Archbishop of Cashel, the Arch- 
 bishop of Armagh, the Prior of the Dominicans, and the 
 Minister of the Franciscans., provincials of Ireland (3067). 
 November 9, 1250, the King prays the Archbishop of 
 Dublin not to prevent Stephen Longespee, the king's 
 cousin and a crusader, who proposed to cross over sump- 
 tuously in aid of the Holy Land, from collecting money 
 in Leinster for redemption of the vows of crusaders (3088) . 
 March 18, 1250-1, the king prays the Archbishop of 
 Dublin and John de Frusinon, his colleague, to diligently 
 execute the king's business regarding the collection for 
 three years before the king's passage of the tenth for the 
 Holy Land (3115). 
 
 As to subsidies and aids in Ireland, we have several 
 documents relating to them. On November 10, 1217, 
 about a year after his accession, the king commands the 
 justiciary of Ireland that, with Henry Archbishop of 
 Dublin, he impose an aid on his cities, burghs, and 
 demesnes ; that they demand an aid from the kings of 
 Connaught and Thomond, from the other kings of Ireland, 
 and the barons and knights who hold of the king in capite 
 (810). Same date, the king appeals on this subject to the 
 barons and knights who hold of him in Ireland (812). 
 The second subsidy or aid was imposed about three years 
 after the first. On September 18, 1220, the king writes 
 to the knights, free tenants, and others of his demesne 
 lands in Ireland, that he is indebted to the Pope, Queen 
 Berengaria, the Lord Louis, the Viscount de Thouars, and 
 others ; and therefore prays that they make an efficient

 aid to him (965). In regard to a clerical subsidy, we have 
 two bulls of Pope Honorius III., bearing date January 29, 
 1225-6 (Nos. 1348 and 1349). The first is addressed to 
 the Archbishop of Dublin ; the second to the arch- 
 bishops, bishops, abbots, priors, and rectors of churches, 
 &c. in Ireland. Ecclesiastical liberty, says his Holiness, is 
 not injured but defended when aid is given to its pro- 
 tector in time of need. Has commanded the clergy of 
 England to yield to the king a subsidy, and now commands 
 the Irish clergy to do the like. The Pope then gives 
 directions for collecting the money. On December 10, 
 1226, the king writes to the four archbishops of Ireland 
 respecting this subsidy, the object of which was to enable 
 the king to seize the opportunity of recovering his rights 
 offered by the death of the King of Erance. This subsidy 
 amounted to a 16th on benefices, and the king protests 
 that it shall not cause prejudice to the clergy or their 
 possessions, and that it shall not be drawn into a precedent 
 (1459). Similar letters dated December 21, 1226, to the 
 abbots, priors, prelates, and rectors of churches in Ireland 
 (1464). From Nos. 1549, 1612, and 1699, it appears 
 that this subsidy had not been collected up to June 25, 
 1229. On November 5, in the last-mentioned year, the 
 king prays the abbots of the Cistercian order in Ireland 
 to aid him with a liberal subsidy in place of the 16th 
 demanded from the clergy in that country, and at the 
 same time commands the justiciary to assess a toll on 
 the tenants of the king's demesne lands (1755). In regard 
 to the lay and clerical subsidy or aid about the beginning 
 of November, 1236, the king writes that being indebted 
 in a large sum of money to the Emperor by the 
 marriage of his sister Isabella, and also to the Pope, his 
 English subjects had paid him an aid. Prays the arch- 
 bishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons, knights, 
 
lii

 and free tenants in Ireland, to confer a like favour on 
 him. The king also writes to men in Irish counties, 
 burghs, and demesnes regarding a toll, and likewise prays 
 succour from Walter de Lacy and the barons of Ireland 
 (2365). There was another clerical subsidy in 1243. On 
 the 3rd of June in that year, the king thanks the arch- 
 bishop of Dublin, his suffragans, and the clergy in his 
 province for granting him a subsidy to continue his war 
 in parts beyond the sea, and prays that they will liberally 
 aid him. Similar letters to the archbishops of Ireland, 
 their suffragans, and clergy (2622). It would thus appear 
 that during the portion of the reign of Henry III. com- 
 prised in this volume, there were three lay, at least two 
 clerical and one both clerical and lay, subsidies, or aids 
 imposed in Ireland. 
 
 In relation to monasteries and religious houses we have 
 * several interesting documents. There is first the petition 
 dated in or about 1224, of Reginald Bishop of Connor, 
 to the king, regarding the house of St. Mary of Carrick- 
 fergus, which by extortion and malice is, he says, reduced 
 to such poverty that it can with difficulty maintain three 
 canons. The kings enemies had despoiled the abbot of 
 all his moveables, because he had faithfully adhered to 
 the king in the war (that of Hugh de Lacy no doubt), 
 and placed such stores as he could in the castle of Carrick- 
 fergus (1225). August 24, 1227, grant to the abbot 
 and monks of Mellif ont of a weekly fair at their vill of 
 Callan (1550) ; September 5, same year, the abbot of 
 St. Thomas, Dublin, having requested the king to lay 
 the first stone of a new church which he proposed build- 
 ing, the king, as he cannot be present, commands the 
 justiciary to supply his place (1553) ; January 27, 1228-9, 
 the king grants during pleasure to the prior of the Holy 
 Trinity, Dublin [Christ's Church], 20s. of the king's 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 liii 
 
 escheats in lieu of 40s. rent, which the prior says he lost 
 by the fortification of the castle of Dublin (1672) ; licence 
 for the convent of St. Thomas without Dublin, vacant 
 by the resignation of A., late abbot, to elect an abbot, and 
 grant that the elect of Dublin may give the royal assent ; 
 this grant shall not form a precedent (1797). October 12, 
 1232, letters of protection for the friars of the Cistercian 
 order about to go to Ireland to visit and correct that 
 order. The justiciary is directed to give the friars aid in 
 taming " the mad pride and the proud madness " of those 
 who rebel against the reformation of the order (1992). 
 Same date, the king confirms to the Abbey of Dunbrody 
 the order of the abbot and chapter general of the Cister- 
 cian order, reducing the Abbey of Ghinewadam, on 
 account of its poverty, to a grange of Dunbrody (1993). 
 January 26, 1232-3, mandate for an inquisition whether 
 the abbots of Boyle were seised of a rent of 25 bushels 
 of barley of the gift of Eoderic, formerly King of Con- 
 naught, and whether Richard de Burgh, when justiciary, 
 disseised them thereof (2006). Mandate to the mayor 
 and citizens of Dublin not to take customs for the corn 
 and victuals of the abbot and canons of St. Thomas, 
 Dublin (2137). September 30, 1234, inspeximus and 
 confirmation of a charter of grant made by Margaret, 
 daughter of Richard Gillemichelle, to the abbey and nuns 
 at Hogges, near Dublin (223 0). The king made a fine 
 of 100 marks with the abbot and monks of Mellifont for 
 600 cows and 40 marks received on loan from them to 
 maintain the war against Hugh de Lacy (2398). April 5, 
 1240, inspeximus and confirmation of charter of King 
 John when Lord of Ireland, granting Balumpurt in 
 frankalmoign to A., abbess of all Ireland, and the mm 
 of St, Mary, of Kilcleeheen [de Kylkelclense] (2483). 
 June 10, 1240, further grant to the abbess and nuns of 
 
Hv PREFACE. 
 
 the same convent (2485). May, 1243, the king commands 
 the men of Dublin to allow the abbot and monks of 
 St. Mary, Dublin, to have boats on the Liffey, if such a 
 grant had been made to them, and to enjoy the liberties 
 they had hitherto possessed (2620). June 3, 1248, 
 mandate to the justiciary of Ireland to assign to the abbot 
 and monks of St. Mary, near Dublin, land or an annual 
 rent of 10 marks, as compensation for the injury done to 
 them by the erection of the king's mills near the castle 
 of Dublin (2941). About January, 1250-1, mandate 
 to the mayor and bailiffs of Bristol to deliver to the abbot 
 and canons of St. Thomas, Dublin, the stone which the 
 latter had caused to be collected at Bristol to construct 
 their church, and which the bailiffs had caused to be 
 arrested to repair the king's castle of Bristol (3107). 
 Soon after May 28, 1251, charter of Robert, prior of 
 St. Patrick's, in Down, and certain abbots notifying that 
 it had been found at a visitation that Michael, Abbot 
 of Bangor, had been guilty of excesses requiring his 
 deposition. The Bishop of Down thereupon pronounced 
 sentence of removal (3150) . 
 
 We now come to documents relating to municipalities. 
 April 12, 1228, grant to the men of Drogheda of customs to 
 enable them to build their bridge (1582) ; June 15, 18, and 
 July 5, 1229, three inspeximus grants, and four original 
 grants to the citizens and burgesses of Dublin of liberties and 
 franchises (1693, 1694, 1695, 1696, 1697, 1698, and 1703) ; 
 September 20, 1229, grant to the burgesses of Drogheda 
 towards Uriel of liberties and franchises (1733) ; April 29, 
 1230, the king for the burning of the city of Dublin and 
 the poverty of its inhabitants, grants to its citizens that on 
 this occasion they be taxed at 200 marks (1816) ; June 16, 
 1232, grant to the citizens of Waterford of liberties and 
 franchises (1958) ; June 17, same year, grant in feefarm 
 
PREFACE.

 to the men of Waterford of the king's city of Waterford, 
 rendering 100 marks a year (1960) ; October 28, 1233, 
 grant for three years to the mayor and men of Dublin of 
 customs to enable them to inclose their city (2068) ; 
 J une 7, 1234, a similar grant to the citizens of Waterford 
 (2133) ; June 14, same year, a similar grant to the 
 burgesses of Drogheda (2135) ; January 2, 1241-2, grant 
 to the citizens of Cork of liberties and franchises (2552) ; 
 April 25, 1243, further grant for three years to the citi- 
 zens of Waterford of customs to enable them to inclose 
 their city (2613) ; same date, a further similar grant to 
 the men of Drogheda (2614) ; June 16, 1247, grant to 
 the burgesses of Drogheda in Meath of liberties and 
 franchises (2881) ; May 30, 1250, grant for three years to 
 the citizens of Dublin of aids to enable them to inclose 
 their city (3057). 
 
 In regard to the Chancery we have, on September 28, 
 1232, a grant for life to Ralph Bishop of Chichester, 
 Chancellor of England, of the Chancery of Ireland; 
 assignment of Geoffrey de Turville as his deputy; the 
 latter to have the seal with which the affairs of the king 
 and of Ireland are transacted, &c. (1988) ; May 4, 1233, 
 and May 21, 1234, grants to the same bishop of the 
 Chancery of Ireland for life (2033 and 2116) ; Robert 
 Luteral or Luttrell, treasurer of St. Patrick's, Dublin, 
 subsequently the bishop's deputy (2254) ; November 18, 
 1245, styled Chancellor of Ireland (2796) ; April 20, 1246, 
 Robert Luttrell is commanded to deliver the king's Irish 
 seal to the justiciary who is to commit it to Geoffrey 
 Wuleward (2824) ; July 9, 1249, the king commits to 
 Ralph of Norwich the Chancery of Ireland (2998), and 
 four days afterwards grants to him 60 marks a year so 
 long as he shall be in office (3000). 
 
 As to the Mint, that one existed in Ireland at an early 
 
Ivi 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 date we have proof in a document of February 1, 1214- 
 15, wherein the Archbishop of Dublin is directed to audit 
 the account of its keeper (529) ; in No. 1660 there is a 
 curious account of the pleas and profits of that Mint. 
 The record is undated, but as there is mention of the 
 name of Luke Archbishop of Dublin it must be of the 
 time of that prelate, viz. 1228-55, which date the Editor 
 has given to it. There is also mention in this document 
 of Robert de Braham, sheriff of Kilkenny; July 27, 1247, 
 grant for seven years to Richard Earl of Cornwall, the 
 king's brother, of half the profit of coining new money 
 in England, Ireland, and Wales ; the king will cause the 
 ancient and approved laws and customs relating to the 
 Mint to be observed during that term (2887 and 2888). 
 There were subsequently further similar grants to the 
 Earl of Cornwall for 12 years (2926 and 3129). On 
 July 8, 1251, the king acknowledges to have received on 
 loan from the Earl of Cornwall 2,000 marks to make new 
 money and maintain the Mint in Ireland (3170) ; and in 
 No. 3201 we have an account of expenses incurred from 
 1251-52 in the Mint of Ireland. 
 
 As to inquisitions, including extents, there are in this 
 volume abstracts of some interesting ones. The first, 
 dated July 5, 1245, was taken apparently at the instance 
 of Donatus Bishop of Killaloe. It finds that the lands of 
 Roscrea had been alienated from that see in consequence 
 of Bishop Cornelius O'Heny having in the time of King 
 John granted permission to the king's justiciary and army 
 to fortify a moat and wooden tower in the war against 
 Murchercath Mac Bren (2760). In No. 2970, taken 
 about October or November 1248, we have an extent of a 
 moiety of land which belonged to Walter de Ridelsford 
 in the vale of Dublin. No. 3186 refers to an inquisition 
 regarding the manor of Ballymadun, finding the names

 of occupiers, the land held by them, the rent paid, 
 and the value by extent. In No. 3203, taken between 
 October 8, 1251, and March 17, 1251-52, we have an 
 abstract of an inquisition as to the lands, apparently in 
 Cork, of Gerard de Prendegast, and finding at great 
 length the names of the tenants, the land they held, the 
 services or rents rendered by them, and other particulars, 
 among which we have some valuable genealogical in- 
 formation. There is several times mention of lands held 
 by the Irish, of rent paid by them, and of the value of 
 their work, &c. No. 3204 refers to a further inquisition 
 as to lands in Wexford of the same Gerard. The two 
 last are evidently inquisitions, post mortem, though the 
 jury does not find the date of the tenant's death. 
 
