244. Letter of excommunication and interdict to the prior and colidei of 

 25 July, 1415. the Church of Armagh. f. 62 (.57). 



Tliey are ordered to admonish by name Masters David and Dionysins 

 Oculcan to pay the rents due to thp archbisliop for the lands of Oculean, 

 within 8 days. If the admonition is ineffectual, they are to excommunicate 

 tliem by name ; and if they continue obdurate under the excommunication 

 for eight days, they shall interdict the places ia wMch they sojourn. 



245. Letter of sequestration, to Sir W., ^dcar of Keppok. f . 62 (57). 

 July X September, 1415. Since the archbishop has sequestrated the tithes of 

 com and hay on accoimt of defects in the chancel of the church, for which 

 the rector is responsible (ex parte rectoris), the above is commanded to 

 admonish the faithful, on pain of greater excommunication, not to dispose of 

 such tithes without the archbishop's special licence. 



The date is inferred from those of nos. 244, 247. 



246. Dimission of Sir John Okerwyll {in tiih Kerwill), priest, (in title 

 c. September, 1415. chaplain), rector of Kyllalon, diocese of Meath. 



f. 62 (57). 



Okerwyll ha\"ing appeared before the archbishop in his metropoHtical 



visitation of Meath, and ha^^ng exhibited apostolic letters and processes 



following thereon, the archbishop pronounces him true rector. 



The date is given as a.d. 1415 and the 12tli year of the archbishop's consecration. It therefore 

 iies between 1 ilav, 1415, and 24 March, 1416. Since the Tisitation began 4 July (no. 243), it 

 must be subsequent to that day. KiUallon was in the deanery of Fore (Ussher, Work» i, p. cxrii), 

 which would probably be visited about two months after the commencement of the risitation 

 (see nos. 85, 106, 118, 207, 212), i.e., about the beginning of September. This falls in with the 

 place of the document in the Eegister. 



247. Eesignation of the \acarage of St. Brethany and St. Frethany, 



29 September, 1415. Dimlere, by Sir Thomas I^Tanny, chaplain, f. 62 (57)^. 

 The initrument of resignation (quoted) was read in the cemetery of 



St. Peter's church, Eathedrumnew, before John Blyssot, and Xanny 

 appointed ISTicholas Alysaunder, chaplain, rector of Dunbeyng, John 

 Xottyngham, literate, and "William Cok, literate, his proctors. 



Ends : " Presentibus tunc ibidem reverendis viris dominis Johanne Darcy 

 rectore de Eathedrumnew, Eoberto Sweteman capellanis testibus Ardmachanae 

 diocesis," &e. 



248. Letters of Orders of Sir Nicholas Alexandre, rector of St. Mary's, 



30 December, 1414. Dunbenyg, {in title Dunbejug). f. 62 (57)''. 

 States that the archbishop on Ember Saturday, 21 December, 1414, 



promoted him to the order of priesthood in the chapel of the manor of 

 Dromeskyn. 



The date of the ordination is incorrect. December 21 was Fridar in 1414.
