 nostris precibus et amore." 



The year is omitted in the dates of the three documents, nos. 55-57. But they are written hy the 

 same hand, and are all dated 17 July. Hence they almost certainly helong to the same year. The 

 contents of the present document seem to indicate that it followed no. 71 and preceded no. 73, and it 

 is therefore to he placed in 1366. It will be observed that with the exception of no. 54 (which is 

 at the end of a page, and may be a later addition), all the dated documents on ff. 7, 8, which were 

 always consecutive, are of the year 1366 or 1367. 



58. Letter to the Bishop of Clochor. f. 8^ 



8 March c. 1367 (?). States that the archbishop, during the vacancy of the see 

 of Clochor, had excommunicated Philip Eog (?) son of Bernard M'^magmuna, 

 who now claims to be King of Ergallia, and interdicted all the lands in the 

 diocese of Clochor whither he might go, for spoiling the goods of M^Comgan, 

 a principal citizen and tenant of the archbishop, and other citizens ; that the 

 archbishop had also excommunicated and interdicted the same P. and Ardgall, 

 Katholicus, Sean, Balbe, Odo, Engus, and another brother, sons of the said B., 

 for their crimes in the diocese of Armagh, especially burning churches ; that 

 they remained obdurate under these censures a year or more ; that they were 

 excommunicated as suspected of heretical pravity, and remained obdurate 

 over two years. Demands that they shall be publicly denounced as 

 excommunicated, interdicted and suspected of heretical pravity. 

 Dated at Drommeskyn. 



The year is omitted in the date. If the bishop of Clogher referred to is Odo O'Neill, it cannot 

 be put earlier than 1364, since the document implies tliat the see had been vacant three years 

 earlier, and O'Neill's predecessor, according to "Ware (p. 184), became bishop in 1361. It is probably 

 not far apart in date fi-om no. 53. Both documents convey that the bishop had not been long in 

 office. 



59. Letter to the bailiffs of Garlyngford. f. 9. 

 24 January, 1369. They are commanded to imprison John Brodok of 

 Garlyngford, suspected of heretical pravity. 



60. Letter of Edward (III) to the archbishop ordering him to cause the 

 26 June, 1369. revenues of persons holding ecclesiastical benefices within his 

 province, and residing outside Ireland, to be sequestrated and kept in 

 sec[uestration untU he receives further order. He is to certify in the 

 Chancery of Ireland the amount of such revenues and the names of the 

 beneficed, from time to time. f. 9. 



Ends : " Teste Williehno &c. (as no. 39) apud Dublin " &c. 



61. Letter to William (Mercier), Bishop of Coner, requiring him to fulfil 

 28 August, 1369. the provisions of the foregoing letter (no. 60) in his diocese.