 Grants of Irish lands are by no means so numerous in 
 the reign of Henry III. as in the preceding reign. On 
 the other hand grants of fairs and markets, and of free 
 chases and warrens, especially the former, frequently 
 occur. Of grants of hinds we have the following among 
 others : — To Thomas Eitz Adam of the land of Chapelizod 
 and Kilsaltham (959) ; to John de St. John of the lands 
 of Drummenac and Terenure, and of a lease of the king's 
 manor of Newcastle (998) ; to Henry de Audley of the 
 vill of Dunleer, of the gift of Hugh de Lacy, &c. (1505) ; 
 to Ralph de Trubleville of the manor of Ballymadun 
 (1508) ; to John d'Evreux of lands in Decies therein 
 fully described (1680) ; to William Eitz Wido, Dean of 
 St. Patrick's, of the king's manor of Esker (1763) ; to 
 Geoffrey de St. Amand of four carucates of land called 
 lc Ryn, formerly belonging to Magorman (Mac Gorman 
 or O'Gorman), an Irishman (1772) ; confirmation of the 
 gift which David Eitz William, Baron of Naas, made to 
 Maurice Eitz William, his brother, of land in the cantred 
 of Wicklow (2169) ; to Ralph Pel dc Lu of the land of 
 
Iviii

 Invre and Dumnal' of the gift of Hugh de Lacy, late 
 Earl of Ulster (2771) ; to Eobert de Muscegros of the 
 cantred of Traddery in Thomond (2920) ; to Alexander de 
 Tunderlegh of Cumeth, Atfeyth, Gilmelash, and Asscoly 
 in Tyrnabroys or Thirneborhys (3174). 
 
 Of grants of markets and fairs we have the following 
 among others : — To John Bishop of Perns, in Senebod or 
 Senebald (1306) ; Nicholas de Verdun, in Clonmore and 
 Dundalk (1387 and 1829); Nicholas le Petit, in Dun- 
 boyne (1389) ; Geoffrey de Mariscis, justiciary of Ireland, 
 in his manors of Adare and Anya [Aney or Knockaney] 
 (1415) ; John Bishop of Eerns, in Eerns, Iscardy, and 
 Senebald (1429) ; Hugh de Lacy, in Botour [Batoath], 
 Nobber, and Carlingford (1544) ; the abbot and monks of 
 Mellifont, in Callan (1550 and 1735) ; Marian Archbishop 
 of Cashel, in Cashel (1633) ; the citizens of Dublin, in 
 Dublin (1697) ; David de Barry, in Buttevant and Car- 
 rigtohill (2170 and 2183) ; Maurice Fitzgerald, in Youghal 
 and Gren (2182) ; Bichard de Burgh, in Tybract', Gallys, 
 Castle Cuvyn, Clonmel, and Kilfeacle (2422 and 2570) ; 
 Matthew Eitz Griffin, in Carrick (2573) ; Christian Bishop 
 of Emly, in Emly (2673) ; Meyler de Bermingham, in 
 Adneri (2674) ; Geoffrey Bishop of Ossory, in his manors 
 of Kilkenny, Aghour, Dervagh, Tascoffin, and Clonmore 
 (2780) ; William Bishop of Leighlin, in Welles (2877) ; 
 Stephen Longespee and Emelina his wife, in their manor 
 of Tristeldermot [Castle-Dermot] (2948) ; and to Ebulo 
 de Geneve and Christiana de Mariscis, in Tristedermot 
 (2971). 
 
 Of grants of free chases and free warrens the follow- 
 ing are specimens : — To Nicholas le Petit, in Dunboyne 
 (1389) ; Walter de Bidelforcl, in his manor of Breand 
 Kylka, in the vale of Dublin and Tristelderemod (1394) ; 
 Maurice Eitz Gerald, in his demesne lands of Ghyrfehrah,

 Ola Deus, Kinalethes, and Kilcalgan (2550) ; to the same, 
 in Clonmakonekule and Luyne (2680) ; Geoffrey Bishop of 
 Ossory, in his manors, as mentioned in the grant of fairs 
 above (2780) ; Maurice Fitzgerald, in Carbery, in the 
 county of Limerick, and Makeylly, in the county of Cork 
 (3137) ; Roger Waspayl, in his demesne lands of Rath- 
 keale, in the county of Limerick (3164). 
 
 Mandates relating to Ireland in this volume arc very 
 numerous and diversified. The following are specimens of 
 a few of them : — July 18, 1222, mandate to the men of 
 Dublin, Waterford, Drogheda, Limerick, and other ports, to 
 cause galleys to be made for the defence of Ireland (1049). 
 December, same year, mandate to the earls, barons, and 
 knights of Ireland, not to meet in tournaments ; if they 
 tilt, contrary to this prohibition, the king will have recourse 
 to their persons and their lands (1069, 1088, and 1089). 
 May 13, 1227, mandate to Richard de Burgh to cause the 
 cantred of the forest in Connaught, which is a good chase, 
 to be well kept ; so that the king, when he goes to those 
 parts, may range through it (1512). September 1241, 
 mandate to the justiciary of Chester to receive six hogs- 
 heads of wine sent by the men of Dublin for the king's 
 use, with three for that of the queen, and to convert them 
 to the king's profit as he may deem expedient (2537). 
 June 10, 1244, mandate to the same justiciary to 
 cause 60 does and 20 bucks to be sent to the port of 
 Dalkey, Ireland, to stock the king's park of Glencree 
 (2671). December 29, 1250, mandate that those from 
 Ireland who promised 300 for the head of Carbri Hu 
 O'Melaghlin shall pay that sum to David de Rupe, if he 
 has cut off Carbri's head (3093). 
 
 As to castles in Ireland, we have the following among 
 other documents: — In or about 1224, inventory of the 
 king's stores found in the castles of Athlone, Limerick, 
 
lx 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 and Drogheda, a very curious document. These castles 
 appear to have been but ill stored with munition when 
 the inventory was taken, which was probably about the 
 time of Hugh de Laey's war (1227). July 24, 1225, the 
 king approves of William de Uadeclive as chaplain for 
 the chapel of the castle, Dublin (1309). August 7, same 
 year, the king prays the Archbishop of Armagh not to 
 impede the justiciary and his bailiffs in fortifying castles 
 in the king's demesne lands of the archbishop's province 
 (1312). May 14, 1226, Bull of Pope Honorius [III.], 
 commanding the Archbishop of Dublin to admonish de- 
 tainers of the king's castles in Ireland to surrender them, 
 and if they neglect to do so to compel them by ecclesi- 
 astical censure (1375). September 17, 1242, mandate to 
 the treasurer of Ireland to cause glass windows for the 
 chapel of the castle of Dublin to be made, and the work 
 regarding the hall to be finished (2581). April 24, 1243, 
 mandate to the justiciary and treasurer of Ireland, that 
 they cause to be constructed in the castle of Dublin a hall 
 120 feet in length and 80 feet in breadth, with glazed 
 windows, after the manner of the hall of Canterbury ; 
 and that they cause to be made in the gable beyond the 
 dais a round window 30 feet in diameter. They shall 
 also cause to be painted beyond the dais the king and 
 queen sitting with their baronage, and a great portal shall 
 be made at the entrance of the hall. The whole shall be 
 completed by the king's arrival (2612). January 12, 
 1243-4, the king commands the treasurer of Ireland to 
 cause the work on the hall of the castle of Dublin to be 
 well covered in, so that it may not be injured by weather ; 
 and to stop it during the ensuing summer, because the 
 king is much in want of money (2656). June 12, 1244, 
 mandate to the treasurer and chamberlain of Dublin, to 
 cause the hall in the king's castle there to be completed

 according to the king's directions (2692). October 27, 
 1245, mandate to Hugh Tyrel, seneschal of Ulster, to 
 cause the king's castle of Carrickfergus and its buildings 
 to be so maintained that they do not fall into ruin (2779). 
 November 18, same year, mandate to the justiciary and 
 treasurer of Ireland to cause the king's hall [in the castle] 
 of Dublin to be completed, and water to be conveyed to 
 it from the conduit of the city of Dublin, so that at the 
 approaching summer the king may find the hall complete. 
 The king prays the men and mayor of Dublin to allow 
 water from the conduit to be so conveyed (2793). 
 
 In reference to documents relating to the commerce of 
 Ireland in the time of Henry III., very curious particu- 
 lars will be found in the grants of customs to munici- 
 palities already referred to, and especially in those relating 
 to Dublin and Waterford. Besides these we have the 
 following among others : — November 10, 1218, mandate 
 to the justiciary to cause the course of the Liffey to be 
 rectified, so that ships with merchandise may have ingress 
 to and egress from Dublin (854). September 24, 1220, 
 complaint of the men of Waterford that ships carrying 
 merchandise and wines, which used to unlade at Water- 
 ford, unlade elsewhere ; mandate that the justiciary compel 
 the ships to unlade at Waterford (968). Same date, 
 complaint of merchants frequenting Ireland, that they 
 are subjected to unjust exactions, and that their goods 
 are taken from them under the name of loan. Mandate 
 that the justiciary no further take anything by way of 
 loan in Dublin or the king's other cities or vills (971). 
 July 29, 1221, the king commands the mayor and men 
 of La Rochellc not to take from the men or merchants of 
 Dublin any customs for their merchandise, save those 
 they were wtfnt to take in the time of King John (1011) . 
 April 14, 1223, complaint of merchants of England, 
 
lxii PREFACE. 
 
 Poitou, and Gascony, that when they arrive at Dublin 
 they are not permitted to remain beyond 40 days, unless 
 they unlade their merchandise ; the king thereupon com- 
 mands the justiciary to cause the bailiffs and burgesses of 
 Dublin to desist from this harrassing of or extortion from 
 merchants (1096). May 14, 1223, writ for payment to 
 William Eitz Benedict of 91. 18s. for six hogsheads of 
 wine of Anjou bought of Irish merchants for the king's 
 use (1105). May 11, 1225, mandate to Geoffrey de Lucy 
 and the Barons of the Cinque Ports not to impede the 
 persons conveying to London 1,000 crannocks of wheat 
 bought of Earl William Marshall in Ireland by William 
 Renger, Mayor of London, and John Travers (1285). 
 
 Of miscellaneous documents we shall merely specify 
 the following : — September, 1240, the king commands the 
 feast of St. Thomas the Martyr to be celebrated in the 
 Saints' church, Dublin, with 800 lighted tapers ; and the 
 feast of St. Edward, with the like number of lighted tapers, 
 as well in the Saint's chapel, in the castle of Dublin, as 
 in the churches of St. Thomas and the Holy Trinity; 
 to cause the same number of tapers to be distributed 
 throughout the churches of Dublin on the Parasceve ; the 
 king's castle to be filled with poor people, who shall be 
 fed, and the king's chamber there to be ceiled ; so that 
 God may bless with prosperity the king, the queen, and 
 the king's people (2497). October 28, 1247, the king 
 sends to Ireland 20 serjeants-at-arms, each of them to 
 have 12d. a day for pay (2912). April 11, 1249, order 
 for payment out of Irish treasure to John Bone of 
 224Z. 14s. for 107 large lasts of herrings, whereof 50 were 
 delivered into the king's larder at Westminster, and 57 
 were deposited in the New Temple, London, to be applied 
 as alms (2986). November 28, 1249, the king grants for 
 two years to Edward his son the issues of Ireland to

 fortify Gascony ; Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, 
 husband of the king's sister, to have all the revenues of 
 Ireland for that purpose during the above term (3021 and 
 3022). 
 
 We here conclude our summary of records mentioned 
 in this volume, having noticed abstracts referring to 22 
 subjects or topics. These specimens may serve to 
 show the value and variety of some of the records in 
 question, but let it not be supposed that we have thus 
 exhausted the information pointed at in this volume. We 
 have not mentioned several records possessing probably 
 as much interest and importance as any we have noticed. 
 The titles, for instance, of the King, and the Exchequer of 
 Dublin or Ireland, which extend to such length in the 
 index, have not been referred to. There is also much in- 
 formation about various persons and families whom we 
 have either not named or only casually noticed. Such are 
 the de Bernewalls, de Burghs, Eitz Geralds, Tuites, the 
 Marshalls, Earls of Pembroke, and others. The index 
 will show the information contained regarding them. 
 The lineal descendants of some of these persons nourish in 
 Ireland at the present day, rich in wealth and honour in 
 the reign of Queen Victoria as they were in that of King 
 Henry III. As to the native Irish, there are not, it is true, 
 in this volume many documents referring to them besides 
 the interesting ones*we have mentioned; but we could 
 scarcely expect to find much information of this kind in 
 the Public Records of England. We must have recourse 
 for it generally to the works on native Irish history made 
 available of late years by the labours of distinguished 
 Irish scholars, and to those given to the public by learned 
 societies in Ireland, such are the Eeabhar Na H-Uidhri, 
 the Leabhar IBreac, and the Book of Leinster, published 
 or publishing by the Royal Irish Academy.

 PREFACE. 
 
