Who Was Who in Medieval Limerick; from Manuscript Sources. by Brian Hodkinson, Assistant Curator, Limerick Museum ©. (Last updated 9/10/16; log of changes at end) The following list is compiled for my own personal research into medieval Limerick and is offered in the knowledge that it is not perfect. I hope it can be used as a tool to kick start research into various aspects of medieval Limerick. The list is compiled mostly from indexes to calendared documents, looking up all references under “Limerick” or in the case of CJR the locations at the side of the text. Lenihan’s mayoral list has been avoided because it was compiled at a later date and cannot, for the medieval period, be shown to be authentic. In many cases, such as the papal documents, it is highly probable that there are extra references to individuals who started or ended their career outside Limerick. Some people are known to have played a part on the wider national stage, but only Limerick references are listed here. Bishops are listed in chronological order under Limerick. Where I have anglicised names, I have often put the original spelling in brackets afterwards, variant spellings are treated likewise, so it is worth using “find on page” facility. All “sons of” are listed under Fitz. Given the vagaries of medieval spelling it is highly likely that the same person may be entered twice. The list is there to be improved so if you spot errors, have reasonable grounds to combine entries or have extra references then please let me know at [email protected] If you pursue the career of someone in the list outside Limerick, then references in the same format can be added. The cut off date used initially was c 1500, but this has been extended to the dissolution of the monasteries, or c1541. This is a work in progress and concentrates on the earlier sources first. A follow on can be found “Who was who of early modern Limerick” can be found on the Limerick City Museum website. Works about a person are fully referenced at the entry, as are archival entries.

The other works may contain further names; those included here were those noted during other research. *It was only when halfway through CICL that I realised what I took to be unique document numbers were not. Therefore when using CICL search either a) by name or b) by document number which should give a number of results, then scroll to relevant year. Last viewed 7/12/13 # Vols 1-14 page references are given, from15 onwards by document number. § The Balbein will is not published with the other wills in Ainsworth and MacLysaght because it is partially quoted in Lenihan’s History; for the full Latin text see the ms itself. N.B in the RDKPRI Pipe Rolls, some debts owed are continued across many rolls, not all are included here. * denotes a woman’s name. A A, 1223-50. dean of L., charter witness (BBL p. 142).
