Note 210 — Chapter VII · THE EPIDEMIC IN GLOUCESTER, WORCESTER, WARWICK, AND OXFORD.
Reading edition
The author seems to imply that the plague reached Ireland in 1348. It is, however, probable that 1349 was in reality the date, for in that year, on July 14, Alexander de Biknor, the Archbishop of Dublin, died, and also the Bishop of Meath in the same month (cf. Gams, Series Episcoporum, 219.)