 If we were required to give a short general description 
 of the records abstracted in this volume, we should say that 
 they are authoritative and, with a few exceptions, con- 
 temporaneous memorials of acts of the king and his 
 ministers or officers in relation to Ireland, and hence the 
 frequent recurrence of the king's name in these pages. 
 This description must, however, be taken as subject to 
 qualification ; there are some records to which it does not 
 appear to apply, but it may serve to show the general 
 importance of the documents abstracted. The utility of 
 these records can scarely be called in question ; they are 
 many of them highly valuable for a twofold purpose, 1st, as 
 regards legal, and, 2ndly, as regards historical evidence. 
 Ancient legal rights in Ireland may in several instances 
 be established by them, while unfounded claims may be 
 disproved. It is in regard to history, however, that their 
 chief utility will probably be found to lie. We have in 
 this volume references to many documents of very great 
 importance to history in Ireland, but which have hitherto, 
 from the circumstances in which they were placed, re- 
 mained comparatively unknown. In proof of this we need 
 only mention the interesting documents referred to'in con- 
 nexion with Hugh de Lacy's war. In this as in other 
 instances the records tell the tale with a vividness which 
 the cunning hand of the brilliant historian cannot achieve. 
 
 A general history that would give us full, unbiassed and 
 authentic information regarding both races in Ireland is 
 still wanted. There is also much to be done regarding 
 what may be called particular history in the same country. 
 The English Monasticon, for instance, consists of eight 
 folio volumes, while the best known Irish one is but a 
 quarto which the learned writer himself in his introduc- 
 tion styles an epitome. Its index is not satisfactory. 
 Such a work does not and cannot worthily represent the

 numerous and very interesting monasteries which once 
 flourished in Ireland. In regard to topographical history, 
 Ireland is hut little hetter provided for. The county of 
 Leicester, in England, for instance, can hoast of an 
 elaborate history of four double volumes, being in fact 
 eight volumes folio ; while the Leicestershire of Ireland, 
 the fine county of Kildare, the seat of the war of 1234, 
 with its resident nobility and gentry and their beautiful 
 seats, its ancient families, its ruins of monasteries and 
 castles, its round towers, and other antiquities, its noble 
 plains, and its thriving population, is without anything 
 worthy of the name of a history. Need we add that 
 there are in this, as we have reason to think there will be 
 in the succeeding volumes, references to important and 
 authentic evidence regarding Irish history, both general 
 and particular in all its branches. 
 
 The present is, it is believed, the first attempt that has 
 ever been made to compile a Calendar in English of all the 
 instruments and entries relating to Ireland to be found on 
 or among the Public Records of England. The documents 
 here abstracted are not the opinions, fancies, or mistakes 
 of any man ; they are realities, they are facts. By sec- 
 tion 13 of the Statute 1 & 2 Victoria c. 94. (the Public 
 "Record Act) copies of records scaled with the seal of the 
 office arc evidence in all courts of justice and in the 
 Houses of Parliament. Nothing can be easier than to 
 obtain copies. 
 
 This and the succeeding volumes will, we venture con- 
 fidently to hope, prove useful as a ready and easy guide to 
 the important, interesting, and useful but little known 
 English Public Records relating to Ireland. 
 
 It now only remains for us to express our acknowledg- 
 ments to gentlemen who have kindly and ably assisted us 
 in the course of our long labours. Of gentlemen officially

 Persons who have given their Attention to Portions of Public 
 
 KECORDS RELATING TO IRELAND. 
 Of these the following may be enumerated : — 
 
 1. Sir George Carew, afterwards Earl of Totness, President of Munster in the reign of 
 Elizabeth ; his excerpts relating to Ireland from the Public Records are printed in the 
 5th volume of the Carew Papers, p. 333, and following pages. 
 
 2. The very distinguished Irish antiquary, Sir J ames Ware, who, in seeking facts for 
 his history of the Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland, devoted much attention to the 
 Public Records of England, as his constant reference to them proves. 
 
 3. William Lynch, F.S.A., an Irish gentleman of great experience in records, who 
 upwards of 40 years ago made extensive researches among the English Rolls to obtain 
 materials for his " View of the Legal Institutions, Hereditary Offices, and Feudal Baronies 
 " established in Ireland by Henry II. ; " abstracts of several entries on the Pipe Rolls to 
 which he refers are given in the present volume. 
 
 4. Rowley Lascelles, a member of the Bar, who in his work, entitled " Liber Munerum 
 " Publicorum Hibemice? gives many extracts from and references to English Patent, 
 Close, and other Rolls referring to Ireland. 
 
 5. J. T. Gilbert, F.S.A., who derived from the English Public Records a portion of his 
 materials for his history of the Viceroys of Ireland.

 Marvels much at what they tell him in their letters, from which it 
 appears that they are about to create a new assise in the K.'s land 
 without the K. It is unheard of that a new assise should be esta- 
 blished in the land of another without the consent of the Prince of 
 that land. Unjust indeed, and unusual is what they ask, namely, 
 that the K.'s justiciary of Ireland should restore, without the K.'s 
 order, what has been taken into the K.'s hand by his order. The 
 K., therefore, commands them to desist from their demand to the 
 justiciary touching Offaly. For the K. wills not that the justiciary 
 answer to anyone without his order concerning tenements taken into 
 the K.'s hand by his order. As to what they write, that they will

 5 years of the farm of the city of Limerick. Having removed his 
 chattels in England, which were about to be seized for the debt, 
 order was given to Gerard de Athiis, the K.'s bailiff of Wales, to 
 destrain him in that territory. Whereupon Maud de Haia, his wife,

 William Earl Ferrers, his nephew, Adam de Port, his sister's husband, 
 and others came to the K. at Gloucester, and entreated that William 
 might be admitted to the K/s presence to give satisfaction. William 
 therefore attended the K. at Hereford, gave up his castles of Hay, 
 Brecon, and Radnor, in Wales, to be held by the K. until the debts 
 should be paid, mortgaged all his lands in England for the same pur- 
 pose, and gave as hostages, William, his son, a son of Reginald de 
 Breouse, and 4 of his tenants sons. He nevertheless attempted with 
 a large force to enter his castles ; failing therein he burnt half the 
 town of Leominster, and slew the K.'s balisters, soldiers, and people 
 there. Gerard de Athiis, having hereupon raised a force, William 
 fled with his family into Ireland, and was there harboured by Earl 
 William Marshall and Walter and Hugh de Lasci. The latter 
 undertook that William should make satisfaction, and that in case 
 he failed to do so they would no longer harbour or suffer him to 
 stay in Ireland. This promise not being kept, the K. raised an 
 army with purpose to go into that country, and came to Pembroke, 
 on the Irish sea, with that army. Thither came William, and offered 
 40,000 marks for the K.'s peace ; but the K. answered that it 
 was not in his power, but in that of his wife, in Ireland, to perform 
 what he offered; and commanded him to accompany the K. to 
 that country ; but he refused to do so. Meanwhile Maud, William's 
 wife, hearing that the K. had arrived in Ireland, fled to Scotland 
 with her sons and family in company of Hugh de Lasci, but she 
 was taken prisoner and brought to the K. by Duncan de Carrie. 
 The K. having left Carrickfergus for England, and taken her in cus- 
 tody with him, she again offered the 40,000 marks, with a penalty 
 of 10,000 more in case of failure in payment. The accord was put 
 in writing and ratified by oath ; William subsequently expressed his 
 consent. But when the first day of payment came, Maud stated 
 that she had not the money. The K. therefore commanded that 
 William should be proclaimed from county to county, and in case he 
 came not, that he should be outlawed according to the law and 
 custom of England. Subscribed by William Earl of Salisbury, 
 Godfrey Fitz Peter, Earl of Essex, Saier Earl of Winchester, Richard 
 Earl de Clare, Earl Alberic, Henry Earl of Hereford, William Earl de 
 Ferrariis, and others. [Blade Booh, Exchequer, Q. K, fo. 82-83, and

 de Marisco, resident at the K.'s Exchequer, and the other barons 
 thereof. Sends to the Bishop, Amfridus de Dena and Walter 
 Mauclerc, who will answer touching every point; and the K. 
 commands that in all his business the Bishop do what by counsel of 
 the K.'s faithful subjects of Ireland he may deem most conducive 
 to the K.'s honor and advantage. Commends the discretion of the 
 Bishop, and thanks him and the barons of Ireland for the oath of 
 fealty to the K. which the barons lately tendered. Had ordered 
 William Earl Marshall to remain in Ireland and diligently assist the 
 Bishop in expediting the K/s affairs ; had moreover commanded the 
 Earl and the K.'s barons that they put their seal to and send letters 
 similar to those sent by the magnates of England, and that they 
 notify to the K. under what form it seems meet to the common 
 council of the K.'s faithful subjects that the peace of the church be 
 confirmed without detriment to the K.'s independence and rights. 
 The K. further notifies that he sends W. Mauclerc and with him

 thanks him, but the Earl's presence in Ireland is necessary to the 
 K. and to the Bishop of Norwich ; wherefore the K. prays that the 
 Earl remain in those parts assisting the Bishop in expediting the K/s 
 business. Sends a transcript of the letters made to the K. by the 
 magnates of England, and prays that the Earl with the other barons 
 of Ireland put their seals to similar letters. As to his counsel about 
 establishing the peace of the church the K. commands that the Earl 
 notify under what form it seems meet to the common council of the 
 K.'s faithful subjects of Ireland that this peace should be confirmed

 without detriment to the K.'s independence and rights. The K. 
 further commands the Earl to better provide for his son, who is with 
 the K., and has no horses or apparel ; the K. will furnish him with

 any other of the Earl's knights who are with him ; if the Earrobjects 
 to this, he shall inform the K. and give an assurance that his son 
 shall not leave without the K.'s licence ; the Earl shall moreover 
 answer for his son's expenses. As for the belief of the Earl that the 
 K. wished to send his son to Poitou, the K. had no notion of the 
 kind and had not heard of it except from his justiciary. [Close,

 Moved with grief and astonishment they had lately heard that 
 the Pope proposed to absolve the subjects of the K. from their 
 fealty because the K. resisted the injury done to him regarding the 
 matter of the church of Canterbury [super facto Cantuariye ecclesise]. 
 God had given them their Lord to defend them ; therefore they ought 
 to defend their liege Lord with all their strength. All that had been 
 done regarding the church of Canterbury had been done against 
 the liberty and dignity of the K. and of the Crown of England. 
 Before the coming of the Normans the Kings of England conferred 
 at their will cathedral churches on many archbishops and bishops, 
 now saints. But after this period the Kings granted that elections 
 should be made, as they have hitherto been made, by assent of the 
 K. Their Lord is faithful to them ; they are his liege subjects ; 
 they and their forefathers have been nourished, enriched with 
 wealth and honours, and enfeoffed by the K. and his ancestors ; the 
 K. had never offended against the constitution or his subjects ; and 
 resisted in regard to the church of Canterbury that he might pre-

 HENRY III. 
 
 [Soon after 723. The K. to Geoffrey de Marisco, justiciary of Ireland. 
 Oct. 28.] Thanks him for the good and faithful service which he had rendered 
 to King John, the K.'s father, and will render to himself, and for 
 what he had intimated by Ralph de Norwich, clerk. 
 
 It had pleased the ruler of life and death to remove the K.'s lord 
 and father ; the regal obsequies had been celebrated in the church of 
 St. Mary, Worcester ; and the magnates of the kingdom had met at 
 Gloucester, where on the feast of Sts. Simon and Jude [Oct. 28], in 
 the church of St. Peter, amid the applause of clergy and people, he 
 had been crowned King of England by Cardinal Gualo, Papal 
 Legate. 
 
 It is the K.'s will to forget the angry feeling which once existed 
 between the K.'s father and some of the, nobles ; to uproot evil 
 customs, and by a renewal of liberties to restore the good days of 
 their noble ancestors. 
 
 The prelates, earls, and barons had lately met at Bristol and 
 rendered fealty ; the K. had granted to them the liberties and free 
 customs which they had previously asked for; and they had re- 
 turned home rejoicing.

 In regard to sending the Queen mother and the K.'s brother to 
 Ireland, the K. will consult the Council of his subjects, and act as

 The justiciary had been faithful to King John ; but the K. prays 
 that he prove even more faithful to himself, for his tender youth 
 requires it ; and that he take fealty from each of the Irish magnates. 
 
 The K. retains Ralph de Norwich in order that he may by him 
 more fully notify his will. His will is that the justiciary and the 
 K.'s subjects of Ireland enjoy the same liberties as have been granted 
 to the K.'s subjects of England. These liberties shall be granted 
 and confirmed to them. [Close, 1 Hen. III., p. 1, m. 25 dors.]

