PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

SIR JAMES WARE'S History of the Bishops of Ireland,
as enlarged by Walter Harris, and published in
1739, is a folio volume, consisting of 660 pages. Of
these no more than sixty, exactly one-eleventh part
(instead of one-fourth), are devoted to the province
of Tuam; so little of ecclesiastical information could
be obtained, even at that time, concerning this remote
and often distracted province.

The lapse of upwards of a century has still further
diminished the stock of materials which existed in
Harris's day; so that I shall hope to stand, excused
with all reasonable men, if this portion of my work
exhibits a still more meagre appearance than the
others. In truth, the lists of succession in almost
every diocese are defective ; and the information
which could be gleaned respecting individuals was
very scanty.

It must also be taken into consideration, that some
of the Chapters of Tuam province have but few
members. Indeed, several of these dioceses are ex
tremely limited in the number of benefices and of
clergy. Thus, for instance, Clonfert contains only

iv PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

eleven benefices ; Killala has thirteen benefices (in
cluding the deanery), consisting of twenty-seven pa
rishes ; and out of these twenty-seven, there are only
three in which the incumbent receives the rectorial
as well as vicarial tithes. In Achonry diocese, the
benefices (including the deanery) are only nine ;
the parishes are twenty-five. In only three of them
are the rectorial tithes received by the incumbent.
In all the other instances they are at present in the
hands of laymen.

The whole diocese of Kilmacduagli contains but
four benefices (including the deanery). These are
composed of twenty-three parishes. There is only
one Rector, who receives the entire tithes of his pa
rishes, two in number.

The Capitular bodies of this province are not uni
form in their constitution. Several of them have
lost certain members which manifestly belonged to
them two or more centuries ago ; but none present
the defective appearance of some of those in Ulster,
as Kilmore, Ardagh, or Clonmacnois.

The bishopric of TUAM now includes the minor
sees of Mayo and Enachdune. Its Chapt er con
sists at present of a Dean, Provost, Archdeacon, and
eight Prebendaries. There is evidence that in an
cient times it possessed a Chancellor and a Trea
surer. In the sixteenth century the number of its
Vicars Choral was jive. These have been gradu
ally withdrawn ; at the present time there is only
one. From the year 1661 to 1741, the see of Kil-

PRELIMINARY REMARKS. v

fenora, in the province of Munster, was annexed to
Tuam ; and from 1741 to 1839 (Kilfenora having
been disunited), that of Ardagh, in the province of
Ulster, was joined to it. The Church Temporalities
Act of 1834 restored Ardagh to the see of Kilmore,
and united Killala and Achonry to the diocese of
Tuam.

The ancient see of KILLALA, in the county of
Mayo, preserved its distinct and independent posi
tion from the days of St. Patrick till the year 1834,
when the ill-omened Church Temporalities Act an
nexed it to Tuam, as above mentioned. Its Chapter
formerly comprised a Dean, Archdeacon, Provost,
and two Prebendaries. In the seventeenth century
several other prebendal churches were added to it.
At present the prebends are jive in number. The
Provost is now styled Prascentor. The diocese of
ACHONRY, which I have said contains very few be
nefices, was united to Killala in the year 1623, and
the union has continued to this day. Its Chapter
formerly comprised a Dean, Provost, Archdeacon,
tmdfive Prebendaries. In the seventeenth century
several other churches of the diocese were styled
prebendal. At the present day the Prebendaries are
three.

The diocese of ELPHIN contains within it several
smaller sees, which appear to have been separate
and independent at various periods between the
sixth and thirteenth centuries, as Ardcarne, Drum-
cliffe, lioscommon, &c., of which some slight account

vi PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

will be found at p. 130, seq. In the year 1841 it
became united to Kilmore and Ardagh, in the pro
vince of Ulster, under the strange carving operations
of the Church Temporalities Act.

The Chapter of Elphin has been altered from its
original constitution. Anciently it contained twelve
Prebendaries, of which only eight now remain. Its
Provost has been changed to a Prcecentor.

The diocese of CLOKFERT received the annexation
of Kilmacduagh in the year 1601 ; and in 1834 both
of them became united to Killaloe, a bishopric in
a different province, under the before-named Act.
Clonfert is the only diocese in Ireland, which has
preserved that ancient ecclesiastical officer, & Sacrist.
The other members of its Chapter are, a Dean, Arch
deacon, and eight Prebendaries.

The small diocese of KILMACDUAGH, situate in the
south-western part of the county of Galway, was
united to Clonfert in 1601, and with it has been
handed over to Killaloe, as stated above. Its Chap
ter has varied in its component parts from time to
time. At one period it had six Prebendaries; after
wards Jive ; at present there are only two.

The contents of the Diocesan Registries are in ge
neral very scanty, almost all the most ancient records
having been lost. Those of Tuam, which remain, are
preserved in the vestry room of the Cathedral ; but
all the others are kept in private dwelling-houses ;
and of course are continually subject to all the ca
sualties to which such buildings are liable.

PRELIMINARY REMARKS. vii

At Tuam, the oldest Book of Titles commences at
the year 1662; the oldest Roll of Oaths at 1752;
the oldest Visitation Book, 1 7 — . Among the papers
there are some relating to the diocose of Kilfenora,
between the years 1661 and 1741, during which pe
riod the latter see continued annexed to Tuam ; and
others relating to the diocese of Ardagh, between
1741 and 1839. There are likewise some few Visi
tation Books of .the Province, viz. of Elphin, 1787,
&c.; of Clonfert, 1742, 1787, &c.; of Kilmacduagh,
1811, &c.; of Killala and Achonry, 1793, &c.

At KILLALA, the oldest Title Book is of the year
1695; the oldest Roll, 1727; oldest Visitation Book,
1708. The records of Achonry are kept in the Kil
lala books.

At ELPHIN, the oldest Title Book is of 1661; Roll
of Oaths, 1720; Visitation Book, 1722. The Chap
ter Book of Elphin commences in 1723.

At CLONFERT, the oldest Book of Titles is of 16 93 ;
Roll of Oaths, 1735; Visitation Book, 1722. The
Registrar of this diocese, Peter White, on his ap
pointment to his office in the year 1717, expressed
his horror at the nakedness of the repository, in a
quaint memorandum, stating that he " found in the
Registry no Records, nor anything else!"

In preparing this portion of my work, as well as the
former ones, I have been favoured by the warm coun
tenance of the Bishops of the Province, and the ready
and efficient aid of their Registrars. I beg to express
my best thanks on this account to the Lord Bishops
of Tuam, of Elphin, and of Killaloe and Clonfert ;

viii PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

also to the Rev. J. Clarke, of Tuam ; the Rev. Ed
ward Hartigan, of Clonfert; Frederick Stock, Esq. of
Killala ; and E. B. Kenney, Esq. of Elphin. I am
likewise indebted to the Deans of Killala, Elphin,
and Kilmacduagh, and to the Rev. C. H. G. Butson,
of Clonfert, for much kind assistance and informa
tion; to the Rev. William Reeves, for the ancient
Papal Taxations of the province ; and to M. W. Sa
vage, Esq. Clerk of the Privy Council, Dublin, lor
permission to extract from the original Council
Books the suspensions of appointments to Cathedral
Dignities or Prebends, which have taken place under
the Church Temporalities Acts.

Having now, under Divine favour, brought this
compilation to a close, I have to admit its numerous
deficiencies and other imperfections; some of which,
perhaps, might have been avoided by more minute
and protracted inquiries. But I trust that, even in
its present state, it may occasionally supply my bre
thren and others with useful information, not easily
to be obtained elsewhere, and which appeared to me
to be in yearly danger of becoming almost wholly
lost to the Public.

May the Church of Ireland approve the design, and
overlook its inadequate execution, and be willing to
accept the unworthy offering from one of her adopted
sons and most devoted servants,

DIOCESE OF TUAM.

THE see of Tuam is said to have been founded about the
beginning of the sixth century. Its prelates are some
times called by the Irish Annalists " Bishops, or Arch
bishops, of Connaught." The present diocese of Tuam
comprises two other bishoprics, which were annexed to
Tuam at different periods ; namely, that of Mayx>, which
became united to it in the year 1559 ; and Enachdune,
which, after a long series of disputes between the re
spective prelates, was finally annexed to Tuam, about
the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

The Bishops of each see will be found below, so far
as the present imperfect materials can furnish them.

ARMS OF THE SEE.

