A fiant was a writ issued to the Irish Chancery mandating the issue of letters patent under the Great Seal of Ireland.

Fiants relating to early modern Ireland are an important primary source for the period for historians and genealogists. The Tudor fiants were especially numerous, many relating to surrender and regrant. A fiant often provides more information than the ensuing letters patent recorded on patent rolls. There are also fiants for which the patent roll does not list any letters patent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