 Papal Legate, submitted to the K.'s council that they had elected 
 Robert de Bedford as Bishop of their vacant see, and prayed the 
 K.'s assent ; but it was objected that the election was null, as the 
 K.'s dignity required that this election, previous to being sent to 
 the K., ought to have been obtained for several days and confirmed 
 by the Pope, the K.'s licence having been [previously] demanded 
 and granted. The canons therefore renounced the election, sub- 
 mitted to the Council letters of the chapter constituting them proctors 
 in this election, and prayed licence to elect. This being granted 
 they elected the same Master Robert as Bishop. To this election, 
 thus made in proper from the K. gives his assent, and commands the 
 justiciary to deliver seisin to master Robert or his proctor accord-

 June 7. 878. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. Robert Bishop of 
 Waterford having, by mandate of G[ ], late legate of England, 
 
 gone to the North to consecrate the Bishop of Carlisle, Master 
 Robert of Bedford, with Masters Macrobius and David, canons of 
 Lismore, came to Pandulph, now legate in England, the K. and his 
 Council, and exhibited letters conferring on those canons power to 
 elect a pastor in the church of Lismore, which they stated was 
 vacant. The K., placing faith in the election of Master Robert so 
 made, gave the royal assent, and ordered him to be put in possession 
 of the goods of the see. The Bishop of Waterford having shortly 
 afterwards returned, submitted to the K. and Council that he and 
 his predecessors had long held the church of Lismore as part of the 
 see of Waterford, and exhibited to the legate and the K.'s Council 
 letters of J[ ], Cardinal of St. Stephen in the Coelian Mount, 
 
 formerly legate of Ireland, on the ordination of those sees. He 
 showed that though formerly separate, the sees had been united by 
 the legate, and alleged that no one could thus enter into possession 
 of a see over which he presided by suggesting what was false. The 
 K. now perceiving that he had been deceived by Master Robert as 
 to the vacancy of the church of Lismore, decrees that the Bishop of 
 Waterford be put in possession of the goods of that church, and 
 commands the justiciary of Ireland accordingly. Witness, Hubert 
 de Burgh, justiciary. Westminster. By letters of the latter and of 
 the Bishops of Winchester and Durham, written by authority of the

 [About 884. Henry Archbishop of Dublin, Papal Legate, to Hubert de 
 June.] Burgh, justiciary of England. Had spoken to the justiciary about 
 obtaining the service of the land of Walter de Lasci, to fortify a 
 castle to the use of Richard de Tuit in Delvene. As there are no 
 magnates in Ireland who will willingly afford him counsel and aid 
 in doing so, letters to them for that purpose will not avail ; where- 
 fore the Archbishop prays the justiciary, in order to obtain for him 
 the above service, to send the often-mentioned letters of the K., 
 which would be of such use in retaining the workmen. Great in- 
 convenience is felt in Ireland by the writ of Mort oV ancestor running 
 after the passage of King Henry from that country. It was 
 resolved in Ireland that when the justiciary went to the K. this 
 inconvenience should be submitted to the latter and his counsellors ; 
 but this was not done, the justiciary having hastily left England. 
 Wherefore the Archbishop prays the justiciary to use his influence 
 in order that these writs may run in Ireland from the same period 
 as they run in England, or, if possible, from the coronation of King 
 John. [Royal Letters, No. 212.]

 requested the latter, in presence of the magnates of that country, to 
 cause the officials of the forest to feed, as they were wont to do in 
 the time of King John, the servants placed in the forest for its 
 custody. The Archbishop answered that the forest and beasts were 
 his, and that he would not allow his men to feed the servants 
 against his liberty and the rights of his church. He also refused to 
 permit the servants to be kept on the K.'s demesne until the K. 
 should grant provision to Thomas for the custody. In order to

 see. The Archbishop's men dwelling in the forest allege that King 
 John released the Archbishop from the obligation of feeding the 
 servants because he ordered him to be quit thereof until his return 
 from Rome. 
 
 Moreover Thomas objects to any one having the custody on the

 Wigorn, 10 or 12 years before he married Leuca, and before the

 [About 904. Henry Archbishop of Dublin, Papal Legate, to the K.

 justiciary of Ireland, should repair to him in England, and that the 
 custody of that country should meanwhile be committed to the 
 Archbishop, the latter purposed going to the K. himself for various 
 reasons which he had signified to the K. by David, his messenger. 
 R. de Norwich having brought a further mandate that the justiciary 
 should hasten to the K., the latter prepared for his journey, when 
 David, the Archbishop's messenger, brought back the intelligence 
 that the Archbishop's presence in England would be pleasing to the 
 K. The Archbishop will then hasten to the K., as he is very 
 desirous to see him, to confer about his affairs, but chiefly to purge 
 himself from false aspersions. ( His fidelity having been proved 
 during his lengthened service with King John, a sinister suspicion 
 of this kind ought to be at once removed. Will therefore repair to 
 the K. ; but prays the latter to communicate by the bearer his 
 pleasure regarding the matters in question ; and to enjoin the justi- 
 ciary to hasten his departure, and commit the custody of Ireland to

 shall tell him ; and sends some secrets which he does not wish to

 to permit ships to touch at Earl William Marshall's ports de Insula

 Waterford. Westminster. [Close, 4 Hen. Ill, p. 1, m. 17.]

 daughter and heir of Adam, as the latter had from John, Bishop of 
 Norwich, by King John's order. Winchester. [Close, 4 Hen. III.,

 [About 920. Henry Archbishop of Dublin, Papal Legate, to King Henry 
 Dec] III. The Archbishop of Cashel, being about to depart for the Apostolic

 Geoffrey de Mariscis, the K.'s justiciary of Ireland, to be excommuni- 
 cated, unless restitution be made of the new vill of Cashel, taken 
 into the K.'s hand. The Archbishop of Dublin having conferred with 
 the suffragans and officials of the see of Cashel, and the K.'s justi- 
 ciary and barons, supplicates the K., by the restitution of the vill, to 
 withdraw the Archbishop of Cashel from his purpose of proceeding 
 to the Supreme Pontiff, and so prevent a cause of disturbance. The 
 revenues of the vill do not yield great profit to the K. [Royal

 [About 921. Thomas Fitz Adam to Ralph de Nova Villa [Nevill]. Had

 marriage portion out of the land of her late husband in that country. 
 The latter had purchased this land of William de Abbetot, nephew of 
 Philip de Wigorn and by his assent 10 or 12 years before he married 
 Lcuca and before Wfilliam] de Breouse, of whose gift she claims it in 
 marriage, came to Ireland. Geoffrey made with King John a fine of 
 200 marks to hold the land in capite, and the K. had the custody of 
 the land after Geoffrey's decease. Warns Ralph not to be too pre- 
 cipitate in satisfying demands of persons from Ireland. If the lady 
 above mentioned obtain her demand, the K. by the charter of 
 William de Breouse acknowledges the title of the heirs of William de 
 Breouse to the land in Munster. [Royal Letters, No. 826.] 
 
 1219-1220. 922. Northampton : — The burgesses of Northampton render their

 until the octaves of Easter, in order that matter of discord might be 
 avoided, the K. approves of this act of solicitude on the part of the 
 Archbishop of Dublin, and thanks him. The subjects of the K.'s 
 Council having hereupon held a conference, learnt that that vill had 
 come into the K.'s hands by the finding of a jury of persons of the 
 highest station and most worthy of faith in those parts. The Arch- 
 bishop of Cashel, though summoned to hear this finding, refused to 
 come. The K. then, being in possession of the vill, prays the Archbishop 
 of Dublin to restore it to the K. at the expiration of the above term 
 by the hands of the justiciary ; and offers on the part of himself and 
 his justiciary to exhibit justice to the suffragans and officials accord- 
 ing to law. Westminster. [Close, 4 Hen. III., p. l,m. 15 dors.]

 [About 925. Henry Archbishop of Dublin to the K. Had undergone 
 Jan.] great labour and expense for the K. and King John, his father. 
 
 Prays that the K. will command his justiciary of Ireland to refrain 
 from infringing on the possessions and dignities of himself and his 
 church obtained from King Henry II. and King John, and con- 
 firmed by their charters. [Royal Letters, No. 57.] 
 
 [Soon after 926. Thomas Fitz Adam to the K. Ireland is in a good state ; but 
 the octave the Archbishop of Dublin strives to disinherit the K. of his forest 
 of Hilary.] in that country, and subjects Thomas, the keeper thereof, to intoler- 
 able interference in regard to it. In the octave of the Epiphany last 
 past, when the justice in Eyre of the forest had come to inquire 
 regarding the K.'s rights there, some foresters shamefully beaten and 
 with tattered garments came to Thomas complaining that the Arch- 
 bishop's men cutting the K.'s wood in the K.'s forest had risen against 
 them, taken their wages by force, and assaulted them. The same 
 day a malefactor was pointed out to Thomas in the forest on the 
 Archbishop's land, who from the time of King John had spoiled the 
 forest. The persons sent to seek him found him in his house, which 
 having searched in order the better to attach him, they found his 
 bow, with a bloody arrow, a stag's antlers, also bloody, a hide, and 
 some venison. Thomas caused the good men of the K.'s vill in the 
 same forest to be assembled, brought the malefactor before them, and 
 put him in the K.'s prison. On hearing this, the Archbishop sent 
 the Dean of Dublin and three priests to demand the discharge of the 
 man as taken on church land. Thomas refused to discharge him 
 unless the Archbishop would give bail for him. On the same day 
 [Jan. 5] the Archbishop ordered all the priests within and without 
 Dublin to refrain from Divine Service if Thomas remained in the 
 vill. On the next day, the feast of the Epiphany [Jan. 6], two priests 
 came to Thomas demanding that the malefactor be surrendered, 
 otherwise they should excommunicate Thomas. The latter there- 
 upon appealed to the Archbishop ; if that were ineffectual, to the

 Pope ; and if that did not avail, he asked a respite until he should 
 speak to the justiciary. All this was opposed, and Thomas was 
 excommunicated. The latter having thereupon laid before the Arch- 
 bishop the grievance and disgrace put upon him, the Archbishop re- 
 plied that the man ought not to have been taken on his land, even if 
 he were in the forest ; and that the land, wood, forest, and beasts were 
 his. Thomas hearing that the Archbishop had brought the question 
 of the K.'s right before his own court, would not discharge the man 
 unless the Archbishop gave bail for him to appear before the K.'s 
 court, or at least before the justiciary at his Eyre ; this the Arch- 
 bishop refused. Thomas not having been absolved, wrote to the 
 justiciary for his directions ; the latter directed Thomas not to 
 release the man unless bailed as above. The justiciary also wrote 
 to\the Archbishop to recall the sentence ; but this did not avail. 
 Thomas is persecuted throughout the land ; intercourse with men, 
 and the convenience of towns are denied to him ; and he has been 
 prevented attending to carry out an important matter relating to the 
 K., namely, that the latter should have the gift of churches in Con- 
 naught, which he never had before ; nor could he be present at the 
 assizes in Dublin in the octaves of Hilary. It is thus that the 
 Archbishop promotes the K.'s affairs in Ireland. Some persons have 
 told the Archbishop that the K.'s chief bailiffs, by reason of the K.'s 
 privilege, ought not to be excommunicated without consulting the K. ; 
 but the Archbishop answered, that when he had seen the privilege he 
 would believe it. Thomas therefore prays that the K. will procure 
 his absolution from some person other than the Archbishop ; and that 
 he will provide good and lawful men in Ireland to execute his business 
 in opposition to the Archbishop, who seeks to disinherit the K. [Royal 
 Letters, JVb. 827.] * 
 
 [About 927. H[enry] Archbishop of [Dublin], Papal Legate, to Ralph de 
 Jan. or Feb.]Nevill, Dean of Lichfield. Although he has striven to do what is 
 good and prevent what is bad regarding the K., yet he hears that 
 he is held suspected by some persons. Having long shown devotion 
 to King John and to the K., the Dean will hold him innocent. Will 
 shortly repair to the K.'s Council in England to prove his innocence. 
 Is not only troubled by this suspicion, but by injuries and oppressions 
 described in his letters to the K. Beseeches the Dean to use his 
 efforts in defence of the church and of ecclesiastical liberty. The 
 Archbishop cannot believe that the K. would wish to impair the 
 great liberties conferred on the church by King John, or to revoke 
 those granted by himself iu the flower of his youth. Those liberties 
 arc known to and have been as it were approved of by the Pope and 
 his legate, have been confirmed by the impression of the K.'s seal 
 and the oath of his subjects ; and are contained in the K.'s charter 
 sent to Ireland. [Royal Letters, No. 805.]

 [Shortly 932. Henry Archbishop of Dublin, Papal Legate, to the K. The 
 before lands of his see have of old been free from foresters and other

 by the charters of King John, and if any one dared to infringe those 
 liberties the Archbishop's venerable predecessor by [the penalty of] 
 7 years interdict [septennis exilii] restored them to their proper 
 state. The K.'s charter lately sent to Ireland confirms those liberties ; 
 but T[homas] Fitz Adam, to whom the K. has committed his forest 
 of Ireland, seeks to afforest the Archbishop's land, to introduce new 
 oppressions and exactions, and to seize his men. Thomas has been 
 excommunicated by the Archbishop's archdeacon, but having re- 
 pented has been absolved. The Archbishop was about to repair to 
 the K.'s presence respecting these matters, when the K.'s messengers 
 arrived. As soon as he shall have consulted the justiciary, who is 
 absent in remote parts, he will, according to the answer of the latter, 
 decide what is for the K.'s benefit. In the meanwhile he prays the 
 K. to direct T [nomas] Fitz Adam to cease from his molestation, and 
 farther to give credence to what David, his messenger, shall say on 
 his behalf. Sends some small presents, and will either send or bring 
 larger ones. [Royal Letters, iVb. 802.] 
 
 March 10. 933. The K. to Henry Archbishop of Dublin, Apostolic Legate* 
 The Archbishop has made a grave complaint against Thomas Fitz 
 Adam, keeper of the K.'s forest, that contrary to the ancient liberties 
 of the church, he strives to afforest the Archbishop's lands, inflicts 
 new exactions, seizes and detains his men ; for which the Archbishop 
 has visited him with excommunication. The K. prays the Arch- 
 bishop to be as solicitous in preserving the K.'s right as he wishes 
 the K. to be in guarding the Archbishop's liberties. Has commanded 
 Thomas to desist from troubling the Archbishop with unjust exac- 
 tions, hoping that when the}' meet, amends will be made for any

 trespass against either of them. Thanks the Archbishop for his 
 prudence in regard to the election to [the see of] Achonry [Aca- 
 densis], which, as appears from his missive, was not canonically 
 celebrated, the royal licence to elect not having been previously 
 sought ; and also thanks him for the jewels he has sent, hoping to 
 have an opportunity of making a due return for the Archbishop's 
 munificence. Westminster. [Close, 4 Hen. III. p. 1, m. 14 dors.] 
 
