The union of Killenny with Duiske was long resented by the abbey of Jerpoint, 

 of which Killenny had been a daughter house, and we shall meet with the dispute 

 again (nos. 85, 86). Complaints seem to have been made, after the union had been 

 formally ratified (see nos. 19-22), by monks of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire, as well 

 as by those of Jerpoint, which had been affiliated to Fountains by an Act of the 

 General Congregation of the Cistercians in 1227.' 



For Stephen, abbot of Stanley, see p. 53.

 Shropshire), we have here the certificate of thirteen Irish Cistercian abbots, viz. : — 



A., abbot of St. Mary's, Dublin. 



TF., abbot of Nenay, situated about 7 miles west of Limerick, and called • de

 founded with Nenagh in co. Tipperary.