In Harris's edition of Ware is an engraving of the seal of
Archbishop Felix O'Ruadan, dated 1202 ; inscribed SIG.
F.ffiL. o RUADAN. ARCHIE?. TUAM, with a standing figure
of a Bishop in his robes, giving the benediction. And
also of another, inscribed SIGILLUM ARCHIEP. TUAM, 1739,
which bears an entirely different coat of arms. No an
cient seal is remaining in the Registry at Tuam.

SUCCESSION OF BISHOPS.

A. D. 501 (circa). ST. JARLATH, a man of great learning,
and exemplary purity of life, is said to have founded
a monastery at a place called Cluain-fois, near Tuam,
about the beginning of the sixth century. To this mo
nastery he attached a school, in which, among other
eminent scholars, St. Brendan, afterwards Abbat of
Clonfert, and St. Colman, the first Bishop of Cloyne,
were educated under his inspection. Soon afterwards
he erected a cathedral church in Tuam, and became its
first Bishop. He lived to a great age. The time of his
death is not exactly known, but is believed to be about
the year 540.

Ware has stated that certain " Prophecies," which are
still extant, have been attributed to Jarlath ; but he is of
opinion that they are the production of some one of his
successors at a far more recent period.

The list of St. Jarlatli's successors for some centuries
is sadly imperfect.

781. FERDOMNACH was Bishop. He died in this year.

969. EUGENE M'CLERIGH, called " Bishop of Connaught,"
died.

1033. MURCHAD O'Nioc died.

1085. AEDH O'HoisiN (now called O'HESSIAN), who is
styled " Bishop of Connaught", died.

1086. ERCHAD O'MAEL OMAIR died.

1091, or 1092. CORMAC O'CAIRIL (O'CARROL?) died.
1117, or 1118. CATHASACH O'CONAIL died.
1128. MURCHAD O'Nioc (see above) died, on the island
called Inis an Ghoill. [O'Flaherty.]

BISHOPS. 5

1136. DONALD O'DuBHAi, whom the Annalists style
"Archbishop of Connaught," died on March 17th, at
Clonfert, and was there buried.

Harris notes the curious circumstance, that three
Bishops bearing the same names, namely, of Tuam, El-
phin, and Clonmacnois, should have died in the same
year ; or else, that the same prelate should have ruled
over those three distant dioceses.

1150. MAURICE or MUREDACH O'DUBHAI died, aged 75.
He was a person of so eminent wisdom and liberality,
that one of the old annalists has proclaimed that "when
he died, Ireland died with him." He was buried in the
Abbey of Cong.

ARCHBISHOPS.

1150. EDAN O'HoisiN, O'OssiN, or UA DEISIN, succeeded.
He received the pall of an Archbishop from Cardinal
Paparo, the Pope's Legate, at the Synod of Kells, in
1152. He is greatly celebrated for piety, liberality, and
learning. He died in 1161, and was buried in his ca
thedral, where formerly an epitaph in Irish to his me
mory might be seen.

1161. CATHOLICUS or CADHLA O'DUBHAI succeeded. He
appears to have been a person of great talent ; and was
employed in much important business, of Church and
State, both in England and at Rome. Having presided
over this see during the long period of forty years, he
died at a very advanced age, in 1201, in the Abbey of
Cong.

1201. FELIX O'RuADAN, a Cistercian Monk, uncle ofRo-
deric O'Conor, King of Ireland, succeeded. In 1235
he resigned his charge, and retired to St. Mary's Abbey
in Dublin, where he assumed the monastic habit, and
died in the year 1238. His episcopal seal is engraved
in Harris's Ware.

6 TUAM.

1235. MARIANUS or MAEL-MURRY O'LAGHNAN, Dean of
Tuam, having been elected by the Chapter, was accepted
by the Pope, and afterwards received confirmation from
the King. The Four Masters seem to intimate that he
was consecrated in England. He is said to have been
an eminent canonist. He died at the town of Athlone,
about Christmas, in the year 1249.

1250. FLORENCE M'FLYNN, or FLOIN, by others called Fi-
ACHA O'FLYN, Chancellor of Tuam, having been elected
by the Chapter, was confirmed by the King, and subse
quently by the Pope, " on account of his great learning
and wisdom." [Four Masters.] He was consecrated at
Tuam, on Christmas Day. During a vacancy of the
see of Enachdune, Florence took possession both of its
spiritualities and temporalities, and retained them during
his life. In the year 1255 he went over to England, to
confer with the King upon that and other Church mat
ters; and appears to have succeeded in his objects; as
the Four Masters tell us, that " all the favours which he
asked were honourably granted to him by the King."
He died at Bristol on his return to Ireland, in 1256,
leaving behind him a high character for learning and
knowledge of the laws.

[1256. JAMES O'LAGHNAN was unanimously elected by the
Chapter, and received the King's confirmation, in a pa
tent dated October 16th. Yet he never was able to ob
tain possession of his see, because the Pope had intruded
another person into it.]

1257. WALTER DE SALERNO, also called WALTER DE LON
DON, Dean of St. Paul's, was appointed by the Pope ;
and after some difficulty obtained King Henry's confir
mation, and had his temporalities restored. He never
personally visited his see, having been cut off by death
at London, on his way home from Rome, in April or
August, 1258.

ARCHBISHOPS. 7

1259. THOMAS, or TOMULTACH O'CoNon, Bishop of Elphin,
was elected by the Chapter, confirmed "by the Pope, and
accepted by the King. He was consecrated in the
Pope's palace at Rome, from whence he brought home
a Pallium, and great favours for the clergy besides. He
appears to have been a man of ability, learning, and
judgment. Having governed the sees of Tuam and
Enachdune during twenty years, he died at Tuam in
June, 1279. After his death, the see was kept vacant
for some years.

1286. STEPHEN of FULBURN, Bishop of Waterford, was
translated to Tuam by a Papal bull, dated 12th July,
1286, after a long contest between the rival claims of
two other candidates, who had been severally elected
by different portions of the Chapter of Tuam. Fulburn
was an Englishman, and was a member of the Order of
Knights Hospitallers ; he twice filled the office of Lord
Justice of Ireland. He held the see of Enachdune as
well as that of Tuam; but not without serious opposi
tion from a rival, John de Ufford, who had been elected
Bishop and had received the King's confirmation of his
appointment. He died in Dublin, on July 3rd, 1288,
and was buried in Christ Church Cathedral.

1289. WILLIAM DE BERMINGHAM (called by the Irish " MAC
FEORIS"), the son of Miler Bermingham, the Chief of
Athenry, was elected, and received confirmation from
the King. Going afterwards to Rome, he accepted a
fresh title to his see, from the Pope. For some years
he held Enachdune, which was vacant, until a new
Bishop of that see was elected. He died in January,
1311-12; and was buried in the Dominican Abbey of
Athenry, which had been founded by his father.

1312. MALACHI MAC ^EDHA (or MAC HUGH), Bishop of El
phin, was elected by the Canons ; and having been ap-

8 TUAM.

proved by the King, was also approved and confirmed
by the Pope. He united Enachdune once more to the
see of Tuam, by a formal decree of Pope John XX.
notwithstanding the opposition of another prelate, whose
claims to it were supported by the King, and the fact
that it had been governed by Bishops of its own for more
than twenty years. After an incumbency of thirty-five
years, Malachi died on August 10th, 1348, and was
buried in the Cathedral of Tuam.

1349. THOMAS O'CARROL, Archdeacon of Cashel, and a
Canon of Ardfert, was preferred to this see by the Pope ;
although another person of high family, Robert Ber-
mingham, had been elected Bishop by the Chapter. He
was consecrated at Avignon. It is related, that O'Car-
rol had been elected to the sees of Ardfert, and also of
Clonmacnois ; but that he chose to decline both those
bishoprics. He appears to have been a person of emi
nent learning, and greatly esteemed. In 1365 the Pope
translated him from hence to Cashel.

1365. JOHN O'GRADA (O'GRADY), Archdeacon of Cashel,
was elected by the Chapter, and received consecration at
Avignon. The King accepted him, and restored his
temporalities forthwith. The Four Masters, ever lavish
of commendatory phrases, style him " the most dis
tinguished man of his time for wisdom and hospitality."
He died at Limerick, on September 19th, 1371, and
was there interred.

1372. GREGORY, Bishop of Elphin, was promoted to Tuam
by the Pope. We hear nothing of his acts or character.
He died in 1384.