 [About 934. Ralph de Norwich, the K.'s clerk, to the K. Prays the

 to certify to the K. and Council regarding many matters. [Royal 
 Letters, JS T o. 836.] 
 
 1220. 935. The K.'s citizens of Dublin to the K. After the departure 
 
 [Soon after from Dublin of Ralph de Norwich a controversy arose between the 
 March 22.] Archbishop of Dublin and the citizens under these circumstances : 
 — Two of the Archbishop's men from the mountains violently 
 assaulted a citizen and the wife of another citizen in the market- 
 place [forum] of Dublin ; they were thereupon attached by the 
 provosts ; but the Archbishop's bailiffs demanded their discharge, 
 claiming [the privilege of] the Archbishop's court. The citizens 
 thought that this ought not to be, because where an offence is com- 
 mitted, there it ought to be punished ; and because neither the 
 Archbishop nor his predecessors had ever deprived the citizens' 
 court of a plea of this kind. When pleas and the hundred were in 
 the hands of King John, his seneschals or bailiffs had jurisdiction 
 in plaints of this nature ; and after the K. granted the city in 
 fee farm to them, the citizens exercised that jurisdiction to this 
 day ; and they will continue to exercise it. For this reason the 
 citizens have not dared to abate their liberty ; they will not and 
 cannot do so without the K.'s mandate. The Archbishop says he 
 has a charter of liberty from King John ; but the citizens have never 
 heard of it, nor was such a charter read or carried into execution in 
 Ireland. Lately the Archbishop's bailiffs and the bail not having 
 appeared in court, they were amerced for non-appearance, and the 
 bail for not having the persons bailed in court. At the next hundred 
 they brought into the K.'s court one of the wrong-doers and not the 
 other ; for which reason the bail were again amerced. The Arch- 
 bishop's bailiffs having thereupon complained to Geoffrey de Marisco, 
 justiciary of Ireland, he sent his sheriff to the citizens' court, order- 
 ing that the Archbishop's men should have justice. But they, treating 
 with disdain the citizens' court and the complaint, called upon the 
 citizens by clerics to release the man under pain of excommunication. 
 The citizens demanded respite to certify to the K. or to consult the 
 justiciary, who was then absent in distant parts ; this they refused, 
 preferring to excommunicate the citizens. The latter having made 
 every offer within their power, forbade them on behalf of the K. to 
 utter any sentence against the citizens, and against the K's dignity 
 in his city. They thereupon interdicted the provost from entering 
 the church, and subsequently excommunicated him ; and did the like 
 in regard to the seneschal, and 24 principal men of the council ap-

 pointed to preserve the laws and liberties of the city. The citizens 
 thereupon pray the K/s counsel ; in upholding his dignity they 
 have entered on a great contest. [Royal Letters, No. 837.] 
 
 April 18. 936. The K. to Alan de Galweia [Galloway]. Hamo de Gal- 
 loway, clerk, has come to the K. and Council on behalf of Alan, 
 praying the restoration of his lands, and asserting that he was ready 
 to do homage and give a charter of faithful service. The K. com- 
 plies with the petition, orders the lands in Ireland given to Alan by 
 King John to be restored, and commands the justiciary of Ireland 
 to give seisin thereof to Alan or his emissary. Alexander King of 
 Scotland, and part of his Council, will meet the K. and part of his 
 Council at York, to make a treaty on matters touching the king- 
 doms of England and Scotland. The K. commands Alan to come 
 thither to render homage and a charter as above. The K. will do 
 what of right he ought to do regarding Alan's lands in England.

 in Ireland be restored to him. Mandate to the justiciary to give

 Bugh, induce the justiciary of Ireland to give him seisin of his land 
 of Balebuin, in that country, which King J ohn granted to him after 
 the departure of Hugh de Lascy from Ireland. Further prays that 
 the Dean will procure for him the K.'s letters touching this seisin. 
 Should have attended the court at Nottingham, but frequent casual- 
 ties in the marches obliged him to join a conference on that Friday 
 after the feast of the Holy Trinity. [Royal Letters, No. 292.] 
 
 July 26. 946. Mandate to the justiciary of Ireland to cause the Arch-

 he shall appoint ; and the constables shall give into the hands of the 
 Archbishop and of William Earl Marshall, their sons and daughters, 
 or their nearest relations, as sureties, and shall make charters of 
 faithful service to the K., which the Archbishop shall send to the 
 latter. For greater security of the foregoing, the justiciary delivers 
 to the K., Walter, his son, as a hostage, in custody of William Earl 
 Marshall, until the justiciary's son Thomas shall come to the K. to 
 remain during pleasure ; further, William Earl Marshall offers himself 
 as surety that the justiciary shall faithfully serve the K. and obey 
 his mandates and orders, and that neither of his sons shall recede 
 from the K.'s custody without licence of the latter, of the justiciary 
 of England, and of the K.'s Council : Moreover, the justiciary pledges 
 all his land to the K. as security for observance of these stipulations, 
 so that in case he violates them, all the land which he holds of the 
 K. shall accrue to the K., and all the land which he holds of the 
 Earl shall accrue to the Earl. The justiciary further binds himself 
 by oath to observe the foregoing stipulations, and subjects his per- 
 son to an excommunication and his land to an interdict if he does 
 not do so, or in case of transgression, fails to amend his acts if 
 admonished by the Archbishop. The justiciary having committed 
 his seal in Ireland for purposes of justice, the seals of the Archbishop 
 of Dublin and of William de Mariscis are, on his petition, put to 
 this deed until it shall be sealed with the justiciary's own seal.

 Aug. 15. 955. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. Some of the canons of 
 Ossory, during a late vacancy in their church, came to the K., and 
 having obtained from him licence in proper form elected as Bishop 
 Master Peter Malveisin, their brother canon. The K., believing the 
 election to be valid, gave his assent. But it appears ex post facto 
 that Master Peter was ineligible, because he was not born in lawful 
 wedlock ; and though he obtained from the Pope an indulgence ot 
 legitimacy, the Pope did not confirm his election, and the K. did not 
 grant a second licence to elect. Wherefore the K. revokes what has 
 been done in this election as of no effect, and commands the jus 
 ticiary to take into the K.'s hand the see of Ossory, and deliver the 
 custody thereof to Thomas Fitz Adam. The K. has written to the Dean 
 and Chapter in favour of John de St. John, that he may be promoted 
 as Bishop, and wills and commands that the issues of the see from 
 the time when the custody thereof was assigned to Master Peter be 
 restored to the K. The justiciary shall exact from Master Peter the 
 restoration of the issues, and safely keep them till the K. shall other- 
 wise order. Berkeley.

 Northampton. [Close, 4 Hen. III., p. 1, m. 3.] 
 
 Sept. 24. 967. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. The good men of 
 Dublin have informed the K. that a house has been newly erected 
 in the city of Dublin in the middle of a place and of a highway, to 
 the nuisance of the city. Mandate that the justiciary cause the 
 house to be viewed by good and lawful men, and if it be a nuisance 
 to the city, that he cause it to be removed. Northampton. [Close, 
 4 Hen. III., p. 1, m. 3.] 
 
 Sept. 24. 968. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. The good men of 
 Waterford grievously complain that vessels carrying merchandise, 
 wines, and other necessaries from ports of various countries, which 
 used to unlade at the K.'s port of Waterford, now unlade at other 
 ports, to the K.'s loss and that of the vill of Waterford. By these 
 means the vill is reduced to such want that the inhabitants, who 
 formerly enjoyed abundance, have scarcely enough to live upon. 
 The K., anxious to correct a state of things so injurious to himself, 
 commands the justiciary that, notwithstanding any orders to the 
 contrary, he do not allow ships to unlade at any port save the K.'s 
 port of Waterford. The K. moreover commands the justiciary that 
 he do not further burden the men of Waterford with prisage of their 
 wines, merchandise, and food, nor take from them anything by way 
 of loan or otherwise unless at their will ; and that he restore what- 
 ever he has taken in this way. Northampton. [Close, 4 Hen. III.,

 Sept. 24. 969. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. Collations to churches

 service due for the land of Walter de Lascy of Meath. Northamp- 
 ton. [Close, 4 Hen. Ill, p. 1, m. 3.] 
 
 Sept. 24. 971. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. A grave complaint has 
 reached the K. from some merchants frequenting Ireland and from 
 the good men of Dublin, that they are so burdened by the justiciary 
 and his bailiffs with undue exactions, as well by prisage as by loans 
 of wines, clothes, victuals, and other articles, that little is left to 
 them to live on ; and their goods are taken from them whether they 
 will or not under the name of loan, which makes the opprobrium 
 greater. This violent taking has rendered the city of Dublin and 
 other Irish cities so hateful to merhants of various countries that 
 none will go thither. The K. cannot longer bear with things so

 commands the justiciary that he do not further take anything by 
 way of loan in the vill of Dublin, or the K.'s other cities or vills, or 
 from a stranger, unless by the will of the sellers. If he take any- 
 thing on loan from the K.'s subjects he shall make satisfaction 
 within 40 days, and if from a stranger, he shall cause satisfaction to 
 be made at once. Otherwise the K. will cause amends to be made.

 security from the men of Dublin for the K.'s moiety. Newport

 Oct. 5. 974. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. The good men of the 
 K.'s city of Dublin have informed the K. that the city was al- 
 ways wont to have the Anna Liffey [Avelith] in such a condition 
 that any kind of victuals could be conveyed in boats up and down 
 to the city ; and the citizens and others always had a fishery on 
 that river. The prior and friars of the hospital of Kilmainham have 
 however lately made v a pool [stagnum] there, whereby the city and 
 citizens are much damnified ; their fishery is totally destroyed 
 because the pool prevents the fish from ascending ; and their boats 
 can no longer pass up and down as they used to do. Mandate to 
 the justiciary that, on view to be made by good men of the venue of 
 Dublin other than the citizens, he cause the river to be so enlarged 
 and the pool so rectified that ships and boats with every kind of 
 victuals, with stones and wood, may have free passage up and down 
 the river, and that fish may have free approach to the fisheries of 
 the K. and his subjects, and free return therefrom. Westminster.

 pleasure for 100s. yearly rent. But the justiciary had caused the 
 land to be extended for 30 librates, and taken it into the K.'s hand. 
 The K. is well pleased with that extent ; but it is his pleasure and 
 that of his Council that Thomas have and hold the land for 101. a

 March 8. 985. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. The practice in Ire- 
 land of having only one justice itinerant differs much from the 
 practice in England, where there were always several justices itine- 
 rant. It is not the custom for one justice itinerant to keep a record, 
 and the danger of there being only one roll is obviated by several 
 justices each having his roll. The K. and his Council therefore ordain 
 that to the sole justice itinerant now in Ireland two be associated, 
 namely, a knight and a clerk, and for this purpose the K. names 
 Thomas Fitz Adam and Bartholomew de Camera, the K.'s clerk. 
 With the present sole justice the latter shall make their Eyre and 
 administer justice according to the laws and customs of the kingdom. 
 The K. commands the justiciary to cause it to be so done, and to 
 provide Bartholomew with wherewithal to maintain himself on the 
 K.'s service. Huntingdon.

 Waterford, however, subsequently claimed a right to the possession 
 of the see of Lismore as united to that of Waterford, and demanded 
 its instant restitution to himself. He was not, as he alleged, sum- 
 moned to the election, nor was he absent by contumacy, but he had 
 gone by precept of G[ ], late Legate of England, to the consecra- 
 tion of the Bishop of Carlisle, and was thus prevented opposing. 
 Possession was therefore restored to the Bishop of Waterford. The 
 question between the Bishops having subsequently by mandate of 
 the Pope been referred to Pandulph Bishop elect of Norwich, 
 Apostolic Legate, Stephen Archbishop of Canterbury, and Benedict 
 Bishop of Rochester, possession was by definitive sentence assigned

 July 17. 1001. The K. to Thomas Fitz Anthony. Since the death of 
 King John the K. has received nothing whatever from the demesne 
 lands, rents of assise, or escheats of Ireland. Geoffrey de Marisco, 
 justiciary of that country, made a fine with the K. in England to 
 satisfy the K. for his shortcomings, and appointed a day for render- 
 ing the fine, undertaking that he would restrain the expenditure of 
 the keepers of the K.'s castles, and give security for those keepers ; 
 and he confirmed all this by oath and by deed. He has, however, 
 cared to observe none of these things. The K. commanded that all 
 the revenues of Ireland should be paid into the hands of the 
 treasurer and other bailiffs of the Exchequer, to be dealt with as the 
 K. should order ; Geoffrey nevertheless caused those revenues to be 
 received in his chamber, disposing thereof rather according to his 
 will than the K.'s mandates. The K. is thereby provoked to desire 
 that Geoffrey no longer preside over his land of Ireland ; and by the 
 common counsel and assent of his magnates and subjects of England 
 ordains and wills that Henry Archbishop of Dublin have the custody 
 and care of that land. Mandate that Thomas Fitz Anthony be 
 respondent and intentive to the Archbishop as the K.'s bailiff.

