Notes

In May 1642 the catholic prelates, nobles, gentry and clergy met at Kilkenny and set up a supreme council. Summons 'in nature of writs' were sent to the lords spiritual and temporal and to the counties and boroughs. When the persons so summoned met, they issued the orders given below, 'to be observed as the model of their government.' [J. T. Gilbert, History of the Irish confederation and the war in Ireland, vol. 1 p. 112.]
