for nil each of them is written in his liand ' Nicolaus Flemming.' This 

 gives ground for the belief that the vohnue was l^ound under his supervision, 

 and tliereforo that we owe the preservation of the remains of the Eegisters of 

 Swcteman and Fleming to the care of ttieir famous successor. 



Tlie principles which guided me in constructing the Calendar of Archl^ishop 

 Sweteman's Kegister' have been followed here, and there is no need to explain 

 them again. By the facts recorded in his Eegister, the date of Fleming's 

 consecration may be fixed within a day. Nos. 118 and 126 imply that 2 May, 

 1404, and 30 April, 1405, were both in his first year. It follows that he was 

 consecrated on 1 or 2 May, 1404. From this, or possibly on the ground of 

 inde]3endent evidence, Ware' inferred that the date was 1 May. This is 

 probaljly correct, since 1 May is the festival of St. Philip and St. James, and 

 2 May is not a saint's day. With one exception (see no. 160) all the indications 

 in the Register are in agreement with this conclusion. 



When editing the Calendar of Sweteman's Eegister I expressed the hope 

 that a study of the other Eegisters of the Archbishops of Armagh would throw 

 light on obscure place-names. To some extent this expectation has been 

 realized. Following a suggestion of Mr. E. J. Gwynn, I conjectured that 

 ' Hewynnae near Armagh, which is the archbishop's laud,'' was a phonetic 

 spelling of the Irish name of Navan Eing, an ancient fort rather less than two 

 miles to the west of Armagh. This is confirmed by Fleming's Eegister, from 

 which we learn that in 1278 Loughnashade, near Navan Eing, and tlie land 

 about it, belonged to the archbishop.* This somewhat diminishes my confidence 

 in the correctness of the identification, in which I followed Eeeves," of the 

 'manor of the lake near Armagh' with Bishop's Court in the townland of 

 MuUynure, a short distance from Armagh to the north. There is at present 

 no lake at Bishop's Court, though there is a local tradition that a lake which 

 was once there was drained in modern times. 



The manor of Kyllroe or Kyllareo in the Diocese of Derry,'^ the position 

 of which I could not determine, I am now inclined to place at Drumachose, 

 which was also known as Eo.' 



The name Castrum Viride no doubt indicates the same place in Sweteman's 

 Eegister as in Fleming's. But in the latter' it is clearly Greencastle in the 

 parish of Bright. In the index to the Calendar of Sweteman's Eegister I 

 wrongly identified it with the better known Greencastle in the Mourne. 



Two remarks may be added, which are not directly suggested by my study 

 of Fleming's Eegister.