 Jan. 29. 1079. The K. to the Archbishop of Dublin. Henry de Verneuil 
 has informed the K. that a plea having been moved when Geoffrey 
 de Marisco was justiciary of Ireland, between Henry, as defendant, 
 and Walter de Ridelesford, as plaintiff, touching the land of Dovena- 
 broc, Henry came to England and remained long on the K.'s service. 
 Meanwhile, having been adjudged out of the possession of the land 
 by default, owing to his absence, Henry obtained of the K. letters to 
 warrant his default, and handed them to the justiciary ; but the 
 latter would do nothing herein because the letters came after judg- 
 ment. The K. therefore commands the justiciary to inquire into the 
 truth of these facts, and if they are as stated, then to give Henry 
 such seisin of the land as he had before judgment given. It would 
 be unjust that Henry should lose his land by default, when the K. 
 has duly warranted that default to him. [Close, 7 Hen. III., p. 1,

 April 14. 1096. The K. to the Archbishop of Dublin, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 Very many merchants of England, Poitou, and Gascony, and princi- 
 pally Stephen de Croy, have complained that when they arrive at 
 the city of Dublin they are not permitted to remain beyond 40 
 days unless they unlade their merchandise. In consequence thereof, 
 Richard de Naurs, Stephen's servant, last year made a fine of 100s. 
 with the bailiffs and burgesses of Dublin, for his lord's merchandise, 
 that so long as he remained in Ireland he might be free from a 
 similar exaction. Nevertheless, they have taken from him half a 
 last of hides in order to compel another fine. As it seems to the K. 
 unjust and hurtful to the kingdom to oblige merchants when un- 
 willing to unlade their merchandise ; and the K. does not believe 
 that the bailiffs and burgesses of Dublin obtained a warrant to do 
 so from himself or his predecessors, the K. commands the justiciary 
 to cause them to desist from this harassing of or extortion from 
 merchants, and to restore to Richard what they have taken, until 
 they show warrant for the purpose. Kennington. [Close, 7 Hen. III.,

 Dovenadbroc, before or after he came into England ; and if it 
 appears by the inquisition that Henry was impleaded by Walter 
 after he came thither, then the justiciary shall cause him to be re- 
 seised of the land, for the K. then warrants to Henry his default 
 by absence, for Avhich he was disseised ; and if Henry was impleaded 
 by Walter before he came into England, then the justiciary shall 
 cause Walter to have the seisin of the land which he previously had

 1223. 
 
 Council touching the land which Hugh de Lascy demands to have 
 restored to him in Ireland, the K. offered to commit that land with 
 its castles to the Earls of Chester, Salisbury, Gloucester, and to 
 Walter de Lascy for 5 years from Easter last past, to be restored at 
 the K.'s pleasure into the K.'s hands at the end of that term ; 
 provided they submitted to be compelled by their lands and 
 ecclesiastical jurisdiction to make this restoration ; but as they were 
 unwilling to undertake such an obligation, nothing was done. 
 Hugh, as the K. hears, is now plotting forcibly to invade the K.'s 
 land of Ireland ; wherefore the K. commands the justiciary to pro- 
 vide against Hugh's attack by fortifying with victuals and men the 
 K.'s Irish castles. Sends the Pope's letters of excommunication 
 against Hugh and his accomplices if they invade the K.'s land. 
 The justiciary shall use those letters at the proper time, and prepare 
 all things for the K.'s security and for Hugh's injury. Sends 
 William de Serland with his companions for the custody of the 
 castle of Carrickfergus and its wards. The justiciary shall provide 
 William and his companions with men and victuals for the fortifi- 
 cation of the castle as he may deem expedient. Westminster.

 June 4. 1112. The K. to the Archbishop of Dublin, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 Has heard the record of the plaint between Geoffrey de Marisco and 
 Eve, his wife, plaintiffs, and Reginald Talebot, defendant, touching 
 5 carucates of land in Dalkeia [Dalkey]. It is contained in this 
 record that when Reginald had answered what was objected to him, 
 he showed a charter of King John referring to that land, and by 
 reason thereof prayed peace till the K.'s age. He also called the K. 
 to warranty, and as he did not, as appeared to the court, have the 
 K. to warranty, Geoffrey and Eve, his wife, by judgment of the 
 court, recovered seisin of the land. A conference having been there- 
 upon held between the magnates of the kingdom and legal experts, 
 the sentence was that there is error in two respects ; 1st, because 
 Reginald did not have peace till the K.'s age, which according to the 
 custom of the realm he ought to have had by reason of the charter 
 aforesaid ; 2ndly, because when any person impleaded in the K.'s 
 court touching land has called to warranty, it is not in the power of 
 the caller, nay of the court, that the person called to warranty should 
 be summoned and compelled to appear to warrant, or to show why 
 he ought not to do so. If therefore Reginald did not have the K. to 
 warranty it ought not to have been reputed a default, as the K.'s 
 court is not above the K. to summon or compel the K. unless he 
 wills it ; wherefore there is error here also. The K. therefore com- 
 mands the justiciary to reseise Reginald in the land, the seisin of 
 Avhich he has lost by an unjust judgment. Westminster. [Close,

 1130. The K. to the Archbishop of Dublin, justiciary of Ireland. 
 Is informed by the good men of Dublin of some matters regarding 
 the justiciary, which the K. is unwilling to believe, namely : — 
 That the justiciary tries to make free from tolls and aids his men, 
 who participate in the liberty enjoyed by the citizens of Dublin, 
 and share in common with them the contract for things on sale ; 
 his clerks resort to the ecclesiastical court touching lay fees which 
 they bought within the bounds of the city ; if any of the clerk's 
 men, even a servant, have an action against a citizen, the latter is 
 dragged into that court, there to answer and abide the law ; if any 
 of the justiciary's men, on the contrary, commit an offence against 
 one of the citizens, that citizen is obliged to seek justice in the 
 justiciary's court ; if a baker is attached for light bread, and is even 
 convicted before the K.'s bailiffs, the justiciary thereupon has re- 
 course to his court, and demands the transgressor from the bailiffs, 
 dealing with him as he will ; the justiciary has erected a pillory in 
 the K.'s highway, claiming for himself what belongs to the K. ; 
 religious houses plead in the ecclesiastical court touching lands ; and 
 the justiciary leaves unredressed the purpresture which religious 
 houses make on the city of Dublin. These things are contrary to 
 the K.'s right and dignity, and to the custom prevailing from olden 
 time in all cities, vills, and places in the kingdom ; and are more 
 grievous and offensive to the K., and more disparaging to the fame 
 of the justiciary, because the K. has given the justiciary great 
 power as the K.'s lieutenant in Ireland. The K. therefore com- 
 mands the justiciary to refrain from these things ; otherwise he will 
 lay heavy hands on them. Tower of London. [Close, 7 Hen. III.,

 Tuit, one of his knights, a carucate of demesne land of the see in

 that, calling before him the Archbishop of Armagh or his bailiff 
 and William de Tuit, he cause an inquisition to be held ; and 
 if the] above facts are proved before it, that then he cause the 
 carucate to be restored to the Archbishop of Armagh. Westminster.

 1149. The K. to the Archbishop of Dublin, justiciary of Ireland. 
 It appeared by the justiciary's letters that Nicholas de la Feld sought 
 by assise of Mort d 'ancestor before the K.'s justices, to recover against 
 the Abbot and canons of St. Thomas, Dublin, 2 carucates of land in 
 Kelredheri, but an objection of bastardy having been made against 
 Nicholas, the proceedings were stayed in that court. Nicholas 
 thereupon, by order of the justices, sought to establish his legi- 
 timacy in the ecclesiastical court before the Archbishop, and pro- 
 duced witnesses. After publication of proofs, the Archbishop was 
 about to give sentence, when two minors, daughters of Richard de 
 la Feld, father of Nicholas, appealed that the Archbishop should not 
 proceed to sentence, because they would be thereby precluded from 
 hereafter seeking the inheritance. Deferring the appeal, the Arch- 
 bishop thereupon transmitted the cause to the Pope. The K. is 
 much moved with wonder at this proceeding, because by the produc- 
 tion of witnesses and the publication of proofs, there was ample 
 evidence before the Archbishop as to the legitimacy of Nicholas. 
 The minors were not parties to the assise, and the Archbishop erred 
 in declining, as it were, the K.'s inquiry, and transferring to a foreign 
 dignitary what ought to be determined by the K. Had Nicholas 
 acquired possession of the land by the assise, the minors might still 
 have claimed it by writ of right in the K.'s court. Wherefore by 
 council of his magnates and subjects, the K. commands the Arch- 
 bishop that, notwithstanding the appeal, he give sentence, and remit 
 the plaintiff with letters testimonial to the justices, that they may in 
 the plaint before them exhibit justice according to the law and 
 custom of Ireland. [Close, 8 Hen. III., p. 1, m. 17 dors.]

 Feb. 10. 1156. The K. to the Archbishop of Dublin, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 It appears by the inquisition sent by the justiciary that William 
 Fitz Henry held of Philip de Wigorn 10 carucates of land in Cnon- 
 cowrth and Baliduvelin ; that William, under form of peace and 
 against his will, Philip having inflicted some injury on him, granted 
 to Philip 2 carucates of land in Cnoncowrth ; and that Philip un- 
 justly disseised William of J carucate in Baliduvelin. As William 
 granted to Philip as above the 2 carucates in Cnoncowrth, the K. is 
 not advised by his Council that William have seisin thereof at

 Kathal remains, as the Archbishop of Dublin knows, firm in his 
 fidelity to the K. But the closer Kathal adheres to the K.'s service, 
 the more he is harassed by those who pretend fealty to the K., and,

 between Hugh de Lascy on the one hand, and those who pretend to

 fore, unless it is better that the peace of Ireland should be subverted

 office of justiciary, Thence he rode to the castle of Trum, where he 
 found some knights and others not assigned for its custody ; he shut 
 them up in the castle and besieged it with William de Lascy, its 
 lord. On hearing of the Earl's arrival, the K.'s Irish barons, with 
 the King of Connaught in partibus Mauthie [Meath ?], held a confer- 
 ence, came over to the Earl, and the barons rendered their service. 
 The latter will render material service in the war, and more espe- 
 cially Sir Geoffrey de Marisco, who by no means favours Hugh de 
 Lascy. The K. would do well to commend Geoffrey and the other 
 Irish barons in his letters. The K.'s citizens of Ireland are prompt 
 in the K.'s service, and they also deserve commendation. 
 
 Arrived at Trum, the Earl despatched Sir W. le Gros, his eldest 
 cousin, with 20 armed knights and 20 armed soldiers to Carrickfergus 
 [Cnocfergus], in Ulster, where they found Hugh de Lascy besieging 
 the castle. The latter sent 8 boats with armed men to harass them ; 
 but the knights and soldiers all safely entered the castle. When Hugh 
 saw this he raised the siege and retired. The Earl remaining at 
 
 Trum, sent a force of horse against William de Lascy 
 
 conquered him, and he with difficulty escaped. He had a brother 
 killed there. William killed his horse with his own hand, aban- 
 doned his arms, fled into a moor, and was obliged to throw himself 
 on the mercy of the Irish. The Earl's force took a great booty, 
 which was of much service to the army, and returned by a castle 
 of Michael le Gros, burning it, but saving what was there. Owing 
 to William's defeat the castle was abandoned. 
 
 The same day an Irishman named O'Reilly [Orauly], powerful in 
 his country, who had come to the K.'s peace after the Earl had 
 received the office of justiciary, rode over to a castle called Cronoc 
 [Cronog] Orauly ; sat down in an island and besieged the castle, 
 praying succour of the Earl. The latter sent knights and soldiers 
 to him, who took the castle. In it were the wife of William de 
 Lascy, the daughter of Llewellyn, Griffin's sister, the wife of Thomas 
 Blund, William's brother, and the mother of William, of Thomas, 
 and of him who was killed. Of these the wives of William de 
 Lascy and Thomas Blund are in custody ; and within 15 days after 
 these letters shall have gone, the mother of William, of Thomas, and 
 of him who was killed will be prisoners, unless her nephew, the 
 King of Connaught, return to the K.'s peace through her. The 
 Earl's knights besieged the castle of Kilmore and found there Sir 
 Henry Blund, William's brother, the constable, and other knights 
 and soldiers. These surrendered the castle, saving their persons and 
 harness, on condition of finding sureties for their faithful service. 
 On Wednesday, in the vigil of St. Peter ad Vincula [July 31], the 
 
 castle of Trum [?] was granted on condition that 
 
 they should give sureties for surrendering the castle on Sunday next 
 after the feast of St. Lawrence [Aug. 11]. On the latter day 7 
 weeks shall have elapsed since the castle was besieged. On each 
 day of the siege the Earl paid 161., excepting expenses and the pay 
 of foot soldiers. The lands of those within [the castle] are worth 
 little except that of William [Sanc]medle, which he has by his wife. 
 Since he has been in Ireland the Earl has only received 201. to this 
 date. Many knights, foot soldiers, and even free tenants, will defend

 Oraely, was taken by ORaelly, and Walter de Ridelesford and Richard 
 de Tuit sent to his assistance. In the castle they took William's 
 mother and wife, Luke, brother of Michael Grossus, and many 
 others. On Monday the castle of Kilmor was taken, and in it were 
 taken Henry Blundus, the brother of William de Lascy, and a clerk 
 called Hugh. William de Lascy's brother was killed, and his head

 granted to William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, while justiciary, in 
 aid of fortifying an Irish castle, the service due to the K. in Ireland 
 for the 10th year of the K.'s reign ; but the Earl did not have the 
 service. Mandate to the justiciary, that if he can do without it, he 
 cause the Earl to have the service for the purpose stated ; and that 
 he apprise the K. what service the Earl, Walter de Lascy, and the

 [About 1443. Geoffrey de Marisco, justiciary of Ireland, to the K. On 
 Aug.] arriving at Waterford the magnates there met him, and gave assur- 
 ances that they would obey the K.'s mandates. Was about to pro- 
 ceed thence to Dublin, in order to communicate those mandates to 
 all the K.'s subjects of Ireland, when he heard that William Earl 
 Marshall, by assent of Theobald Walter, was about to oppose his 
 passage with all the force of Leinster. 
 
