January, 1615. 91. Submissions of the Irish, 18 Ric. II. I. Notarial instrument certifying that on 16 Feb. 1394, the sixth year of Pope Boniface IXth, in a field called Ballygory near Cathlagh, on the side of Clemargy, in the diocese ef Leighlin, Thomas Earl of Nottingham, Marshal of England, being present with his retinue, in the hearing of Gerald O'Bryn and Donald O'Nolon, captain of his nation, and of many other Irishmen, coming to the Earl from a woody place distant two furlongs, where there were many armed Irishmen assembled together, caused certain letters patent of King Richard II. dated 12 Feb. 18 Ric. II. to be read by John Melton, clerk, of Lincoln diocese, empowering the said Earl to receive Arthur McMourgh and others to the King's fealty and obedience, and to distribute lands and habitations to the captains and leaders of men of war who quitted Leinster; and charging the Earls of Ormond and Desmond to aid the said Earl in this matter. This was expounded in Irish by Edmund Vale, Master of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in Ireland. Then Gerald O'Bryn, removing his girdle, sword, and cap, on bended knees, with lifted hands, took an oath (in Irish) of allegiance to the King, and an oath to observe the covenants in an indenture between the King and himself and other Irishmen, or in default to pay 20,000 marks to the Papal Chamber. The same was done by Donald O'Nolan, Malachias O'Morth, Rory Oge and Shane, son (sons?) of Maurice Booy of Slemergy, Arthur] McMoroughe (who rode a black horse), and Murgh O'Connogher de Faly; all doing homage, and binding themselves in certain sums of money. On the morrow, 17 Feb., in a house within the castle of Cathlagh, said Edw. Vale took oath faithfully to expound in English the liege homages of the above-named, and did so. Then David O'Murarghe McManus and E. MacGerold of Kensele did liege homage in the same manner. Then came Geoffrey O'Brennan, Fennyn McGillpatrick, Henry Tallon (an English rebel), Thomas Karragh, and Shan son of O'Nolane, and did not do homage, but swore to submit to the King's ordinance and disposition. On the 18th, in the church of the Friars' Minors near Thristel-Dermond, in presence of said Earl Thomas, Guy L'Enfant took oath to faithful.y expound the said homages in English; which done, Lysagh Ferison and O'Connor, of the nation of Hyrth and O'Tothill, did homage as above. On the 19th, in a chamber in Dublin Castle, in presence of Richard King of England, John Malachie, clerk of Dublin diocese, [interpreted] in English, the sayings of Donogh O'Bryn, who, kneeling before the King, swore to observe the said covenants, on pain of paying 1,000l. ster. to the Apastolic Chamber. Then follows a copy of an indenture, dated 7 Jan., 18 Ric. II., in the field between Tyllagh and the said castle, between Thomas Earl of Nottingham and Arthur McMoroghe, receiving the latter and his followers to the King's peace, on his taking the oath of fealty and promising to deliver to the King all his possessions in Leinster, and to obey the laws. He swore that before the first Sunday in Lent he would quit Leinster, saving to him his moveable goods, and give the son of Thomas Carraghe Cavenaghe as a hostage. The King to treat said Arthur as his liege man, and to provide him and his heirs with 80 marks a year, together with his wife's inheritance of the barony of Norragh. He and his men to make war upon the King's rebels, and to have all the lands they may acquire, holding them of the King. In the same indenture there were also covenants between the said Earl Marshal and O'Bryn, O'More, O'Nollan, and others, and all those of Kensley, to deliver all their possessions in Leinster to the King, as above, to receive wages from the King, to make war on his rebels, and to deliver hostages. If they broke these covenants said Arthur swore to make war on them. The names of witnesses to this indenture are given. The notary, Thomas Sparkford, made this instrument, at the request of all the said Irishmen. (No reference given.)* Memoranda of the Exchequer, 18 Ric. 2.

Thereupon the barons ordered them to be enrolled as follows. * The reference given below probably applies to this document also. |
