    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Legal documents indicate that Kilcolman was assigned to Andrew Reade on this day. Hadfield suspects that Reade possibly &quot;was involved in a speculative plan that was always designed to benefit Spenser.&quot; No records after this date indicate that Spenser remained in Dublin, leading Hadfield to believe that Spenser lived in Kilcolman before it was legally his property.  Hadfield notes that &quot;Spenser and Reade had drawn up an agreement whereby Spenser would occupy the lands and assume control of the estate if Reade had not done so by 22 May 1589, a clear indication that Reade had never had plans to live there&quot; (200-201) Maley also notes that Kilcolman was assigned to Reade and that &quot;there is no evidence to suggest that Reade ever occupied his lands.&quot; (45)]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Spenser appointed Registrar/Clerk of the Faculties in the Court of Chancery, an office he holds for seven years. (Maley, 18) Spenser&rsquo;s acquisition of this position &ldquo;meant putting down into the soil of Ireland a first small root.&rdquo; (Judson, 96) Hadfield believes that Spenser disliked his superior in this position, Adam Loftus, and satirized him in <em>Mother Hubberds Tale</em>. Hadfield also comments that "this experience [as registrar] contributed to Spenser's comments of Brehon Law in <em>A View</em>": "theare are more attainted Landes conceled from her maiestie then shee now hathe possessions in all Irelande." Hadfield goes on to say that "the Chancery court's guiding principle, equity, its importance in defining sovereignty as well as its potential abuse, is a key concept in Spenser's later work, especially the second part of [<em>FQ</em>], suggesting that his experience in the Dublin courts had a profound effect on his conception of the law and his literary imagination."