 Having at length arrived at Dublin, the justiciary held a council, 
 when all there assembled rendered their oaths of fealty ; namely, all 
 the K/s English subjects of Ireland, excepting William Baron of 
 Naas, Walter de Rudelesford, Matthew Fitz Griffin, and John de 
 Clahull, of Leinster. Theobald Walter, who came to Dublin, as it 
 were, unwillingly, on being asked to take his oath, excused himself, 
 asserting that he could not, unless in presence of the Earl or by his 
 mandate, part with the custody of the castles confided to him by 
 the latter. In regard to this custody it is manifest that, notwith- 
 standing the oath of fealty which Theobald took when the justiciary 
 left Dublin, he has fortified the castle of Dublin with a force against 
 
218 
 
 CALENDAR OF DOCUMENTS 
 
 1226. 
 
 the K. All the castles of Ireland are fortified against the K., save 
 the castle of Limerick, in the custody of Richard de Burgh, who 
 always assists the justiciary in the K.'s affairs. All the Irish are so 
 banded together, and so wheedled by William Crassus, that they 
 cannot be recalled from their conspiracy. Does not believe that the 
 Earl is the cause of this ; but the justiciary cannot obtain from the 
 Earl's bailiffs the delivery of the K.'s castles ; they fortify them 
 more and more each day. Walter de Lascy and his knights will do 
 nothing against the K.'s dignity, because of the confederacy between 
 the Earl and G. de Lascy, Walter's son. 
 
 As to the King of Connaught, who at the instigation of William 
 Crassus, has become heedless of the K:'s mandates, the justiciary 
 summoned him to come to Dublin with and under safe conduct of 
 Walter de Lascy ; as the King did not come, the justiciary appointed 
 a day for him at the K.'s castle of Athlone, which is on the confines 
 of the King's territory, and is fortified with men and provisions 
 against the K. If he does not come thither, the justiciary will 
 proceed to carry out against him such orders as the K. may give. 
 
 Advises the K. to take into his hand the K.'s castle of Roscrea, 
 committed during pleasure to Theobald Walter. The latter has so 
 misconducted himself in regard to the K., that although he has mar- 
 ried the justiciary's daughter, and has by her a son, the justiciary 
 would, if it is the K.'s will, deprive him of all the land which he 
 holds of the K. in Ireland. So long as God shall prolong the jus- 
 ticiary's life, the K. need not fear the wickedness or craft of his 
 Irish enemies or others. All these Geoffrey will root out. As to 
 the transgressors above mentioned, the K. will please to punish 
 them as they deserve. 
 
 Prays the K.'s order in regard to these matters; and as to the 
 truth of his statements, calls to witness the archbishops, bishops, 
 magnates, and the K.'s subjects of Ireland. [Royal Letters, No. 835.]

 represented that whereas his predecessors have given in fee to some 
 of their tenants lands in the marches, on condition that they fortify 
 them and so render the marches safer, the tenants hold the lands 
 but do 'not fortify them. Mandate that the justiciary enjoin the 
 tenants to fortify their lands, and unless they do so, that he permit 
 William to take them into his hand and fortify them, or deliver 
 them to others to inclose and fortify. Wallingford. [Close,

 has represented that William de Lascy, custodee of the lands in 
 Ulster granted to Walter de Lascy, has disseised him of his lands in 
 that pro vice of the gift of King John. Mandate that the justiciary 
 cause Richard to be reseised of his lands. The K. does not desire 
 that the grant to Walter should cause injury to any person in regard 
 to his lands. Westminster. [Close, 10 Hen. III., m. 4.]

 Westminster. [Pat, 11 Hen. Ill, p. 1, m. 12.] 
 
 1451. The K. to the sheriff of Stafford. As it appears by King 
 John's charter that he granted to the Archbishops of Dublin who 
 shall not be Irishmen the church of Penkridge, which grant the K. 
 did not bear in mind when he conferred on Walter de Kirkeham 
 the deanery of Penkridge, the K. commands the sheriff that he put 
 the Archbishop in possession of the deanery, notwithstanding the 
 K.'s order to admit Walter. Westminster. [Close, 11 Hen. Ill, 
 p. 1, m. 24.] 
 
 1452. The K. to the Barons of the Exchequer. As it appears by 
 letters of John Bishop of Ferns, Treasurer of the Irish Exchequer, 
 that Hugh Hoese paid to William de Harecurt 100 marks out of the 
 fine of 500 marks which he made with King John, and that Hugh's 
 heirs paid at the Exchequer, Dublin, the remaining 400 marks, 
 besides 29£., the K. commands the Barons to cause the heirs to be 
 quit of the 500 marks. Westminster. [Close, 11 Hen. Ill, p. 1, 
 m. 24.] 
 
 1453. John Bishop of Ferns, Treasurer of Ireland, represents to 
 the K. that William de Cusac paid at the Exchequer, Dublin, when 
 Geoffrey cle Mariscis was formerly justiciary of Ireland, 100 marks, 
 for which he made a fine with King John to have his grace. Man- 
 date to the Barons of the Exchequer to cause William to be quit

 take into the K.'s hand, and safely keep till further orders, all the

 1457. Mandate to the justiciary of Ireland to retain on the K.'s 
 service Matthew Fitz Griffin and Richard de Cogan, and to provide

 1458. The K. to the barons, knights, and free tenants of Lagenya 
 [Leinster]. When King John went to Ireland he took with him 
 men expert in the law, by whose counsel, at the instance of, the 
 Irish, he ordained that English laws should be in force in Ireland ; 
 and left these laws reduced to writing under his seal at the Ex- 
 chequer, Dublin. Now the law and custom of England are, that if 
 a man marry a woman with an inheritance and he has issue by her 
 born alive, that man if he survive his wife shall have during his 
 life the custody of her inheritance, although she may have issue of 
 fall age by a former husband ; wherefore the K. commands the 
 barons, &c, that they do not give judgment in a plaint before the 
 court of William Earl Marshall between Maurice Fitz Gerald, plain- 
 tiff, and Geoffrey de Mariscis, justiciary of Ireland, defendant, or in 
 any other plaint in the like case. Westminster. [Pat, 11 Hen. III., 
 p. 1, m. 12.] 
 
 1459. The K. to Henry Archbishop of Dublin and his suffragans. 
 The Pope having ordered a liberal aid to be paid to the K. by the 
 clergy in Ireland and England, and the Archbishops, Bishops, and 
 religious houses in England having thereupon granted to the K. a 
 15th of their chattels and fees, and the inferior clergy a 16th of the 
 annual value of their churches, the K. prays the Archbishop to 
 induce his inferior clergy to pay to the K. a similar aid, and so 
 enable the K. to seize the opportunity of recovering his rights, 
 offered by the death of the King of France. As a' security to the 
 Archbishop and the Irish clergy that this subvention shall not be 
 drawn into a precedent or engender prejudice to ecclesiastical liberty, 
 the K. sends letters of immunity for that prelate and clergy similar 
 to those given to the prelates and clergy of England. Westminster.

 Dec. 10. 1460. The K. to the Canons of Penkridge. King John by his 
 charter granted the deanery and advowson of this church to Henry 
 Archbishop of Dublin and his successors who shall not be Irishmen ; 
 the K. unmindful of that grant, had conferred the deanery on Walter 
 de Kyrkeham, who resigned it ; and the K. thereupon quit-claimed 
 the deanery to the Archbishop according to the tenor of the charter 
 of King John. Mandate that the canons, according to the custom of 
 the church, render canonical obedience to the Archbishop, by Master 
 Zachary, his proctor. Westminster. [Pat, 11 Hen. III., p. 1, m. 12.] 
 
 Dec. 18. 1461. The K. to Geoffrey de Mariscis, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 Henry Archbishop of Dublin, by Warin, his clerk and proctor, has 
 surrendered to the K. the charter which King John, when Earl of 
 Morton, made to the church of St. Patrick's, Dublin, granting to it 
 lands to the value of 20£. a year for the damage which he had 
 caused thereto. The K. assigned to the Archbishop, in satisfaction 
 of that charter, the" vill of Brun, which the Archbishop has also 
 surrendered. As that vill is of the K.'s demesne, the K. commands 
 the justiciary to take it into the K/s hand and convert it to profit.

 the war against Hugh de Lascy ; and as the citizens have signified 
 that the Earl had not made payment of the money, the K. commands 
 Geoffrey de Mariscis to cause it to be paid. Westminster. [Close,

 England, and that the Archbishops, Bishops, and religious houses in 
 the latter country had thereupon granted to the K. a 15th, and the 
 inferior clergy a 16th, the K. appeals to the liberality of the Abbots,

 Jan. 18. 1480. The K. to the justiciary of Ireland. Had commanded 
 Henry Archbishop of Dublin, while justiciary, to cause Luke Arch- 
 bishop of Armagh to have such seisin of the lands of the see as 
 Eugene, his predecessor, had on the day of his death, and King 
 John had when he held custody of the see during its vacancy. As 
 the Archbishop has not executed the K.'s mandate, the K. commands 
 the justiciary to do so. Westminster. [Close, 11 Hen. III., p. 1, 
 m. 21.] 
 
 Jan. 18. 1481. The K. to Geoffrey de Mariscis, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 Luke Archbishop of Armagh has represented that certain of his 
 canons of Louth and others of the see, who were excommunicated 
 for contumacy and excesses, refuse to submit, and have persisted 
 in their contumacy for 40 days. The custom in England is, that 
 when the K. has received letters of archbishops and bishops, testi- 
 fying that excommunicated persons have persisted for 40 days and 
 more, the K. shall extend his hands to them, that is, they shall be 
 judged by their bodies according to the custom of England, until 
 they have made satisfaction to Holy Church for the injury done to 
 it and for their contempt. Mandate that when the K. shall have 
 received similar letters from the Archbishop of Armagh and the 
 other archbishops and bishops of Ireland, the justiciary shall judge 
 the excommunicated persons by their bodies, till they shall have 
 made satisfaction to Holy Church as above. Westminster. [Close,

 Jan. 18. 1482. The K. to Geoffrey de Mariscis, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 Having been informed that there is a site near the city of Armagh, 
 in the fee of Luke Archbishop of that see, fit for the fortification 
 of a castle, the K. had prayed the Archbishop to resign that site 
 and take 'an exchange for it. The Archbishop now intimates that he 
 complies with the request. Mandate to the justiciary to go or send 
 some one in whom he confides to see the site ; and if it would be 
 for the K.'s benefit and the safety of Ireland that a castle should be 
 there fortified, and the site is a fit one, he shall provide an exchange 
 for the Archbishop, and certify thereupon to the K. Westminster. 
 [Close, 11 Hen. III., p. 1, m. 21.] 
 
 Jan. 26. 1483. The K. to the Archbishop of Armagh. Sends Walter de

 and bailiffs through England and Ireland to dispose of castles, vills, 
 and other rights of the K., the Archbishops and Bishops of those 
 parts fulminate against them unjust sentences of excommunication. 
 As he who abuses his privilege deserves to lose it, and the Pope 
 wishes to preserve the authority of the K., the latter being specially 
 the son of the Apostolic see, his Holiness forbids the prelates afore-

 Rejoices to learn that he had safely "arrived in Ireland. All is 
 prosperous and pleasant with the K. and his kingdom ; and he much 
 desires frequently to hear the like, touching the justiciary and 
 Ireland. Thanks the justiciary for the intelligence that certain 
 persons had procured that a legate be appointed for that country ; 
 had previously heard the intelligence, and had sent to the court of 
 Rome to prevent a legate coming thither against the K.'s will. As 
 many complaints reach the K. from those in whose favour he has 
 sent letters to the justiciary that the latter is little pleasant, nay, 
 beyond measure harsh, in executing the K.'s mandates, the K. prays 
 the justiciary to receive his letters in kindness. Westminster.

 counsel of his magnates had given her to the Emperor as his wife ; 
 she by the K.'s will consented, and Peter de Vinea, the Emperor's 
 special envoy, swore that the Emperor would marry her. The Arch- 
 bishop of Cologne, the Dukes of Lorraine and Lemberg, and other 
 envoys will conduct her to the Emperor. Westminster. 
 
 The same is signified to Luke Archbishop of Dublin, the justiciary 
 of Ireland, and others. [Close, 19 Hen. Ill, p. 1, m. 18 dors.] 
 
 Feb. 25. 2252. The K. to the cardinals of the Holy Roman Church. Has 
 been informed that they feel aggrieved because they do not receive 
 500 marks of the annual tribute due to that church by the kingdom 
 of England and the land of Ireland ; but by the charter of King- 
 John granting the tribute it was provided that the whole amount of 
 it should go undivided to the Supreme Pontiff ; and the K. has so 
 paid it. If then the cardinals prevail on the Pope to order that the 
 K. answer to them separately for the 500 marks, they will find the 
 K. prompt in answering. Westminster. [Close, 19 Hen. Ill, p. 2,

 m order to obtain a ransom from them; while the K. betakes him- 
 self to their lands and tenements for the ransom due to him. It 
 follows that the prisoners are twice ransomed, which is unjust and 
 contrary to all law. Mandate that Richard deliver the prisoners 
 to Maurice Fitz Gerald, justiciary of Ireland ; saving however to 
 Richard the power to take from each imprisoned knight 100s. and 
 his harness, as is the custom in other countries.

