A fragment of the seal of the archdeacon of Leighlin remains attached to this 

 instrument. The device is the sacred monogram IHS. We owe the transcription 

 to Miss E. Thompson. 



The lands granted at Tulacliany have been the subject of several previous 

 charters (see especially 9, 10). 



For the prebendal church of Ullard or Hard, see p. 38. 



The bishops of Ossory and Leighlin mentioned in this instrument were probably 

 David Hacket and Diarviait respectively. The Dean of Ossory may have been 

 Thomas Archer. Sir Richard Butler of Polestown was brother of the ith earl of 

 Ormonde. Of Dermot O'Curryn, archdeacon of Leighlin, and papal commissary, 

 ■we know no more than is set out above.

Grant for ever by Donnell Eeagli Kavanagh MacMurrough, Lord of 

 Leinster, for the good of his soul, &c., of eight pence annually from 

 each plough in his territory, to the convent of Duiske. 



Dated at Enniscorthy, 3 April, 1475.
