  1. Tradition with regard to the contemplated building of a College at Clonfert by Queen Elizabeth
    There is a tradition that Queen Elizabeth contemplated the building of a University at Clonfert long before she established Trinity College near Dublin.
    (This is borne out by Elizabeth's letter to the governors of Connacht in 1579)
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
