dc.description.abstract | To analyse the charters contained in the Irish cartularies of the Augustinian priories of Llanthony
Prima and Secunda, in order to trace the history of the Llanthony canons during the time that the
canons were active in Ireland, c. 1174-1541 and to map their lands, is the primary purpose of this
thesis. The charters are concerned, for the most part, with the tithes of land and ecclesiastical
benefices both in the lordship of Meath and outside, granted by their greatest patron Hugh de
Lacy I, his family and knights, and with the subsequent documentation in relation to those
grants. By arranging the charters in correct historical sequence, as opposed to their arrangement
in the extant cartularies (and in the very fine printed edition of the cartularies by Eric St John
Brooks), the lands which were managed from their cells at Colpe and Duleek in County Meath
can be examined in the order in which the canons received the endowments. From this study it
has been possible to locate and map the lands in Ireland from which the Llanthony canons held
the tithes and church benefices. Concentrating on the earliest charters granting land to Llanthony,
and on the donors of those lands, it has been possible to establish that the majority of the families
settled in Meath by Hugh de Lacy I also granted tithes of land to Llanthony. A further survey of
the later charters reveals a complex prosopographical pattern of familial ties, interwoven with the
tenacious patronage and advocacy of the landed gentry who identified with Llanthony down
through the centuries, from the earliest settlement in the twelfth century until the Dissolution, in
the sixteenth; a period of almost four hundred years. Among the witnesses to the charters many of
Ireland's most prominent churchmen of the later medieval period emerge, together with some of
the most influential noblemen. Investigating the people named in the charters allows us to see
how they interacted with the Augustinian canons, whether and how they figure in Irish history, or
are simply silent witnesses briefly identified with the lands of Llanthony in Ireland. | |
