The seal is still attached to this instrument, which was coulirmed in 1352 (see 

 no. 98). 



The Iloches (sec pp. 76, 102) were lords of the district known as the Rower, 

 between the Nore and the Barrow; and their fisnery rights were vahiable to the 

 convent. Polmuntath is the modern Polmountij on the Barrow, and Portcgrcnan 

 is Thoniastown on the Nore. 



A Ilcnry Eodic appears in 1287 ;' and the same name has already been before 

 us for the year 1291.- Probably he is to be identified with Henry Fitz Henry Eoche 

 who was lay patron of Listerlin about 1305,^ and with the grantor of the instru- 

 ment before us. For John Roclte see p. 103. Eustace Roche appears in company 

 with David Boscher (see p. 91, note) in deeds that must have been executed before 

 1305.' 



We have already had William Fitz David and Simon Fitz Pavid, in 1262-5 

 (no. 6G) and about 1280 (no. 74). Milo Fitz David held land in Overk in 12-16' 

 (by the service of seven knights' fees, this being the largest fief in the lordship of 

 Kilkenny). He appears again in 1286,'"' and died shortly afterwards. 



For Fds Bclcet see p. 73. 



For the family of le Hore or Camctus see p. 88. A Peter le Hore attested a 

 charter given at London in 1192,' and he may have been an ancestor of Peter Fitz 

 John la Hore who is a witness to the instrument before us. 



Taking the names of all the witnesses together, we put this charter at the year 

 1285 or thereabouts, but do not profess to date it precisely.
