This charter may be approximately dated as of the year 1237. It must be prior 

 to no. 51, which in its turn cannot be later than 1237. 



This grant is cDnfinuatory of Charter no. 86, and has to do (see p. 62) with 

 tithes in the diocese of Cloyne. 



For the de Suineri family, see p. 48. The grantor in this instance was David 

 de ^ r. 



luily of lloche or de llupc appear several times in our charters. 

 Among the Flemings wlio came to Ireland at the time of the Anglo-Norman 

 conquest was one Robert Fitz Godobert, enfeoffed near Wexford, whose sons, 

 David, Henry, and .\dam, took the name of de la Itoche, from the castle still 

 known as Roch Castle near Uaverforilwest.' IiaviJ liochc, probably to be 

 identified with the witness to this charter who bore that name, appears in 1229' as 

 the father of Raymond and Gerald Roche (see nos. 71, 72).= He may be the same 

 man us Da ' r./ who lield Marshal lands in Kilmocar, co. Kilkenny, in 



1246,' and v. ,ii-(i in 1245 in a suit against William and David de Sumeri.^ 



For Ithiei de CaunUton, who was son of Adam de Caunteton. see p. 62. 

 Probably the Adam de t'aunUton who appears here was, in his turn, son of Ithiel. 



Adam Taiclxjth or Talbot does not seem to be known elsewhere.
