^{page 142 note 1} The Hugh de Laci mentioned in this narrative is presumably either that Hugh who was murdered in 1186 or more probably his younger son, also named Hugh, who became Earl of Ulster in 1205 after he had defeated John de Courci and who was expelled from Ireland in 1210. The mute of the above story is described in the Annals of Worcester (Ann. Mon., IV, p. 401) as “dominus cognomento Pippard.” The Annals add that he built a church in Ireland in honour of St. Wulfstan and gave it with 30 carucates of land to the church, of Worcester.

^{page 143 note 1} Adam de Hereford is famous as the leader of the Normans in the naval battle with the Ostmen of Cork in 1173. He was a feudatory of Strongbow and from him received the “cantred of Off elan nearest to Dublin “and half of the village of Achebo and of the cantred in which it lay in Upper Ossory (Orpen, Ireland under the Normans, I, pp. 330, 379, 388. On p. 394 is printed from the original in the Ormond Muniments the charter of Strongbow granting Achebo to him). Adam died before June 1, 1216 (Roluli de Oblatis et Fitiibus, p. 599). The dean of Wells mentioned here is probably Alexander, third dean of Wells, who held office from c. 1189 to 1213 (J. Armitage Robinson, Somerset Historical Essays, pp. 67–72). If this is so, the reference to his skill in medicine seems to be an addition to our knowledge of him.