1384. GREGORY O'MOGHAN, or O'MAHON, obtained an ap
pointment to the See of Tuam from Clement VII.
one of the contending claimants of the Papal throne;
but in the next year his rival, Pope Urban VI. having

ARCHBISHOPS. 9

obtained the mastery, deposed Gregory, and appointed
another Archbishop in his room. This insulting treat
ment is said to have broken his heart, and caused his
death in 1392. O'Donovan is of opinion that this pre
late had been married before he took Holy Orders, as
two of his sons are named in a pedigree of the family.
[Hy-Fiachrach, p. 42.]

1386. WILLIAM O'CORMACAIN was declared Archbishop
by Pope Urban VI. But in 1394 his patron thought
fit to compel him to resign in favour of a new protege,
and to retire to the see of Clonfert. It is said that he
took this ill-treatment so much to heart, that he neg
lected to take out the necessary instruments for his last
bishopric, and died before he was put into possession of
that See.

1394. MAURICE O'KELLY, Bishop of Clonfert, being a fa
vourite of the Pope, was translated to this see, compul-
sorily vacated by his predecessor. He was a man of high
blood, belonging to the family of the chieftains of Hy-
Many. Ma Geoghegan calls him " a learned and witty
prelate." He died on September 29th, 1409 (not 1407,
as stated by Ware). [O'Donovan 's Tribes of Hy-Many.]

1410. JOHN BABYNGHE, D. D. a Dominican friar, was ap
pointed by Pope Alexander V. before the end of
1409 ; but that Pope dying before his bulls were expe
dited, he received a new appointment from Pope John
XXIII. dated 25th May, 1410. According to Ware, he
enjoyed his bishopric a very short time (but the Hiber-
nia Dominicana states that he lived till 1427, and says
nothing about his having resigned at a previous period).

141 1(?) CORNELIUS, a Franciscan friar, was promoted to
this See by the Pope, on September 18th of this year.
[Ware.] But De Burgo shows that this date must

needs be wrong, and that Babynghe certainly held the
archbishopric in July, 1418.

1427. JOHN BATERLEY (or BARLEY), D. D. an Englishman,
of the Order of St. Dominic, succeeded. He was a per
son of great learning, and an eloquent and assiduous
preacher. It is reported that he composed several works,
but none of them are known to be remaining. He sat
about nine or ten years ; and was buried in the Domini
can Convent of Athenry, on the north side of the high
altar.

[1437. " The Archbishop of Connaught Tuam, of the Ber-
mingham family, died." [Four Masters.] Quaere, to
whom does this allude ?]

1438. THOMAS O'KELLY, a Dominican friar, Bishop of Clon-
fert, was translated to Tuam by the Pope. He is spoken
of as being a man eminent for piety and liberality. He
died in 1441.

1441. JOHN DE BURGO, or BURKE, a member of the family
afterwards created Pearls of Clanrickard, succeeded. Some
of the annalists call him "the Archbishop of Conaught,
the son of the Parson, son of Mac Johnin Burke." [An
nals of Clonmacnois, apud Ware.] He died in Gal way,
in the year 1450.

[1451. REDMOND M<WILLIAM BERMiNGHAMis said to have
succeeeded Burke, by provision from the Pope ; but he
did not live long enough to arrive from Rome and take
possession of his see. [Annals of Clonmacnois, apud
Ware.]

1451. The name of the next Archbishop has not been
preserved.

1458. DONAT O'MuRRY, O'MURCHADHA, or O'MURRIDY, an
Augustinian Canon, was appointed by the Pope, about
this year. He distinguished himself by founding the
College of St. Nicholas at Galway, consisting of a War-

ARCHBISHOPS. 11

den and eight Choral Vicars ; he also endowed it with
the Archbishop's fourth portion of tithes arising out of
the town of Galway, and with other property. [O'Fla-
herty's West Connaught.] He died on the 17th of Ja
nuary (in the year 1484, according to Ware's opinion).

I486. PETER of BURGUNDY, a Dominican friar, is stated to
have been Archbishop of Tuam in 1486. [Hib. Domin.]

1487(?) WILLIAM JOY was advanced by the Pope. His
consecration took place in 1487. Ware believes that
the Pope appointed him in 1485 ; but perhaps the ap
pointment was not completed at that time. He died on
December 28th, 1501.

1503. PHILIP PINSON, D. D. an English Franciscan friar, a
suffragan of the Bishop of Hereford, was appointed by
the Pope, at the request of King Henry VII. on Decem
ber 2nd. But he died of the plague at Rome, within
three days after his appointment.

1506. MAURICE O'FiHELY, or DE PORTU, D. D. a Francis
can friar, was promoted to this see by the Pope, on June
26th, after a vacancy of three years, in which interval
King Henry VII. had bestowed it upon Walter Blake,
Bishop of Clonmacnois (who had been nominated once
before to Tuam, but unsuccessfully). The Pope pre
vailed.

Maurice is related to have been a man of profound
learning, an honour to his country. Three of the pro
vinces of Ireland contended for the honour of his birth.
Sir James Ware judged that he was born near Balti
more, in the county of Cork. He was educated at the
University of Padua; and for some years employed him
self as principal superintendent of the Press set up at
Venice by Octavian Scot, a nobleman of Mons. After
attending at the Council of Lateran in 1512, he returned
to Ireland; but shortly afterwards was seized with a

12 TUAM.

mortal sickness, which carried him off at Galway, on
May 25th, 1513, before he had time to say his first Mass
in his cathedral. He was buried in the Franciscan Con
vent of Galway, on the south side of the choir. A list
of his published works, so far as ascertained, may be
seen in Ware's Writers of Ireland.

1513. THOMAS O'MuLLALY, or LALY, who probably was a
Franciscan friar, succeeded Maurice. He died on April
28th, 1536, and was buried at Galway. in the same tomb
with his immediate predecessor.

1536-7. CHRISTOPHER BOBKYN, or BODEKIN, Bishop ofKil-
macduagh, was translated to Tuam by King Henry VIII.
on February 15th. He was licensed to retain the
See of Kilmacduagh in commendam. He appears to
have pliantly conformed to the religious faith of the
reignyjg monarch for the time, and by these means re
tained his preferments under Henry, Edward, Mary, and
Elizabeth. He died, full of years, in 1572, and was
buried at Galway. [See Cod. Clar. 56.]

1573. WILLIAM MULLALY, or LALY, B.C. L. was a native of
Galway, and was educated at New Inn Hall, Oxford. He

Seal dated November 6th, 1572. [Rolls Office.] He
was raised to the archbishopric by patent dated April
14th ; and held the See of Enachdune in commendam.
Harris relates that, not content with these, he endea
voured to obtain possession of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh
also, but did not succeed. He died in 1595.

1595. NEHEMIAH DONELLAN, a native of the county of Gal
way, was educated in the University of Cambridge.
Soon after his return to Ireland, he was made coadjutor
to his predecessor Laly ; and upon his death succeeded
to the archbishopric, by patent dated May 17th.

In the writ of Privy Seal directing his appointment,
it was alleged that he was " very fit to communicate
with the people in their mother tongue, and a very meet
instrument to retain and instruct them in duty and reli
gion ; and that he had also taken great pains in transla
ting and putting to the press the Communion-Book and
New Testament in the Irish language, which her Ma
jesty greatly approved of." [Rot. Pat. cited in D'Alton's
Boyle.] He voluntarily resigned his see in the year
1 609 ; and dying soon afterwards at Tuam was buried
in his cathedral. The dedication and preface to the
Irish New Testament printed in 1602 are of his compo
sition. For some account of his family, see " The Tribes
of Hy-Many," printed by the Archa3ological Society of
Ireland, p. 159.

1609. WILLIAM DANIEL, or O'DONNELL, D. D. was born at
Kilkenny. He was one of the first appointed Scholars
of Trinity College, Dublin, and afterwards one of the
first elected Fellows of the same. His patent for this
see bears date August 2nd [Rot. Pat. 7 Jac. I.] ; and at
the same time he was made Treasurer of St. Patrick's,
Dublin. He was consecrated during the same month,
in St. Patrick's. He was a person of distinguished learn
ing, and has left his country deeply indebted to him
for his important labour of finishing the Irish translation
of the New Testament, which had been commenced by
Nicholas Walsh, Bishop of Ossory, and John Kearney,
Treasurer of St. Patrick's, Dublin ; and also the version
of the Book of Common Prayer ; the former of which
works was printed in 1602, and the latter in 1608.

The Archbishop died at Tuam on July llth, 1628,
and was buried in the same tomb with his predecessor
Donellan.

