(») See vol. i, p. 172, note " f," sub " Athenry," and p. xviii, preface, note " a," as to the distinction between " Buro" and" Bominus " in the early Irish Baronies. ( b ) The title is variously given, viz. (1) in "Lodge" (1789) as "Baron of King- sale, Huron Cuurcy of Courcy nud Baron of Ringrone ; " (2) iu " Dcbrett," in "Burke," aud iu "Lodge" (19th century) as "Lord Kingsale, B iron Courcy of Courcy, and Baron of Ringrone ; " and (3) iu " Foster " as in the text. Certainly " Baron Courcy of Courcy " does not commend itself as a likely designation, tho' it is not improbable that the correct style might have been " Baron Courcy of Kingsale and Ringrone." It is, however, said to have been confirmed by King Richard II., as the Barony of Kingsale and Ringrone, but the owner is called " Lord Baron of Kingsale and Baron Courcy and Ringrone," in the resolution of the House of Lords [I.], 4 Oct. 1721, while in an official report of 1027 (see p. 395, note " b "), he is called " Lord Courcy, Baron of Kiugsale, and Baron of Ringrone." Lastly, the claim, made in 1760, to the title of "Baron Kingsale and Baron Courcy of llinyrone" was allowed, in 1761, as " Lord Coursie, Baron Kingsale and Baron of Ringrone." (0) Tho account of the Barons of Kingsale previous to the middle of the 16th century, as also their succession, is very unreliable. (d) This John is said in "Lodge" (vi, 147), to have sue. his brother as 5th Lord, tho' the date of his death is there given as in the text. See also p. 395, note "a," to 17th or 18th Lord.
