80 Proceedings of the Royal Irish Acadcmif. 



For the de Hereford family see p. 49 ; Adam dc Hereford, who appears as a 

 witness, may be the same person as the man of that name who witnessed William 

 Fitz Geofirey's charter of Kells' in 1215, but he may just as well belong to a later 

 -generation. 



Robert n'aspail was witness to a charter of Gerald Prendergast (see p. 68) 

 about 1230 ;' and Roger le Poer appears again in no. 59, where he is designated a 

 ' knight' {tniles), and also in unpublished Kells charters about 1230 and 1257. 



For Thontas de Cautiteton see p. 62. 



John de Killergi does not seem to appear again : probably Killergi ought to be 

 identified with Killerig, N.E. of Urglin, co. Carlow, where a preceptory was founded 

 for Knights Templars by King John. 



Mention is made in the Extracts from the Duiske Eegisters, which we 

 cite as L, of a charter of W. bishop of Leighlin, confirming the convent 

 of Duiske in the possession of the church of "Dunmtadge" (see no. 49). 

 This sliould be noted here, as it is said to have been dated in 1249, in 

 the iJOth year of llishop Willi.ini's episcopate : but no sucli charter is 

 e.Ttant ; see p. 36.
