Dated at manor of Dromeskyn. 



108. Letter to the Icing. ■ f. 20. 

 January, 1371. The archbishop begs to be excused from attendance (at the 

 parliament: no. 106?) since he is detained by a case pending at the Eoinan 

 curia between him and the Archbishop of Dublin about the carrying of the 

 cross. 



The date seems to be determined by nos. 106, 107. 



109. Letter to [. . . .]. f. 20''. 

 15 March (?), 1370. The letter of his correspondents has been received in 

 which they certified [the contumacy] of Masters Benedict Oculean, rector of 

 Clonfechkena, ofhcial of the deanery of Tolaghoge, JMaurice Ocorry, dean of 

 Tolachoge, and Salmon and John M^'birragra {also urrUten jM'^bragra), all 

 canons of Armagh, who did not appear at the appointed (ipsis) day and place. 

 These persons have been for many years disobedient to the archbishop [and 

 have not allowed those] to whom it belonged to levy the rents of Tolaghoge to 

 pay them to him. The archbishop therefore intends to deprive them of their 

 benefices, and to pronounce them contumacious and incapable of holding 

 ecclesiastical benefices, and that especially because through their misconduct 

 he is in arrearto the extent of 200 marks, out of which he might have paid his 

 dues (de quilaus satisfecissemus) to the Roman curia. It is certain that they 

 incurred the sentence of greater excommunication as well "a domino nostro 



papa in qualibet die lovis [ ] proinde late et [publice] denunciate," as 



by the provincial and synodal constitutions of the church of A nnagh. And 

 although the sentence of their deprivation for not appearing at the assigned 

 term had been written by him, yet to demonstrate (ad convincendum) their 

 malice he has postponed (expectauimus) (the case of) Oculean until 4 April 

 and that of Ocorry and the M'^birragras until the second juridic day after Low 

 Sunday (21 April) to hear sentence, in the chapel of the manor at Dioineskyn. 

 But Oculean and Ocorry shall pay (solutnri) all the money due to him or else 

 bear sentence as above. He commands that they are to be cited before him for 

 this purpose at the above-mentioned terms and place. 



A note adds that on the same day a letter was also sent for absolving 

 Bernard M'^mahuna from the sentence of greater excommunication passed upon 

 him by the archbishop on account of pillage (predam) of M'^comgan, and for 

 relaxation of the interdict on his lands, on condition of (dum tamen) giving 

 satisfaction to the injured person. 



The former document is dated the 15th of the ' aforesaid ' moutli ; but no mouth seems to have 

 been named. Since i April is spoken of as still future, though apparently not far distant, it was 

 probably Maich.