1629. RANDOLPH BARLOW, D. D. Dean of Christ Church,

H TUAM.

Dublin, and Archdeacon of Meath, having been warmly
recommended by Archbishop Ussher to the King, was
advanced to this see by patent dated April 2nd. He
was permitted to hold his deanery and the rectory of
Athenry, in commendam, for some years. (He resigned
the deanery in 1634.) His"; consecration ;took place at
Drogheda in the month of April. He died at Tuam, on
February 22nd, 1637-8, aged 66 ; and was buried in
the cathedral, where his tombstone still remains, in
scribed as follows:

"RANDOLPH BARLOW, sometime Lord Archbishop of this diocese,

who departed this life the 22nd of February, 1637,

Lieth here, interred in peace and rest,

Too rich a gem for such a chest."

This stone was formerly hidden under the com
munion table, but has been removed recently to .the
southern side of the chancel.

1638. RICHARD BOYLE, D. D. Bishop of Cork, &c. was
translated to this see on May 30th. During the rebel
lion of 1641 he was put in great danger of his life; and
with the Bishop of Killala and other Protestants, was
obliged to take refuge in the town of Galway. He died
in Cork, on March 19th, 1644-5 ; and was buried in
that cathedral, in a tomb which he had previously pre
pared for himself.

1645. JOHN MAXWELL, D. D. Bishop of Killala, succeeded,
by patent bearing date August 30th. He was a person
of great learning, an eminent preacher, and of warm at
tachment to the cause and person of King Charles I.
Bishop Bui-net relates of him, that on heating of some
disaster which had befallen the Royal cause, he was so
affected with grief, that it caused his death, in Dublin
on February 14th, 1646-7. The See remained unfilled
till the Restoration.

TUAM AND KILFENORA.

1660-1. SAMUEL PULLEIN, D. D. a native of England, edu

in 1636 was made Chancellor of Cashel, and Rector of
KnockgrafTan in that diocese; in 1638 became Dean of
Clonfert; and in 1642 a Prebendary of St. Patrick's,
Dublin. At the rebellion of 1641 he was living at
Cashel ; and was plundered and severely threatened by
the rebels. For three months he was protected there,
in the house of Mr. James Sail, a Jesuit; and then,
making his escape, he retired to England. Upon the
King's Restoration he was promoted to this archbishop
ric, b}' patent dated January 19th, 1660-1; and was
consecrated in St. Patrick's, Dublin, on January 27th.
He also received a grant of the See of Kilfenora, to be
holden in union with Tuam ; which union continued
until the year 1742. He died on January 24th, 1666-7;
and was buried in his Cathedral, opposite to the Arch
bishop's throne.

1667. JOHN PARKER, D. D. Bishop ofElphin, was trans
lated to the Sees of Tuam, Enachdune, and Kilfenora,
by patent dated August 9th, and was enthroned at
Tuam on September 5th. In 1678-9 he was translated to
the archbishopric of Dublin.

1678-9. JOHNVESEY, D. D. Bishop of Limerick, succeeded,
by patent dated March 18th ; and was enthroned on May
16th. [D. Reg.] In September, 1684, he was appointed
Warden of Galway. During the tyranny of Lord Tyr-
connell under King James II. he was forced to fly

retired to England, and for some years employed
himself as a lecturer in one of the city churches of
London. At the Revolution he returned to his diocese.
He presented to the cathedral the greatest portion of its
communion-plate ; and by his will he left valuable be
nefactions, both to his diocese and to the poor. He died
on March 28th, 1716, in the seventy-ninth year of his
age ; and was buried at Holymount, his place of resi
dence.

He left behind him the following works :

1. The Life of John Bramhall, Archbishop of Ar
magh (prefixed to an edition of his works), folio.
Dublin, 1678.

2. An Assize Sermon, on Psalm cxxii. 6. 4to.
London, 1683.

3. A Sermon preached at Windsor before the King.
4to. London, 1684.

4. A Sermon addressed to the Protestants of Ireland
in London. 4to. London, 1689.

5. A Sermon before the Houses of Parliament. 4to.
Dublin, 1692.

1716. EDWARD SYNGE, D. D. Bishop of Raphoe, was pro
moted to this see, together with those of Enachdune
and Kilfenora, and the Wardenship of Gal way, by patent
dated June 8th. He was enthroned at Kilfenora on No
vember 7th. This Prelate voluntarily resigned to his
clergy the " quarta pars Episcopalis" of the tithes of the
whole diocese, which his predecessors had always en
joyed; and procured an Act of Parliament securing its
appropriation from that time forward. He presided
over his sees with exemplary diligence for twenty-five
years ; and during that time exerted himself in the pub
lication of tracts upon religious and moral subjects, to
the number of fifty or more. A list of these may be seen

ARCHBISHOPS. 17

in Ware's Writers of Ireland ; and a more full one in
Nichols' Literary Anecdotes. Many of them have been
adopted, and frequently reprinted for general distribu
tion, by the Society for the Promotion of Christian
Knowledge.

The Archbishop died at Tuam, on July 23rd, 1741 ;
and was buried in the churchyard of his cathedral, at
the east end of the church. It was his own desire that
no monument should be erected for him ; but the in
habitants, to mark their respect to his memory, have
placed the capital of the ancient Cross of Tuam over his
grave.

TUAM and ARDAGH.

1741-2. JOSIAH HORT, D. D. Bishop ofKilmore, was trans
lated to the See of Tuam, by patent dated January 27th ;
and received that of Ardagh in commendam, as did his
successors for a century. He presented an organ to his
cathedral of Tuam. Some of his earlier writings are
mentioned under the diocese of Kilmore. He published
his primary Charge in 1742, under the title of " Instruc
tions to the Clergy of the Diocese of Tuam ;" this was
so highly approved, and judged to be of permanent
utility, that it has been reprinted several times by the
University of Oxford, in the collection called " The
Clergyman's Instructor." He also published "A Sermon,
before the Incorporated Society of Protestant Schools, in
Dublin, on March 23rd, 1745." 4to. Dublin, 1746. He
died on December 14th, 1751, and was buried at St.

there by his own desire, in a field which had been pur
chased for a cemetery by the British Consul.

1775. JEMMET BROWNE, D. D. Bishop of Elphin, and pre
viously of Cork, succeeded, by patent bearing date April
llth. He died, at his family seat near Cork, in June,
1782, and was there buried (in the cathedral? or at Bal-
linaspic ?) where his earliest preferment had been.

1782. The Hon. JOSEPH DEANE BOURKE, D. D. Bishop of
Ferns and Leighlin, succeeded, by patent dated Au
gust 8th. He presented to the cathedral its great bell.
In 17 9-, by the death of his elder brother, he became
third Earl of Mayo. He died at Kilbeggan, in the
county of Meath, on August 17th, 1794; and was in
terred in the burying ground of his family near Naas.

1794. The Hon. WILLIAM BERESFORD, D. D. Bishop of
Ossory, succeeded. His patent bears date October 10th.
He presented the stained glass windows to the cathedral.
In December, 1812, he was created Baron Decies. He
died at Tuam, on September 8th, 1819 ; and was buried
at Clonegam, near Curraghmore, the seat of his family,
in the county of Waterford.

1819. The Hon. WILLIAM POWER TRENCH, D. D. Bishop
of Elphin, was translated to these sees on November
10th. In 1834, upon the death of Dr. Verschoyle, Bi
shop of Killala and Achonry, those Sees became united,
by Act of Parliament, to that of Tuam. The Archbi
shop died on March 25th, 1839; and was buried at
Creagh, the burial place of his family, near the town of
Ballinasloe. The clergy of his diocese erected a hand
some marble tablet to his memory in the cathedral.

Upon his death, the See of Tuam ceased to be me-
tropolitical ; and that of Ardagh was again united to
Kilmore.

TUAM, KILLALA, and ACHONRY.

1839. The Hon. THOMAS PLTJNKET, M. A. (eldest son of
the first Baron Plunket, Lord Chancellor of Ireland)
Dean of Down, was promoted to these sees by patent
dated April 9th. He was consecrated at Christ Church,
Dublin, in the same month, by the Archbishop of Dub
lin, assisted by the Bishops of Deny and Cashel; and
was enthroned at Tuam on June 23rd.

