Text of statute as originally enacted

The Statutes of Kilkenny (40 Edw. 3 (I)) were a series of thirty-five acts enacted by the Parliament of Ireland at Kilkenny in 1366, aiming to curb the decline of the Hiberno-Norman Lordship of Ireland. The statutes generally prohibited English and Anglo-Normans from cohabiting with the native Irish.
