 14 January, 14i9. of Wygemere, Clare, and Trym, to the treasurer aiid 

 chamberlain of the exchequer of his liberty of Meath. f. 66 (60).

 predecessors from time immemorial had had an annual rent of £8 16s. l\cl., 

 payable 1 November and 1 May, out of the manor of Trym, for the site of the 

 castle and villa of Trym, as appears from a record there, of which he was 

 peacefully seised on 1 ISTovember, 1418, but that since then it has not been 

 paid. The Earl, with the assent of his kinsman (consanguine!) Thomas Talbot, 

 knight, seneschal of the above-named liberty, and of his council in the same, 

 commands that arrears of the rent be paid to the archbishop and that in 

 future it be paid at the proper terms.

261. Letter to E(dward Dauntesey), Bishop of Meath, and his clergy 

 [ . . ] June, 1416. f. 66 (60)\ 



States that the archbishop had received an appeal of Sir John Gynga, 

 rector of the church of Kova Villa of Fertullach in the diocese of Meath, 

 to the Eoman court, but " tuitorie " to the court of Armagh, stating that John 

 Omyagi, in virtue of a bull fraudulently obtained, was disturbing him in 

 the possession of the rectory. In accordance with ancient and laudable 

 custom the archbishop inhibits all persons from disturbing Gynga while the 

 appeal is pending in the Eoman court. And he admonishes Fergal M^goighgan, 

 captain of his nation, Odo Flavus M'^goighgan, Cornelius son of Bernard 

 M^goighgan, Macrobius Oboeehan, Constantine the younger (juniorem) 

 M'kegan, and all other parishioners, under penalty of greater excommunica- 

 tion, to answer to Gynga for the fruits, rents, oblations, and issues of the 

 rectory, and to obey and be attendant to him in all things lawful and 

 honest, whUe the appeal is pending. 



There are many erasures and alterations in this document, which is 

 apparently a draft.