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

The cathedral body of Tuam now consists of a Dean, Pro
vost, Archdeacon, and eight Prebendaries; together
with one Vicar Choral. It is of great antiquity, being
mentioned in the year 1201. It seems not improbable
that in early times there was some difference in its con
stitution. For instance, we find Florence M'Flynn
called " Chancellor of Tuam," when he was raised to the
archbishopric, in 1250 [Ware] ; and Robert Berming-
ham is likewise called " Chancellor" when elected Arch
bishop in 1349. [Ibid.] But it is very possible that
both these persons were Chancellors of the diocese, i. e.
Vicars General. At a later period, at a Visitation du
ring the reign of Queen Elizabeth, Malachi O'Molownan
is styled " Treasurer of Tuam." [MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl.
E. 3. 14.] Neither a Chancellor nor Treasurer is ac
knowledged at the present day.

SEAL.

A seal of the Dean and Chapter is engraved in Harris'
Ware. It bears the figure of a very large church, with
the inscription, SIG. DECANI ET CAPIT. TUAM, without any
date.

SUCCESSION OF DEANS.

1230. MARIAN, or MAEL-MURRY, O'LAGHNAN, said to be an
eminent Canonist, was Dean. [Cod. Clar. 46.] In 1235
he was elected Archbishop of the see. He undertook a
pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and committed an account of
his travels to writing. He died at Athlone, shortly be
fore Christmas, in the year 1249.

1282. CONSTANTINE O'DowD appears as Dean. [Cod.
Clar. 46.]

133-? PHILIP HANLAIN was Dean. He died on June 19th,
1339. [Ibid.]

1339. DENIS, son of Hugh M'^Edha, succeeded. [Ibid.]

1394. JAMES appears as Dean

1399. JAMES CAER (CARR, or CAHIR?) probably the same
person, was Dean. [Ibid.]

1523. THOMAS was Dean. [See the Miscellany of the Irish
Archaeological Society, vol. i. p. 75.]

1558. WILLIAM MULLALY, or LALY, B.C.L. was a native of
Galway, but received his education in the University of
Oxford, and graduated there. He was presented to this
dignity on November 7th, and with it held the prebend
of Laccagh. In 1573 he was raised to the archbishopric.
He died in 1595.

1573. EDWARD BROWNE, Prebendary of Laccagh also, was
presented to this deanery on April 21st. At the same

DEANS. 21

time he received a dispensation to retain his prebend,
together with other preferment ; a favour which appears
to have been granted to him, by reason of his having
been designed by the Queen for the bishopric of Down,
but another person had previously received that appoint
ment. In a Visitation Book remaining in Trinity Col
lege, Dublin (of about the year 1591) [MS. E. 3. 14.],
he is styled Dean of Tuara, and Dean of Mayo or
Annaghdown; "but a certain Thomas Ballagh alleges
that he is Rector."

1609-10. ABEL WALSH, D. D. a Fellow of Trinity College,
Dublin, was presented on February 6th. [Rot. Pat.]
He was a Vicar Choral also at the time. [MS. Marsh.]
In December, 1615, the Crown presented him to the
vicarage of Eirke, in the diocese of Ossory; and he
also held a prebend in the cathedral of Kilkenny.
1625. THOMAS PEYTON, a Fellow of Trinity College, Dub
lin, was presented on June 2nd. [Lib. Mun.] He died
some time after the year 1637, and was buried in the
cathedral, near to the Communion table ; where a stone
to his memory still remains, but the date of his death is
not given on it.

1638? JOHN KING, M. A. a Prebendary ofElphin, suc
ceeded. [Lib. Mun.] He appears as Dean in 1650.
[Carte's Ormond, vol. ii. p. 132.]

1661. WILLIAM BUCHANAN, M. A. Dean of Achonry, suc
ceeded, by patent dated June 21st. He was presented
again, on the 29th of March following. [Rolls Office.]
1669. JAMES WILSON, M. A. Provost of Tuam ; presented

vants, on Good Friday, April 18th, 1712. He was
buried in the cathedral ; where a monumental tablet,
placed on the north wall, commemorates the occurrence
in these words:

" Hie juxta situm est Revdi. Viri ROBERTI ECHLIN, decani Tuamensis
quodcunque erat mortale ; qui die Passionis Dominican parricidali servorum
maim extinctus est, Aprilis 18, A. D. 1712. ^Etatis 73."

1712. JOHN HINTON, I). D. was presented on August 31st;
[Lib. Mun.] ; and was instituted on September 24th.
[D.R.]

[1712. THOMAS BUTLER, M. A. is said to have been pro
moted to this deanery " on the death of R. Echlin."
(FF.) But quaere this.]

[1716. WILLIAM WHITE, M. A. is said to have been ap
pointed Dean. (FF.) But I think this may be an error.
White was made Dean of Kilfenora (at that period
united to Tuam) in 1716. He resigned on August 2nd,
1724.]

[1724. JONATHAN BRUCE, M. A. succeeded. (FF.) I think
there may be the same mistake here. Bruce was ap
pointed Dean of Kilfenora in 1724, and held that dignity
to the year 1750, or later.]

1743. ISAAC GERVAIS, M. A. a Prebendary of Lismore, was
presented on May 29th. [Lib. Mun.] He died in Fe

Dublin, but received his education in the University of
Oxford. He was the last Chaplain of the Irish House

month. In 1810 he became Provost of Kilmacduagh,
and in the same year resigned this deanery for that of
St. Patrick's, Dublin.

1810. RICHARD BOURNE, M. A. Chancellor of St. Patrick's,
Dublin; presented on June 1st; instituted June 16th.

VICARS CHORAL. 47

VICARS CHORAL.

IT appears that in ancient times the Vicars Choral of Tuam
were five in number. In process of time some of these
were discontinued, and their revenues were applied to
the purposes of an (Economy Fund. The diminution
in number was gradual, as will be seen below. At the
present time there is only a single one.

In the Regal Visitation Book of 1615, the five Vicars
Choral are stated to be " Rectors and Vicars of the ca
thedral church of Tuam."

Between 1558 and 1573, the following Vicars are named.

MINOR SEES.

BISHOPS OF MAYO.

The See of Mayo is believed to have been erected in the
middle of the seventh century. Probably it was of but
small extent. The time at which it became united to
Tuam is doubtful. Sir James Ware thought that the union
took place in the year 1210; but his editor, Harris, fol
lowing Archbishop Ussher's judgment, believes that the
union was not perfectly established before the year 1559.
The few prelates, whose names can now be collected,
are here enumerated ; chiefly taken from the Annals of
Innisfallen, as quoted by Harris.

A. D. 665, or 670? ST. GERALD, a native of England, one
of the disciples of St. Colman, Bishop of Lindisfarne,
enlarged a monastery at Mayo, which Colman had
founded, chiefly for the reception of some Englishmen

who had followed him from that country ; from which
circumstance it afterwards obtained the name of " Mayo
of the Saxons.1' Gerald erected this monastery into an
episcopal see, and himself became its first Bishop. He
died on March 13th, about the year 697, according to
Ware ; or, as the Annals of Tigernach say, in 732.

726, or 732. MUREDACH M'!NRACHT, or the son of INDRECHT,
"Bishop of Mayo of the Saxons," died; having been
killed in the battle of Conaght. [Ma Geoghegan.]
But see O'Donovan's Hy-Fiachrach, p. 453, who main
tains that Muredach was not a Bishop, but a Chieftain.

768. AIDAN, Bishop of Mayo, died.

1209-10. CELE O'DUBHAI (O'DuFFY), "Bishop of Mayo
of the Saxons," died. [Four Masters.]

1231. STEPHEN O'BRACHIN (O'BROCHAN?) " Archennach,
or Chief Governor of Mayo," died. [It does not neces
sarily follow that he was Bishop.']

1428. WILLIAM PRENDERGAST, a Franciscan friar, was pro
moted to this see by the Pope, on July 16th. In 1430
he was deprived, for not taking out the necessary letters
and papers at Rome ; upon which,

1430. NICHOLAS WOGOMAI, another Franciscan, was sub
stituted in his room by the Pope, on July 17th.

1478. - - O'HiGGiN, " Bishop of Mayo of the Saxons,"
died. [Four Masters.]

1492, or 1493. ODO, or HUGH, Bishop of Mayo, died.

1493. JOHN BELL, a Franciscan friar, who was acting as a
Suffragan of the Archbishop of Canterbury, succeeded,
on November 5th.

1557. EUGENE MAC BRECHAN, BRETHERNE, or BRETHMAIN,
was Bishop in this year ; and held a provincial Synod
at Drogheda, on behalf of the Archbishop of Armagh.
[Reg. DowdalL] In 1559 the See of Mayo became per
manently united to that of Tuam.

