The fragments of two seals still adhere to this charter, which must be about 

 the same date as no. 8, viz. 1216. It was granted in the presence of Hugh le Rous, 

 bishop of Ossory (p. 15), and of William Marshal the elder (p. J2} ; and most of 

 the witnesses have come before us in earlier charters. Thus Osbert, prior of 6t. 

 John's and Bobert o/ Gowran have appeared in no. 8 ; lidjinald, prior of Kells, in 

 no. 6 (p. 22) ; Williarrt Crassm in no. 2 (p. 16) ; Odo Archdckyne in no. 1 (p. 14) ; 

 WalUr Purcdl in no. 3 (p. 21) ; Gmj de Cultura and I'hilip the clerk m no. 2
