Final Notes. 



XIII. The Prebends. — Eefore giving the survey of the churches, 

 it may be helpful to collect into almost dry lists notes on the 

 prebends, monasteries, and impropriations, and lists of the bishops. 

 In 1204 Bishop Donat (B.B.L., p. 108) appointed that the cathedral, 

 with the tythes of Cotheann, profits on wills, oblations, &c., and the 

 churches of Kilmurry, St. Martin, in Limerick, Douenathmor, and 

 Killiadeh, should support the bishop. The dean was to hold the 

 Church of St. John, below the city, Kildacolu (Collam), Kildimo, and 

 Ardach. The chanter was given Sengol (Shanagolden), Ardinir, and 

 Rathnaser as prebend. The treasurer was given Sengol (Singland), 

 Eathgerallan,^ Drommohiba, and certain fisheries. To the four canons 

 and prebends were respectively given — Mungaret, Kathirdufduli, and 

 Killonechon, St. Manchinus, and the benefices of Ballimurchada, 

 Ardcliatin (Ardcanny), and certain lands. Portions from the common 

 stock were granted to three other canons. 



Bishop Hubert granted, in about 1250, to the Dean, Thomas de 

 T\"odeford, and his successors the churches - of Mungaret, Maycro, 

 Camarthy, and Rathsyward, and the chapel of Lysmuk (B.B.L., p. 73). 

 This grant was augmented by a grant of the churches of Browry and 

 Ballysyward by his successor, Bishop Robert in 1253 {Ih.). 



In 1291 the chancellor had the vicarages of Brurry, Mungaria, 

 Xylmaclou (Cappagli), Kylfychny, Sengel, and the prebendal churches 

 of Clonkeuer, Kylscanyl, and Olonach. The treasiu'er held Imlath- 

 dreyney ; and the archdeacon, Kyldyme, Tulachbrek, Croch, Effyng, 

 and Kyllyd. The prebends were Kylmonyn, Ardacny, Ballycathan, 

 Dovenachmor, and Kyleyl.^ Effin was made a prebendal church in 

 1287.3 



In 1418 the Taxatio Procurationum shows that the dean held the 

 rectory of Mongaret, Carnargy, Balysyward, Browrye, Kylmacluana, 

 Rathsyward (Rathurd), and the vicarage of St. Nicholas. The 

 archdeacon had St. Michael's vicarage, Cluancreama, Kyldyme, 

 Kyldacolum, and Ardach. The treasurer held Imlachdrynan, Sengol,