ARCHDEACONS OF MAYO.

See among the earlier Archdeacons of Tuam.

THE SEE OF ENACHDUNE.

Enachdtme, now called Annaghdown, is a village in the
county of Galway, situate on the shore of Lough Corrib.
It is understood that an episcopal See was established
here at a very early period ; but the exact date does not
appear to be known. Probably here, as occurred in se
veral other instances, the ancient abbey was raised to
episcopal dignity. At different periods we find this
see united to that of Tuam (and possibly to that of
Clonfert) ; but I have not been able to ascertain the
year in which its final and formal union with Tuam took
place.

A curious description of this bishopric, and of the
clergy belonging to it, occurs in a letter addressed by
the Earl of Ossory to Thomas Cromwell, Vicar in spiri
tual matters to King Henry VIII. This letter, which
was copied, by Sir James Ware, from the original among
Sir George Carew's papers, has been printed in " State
Papers."

The cathedral had a Dean and Chapter, and for
merly four Vicars Choral.

The Prelates of Enachdune, so far as we can now
trace them, are the following.

52 ENACHDUNE.

BISHOPS.

Ssec. VII. ST. MELDAN was Abbat or Bishop of Lough
Orbfen, or Lough Corrib. [Monast. Hibern.]

1152. TUATHAL O'CoNACTAiG, Bishop of Enachdune, as
sisted at the Synod of Kells, in this year. [Harris.]
But the Four Masters call him Bishop of Tir Briuin
(i. e. Kilmore) ; and place his death in 1179.

1189. CONCORS, or CONOR (O'MEALY), Bishop ofEnagh-
dune, was present at the coronation of King Richard I.
[Ware's Annals.] The Four Masters style him " a bril
liant gem and a pillar of the Church," and place his
death at the year 1201.

1240. MURTAGH O'FLAHERTY, Bishop, died. [Four Mas
ters.]

1250. THOMAS O'MEALLAIDH (O'MALEY) died about this
year. [Ibid.]

1251. FLORENCE M'FLIN, Archbishop of Tuam, seized
this bishopric, upon the death ofO'Maley ; and retained
both its spiritualities and temporalities; which after
wards were confirmed to him on his petition, by King
Henry III. in the year 1252, at which time the bishop
ric was declared to be nothing more than an ordinary
parish. Notwithstanding this declaration, we find seve
ral bishops elected to Enaghdune alone, for a long time
after.

1251. CONCORS, or CONOR, was consecrated to this See, and
was confirmed, by the King, on May 8th. But he could
not recover his temporalities out of Archbishop Flo
rence's hands.

1259. THOMAS O'CoNOR, Archbishop of Tuam, held Enagh
dune also, from this year till his death in 1279.

1282. JOHN DE UFFORD was elected Bishop, and obtained
the royal assent on March 16th. But four or five years

BISHOPS. 53

afterwards he was ejected by the Archbishop of Tuam,
who took possession.

1286. STEPHEN of FULBURN, Archbishop of Tuam. [See
under Tuam.']

1289. WILLIAM DE BERMINGHAM, who was appointed
Archbishop of Tuam in this year, " followed the exam
ple of his predecessors, and annexed the church of
Enachdune, which was still vacant, to that of Tuam.
He also caused the mitre, pastoral staff, and other pon
tificalia of the Bishop of Enachdune, which had been
placed for safety in a convent at Clare, till the creation
of a new Bishop, to be taken away." However, he after
wards was compelled to surrender this see.

1306. GILBERT, a Franciscan friar, having been elected by
the Dean and Chapter (but without their having ob
tained the King's license to elect), was consecrated.
Two years afterwards his temporalities were restored to
him, on June 15th; the King having pardoned his
omission, for a fine of £300. The Archbishop of Tuam
gave every opposition, and complained of him to the
Pope ; but Gilbert retained possession for nearly twenty
years.

While holding this See, the Bishop appears to have
acted as a suffragan in England (as was the custom with
many Irish prelates about this period). We find him
granting an indulgence of forty days to all those persons
who should pray for the souls of William Fundy and his
wife, who were buried in the church of Kingsbury,
Warwickshire. [Astle's Catalogue of Charters.] Also
in the year 1301, he dedicated an altar in the Abbat's
Chapel at Nether Cerne Abbey, Dorsetshire; and
granted an indulgence of twenty days to those who
should visit it. He likewise dedicated the chapel of the
Infirmary there; and granted an indulgence of thirty

54 ENACHDUNE.

days to all who should visit it. [Hutchins' Dorsetshire,
vol. ii. p. 289.]

1324? JAMES O'KEARNEY was appointed Bishop by Pope
John XXII. and by the same authority he was trans
lated to Connor, in 1325 or 1326.

1325-6? ROBERT LE PETIT, Bishop of Clonfert, was ap
pointed by the Pope on November 8th ; and had his
temporalities restored by the King on June 22nd (or
December 5th), 1326. [Rot. Claus. 20 Edw. II.] He
sat but a short time.

1327. THOMAS O'MALEY, who was Archdeacon of Enach-
dune in 1311, succeeded. He appears to have gone over
to the Pope, who was at Avignon, and to have died in
that city. The old annalists place his death in 1328;
but Harris is of opinion that he was sitting in 1330, at
which time a complaint was made to the Pope by King
Edward III. that the Archbishop of Tuam had possessed
himself of this see, under cover of a pretended union,
said to have been made by the Pope in 1324, which
union had been kept secret both from the King and the
Bishop. This appeal proved ineffectual, and the Arch
bishop retained possession.

1330. MALACHI MAC .^EDA, Archbishop of Tuam, reco
vered this see, as stated above, and kept it till his death
in 1348. Yet Ware states (p. 640) that on Bishop
O'Maley's death the temporalities of Enachdune were
seized into the King's hands, and so continued till the
year 1346.

1395. HENRY, Bishop of Enachdune, or of Mayo, is men
tioned at this year as being a suffragan to the Bishop of
Exeter. [Registr. Exon. Dr. Todd.]

139-. JOHN TWILLOW, Bishop, died in 1402. [Ware.] In
1396 the Bishop of Enachdune, a suffragan of the Bi
shop of Oxford (quaere, Exeter ?) dedicated two altars in

BISHOPS. 55

the chapel of Nether Cerne, Dorsetshire. [Hutching
Dorsetshire.]

1402. JOHN BRIT, a Franciscan friar, was appointed suc
cessor, on January 24th. [Ware.]

1421. MATTHEW, Bishop of Enachdune, died.

1421. JOHN CONNERE (CONNERY? or BONNERE?) a Fran
ciscan Friar, was advanced to the See, upon Matthew's
death, on November 14th. He appears to have holden
preferment in England together with his See. Hutching
[Hist, of Dorset] states, that " in 1422, John Boner,
Bishop of Enachdune, exchanged his rectory of Ched-
dington for the vicarage of Nether Cerne in Dorsetshire,
to which he was instituted on December 8th, 1422."

1438. JOHN, Bishop of Enachdune, is named as a suffragan
of the Bishop of Exeter. [Registr. Exon.]

1450. THOMAS, " Bishop of Enachdune, or of Mayo," was
a suffragan of the See of Exeter. [Ibid.]

1484. THOMAS BARRETT appears to have been Bishop (un
less there be some confounding of him with T. Barrett,
who was Archdeacon of Enachdune, and Bishop of El-
phin, in 1372). A manuscript in the British Museum
has the following entry: "Mr. Thos. Barrett, Bishop of
Knackdune, hath the moyetie of the lordship of Bren, in
Brentmarshe, so long as he shall stand Persone there ; so
that he with the revenues fortifie the sea-walles and
bancks for the salvacion of the said lordship." [Cat.
MSS. Harleian, No. 1278 (anno 2 Ric. III.) See also
Nos. 2293-7.] Thomas Barrett had been Prebendary
of Laughton, in the church of York (qurcre, Lincoln ?)
and was a Suffragan of the Bishop of Lincoln. [Cole.]

1551. JOHN MOORE is called " Suffragan Bishop of Enach
dune ;" and receives a mandate to assist at the consecra
tion of Patrick Walsh, Bishop elect of Waterford. [Cod.
Clar. 36.]

