121. Letter to [. . .]• f. 23. 

 21 November, 1366. States that the archbishop has received a report (quoted 

 iu full, but much mutilated) relating to a mandate of the archbishop to (erga) 

 Eichard [. .], to the effect that [Pdchard] has been [recalcitrant] not only to 

 the writer, but also to every other who was willing to execute it. The 

 archbishop therefore commands certain vicars to proclaim Eichard as excom- 

 municated by him, on Sundays and festivals at mass in their several churches, 

 and in the public market at Droghda, and to cite Patrick to appear before 

 him in St. Eonan's Church, Dromeskyn, on the juridic day next after the 

 feast of Pope Clement (24 Xovember). 



The year is also given as the sixth of the archbishop's consecration. 



The early part of the document was written on a leaf now lost. The 

 person referred to as Eichard is pi'obably O'Eeilly, Bishop of Kilmore, and 

 Patrick, Patrick ]\l'Brady (see no. 69). The mandate referred to is apparently 

 no. 76. 



122. Letter to the Dean of Aa-magh. f. 23. 

 11 November, 1366. The archbishop is amazed that Master Odo (M'^dinim) 

 does not prepare for his journey as had been arranged, and lias decided 

 (pretinivimus) that he has deceived the church of Armagh and him a second 

 time. "When the archbishop hail 100 marks ready, l\v [his] negligence the 

 money was lost, and since then his delay has gi\-en occasion of recalcitrance 

 everywhere ; for when once the joiuney of the messenger was reported tlie 

 recalcitrants [became] quiet. The dean is to admonish Odo, on pain of 

 deprivation of his priory and benefices, to [. . .]. (Some lines follow of which 

 the greater pai-t is lost, in which mention is made of the King of England, and 

 [the dean is du'ected so to act that] the archbishop may have [the marts due] 

 from the issues of the visitation and from the Bishop [of Derry].)' The dean 

 is to cause Odo to undertake the journey without delay : otherwise the arch- 

 bishop will go himself or send the dean or another " in periculo suo." The 

 archbishop has granted to the dean, as Master Peter (O'Carolan), the chancellor, 

 has informed the archbisliop (nos), the lauds of Taulachbo (?) and Tristirnan, 

 for which he will have a charter on his airival, which the archbishop desires 

 to be within eight days, so that Odo may come witli him. He is to bringthe 

 seal for sealing letters of the cuiia.
