Henry Fitz Henry O'Byan, who thus confirmed the charter of bis ancestor 

 to Killeiniy,' was the chief of the O'Kyan sept ; his sou Thomas is a witness to his 

 Inspexiuuis and Confirmatiun. It was obviously in the interests of the abbey of 

 Duiske to obtain the approval of the O'Ryans to this ancient grant, in order that 

 their rights over the Killenny lands, which were in O'Kyan territory, should not be 

 challenged. 



Presumably, .John, the abbot, who attests the Iiispeximus is " John Uound " 

 who appeared in 1415. 



In 14;j7 we have tlie abbot of Duiske mentioned on several occasions as a 

 papal mandatory.' In 1440 there is a note in botli F and L that Henry 

 Weyng, formerly abbot of Duiske, died.