56 ENACHDUNE.

1573. WILLIAM MULLALY, Archbishop of Tuam, held this
see.

1622. A return, made to the Royal Commissioners by Arch
bishop Daniel, of Tuam, mentions " Annaghdown, for
merly a bishopric united to Tuam ; now merely a rec
tory, the revenues of which the Earl of Clanrickard
enjoys. It formerly had four Vicars Choral." [MS.
Marsh.]

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

There appears to have been in ancient times a Dean, an
Archdeacon, and some Canons. [The diocese likewise
had its " Official," or Chancellor.] The Canons are
mentioned in the year 1206. [Ware, p. 605.] In 1306
the Dean and Chapter are mentioned as electing their
Bishop. [Ibid.]

DEANS.

1523. DONALD O'FLAHERTY is Dean. In 1527 he under
takes to defend the Warden and Vicars of Galway
against Bernard O'Flaherty and all his claims. [O'Fla-
herty, p. 226.]

1558. PATRICK BLACH, or BLACK, was Dean for twelve or
fourteen years. [MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl. E. 3. 13.]

1638. The deanery of Enachdune is returned as vacant. (FF.)

1255. O'LAIDIGH, Archdeacon of Enachdunc, died. [Four

1311. THOMAS O'MALEY, M. A. was Archdeacon, having
been presented by the Crown, sede vacante. In 1327
he was raised to the bishopric. [Cod. Clar. 36, and
MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl. F. i. 18.]

1372. THOMAS BARRETT, Archdeacon, became Bishop of
Elphin, in this year ; and after governing that diocese
thirty-two years, left a very high character behind him.
[Ware.]

1523. EDMUND DE BURGO was Archdeacon. [Misccll.

1558-1572. STEPHEN KYRNAY (KEARNEY?) was Archdea
con. He is described as " a student residing at Oxford."
[MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl. E. 3. 13.] I do not know
whether this be the same as Stephen Kerovan (Kirwan)
who follows.

1572. STEPHEN KEROVAN was a native of Galway, and was
educated partly at Oxford, and partly at Paris. On re
turning from Paris he conformed to the Protestant reli
gion, and was made Archdeacon of Enaghdune. In
1573 he was raised to the bishopric of Kilmacduagh ;
and in 1582 was translated to Clonfert.

of Tuam and of Enachdune. [MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl. E.

CANONS.

1328. MAURICE O'GIBELLAIN, LL. D. the greatest pluralist
in Connaught, was a Canon. See more of him among
the Canons of Tuam.

1487. WALTER BLAKE was a Canon. In this year he was
advanced to the bishopric of Clonmacnois. [Ware, p.
174.] King Henry VII. wished to make him Archbi
shop of Tuam in 1504 or 1505, but the Pope refused
his assent, and appointed another person. [O'Flaherty,
p. 224-5.]

1487. JOHN DE BURGO, and NEHEMIAH MAGONELLY, are
Canons, and Officials. The latter was also a Canon of
Tuam.

1492. RICHARD (or RISTARD) DE BURGO, a member of the
powerful family of that name, had possessed himself of a
canonry, and likewise of the rectory and vicarage of Fur-
anmor in this diocese. He wanted this last church to be
erected into a prebend ; but the metropolitan, the Arch
bishop of Tuam, would not give his consent. This Ri
chard had also obtained canonries in the churches of
Tuam and of Kilmacduagh. He was living in 1511.
[O'Flaherty, pp. 168, 222, &c.]

1511. THOMAS MAC FLOYN, or MAC FLYN, was a Canon.
[Ibid. p. 171.]

It does not appear when these Vicars were first added to

DIOCESE OF KILLALA.

The See of Killala is believed to be one of those which
owes its foundation to St. Patrick. One of his biogra
phers relates, that in his progress through Connaught,
he built a church at a pleasant place on the river Moy,
and named it Kill-aladh. He appointed Muredach, one
of his disciples, its first Bishop. This transaction must
have taken place between the years 434 and 441.

In later times the prelates of this See were called by
the territorial name, Bishops of " Tir-Amalgaid" (now
Tyrawley) ; and sometimes of " Hy-Amalgaid," or " Hy
Fiachra-mui," from the families of the district in which
Killala is situate.

Very few traces of its earlier prelates are now to be
found.

ARMS OF THE SEE.

I know of no ancient seal of this diocese remaining. The
modern armorial bearings are engraved in Harris's
Ware.

SUCCESSION OF BISHOPS.

A. D. 434-441(?) ST. MUREDACH, a disciple of St. Patrick,
and one of his companions, was appointed by him the
first Bishop of his Church of Killala ; and received con
secration accordingly. We do not know the exact time
of his appointment, nor how long he sat, nor who suc
ceeded him for the next hundred years. O'Donovan is
of opinion, that this Muireadach cannot have been the
first Bishop, seeing that his received pedigree would
place him nearly two centuries too late. [Hy-Fiach-
rach, p. 228.] Perhaps there were two prelates of the
same name.

534 to 544 ? KELLACH, the son of a King of Connaught, is
said to have been Bishop of Killala, between these years.
" He was murdered by his fosterers, near a place called
Adergoole, and the murderers were torn in pieces by
wild horses." [Harris.]

During this long hiatus in the line of prelates of
Killala, we hear (from the poet Giolla losa Mor Mac
Firbis), of seven Bishops of one noted family, the
O'Maolfoghmhairs, descendants of King Laoghgaire,
monarch of Ireland, in the fifth century; who, accord-

ing to O'Donovan, were the Herenachs, or hereditary
wardens, of the church of Killala. Their names are as
follows; but we know nothing of the order of their suc
cession, nor of the periods of their incumbency. [See
Hy-Fiachrach, pp. 50, 51, 227, 228.]

FLANN MAC CELE (O'M.)

O'Donovan remarks, that these Mac Celes " of the Clann
Cele" were probably the family now called Mac Hale,
p. 50.

1151. O'MAOLFOGHMHAIR (probably one of the above-
named seven), " called Bishop of Tir Amalgaidh and
O'Fiachrach," died. [Ware.] This name is now An
glicised into Milford. [O'Donovan.]

1177. IMAR O'RUADHAIN (now RUANE), called " Bishop of
O'Fiachrach," died.

11 — ? MAEL ISA MAC MAILIN is named as a Bishop, con
temporary with one of the O'Dowda Chieftains who was
slain in the year 1197. His diocese is not expressly
named. O'Donovan conjectures that he may have been
Archbishop of Tuam ; but that See was then full and
had been so nearly forty years. And besides, the terri
tory of the O'Dowdas was situate in the dioceses of Kil
lala and Achonry. [See Hy-Fiachrach, p. 159.]

1198. DONAT O'BEODA was Bishop. He died in 1205 or
1207.

1207. CORMAC O'TARPAID succeeded; and, according to
Ware, died in 1226. But see the two following entries.

BISHOPS. 63

1214. O'CEALLAIGH, or O'KELLY, Bishop of Hy-Fiachrach,
died. [Four Masters.]

1224. MAOLMUIRE O'CoNMAic, Bishop of Hy-Fiachrach,
and of Kinel Hugh [Kilmacduagh ?] died. [Ibid.]

1234. JOHN (or AENGUS) O'MAELFOGHMHAIR died. [Ware.]

1253. GILLIKELLY O'RuADHAiN, his successor, died. On
June 22nd the King granted his license to the Chapter
to elect a new Bishop.

1253? JOHN O'LAIDIGH, a Dominican friar, was appointed
Bishop ; and was consecrated at Tuam, on the second
Sunday in Lent. He died in 1275. [Four Masters.]

1275. Another JOHN O'LALDIGH, or O'LoYNE, also a friar,
appears to have succeeded (unless there be some confu
sion here between the names). He died in October,
1280. [Ibid.]

1281. DONAT O'FLAHERTY succeeded, by canonical election,
and received confirmation from the King, on April 16th.
He appears to have been a prelate greatly esteemed.
He died at Dunboyne, on his journey to Dublin, in
1305-6 ; and was buried in St. Mary's Abbey, at Mul-
lingar.

1306. JOHN TANKARD, Archdeacon of Killala, having been
elected by the Dean and Chapter, pursuant to royal li
cense, on June 13th, was confirmed in his office by the
Archbishop of Tuam, on June 28th. We are not in
formed how long he sat.

