i subsequentis Spiritum Sancti viri requies aeterna
suscepit."--_Vita S. Laurentii_, cap. xxxiii. The saint's memory is
still honoured at Eu. The church has been lately restored, and there is
a little oratory on the hill near it to mark the spot where he
exclaimed, _Hoec est requies mea_, as he approached the town where he
knew he should die. Dr. Kelly (_Cambrensis Eversus_, vol. ii. p. 648)
mentions in a note that the names of several Irishmen were inscribed
there.

[311] _Fatal_.--Dr. O'Donovan gives a long and most interesting note on
the genealogy of St. Laurence O'Toole, in which he shows that his father
was a chieftain of an important territory in the county Kildare, and
that he was not a Wicklow prince, as has been incorrectly asserted. The
family removed there after the death of St. Laurence, when they were
driven from their property by an English adventurer.

[312] _Conduct_.--This is mentioned even by Cox, who, Dr. O'Donovan
observes, was always anxious to hide the faults of the English, and
vilify the Irish. He calls Hugh Tyrrell "a man of ill report," and says
he returned to Dublin "loaden both with curses and extortions."--_Hib.
Angl._ p. 38, ad an. 1184.

[313] _Accusation_.--There can be no doubt that De Lacy had ambitious
designs. See Cambrensis, _Hib. Expug._ lib. ii. cap. 20. Henry II. heard
of his death with considerable satisfaction.

[314] _Colum-cille_.--Dr. O'Donovan remarks that a similar disaster
befell Lord Norbury. He was also assassinated by a hand still unknown,
after having erected a castle on the same _site_ as that of De Lacy, and
preventing the burial of the dead in the ancient cemetery of Durrow.

[315] _King of Ireland_.--During the reign of Richard all the public
affairs of the Anglo-Norman colony were transacted in the name of "John,
Lord of Ireland, Earl of Montague." Palgrave observes that John never
claimed to be King of the Irish; like Edward, who wrote himself Lord of
Scotland, and acknowledged Baliol to be King of the Scots.

[316] _Accounts_.--Gilbert's _Viceroys_, p. 58.

[317] _FitzHenri_.--His father was an illegitimate son of Henry I. When
a mere youth, FitzHenri came to Ireland with the Geraldines, and
obtained large possessions.

[318] _Pension_.--One hundred pounds per annum. Orders concerning it are
still extant on the Close Rolls of England.--_Rol. Lit. Clau._ 1833,
144. It is curious, and should be carefully noted, how constantly proofs
are appearing that th
