Hamo Crassus is often associated with his bvotlier as a witness.' 



Fulk Fits Warm man-ied Matilda, the widow of Theobald Walter the first (see 



p. 82) in 1207, and he appears as one of the Marshal tenants in 12-16.= A letter 



from him to Hubert de Burgh, justiciar, is extant.' 



There is a charter of Hennj la Butler in the Kegister of St. Thomas' Abbey.* 

 Beglnald de Kernel and Henry de Kernel appear again in Charter IG. Reginald 



also signs Charter 46 as Sheriff of Kilkenny about 1233. Henry appears in an 



unpublished Kells charter of date about 12-10 ; his wife's name was Claricia. 



Masler Deodatus, one of the earl's clerks, signed his charter to Kilkenny in 



1223. His signature is not attached to the later charter to Carlow. It is possible 



that he is to be identified with the Deodatus who became bishop of Meath in 1224, 



but there is no direct evidence. 



Master Henry, another of the earl's clerks, signed his Carlow charter. 



In the Extracts from the Duiske registers (EL) we have a record of an 

 acquisition of land by the convent in the year 1223, which should be noted 

 at this point. 



At the end of the twelfth century a Benedictine priory was founded at 

 Glasscarrig, near Gorey, co. Wexford, from the Abbey of St. Dogmael's in 

 Pembrokeshire. And in the year 1223 (as appears from the name of John 

 [St. John] bishop-elect of Ferns, as a witness) two carucates of land in 

 Bantry, which had been granted to Glasscarrig Priory by Adam de Caunteton 

 (see p. 21), were transferred to the abbey of Duiske (see no. 41), by an 

 agreement made by Andrew, abbot of St. Dogmael's, between the Prior of 

 Glasscarrig and Thomas the abbot of Duiske. Besides John St. John, two 

 other witnesses are named in the precis in E, viz., "William de Caunteton 

 senior, who was Lord of Glasscarrig (p. 21), and Pdchard Prendergast 

 (see p. 42, below).

' William Crassus senior and Hamo Cvaasus attested in 1222 the charter of William 

 Marslial the younger, confirming the foundation of Tintern in Monmouthshire (Dugdale, 

 Monasikon, v, 267).
