llalph dc Ucndavillc appears as Archdeacon of Lcighlin in 1210, but lie had not 

 reached that dignity when ho witnessed this instrument (cf. Charter 7). He 

 appears earlier as witnessing a charter granted by Strongbow (before 1176).' 



For Milo Fits Bishop see p. 8, and for Thomas Fitz Anthony p. 15. 



Philip de Prendcrgast was son of Maurice de Prendergasi;, from the Flemish 

 colony in Pembrokeshire, who had been granted land near Wexford by Strongbow. 

 Philip, who was one of William Marshal's men (although not uniformly loyal to his 

 lord), married Matilda de Queney (see Charter 18) in 1108, and thus became lord 

 of the manor of Enniscorthy. He appears frequently as a witness to charters of 

 this period.- He died in 1229. 



Walter Parcell was another of William Marshal's men. He held land adjoining 

 that of the St. Legers in co. Kilkenny,^ and was the founder of a well-known 

 Kilkenny family. He appears as seneschal of Leinster in 1219,* and as witness to 

 many charters varying in date from 1200^ to 1202. 



William dc St. Lcger was granted the parish of Tullaghanbrogue, co. Kilkenny, 

 at the invasion ; and the family kept the property until the Cromwellian confisca- 

 tions, when it was given to the Cuffes. Geoffrey St. Leger, bishop of Ossory from 

 1260 to 1287, was presumably of the same stock. William was a benefactor to St. 

 Thomas' Abbey, ° and either he or his sou (who had the same name) made a grant to 

 the convent of Duiske (see Charter 48). 



Thomas de Dimmer may have been of the kin of Philip Dumer, who held 

 Marshal lands at Dysert, co. Kilkenny, in 1247." 



Maurice dc London witnessed King John's Charter to Dublin in 1200,* and 

 William Marshal the elder's charters to Tintern" and to Duubrody,'" about 1208 ; 

 as well as Walter Marshal's charter to the latter abbey in 1244." In Eichard 

 Marshal's deforestation charter of 1233 he is named as holding land in the vicinity 

 of Boss.'- He appears again (if this be the same man) in Charter 59. 



William dc Caunteton. The Cauntetons (or Condons, as they have been called 

 in later times) acquired the lordship of Glasscarrig, near Gorey, co. Wexford, 

 towards the end of the twelfth century. This William de Caunteton may be 

 identified with the man of that name who witnessed grants to St. Thomas' Abbey 

 before 1189," and about 1200." He is mentioned in Charter 14 as the husband of 

 Cecilia, the daughter of Alan Beg (see p. 11, and further, p. 85). 



John de Pcnriz appears in the year 1205," as receiving a writ of Mort 

 d' Ancestor against Theobald Walter, touching land in Arklow. 



For Eustace de Bartolomontc see p. 17.
