The seal of lUchard of Flanders is gone. His grant is confirmed in Charter 

 no. Id about 1225, whore also we meet his son Matthew. .Tohn of Flanders, 

 •' miles," i.e. Knight, witnessed .John Fitz Geoflfrey's charter to Kells, which must 

 be dated after 1234, as it seems to have been executed after William Fitz Geoflfrey's 

 death in that year.' 



William dc Valle and Gilbert de Valk were members of the family who held 

 Marshal lands at Tulachany (see p. 20, above). Both names appear in one of the 

 Christ Church deeds at Dublin (no. 2.5) about the year 1218, and the same persons 

 are probably indicated here. Gilbert de Valle was a brother of Stephen de Valle, and 

 apparently a nephew of the .Man de Valle with whom we have met in Charter 3. 

 They were contemporaries of Alan Beg.' 



Of Henry, llie cliaplain of Cahirlcskc, we know nothing. Cahirleske is near 

 Ballaghtobin, south of Kells in co. Kilkenny. 



Reginald, chaplain of Kiltrani, may be the same person as " Reginald the 

 chaplain " who witnessed .John Fitz Geoflfrey's charter to Kells after 1234. Kiltrani 



' The Charter is printed (and wrongly dated, .as Mr. Orpcn has pointed out) in 

 Chnriae. Sic. p. 1". ^ .See above, p. 11, and R.T.A. 107.
