Charters 17, 18, 41, 79 are all concerned with the land of Rathboghal or Rath- 

 bachlach (liath bacltaill ?) in the barony of Bantry, co. Wexford, of which the over- 

 lord was Philip de Prendergast. Perhaps, as Mr. Goddard Orpen suggests, we 

 should identify liatftboghal with bis demesne of Monksgrange, 10 miles from 

 Enniscorthy. 



No. IG must be prior to no. 17, which again seems to have been executed before 

 the death of Philip de Prendergast in 1229 (p. 21). It may be dated about 1226. 



liichard de Marisco or Marsh is, along with Raymund de Valle (p. 39), witness 

 to a charter executed between 122.3 and 1243.' lie is described as "dominus 

 Bicardus de Marisco, miles," i.e. knight, in no. 79. 



For Sicholas de Hintcberg see p. 17. I'hilip dc Hintebcrg appears again about 

 1248.' Tlie de Kernels we have had already (p. 35) about 1223 ; and also Sicholas 

 le Marchis or Marsh (p. 37 ) about 1224. 



liobcrt de Cardiff or Kerdijf, who was a knight {miles), and owned lands in the 

 neighbourhood of St. Mullins, co. Carlow (see nos. 4C, 47, 4)4), appears in a dated 

 charter of 1227 (no. 23). He is perhaps to be identified with ' R. de Cardiff' who 

 appears about 1229 in one of the dee<1s of Christ Church, Dublin.' A Robert de 

 CardiflF. probably of tlie same family, was Provost of New Ross in 1285.' 



lloijcr Russell also appears again in nos. 46, 47. 



Richard Talun or Tallon witnessed a charter of Thomas Fitz Antony,' which 

 most have been executed before the latter's death in 1229 (see p. 15).
