134. Grant to Master Odo M'dynim, prior of the comiminity of the chapter, 



16 January, 1367. the archbishop's proctor at the Eoman curia, of a pension 

 of 20 marks a year, payable out of a parcel of the lands of Trientulcha in the 

 tenement of Armagh, as long as he is engaged in the archbishop's business at 

 the curia. f. 25". 



Dated at Dromeskyn. 



The month is illegible in the date. But since year -n-ns 1366 (O.S.) it was between April, 1366, 

 and March, 1367. But tl:e archbishop can scarcely have been at Diomiskin on 16 May (no. 27), and 

 he was certainly not there on 16 September (no. 49). He was there on 16 November (no. 76) ; but 

 he cannot have granted the pension on that day (see nos. 122, 123). Further, it must have been 

 granted prior to the departure of M'^dinim for the curia, which seems to have taten place on or 

 shortly after 20 January (no. 130). Hence we have to choose between April, 1366, June-August, 

 1366, October, 1366, and December, 1366-January, 1367. The gi'ant may have been made when the 

 commission (no. 93) was issued — in which case April seems too early and August too late — or more 

 probably on the eve of M^dinim's journey, i.e. 16 January, 1367, when the archbishop was certainly 

 at Dromiskiu (nos. 130, 131). In confirmation of this date we find that the other four documents 

 on the same leaf (nos. 130-133) belong to December, 1366, and January and May, 1367. 



135. Grant to Brother Si[mon] Bishop of [Derry] of the manor of Kyllroe 



17 November, 1368 x 24 March, 1369. in the diocese of Derry. f. 26. 

 The lease is for [ ... ] years, from 1 May, 1369, and the rent 40s. and 



1000 small (mediocres) and 60 large eels together with other customary 

 burdens. This writing is to be void if the bishop transfers the land to any 

 layman for cultivation or custody. 



The date is given as 1368 (O.S.) and the 8th year of Milo, which began 17 x 21 November, 136S. 



136. Citation of Brother Simon, Bishop of Derry. f. 26. 



2 August, 1369. The bishop having been charged Ijefore the archbishop with 

 certaui excesses confessed them in the chapel of the archbishop's manor at 

 fapud) the lake near Ai-magh, when the archbishop last stayed there, and 

 voluntarily swore to pay ten marks on 1 May, and the same on 24 June last ; 

 but he did not pay these sums. He is to appear before the archbishop in the 

 chapel of the manor at Drummeskyn on 22 August, to show cause why the 

 archbishop should not write to the Apostolic See for (pro) his deposition. 



Dated at Drummeskyn. 



A note states that the bearer of the letter was GyUachomy Orellochan, 

 messenger, to whom it was handed 3 August. 



137. Letter to [Nicholas], Abbot, and the Convent of [SS. Peter and Paul], 

 October, 1366. Armagh. f. 26". 



States that the archbishops by immemorial right had received dues from 

 certain lands. The abbot and convent, however, and some of their prede- 

 cessors, usurping theii' rights, had received tithes out of [. . . .], Tirnasagart 

 and other places within the said city, parish, oi- tenement of Armagh.
