Bernard — The Charters of the Alley of Duisl-e. 17 



three — William senior, William junior, and Ilamo— apparently came to Ireland 

 in William Marslial's train, and their names often appear as witnesses to the 

 Marshal charters.' One of the family held Marshal lands at Ofl'erlanc, Queen's 

 Co., in 1247;'' and they settled finally at Tullaroan, co. Kilkenny. They were the 

 ancestors of the Graces of Courtstown, a well-known Kilkenny family.^ William 

 le Gras senior, who appears here, became seneschal of Leinster (see Charters VA, 

 14), and lived at any rate up to 1235.^ 



&U1J de CuUura appears again in no. 9. Cultura may be the Latinised form 

 of Couture, in the diocese of Mans, where there was a Benedictine monastery. 



Nicholas de Hinteberg. The family of Hinteberg or Henneberry, as it came to 

 be called, were settled at the beginning of the fourteenth century in the parish of 

 Owning, in the barony of Overk, eo. Kilkenny ; and the townland of Ballyhenne- 

 berry preserves their name to this day. Nicholas appears again as a witness to 

 Charter 16. 



Boger Fitz Everard witnessed a charter of William Marshal the elder, being a 

 release to Hugh bishop of Ossory, another witness being Thomas Fitz Anthony. ' 



Eustace de Bartolomonte, who appears again in Charters 3 and 4, witnessed 

 also a grant by Thomas Fitz Anthony to Dunbrody Abbey." See p. 15, above. 



Philip the clerk, who appears again in Charters 9, 18, 14, was a witness to 

 William Marshal the elder's Charters to Dunbrody' and Tintern.* 



This deed is mentioned in the extracts from the Duiske registers (E), where it 

 is described as " Relaxatio Adami filii Sinath in comitatu Wesefordiae." It had 

 one seal, which has disappeared.
