consecrated. He was installed in Holy Trinity Church, and the cross was 

 delivered to him by the prior and convent. On starting for England to get 

 his pall, he gave the cross, at Howth, to brother William Kerny, canon of Holy 

 Trinity and proctor of the prior and convent. Afterwards going to England 

 with Gerald, Earl of Kildare, he gave it to the same brother William, to be 

 kept at the monastery of the B.V.M. near Dublin and Ballyboght ; but on his 

 resignation of the See he delivered it to the prior and convent, with whom it 

 remained until it was restored to Walter (EitzSimons), after he had been 

 consecrated and installed in Holy Trinity Church, on condition that when 

 he went elsewhere it should be returned to the prior and convent. And, 

 notwithstanding the protest of Eichard Eustace, canon of St. Patrick's, 

 Archbishop John (Walton) declared that its custody belonged to the prior 

 and convent.

 Eiche, his official and seneschal, to be handed over to the prior and convent. 

 In the absence of the prior he gave it to Sir Thomas Eyche, canon and 

 proctor of the prior and convent.

 prior, and Master Geoffrey Eyche, official, his Vicars- General. 



(/) [In same hand as (cl)] Archbishop Walter EytzSymon died 14 May, 

 1511, at his manor of Eynglas. Next day his body was carried to Holy Trinity 

 Church, and Mass was there celebrated for his soul ; thence it was carried to 

 his Palace of St. Sepulchre, and next day funeral obsequies were celebrated.

 St. Mary, by Master Nicholas Kerdyff, chancellor; of the Holy Spirit, by 

 brother Eichard Skyrrett, prior of Holy Trinity ; and for the dead, by Master 

 Thomas Eychford, Dean of St. Patrick's; then the body was buried before the
