The liicardi of Lucca were a firm of Italian bankers, trading in Ireland, who 

 bought wool from the convent (see p. 120). They had banking houses in Dublin, 

 Kilkenny, Ross, Waterford, and other places. 



" Gerard Chimhard and his associates, collectors of the issues of the new 

 Custom on wool, hides, &c.," appear at Wexford in 129G.= We find Gerard 

 Chimbard also in a deed of Christ Church, Dublin (no. IGl), about the year 1301. 



During the period whieli we have reached, King Edward I was engaged 

 in war with Scotland, and it became necessary for him to get men and money 

 to prosecute his campaigns. 



In the Patent lIoUs, we find under tlie date 17 Jan., I'SOO, " I!o)-al letters 

 of credence for John Wogan, justiciary of Ireland, expounding the Tiing's 

 need of aid from the spirituality of Dublin," addressed to various ecclesiastics, 

 and among others to the abbot of Duiske.'
