Lawlor — A Calendar of the Register of Archhishop Stveteman. 283 



Dated at Dromeskyn. 



232. Letter to the Dean, Chancellor, prior of colidei, and all others of 

 1363 X 1366. Armagh cathedral. f. 48\ 



States that the archbishop had received letters from the Duke of Clarence, 

 son and lieutenant of the king in Ireland, at the time of his last coming 

 (a tempore ultimo adventus) to Ireland, informing him that though peace had 

 been restored by indenture up to 1 May between the duke and Oneyll, yet 

 within that term Oneyll had taken possession of the horses (equicium) of 

 Geoffrey Whyt, the duke's constable at Viride Castrum, and praying him to 

 excommunicate Oneyll and his accomplices until satisfaction is made. 

 Accordingly the archbishop commands the above to admonish Oneyll and his 

 son Donald to make restitution to Wliyt or his proctor within fifteen days, 

 and if they shall despise their admonitions, to denounce them as excommuni- 

 cate in the cathedral and in all other churches of the diocese among the Irish 

 on Sundays and festivals at mass, and not to cease therefrom till the horses 

 are restored. 



Apparently breaks off at the end of the page. 



233. Letter [to William (Wliite), Bishop of Down, for a metropolitical 

 24 January, 1368. visitation of his diocese]. f. 49. 



Dated in the manor of Dromeskyn. 



The greater part of this document seems to have been written on a leaf 

 now lost between ff. 48, 49. Of the portion on f. 49, only parts of a few 

 lines, including the date, remain. Its character is inferred from the title of 

 no. 234, and the note following it. 



234. Letters of citation to AVilliam (Wliite), Bishop of Down, " if he refuse 

 29 January, 1368. to accept the preceding citation."' f. 49. 



He is cited to appear in St. Eonan's Church, Dromeskyn, on 10 February, to 

 answer in regard to his contempt and disobedience towards the archbishop. 



Dated in the manor of Drummeskyn. 



A note states that on 24 January a letter was issued for a visitation of 

 the bishop and chapter on 15 March and of the clergy and people on 18 and 

 19 March respectively. 



235. Memorandum. f. 49. 

 1368. States that the first citation was handed to the Bishop of Down by 

 the Archdeacon of Down. It appointed the visitation of the bishop and 

 chapter for 7 February, of the clergy of the deanery of Lescalle for 

 8 February, and of the people of the same for 9 February. It was dated 

 24 December (1367). The bishop refused to receive it. 



The date is inferred from no. 234.
