Lawlor — A Calendar of the Liber Niger and Liber Albus. 9 



The Chapter of Holy Trinity made the following demands : 1. Confirma- 

 tion of all the benefices granted them by Archbishop Luke. 2. Exemption, 

 similar to that enjoyed by St. Patrick's, for all their churches from the 

 jurisdiction of the Archdeacon. 3. Eestoration to them of the chapels^ of 

 Archbishops Fulk, Luke, and John de Sanford. 4. Eestoration of the Bull of 

 Boniface (VHI) for Archbishop William de Hothom, 5. Also of the Bull 

 which decreed that the Archbishop should celebrate five times a year at 

 Holy Trinity. 6. That the Archbishop should be consecrated and enthroned, 

 and (unless he directs otherwise) buried at Holy Trinity. 7. That the 

 suffragans of the province should be [consecrated] and make their profession 

 of obedience at Holy Trinity, and that the choir cope in which Master 

 W, Calf was consecrated Bishop of Kildare, and which the Dean of St. 

 Patrick's had taken from brothers Hugh le Mareschal and Eichard de 

 Notingham, canons of Holy Trinity in St. Patrick's, should be restored to 

 them. 8. Power to elect their Prior without licence obtained from anyone. 

 9. St. Patrick's to pay to Holy Trinity 3 oz. of gold per annum in token of 

 filial subjection. 10. The official in the vacancy of the see to be appointed, 

 and to render his accounts, at Holy Trinity, and the seal of the official, 

 whether the see be vacant or occupied, to be kept at Holy Trinity. 

 11. Synods to be held at Holy Trinity. 12. The canons of St. Patrick's 

 to swear to observe these privileges of Holy Trinity. 



The Chapter of St. Patrick's replied that it belonged to the Archbishop, 

 not to them, to grant such concessions ; nevertheless, if they were given 

 equality in the election of Archbishops, and if the ordinance of Pope 

 Nicholas (III)^ should remain in perpetual force, they were ready to accede 

 to these demands. The prior and convent would not comply with the 

 conditions named. The Dean of St. Patrick's — Thomas de Chaddisworth — 

 then declared his intention as Vicar- General of the Archbishop, who was 

 absent from Ireland, of visiting the prior and convent on the morrow 

 of the Exaltation (15 September). The prior and convent, by their 

 proctor, Audoen de Ymer, made formal objection to Chaddisworth as their 

 visitor, since he was their opponent in an undecided cause, and appealed to 

 the Pope, 11 August, in the presence of Sir Hugh, chaplain, Dean of 

 Christianity of Dublin, Nicholas the clerk, provost of the same city, Master 

 John de Kerdif, Master Adam de Straton, official of the Archdeacon of the 



' The word * chapel ' is here used in a technical sense, meaning the apparatus necessary for the 

 performance of episcopal functions, such as vestments, ornaments, service-books, and even the 

 diocesan registers. The relevance of the demand to the controversy between Christ Church and St. 

 Patrick's will be evident to readers of an article by the Rev. James "Wilson, Litt.D., on 'The 

 Ornaments of a Bishop's Chapel,' in the Antiquary, vol. xlii. (1906), p. 178.
