39. Award of the Archbishop of Tuam in regard to the union of the See 

 1213 X 1216. of Glendalough to Dublin. f. 76\ 



Ptecites the act of Papiron, Papal legate, who found the Bishop of Dublin 

 ruling only within the walls of the city. He gave him the Pall and made 

 Dublin the metropolis of the province, ordering that the diocese, in which 

 both Dublin and Glendalough were situated, should be divided between the 

 bishops, with the intention (as is believed) that Glendalough should become 

 subject to Dublin on the death of the then Bishop. This would have taken 

 place had it not been for the insolence of the Irish who had power in that 

 district. Henry (II), hearing of the intention of the legate, confirmed the 

 union of Glendalough to Dublin; so also did J(ohn), the present King of 

 England, to John (Comyn), predecessor of the present archbishop. The 

 church in the mountains, though held in much reverence, has been deserted 

 for nearly forty years, and has become a den of thieves, insomuch that more 

 homicides are committed in that valley than in any other part of Ireland, 

 " propter desertum et vastam solitudinem."
