282 Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. 



States that the Prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem at 

 Kylmaynan in Ireland has presented Sir- Thomas Conlagh, priest, to 

 the vicarage of Kylmedymoke. The archdeacon is to make the usual 

 inquiries in the deaneries of Droghda, Atrium Dei, and Dundalke. 



Dated at Dromeskyn. 



The date is given as 136o and the fifth year of Sweteman's consecration. It therefore lies 

 betweeo 17 November, 1365, and 24 March, 1366. It is further defined as the Monday before ihe 

 feast of ' Nat[. . .].' The only ' Nativity ' within the limits mentioned is Christmas, 1365, and the 

 Monday before it was the 22 December. But the letters ' Nat ' are doubtful. 



228. Letter to the Bishop of [. . . .] the archbishop's suffragan, f. 48. 

 16 February, 1364. States that the archbishop inhismetropolitical visitation 

 of the diocese had discovered that by sentence of commissaries of the bishop, 

 based on false evidence, the marriage of Walter and Johanna had been pro- 

 nounced null ; that the archbishop had quashed that sentence, declared Walter 

 and Johanna to be man and veife and their children legitimate, and warned 

 them, under penalty of greater excommunication, to come together withiu 

 fifteen days. Learning that Johanna had not obeyed this monition he caused 

 the bishop to warn her to do so within eight days after the foregoing fifteen, 

 and in the event of her continued disobedience required him to denounce her 

 as excommunicate throughout his diocese. Since she is still obdurate he now 

 commands the bishop to warn all his subjects not to communicate with her in 

 any way, and if this monition is not obeyed (alioquin) he is to cause Johanna 

 and all keeping company with her — the king, his consort and their children 

 alone excepted — to be excommunicated with all solemnity until she returns to 

 her duty and he has other order from the archbishop. 



229. Licence to Sir Eichard Hoper, priest, rector of KUkerly, to be absent 

 29 March, 1365. from his cure for the purpose of study. f. 48. 



Dated at Tarmefeghyn. 



230. Document all but a few words of which is lost. f. 48'. 



March, 1365 or 1364. Dated at Tarmefechyn. 



The year is given as 1364 (0. S.). Since the day of the month is lost this is ambiguous. But 

 1365 (N. S.) is probably correct, since the archbishop was certainly at Termonfeckin for a 

 considerable part of March in that year (see no. 148, note). "We have no dated documents for 1364, 

 unless this be one. 



231. Letters to Masters Patrick Orethgi, canon of Armagh, and 

 20 February, 1365. Eobert Derby, the archbishop's proctor at the Eoman 

 curia. f . 48\
