John de Valle belonged to the well-known family whom we have had before (see

 Eoger Bigod's charter to New Ross in 1279.' 



Philip Maunscl attested a Kells charter (unpublished) in 126-1, and his son was 

 lord of ICnocktopher, co. Kilkenny, in 1312.'-

For the de Florence family see p. 85. This William Fitz Henry de St. P'torencc 

 was probably a cousin of Eichard (who appears in nos. 59, 78, 87) and William 

 (no. 83), the sons of Alan de St. Florence. 



A Henry do St. Florence appears elsewhere in 1228.''