 [About 2254. The K to Maurice Fitz Gerald, justiciary of Ireland. Thanks 
 * eb.] him for his laudable and faithful services, and prays him to continue 
 labouring for the tranquillity of Ireland. The K. being eno-ao-ed 
 on matters requiring some expenditure, commands the justiciary 
 to endeavour to Obtain money out of the fines of Richard de Bur4 
 and of prisoners taken in the Irish war; and as more profit would 
 accrue by converting to farm the Irish demesne lands than by retain- 
 ing them, the K. further commands the justiciary to let to farm b V 
 counsel of Luke Archbishop of Dublin and Geoffrey de Turville at 
 as high a rent as he can, the manors of Newcastle and Chapelizod 
 the city of Limerick with its fishery, and all the other demesne 
 lands of Ireland. The expense of the custody of Irish castles ought 
 to be reduced ; therefore the K. commands that fees be diminished 
 and that the castles be committed to custody for a certain sum 
 according to the exigencies of each. As payment of the fines of those 
 who were taken m the war by Richard de Burgh and Walter de 
 Kadeford is impeded by their persons being imprisoned in order to 
 obtain ransoms from them, and the K. betakes himself to their lands 
 for the ransom due to him, it follows that the prisoners are twice 
 ransomed. As this is unjust, the K. commands Richard and Walter 
 to deliver the prisoners to the K., with liberty to Richard and 
 Walter to take from each knight imprisoned, as is the custom 
 in other kingdoms, 100s. and his harness. Ralph Bishop of Chi- 
 chester, the K.'s chancellor, having committed the execution of his 
 office m Ireland to Robert Luteral, treasurer of St. Patrick's 
 Dublin, and it being necessary that the latter take share in the K 's 
 counsels and business, the K. commands Luke Archbishop of Dublin 
 that m the presence of the justiciary and treasurer he take from 
 Robert an oath to be faithful to the K. and his chancellor, and not 
 to reveal their counsels. 
 
 The K. signifies to Luke Archbishop of Dublin the articles con- 
 tained m these letters, and prays him to carry them into effect ;

 Dublin, and treasurer of Ireland. [Close, 19 lien. Ill p. 1 m 18

 thereupon ; but as the Archbishop can more readily gain this infor- 
 mation from the justiciary than from any other person, the K. com- 
 mands the justiciary to communicate', to the Archbishop what he 
 has heard on the subject. Nottingham. [Close, 19 Hen. III.,

 Aug. 30. 2356. The K. to Maurice Fitz Gerald, justiciary of Ireland. 
 
 Knights of the latter from that country had submitted to the K. 
 that when an inheritance in Ireland devolves upon sisters, the 
 justices in Eyre there are uncertain whether after-born sisters 
 ought to hold of the eldest one, and to do homage to her for their 
 portions, or to hold of the chief lord and do homage to him ; and 
 had asked the K. to certify what was the usage in England. 
 The K. thereupon states the law and custom in England as fol- 
 lows : — If a tenant in capite had daughters heirs, on his death the 
 K. and his ancestors always had the homages of all the daughters ; 
 each of them held of the K. in capite ; and if they were within age 
 the K. had custody of them with their marriage. If they held 
 of any one but the K., and were within age, their lord had the 
 custody and the marriage of each, and the eldest rendered homage 
 to the lord for the rest ; the other sisters when they reched their age 
 rendered their services to the lord by the hands of the eldest, nor 
 could the eldest demand from the after-born sisters homage, custody, 
 or other feudal subjection, for this reason, that as all the sisters are 
 quasi one heir of one inheritance, if the eldest could have the homage 
 and custody of the other sisters, then the inheritance would be 
 divided, so that the eldest would be lady and heir in one inheritance, 
 heir namely of her own and lady of her sisters portion ; this could 
 not be, since the eldest can claim no'more than the youngest, unless 
 the capital messuage by right of Esnecy. And moreover, as the 
 eldest is heir of all the other sisters who die without issue, if she 
 could have the custody of her sisters or of their children, this would 
 be as it were " to give the lamb to the wolf to devour." Where- 
 fore the K. commands the justiciary to cause the English customs in 
 this case to be proclaimed and maintained in Ireland. Nottingham.

 Earl of Pembroke, in place of the port of Waterford, the K. had 
 commanded the Earl to cause this to be prohibited. Mandate to

 Earl's land shall touch for the future at Ross or the island, under 
 pain of forfeiture ; but that masters of ships shall go with their

 Ireland. Has commanded the justiciary of Ireland to assess a toll

 Nov. 2. 2366. The K. to his justiciary of Ireland. Thanks him for his 
 service, for his diligence in transacting the K.'s business in Con- 
 naught during the previous summer, and for the treasure he had 
 lately sent. Having learnt from Luke Archbishop of Dublin and 
 others that it would much conduce to the tranquillity of Connaught 
 if, in addition to the 3 castles which the justiciary has fortified 
 there, he should fortify 2 more in the ensuing summer, the K. is 
 well pleased that it should be so. The justiciary shall draft men 
 for this purpose [attractum fieri faciatis] in Lent, and the K., whether 
 he goes to Ireland in person or not, will send some one on his behalf 
 to assist the justiciary with his counsel in carrying on the work. 
 Being much is need of money, has determined to ask the magnates 
 of Ireland, as well prelates as others, to grant him an aid in his 
 necessity, as the prelates and magnates of England have done. If 
 the justiciary believe that the Irish magnates will comply with the 
 K.'s request without repining and without complaining of the losses 
 which they have suffered for the K. in the war, then the justiciary 
 shall lay this request before them, and cause the aid to be collected, 
 and the money thence arising to be safely kept till further orders. 
 Otherwise he is not to communicate the K.'s request or his letters. 
 But in either case he is to cause the cities, burghs, and demesnes in 
 Ireland to be taxed as in England, and to collect the proceeds with 
 all other moneys which he can obtain. Westminster. [Close, 21

 land as his escheat. But as the land cannot, according to the custom 
 of the country, be the Bishop's escheat, and as William did not hold 
 it immediately of the Bishop, the K. commands Maurice Fitz Gerald,

 Dec. 6. 2370. The K. to Luke Archbishop of Dublin and Maurice Fitz 
 Gerald, justiciary of Ireland. The Dean and Chapter of Ardfert 
 having, during vacancy by resignation of G[ilbert], late Bishop 
 of Ardfert, elected another bishop without the K.'s licence, they 
 urgently prayed the K. to give the royal assent to their election. 
 As it is usual on vacancy of a see to demand the K.'s licence 
 before proceeding to elect, the K. does not deem proper to derogate 
 from his right by granting the petition of the Dean and Chapter ; 
 this election is therefore void as regards the K. Nevertheless, 
 hearing that this see is poor, the K., to save it from expense, gives 
 to the Archbishop and justiciary power to grant on his behalf to 
 the Dean and Chapter licence to elect ; and on their again proceed- 
 ing to do so, to give the royal assent to a clerk faithful to the K. 
 and to Ireland. Mandate accordingly to the Archbishop and jus-

 The K. will not and ought not to hearken to their prayer ; but in 
 order to spare trouble and expense to the Dean and Chapter, he has 
 granted power to Luke Archbishop of Dublin and the justiciary of 
 Ireland to give them licence to elect. Lest the K. should seem to 
 derogate from his right, it is necessary that the Dean and Chapter 
 should demand this licence and again elect ; and as by allowing six 
 months to elapse they may afford the Archbishop an opportunity of 
 laying his hand on the see, the K. prays the latter that he will 
 attempt nothing against the K.'s dignity and wishes. [Pat., 21

 May 1. 2386. Geoffrey de Mariscis represents, that whereas William, his 
 son, outlawed for the death of Henry Clement, held of Geoffrey the 
 land of Kilmeh alloc, in Ireland, and Geoffrey himself held it of the 
 Bishop of Limerick, the latter has caused the justiciary to seize the 
 land as the Bishop's escheat. But as this land cannot be the Bishop's 
 escheat, unless William held it immediately of the Bishop, the K. 
 commands the justiciary to cause Geoffrey or his messenger to have 
 seisin of the land. Reading. [Close, 21 Hen. III., m. 14.] 
 
 May 2. 2387. Adam Abbot de Magio [of Monasternenagh], complains that 
 Maurice of London having impleaded touching lands and tenements in 
 Ireland, Brother William, formerly Abbot of that house, his predeces- 
 sor, who afterwards retired from the abbey, and Brother Donatus, his 
 successor, subsequently deposed, Maurice pursues his plaint against the 
 abbey during vacancy caused by the retirement of Brother William 
 and the deposition of Brother Donatus, till the promotion of Adam. 
 As there is no one to answer the plea during that time, Maurice 
 seeks grievously to damnify the abbey for the defaults which he 
 says it then made. It being manifestly unjust and contrary to law 
 that the abbey should suffer under these circumstances, the K. com- 
 mands Maurice Fitz Gerald, justiciary of Ireland, not to summon the 
 abbey, nor allow to be reputed as defaults what occurred in the 
 time aforesaid. Reading. [Close, 21 Hen. III., m. 15 dors.]

 and what disposition the K. should make of his lands there ; how 
 the K. could most conveniently go to Ireland in person ; whether 
 with or without provisions ; and with a small or great force. The 
 justiciary had not come, but had sent Hugh de Legh and William 
 Long in his place, who had certified on those subjects. The K. will 
 shortly send one of his subjects in whom he confides to fully inspect 
 the state of Ireland, and with the justiciary to make provision 
 regarding the K.'s lands not yet settled or allotted, and his other 
 affairs. It is the K.'s will that this person be assigned, with Luke 
 Archbishop of Dublin and others, to audit the justiciary's account of 
 receipts and expenses. Mandate that custody of the K.'s castle of 
 Dublin be delivered to him ; that he reside there, and provide stores 
 for the K.'s use ; and that with the Archbishop and others he audit 
 the account. The K., after the marriage of his sister to the Emperor

 as his magnates and subjects of England had done, to pay off the 
 large sum which he had given with his sister to the Emperor ; but 
 as yet he had not obtained from. Ireland the scutage of 2 marks. 
 The magnates of England had again most liberally assisted him by 
 granting an aid of a thirtieth of all their moveables ; and the K. 
 hopes and believes that the justiciary and the K.'s subjects in 
 Ireland will with equal readiness and kindness assist him. Mandate 
 that the justiciary endeavour to procure payment both of the 
 scutage of 2 marks and of the thirtieth ; but if he cannot obtain both, 
 that at least he obtain payment of the last for the present ; and that 
 he certify the result to the K. As to his petition about the land of 
 Thomond, the K. hopes from his devotion that the justiciary will 
 remain content. Nottingham. 
 
 Similar letters, mutatis mutandis, to Luke Archbishop of Dublin. 
 The K. had commanded his justiciary of Ireland to deliver to his 
 subject above named, the K.'s castle of Dublin, for the more con- 
 venient despatch of the K.'s business. The magnates of Ireland 
 having done nothing regarding the aid of 2 marks demanded of 
 them after the marriage of the K.'s sister to the Emperor of Ger- 
 many, the K. had commanded the justiciary to endeavour to pre- 
 vail on them to grant it, with a further aid of a thirtieth, as the 
 magnates of England had done; and prays the Archbishop to do 
 the like ; would rejoice to be relieved by the Archbishop of his 
 immense debts. When the K.'s subject above named shall arrive 
 in Ireland, the Archbishop shall, with him and others, audit the 
 justiciary's account.

 that he was so born, he cannot, according to the custom of England, 
 sue for or keep possession of an inheritance ; and he is not, if he 
 says he was born after wedlock, to be sent to the ecclesiastical court, 
 because the clergy hold a person born before wedlock as legitimate.

 The Bishop, though he has taken the Oath of fealty, is oppressed

 has given judgment regarding the Bishop's lands, and despoiled him 
 of his manors. Wherefore the Bishop sends A[ ], his arch- 
 deacon, bearer of these presents and proctor and messenger of his 
 clergy, supplicating the K. that as his predecessors, Bishops of Down,

 Ireland, the royal assent to the election of Geoffrey de Turville, late

 bishop of Dublin, in order to avoid, as it is said, imminent peril to 
 the church of Ossory, has confirmed the Archdeacon before he was 
 presented to the K. and his election received the royal assent, as is 
 the custom in Ireland and England, the K. commands the justiciary 
 to give seisin to the Elect of the lands of the see, having first re- 
 ceived letters of the same Archbishop, of the Dean and chapter of 
 St. Patrick's, the Prior and convent of the Holy Trinity, Dublin, and 
 the Dean and chapter of Ossory, protesting that no prejudice shall 
 be caused to the K. by this confirmation made contrary to the 
 custom of the kingdom ; and that the proceeding shall not be drawn 
 into a precedent. St. Albans. 
 
 And lest in progress of time prejudice be caused to the kingly 
 dignity by this confirmation, the Archbishop is ordered to make 
 such reparation as the K. will permit, namely, by sealing with the

 with the seal of the chapter, as well as with the Archbishop's seal.

 July 7. 2717. The K. to the Archbishop of Armagh. Did not believe 
 before this occurrence that the Archbishop could wish to obtain any- 
 thing prejudicial to the kingly dignity, and the K. is grieved to 
 think that this is not so. The Archbishop has given two subjects 
 of complaint to the K., first because he obtained from the Pope that 
 the K.'s subjects should be sued out of the realm concerning lands 
 and advowsons of churches ; and secondly, because his petition 
 makes mention of the K.'s privilege. Wherefore the K. forbids the 
 Archbishop, as he values the possessions which he holds of the K., 
 from suing the Prior of Lantony or any other person regarding 
 lands and advowsons without the realm, or in an ecclesiastical court. 
 To do this would be subversive of the K.'s crown and dignity.
