6. Letter to John Keppock, justiciary of the King of England and 

 14 November, 1379 (?). Ireland. f. 1**. 



States that the writer had given judgement in a matrimonial cause 

 concerning Agnes Laundey, who married three men who were still living, 

 and in an action against her fijr adulteiy with John Whyte of Dundalke, 

 while he lived (?), for about twelve years, enjoining upon her corporal 

 penance, viz., that she should be beaten round the churches for seven years ; 

 that this judgement was modified, at the instance of friends of Agnes 

 Laundey, the archbishop substituting pecuniary for corporal penance ; 

 that the sentence having been reported to Keppock he charged the 

 ai'chbishop with extortion, and with having, by the imposition of the 

 pecuniary penalty, invaded the prerogatives of the civil courts (imponitis 

 penam illam pecuniariam eidem adultere per nos impositam et forte receptam 

 fuisse factam per intrusionem), and summoned him to appear before him at 

 Droghda on 17 November. The archbishop announces that he will appear 

 on that day to defend the rights of his church. He also certifies that he has 

 to-day (14 November) received letters from Niallan Oneyll to the effect that 

 Geoffr-ey Whyte and others from Doundalke have broken the peace of Christ 

 and the king which by his mediation had been made, concerning the matters 

 about which the day of parliament (viz.. 17 NoA^eniber) had been appointed,^
