Excerpt from Registrum Prioratus Omnium Sanctorum Juxta Dublin As long as this monastic rule was fully observed the canons of all-hallows must have mingled little in the affairs of life, and have been little noticed in public history, and accordingly we have been able to discover only few and indistinct traces of this house in the records and chronicles of the time. Still, the Situation of the priory, at the very gate of Dublin, at the head of the level ground then called the Steyn, stretching along the south bank of the Liffey to the sea, must have made the canons spectators at least of many great events. From this plaini Hasculf and John le Deue, with their iron-clad Danes, some in long breastplates and some in iron plates sewn to gether, and with round red shields edged with iron, prepared to assault Dublin.
