The exception referred to is a grant of land in Ireland, without date of day or year, but issued by “Johannes filius Regis Angliae, Dominus Hiberniae,” “apud Ceneman’,” _i.e._ Le Mans, and witnessed by John the Marshal, “dapifer Johannis,” _Rot. Canc. Hib. Cal._ vol. i. pt. i. p. 3. [129] We hear of John’s chancellor, Stephen Ridel, in 1191, _Gesta Ric._ p. 224; of his seneschal, William de Kahanger, and his butler, Theobald Walter, in 1192, _Foedera_, vol. i. pt. i. p. 55. We have seen already that at some date between 1185 and 1189 he had as “dapifer” no less a personage than John the Marshal; and in 1191 Roger de Planes appears as “in tota terra comitis Johannis justiciarius,” R. Diceto, vol. ii. p. 99. [130] _Gesta Ric._ p. 73. [131] See above, footnote 128. [132] _Hist. de G. le Mar._ vv. 9581–618. See charters in Carte’s _Life of Ormonde_ (1851), vol. i. introd. p. xlvi.

Cant. vol. i. p. 497), or, more probably, April 27 (see Bishop Stubbs’s note to R. Diceto, vol. ii. p. 90). [145] R. Devizes, p. 408. [146] Wallingford, Eye, Bristol, Exeter, Launceston and “Hereford”; R. Howden, vol. iii. p. 136. Hereford is quite out of place among “castra de honoribus a domino rege sibi” [_i.e._ Johanni] “datis.” The name may be a mistake for Oxford; see above, p. 26.
