Now Eichard Daniel was seneschal of Wexford from Michaelmas, 1261, to 

 Michaelmas, 12G2, and probably to Michaelmas, 1263,' his predecessor Henry Fitz 

 Henry filling the office from 1259 to 1261.= 



Again, Hugh de Aleby was seneschal of Carlow from 1260 to 1262 ; and William 

 le Grastherfrom 1265 to 1275.' Thus the only years left for William de Wet/land 

 who appears as seneschal of Ross, i.e. Carlow, in the lease, are 1262-1265 ; and the 

 document must have been executed within this period. We may date it as circa 

 1202. 



William Fitz David appears again as a juryman at Ross in 1277.' For 

 Thomas Eeting see p. 93.

We cannot date this docament, as we do not know anything more about Roger 

 Beg.* From Charter 13 we leani that the heir of Alan Beg (see p. 11) was his 

 daughter Cecilia, wlio married Wm. de Caunteton (p. 21). The Begs who appear 

 in this deed were probably kinsfolk, and held land between the abbey and Gowran, 

 as .\ did. '■' s presumably a ford of the river Barrow;

We place the document here, assigning it to the years 1262-7 ; but there is no 

 certainty abont its period.
