c. 1190-1265. The Dublin Guild Merchant
Roll
The guild
roll of medieval Dublin is the earliest-known town record extant in Britain and
Ireland, and is certainly one of the best preserved and most striking documents
of its kind. The roll was compiled between 1190 and 1265 and contains the names
of those admitted annually to the merchant guild of Dublin with, for the early
years, a record of fines paid on entry. The guild members came primarily from
settlements in Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland but also from towns
throughout Western Europe, from Scandinavia to Italy. In many instances the
occupation of members is recorded in the text which is Latin, with occasional
entries in English and French. The roll provides unique information on the
social and economic history of medieval Dublin and its relationship with Europe
in a time of notable and cultural developments.

COMMENT: From these early medieval documents, there
appears to be two distinct spellings of Tracey. One appears to be Norman
(e.g. Tracy, de Traci) while
the other appears to be Irish (e.g. Otrassy, McTressy ).

there a throng of pilgrims of different nationalities. One of these entered the
Purgatory with him ; in the Latin version this pilgrim

but in the Languedoc version he is named "Mossenhor

The Irish “Hudibras”, printed in London, 1698, to ridicule and vilify
the Irish, thus describes the gentlemen of the ancient English families of the
Pale who were as fond of the harp as the Irish:
“There was old Treicy
[Tracy], and old Darcy,
Playing all weathers on the clarsey,
The Irish harp, - whose rusty metal
Sounds like the patching of a kettle.”

settlement of Ireland.
