140. ISTarrative of the foundation of Holy Trinity Church. f. 231. 



The vaults are said to have been founded by the Danes before St. 

 Patrick came to Ireland. Afterwards came Sitruic, King of Dublin, son 

 of Ableb, Earl of Dublin, and gave to the Holy Trinity and Donatus the first 

 bishop of Dublin the site, and the lands of Kealdulek and Eecraportracre, and 

 gold and silver for the building. Donatus built the nave, " cum duobus col- 

 lateralibus structuris," and the base (solium) for the crucifix and the chapel 

 of St. Nicholas (on the north) and the church of St. Michael. Archbishop 

 Laurence (O'Toole) and Eichard, Earl of Strangvyll, and Earl Marischall, 

 Eobert Fitz Stephen and Eaimund, husband of the Earl Marischall's sister, 

 built the choir, with bells and two chapels, ^dz. : of St. Edmund, king and 

 martyr, of St. Mary called Alba, and St. Laud, and gave St. Michael's Church 

 for the mensa. And before there were archbishops in Dublin the place of the 

 palace was in the lordship of the prior and convent, and there was their 

 garden. Archbishops Laurence (O'Toole), Henry (de Loundres), and Luke 

 built the " cancella a choro cum duabus collateralibus structuris " up to the 

 place where is now the archbishop's seat. John Comyng and Archbishop 

 Luke are buried in a stone tomb on the south side of the Church. Archbishop 

 Henry is buried on the other side of the chancel in a wooden tomb. Arch- 

 bishop John de St. Paul added the chancel [sic) with an episcopal seat, and the 

 east window and three other windows between the seat and the east window 

 on the south side. His body is buried under a marble stone with a brass 

 figure on the second step of the altar. Afterwards the citizens, moved by a 

 miracle of St. Laurence (related in his Life), built the great chapel of St. Mary 

 on the north side of the " cancellum."

The Order of the Sack (see Liher Alhus 58, above, p. 31) — so called from the material of which the 

 habit was made— was founded in 1248 under the influence of Hugues de Digne. In 1274 it was 

 ordered by Pope Gregory X that no fresh members should he received into it. Monmnenta Sistoriea
