Tills charter, wliicli was of great importance to the Abbey (see no. 56, below), 

 has lost its seal. It is the Confirmation of his father's grants by William Mui;-hal 

 tho younger (see p. 81); and, from the names of the witnesses, it must be of 

 approximately the same date as his charters to Kilitenny,' Carlow,' and St. John's 

 Priory, Kilkenny,' ami may be set down as of the year 1223.' 



Peter Malveisin, although elected in 1218, was not consecrated to the bishopric 

 of Ossory until the end of 1221 or the beginning of 1222.' He died in 1280 or 

 1281. 



We have had before John Marshal (p. 15), Thomas Fits Antony' {p. 15), and 

 Walter Purccll (p. 21), all of wliom witnessed the Foundation Charter of the elder 

 Wilham Marshal. 



Tlie attestation " Willelmo Crasso ntroque" seems to mean that both the 

 brothers called William Crassm (see p. 16) were present on this occasion.
