so liile lis tlio iiiiJille of Jaiiuuiy in lluit yunr, tlioiigli Uiis is junt pussiblu (coiripMie tliu ilutes in 

 no. 108). The parliament cannot have been held in 1410, since a similar subsidy was granted on 

 21 Mav of that ywirat Dublin (no. 108). Hence, 1409 is the most probable year. The position in 

 the Ro"ister actually suggests a date between January and June of that year (see no. 99). Assuming 

 the year to have been correttly determined, the date cif the parliament would be 14 January, 1409 ; 

 and jiulging from the analogy of no. 103, the present commission may have been issued about ten 

 weeks later (25 March). 



98. Note. f. 20\ 

 1410 (?). Simon M'^grayn lield the church of Cranstlieyl for tliree years 

 without being promoted to holy orders, and was admonished. 



This note is written at the foot of the verso of the last leaf of a gathering in a hand which differs 

 from those of nos. 96, 97. Hence no inference can be drawn as to the date from those of the pre- 

 ceding and following documents, except that it is probably not earlier than no. 97. It is not 

 improbably of about the same date as no. 13.5. 



99. Indulgence. f. 21. 

 29 Jvme, 1409. Grants forty days of indulgence from enjoined penances to 

 all the faithful, being in a state of grace, whether the archbishop's own 

 " parochiani " or others whose diocesans have confirmed this indulgence, who 

 shall contribute or procure contributions towards the rebuilding of the bridge 

 of Novan {in title NaA'an) lately broken down b}' a flood.

100. Letter of the archbishop in his metropolitical visitation of the 

 11 March, 1409. diocese of Meath. f. 21. 



States that during the visitation he caused Sir Thomas de Evertoun^ 

 {also written Everdoun), priest, rector of St. Mary's, Kyldalk, diocese of 

 Meath, to be cited to appear before him and exhibit his letters of holy 

 orders, and his title to the said rectory. Evertoun appeared accordingly, 

 and exhibited the instruments, and produced witnesses in support of them. 

 The archbishop therefore pronounces sentence (quoted) that he received all 

 holy orders at proper intervals of time, and is rightful rector. 



Dated at Trym. 



101. Letter of King Henry (IV). f. 2V. 

 23 April, 1409. Reginald Gutter, having been found guilty of felony in the

 archbishop is commanded to proceed to his purgation.

 other princes also intend to do, in the efforts that are being made by the