1343. JOHN O'LAITHIN died; and the See remained vacant
three years.

1346-7. WILLIAM O'DowDA (O'DuBHDA), third son of
Donnchad Mor, a member of a very high family in
those parts, Chieftains of Hy-Fiachrach, and sometime
Kings of Lower Connaught, succeeded to the bishopric ;
and having sworn fealty to the King, had his temporali
ties restored on March 25th. The Four Masters style

him " a founder of churches and sanctuaries, a man
eminent for his piety, almsgiving, and humanity." He
died in 1350. The Annals of Lough Kee mention two
of his sons. [See also the Genealogical Table in O'Do-
novan's Hy-Fiachrach.]

1350. ROBERT, a native ofWaterford, succeeded. He sat
till the year 1380 or 1381.

1381. BRIAN FITZ DONAGH, or DOWDA, was elected by the
Dean and Chapter ; but it does not appear that he was
confirmed or consecrated ; the Pope having determined
to bestow the See on another person. Queere, whether
Brian be the same as Cormac, a son of Donchadha Og
O'Dowda, who is called Bishop of Killala in the Book
of Lecan ? [See Hy-Fiachrach, p. 48.]

1381. THOMAS LODOWIS, a Dominican Friar, was placed in
the See in August, 1381, by Pope Urban VI. who
coolly told King Richard II. that he had (during Ro
bert's life) reserved this turn of presentation to himself,
decreeing every thing vain which should be attempted
contrary thereto; and, therefore, Robert being now
dead, he had promoted Lodowis, whom he exhorts the
King to take into his care and protection. [Harris.]
This Bishop died about the close of the year 1388.

1389. THOMAS ORWELL, or HORETVEL, a Franciscan Friar,
was advanced by the Pope on January 31st. In 1396
he is mentioned as being a suffragan of the See of Nor
wich. [Cole.] In 1400 he was translated from Killala
to some other See ; but whether in Ireland or England,
does not appear.

1399-1400. THOMAS, Archdeacon of Killala, succeeded by
the Pope's provision ; and the King gave him back his
temporalities on March 12th. His incumbency was
very short.

1403. MUREDACH, surnamed CLERAGH, who had succeeded
Thomas, died in this year.

1403. The name of his successor does not appear.

1416. O'HAINMCHE, or O'HANCKI, Dean of Killala, is said
by Ware to have been promoted to the bishopric. But
the Four Masters state, that he died this year, and never
became Bishop.

14 — . CONNOR O'CONNELL, or O'COINEAL, succeeded. He
died in 1423.

1423. MARTIN succeeded Connor. He died in 1431.
[Ware.] Perhaps this is the " O'Martin," whose death
the Four Masters place in this year ; but they call him
Bishop of Clogher, in which diocese no such Prelate is
known.

1431. THADY M'CREAGH was appointed, by provision of
the Pope ; and was pardoned for accepting the appoint
ment, and was admitted to all the privileges of an Eng
lish subject, by King Henry VI. in September of this
year. [Rot. Pat. 10 Hen. VI.]

143-. MANUS FITZ-ULTAGH O'DowDA, Archdeacon of Kil
lala, was advanced to the bishopric. He died in 1436.

14 — . CONNOR O'CONNELL, Bishop, was slain in 1461, by
Manus, son of O'Dowda. [See above; there may be
some confusion here between two Connor O'Connells.]

1461. DON AT O'CoNOR, a Dominican Friar, was appointed
Bishop. [See Hib. Domin. p. 475.]

14 . JOHN O'CASSIN was Bishop. He resigned the See,

about 1490.

1493. THOMAS was Bishop in this year. He died in 1497.

1498. THOMAS, surnamed CLERAGH, or CLERK, Archdeacon
of Sodor in the Isle of Mann, was advanced to this See,
by the Pope, on June 3rd. He resigned in 1505, and
retired to the rectory of Chedsey, in Somersetshire;
where he died in 1508.

66 KILLALA.

1505-6. MALACHI O'CLUAIN, or O'CLOWAN, was promoted
by the Pope on February 12th. He was consecrated at
Terraon-feichan, by Octavian, Archbishop of Armagh,
assisted by the Bishops of Derry and Clogher, on Sep
tember 3rd, 1508. [Registr. Octavian.] We are not
told the reason why the consecration was delayed so
long. Possibly, the resignation of Thomas was forced,
and incomplete in law ; and it was deemed prudent to
wait until his death.

1523. RICHARD BARRETT appears (by proxy), at a provin
cial Council holden at Galway this year, as Bishop of
Killala. But neither the time of his coming in, nor of
vacating, is known for certain.

1549. REDMUND O'GALLAGHER succeeded to the bishopric
in this year. [MS. Tenison, in Trin. Coll. Dubl.] Can
this be the person who, in the latter part of Queen Eli
zabeth's reign, appears as Bishop of Derry under the
Pope's appointment? [See Derry diocese.]

1573(circa). OWEN O'GALLAGHER was Bishop of Killala
about this year, at least before the year 1580. He had
been appointed to it by the Pope. [Cod. Lambeth.
DCXI.]

1585. OWEN O'CONNOR, Dean of Achonry, was elected Bi
shop, or had a custodiam of the See. [Rolls Office.]
In this year he appears as party to an indenture made
between Sir John Perrott the Lord Deputy, the Arch
bishop of Tuam, Sir Richard Bourke, and other land
holders of the county of Mayo. He signs himself
" Owen electe Killala." The indenture provided that
he should have the town of Killala and six quarters of
land, rent free. [Hardiman's Appendix to O'Flaherty's
West Connaught, p. 331.] But the Bishop did not re
ceive the letters patent of his full appointment to the
See, until 1st of December, 1591. He then was conse-

crated, in that same month; and held the bishopric
about sixteen years.

1607-8. MILER MAGRATH, Archbishop ofCashel, laid his
rapacious hands upon the two remote sees of Killala and
Achonry ; and held them under a grant of commendam
from King James, until his death in 1622. That grant
bears date January 10th. It gave him other prefer
ments also, in the dioceses of Elphin, Killala, and
Achonry. He had a second grant, to the like effect,
dated April 27th, 1611; and a third, dated February
24th, 1612-3. [Rot. Pat.J

KILLALA and ACHONRY.

1623. ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, D. D. a native of Scotland,
educated at the University of Glasgow (second son of
Sir Claud Hamilton of Cochonogh, Knight), was pro
moted to this See by patent dated May 21st; and was
consecrated at Drogheda on June 29th. At the same
time he received a grant of the bishopric of Achonry,
in commendam; and from this period the two Sees have
continued to be united. In 1630 Bishop Hamilton was
translated to the archbishopric of Cashel; where having
suffered great loss and personal danger in the rebellion
of 1641, he retired to Sweden, and died at Stockholm,
in the year 1659. [Lodge.]

1630. ARCHIBALD ADAIR, M. A. Dean of Raphoe, and a
Prebendary of (Killala ?FF.) succeeded to these sees, by
two patents dated 22nd and 23rd of April. [Rolls Of
fice.] He was consecrated in St. Patrick's, Dublin, on
May 9th. On May 18th, 1640, he was deprived, by a
sentence of the High Commission Court, on a charge of
having uttered seditious words against " the Solemn
League and Covenant." [See an account of this trans-

action in Carte's Life of Ormond, vol. i. p. 96.] Soon
afterwards King Charles made him amends for this se
vere treatment, by promoting him to the bishopric of
Waterford and Lismore.

1640. JOHN MAXWELL, D. D. Bishop of Ross, in Scotland,
was translated to Killala by patent dated October 12th.
His appointment having been delayed from some un
known cause, he received a second patent, dated Fe
bruary 26th, 1640-1. [Rot. 16 Car. I.] He was a na
tive of Dumfrieshire ; became Minister of Mortlick in
Banffshire, and afterwards at Edinburgh. In 1633 he
was made Bishop of Ross, a Privy Councillor in Scot
land, and a Lord of Session. He was employed in the
compilation of the Liturgy and Canons intended for
Scotland, by Archbishop Laud ; and from that circum
stance became so unpopular, that he found it prudent to
quit Scotland in March 1638-9. [Reid.] King Charles
had a very high opinion of his abilities and honesty ;
and wished to make him Bishop of Elphin in 1639 : but
he had previously promised that bishopric to Dr. Tilson,
Dean of Christ Church, Dublin. [StrafTord's Letters,
vol. ii. p. 369.]

While sitting at Killala, he was in great danger,
with his wife and family, from the Rebels in 1641, near
to Shruel ; " but some of the Protestant gentry arrived in
time to rescue them ; and Bryan Kilkenny, Guardian of
the Abbey of Ross, near Shruel, assisted in the rescue,
and conveyed the Bishop's wife and children, with seve
ral other Protestants, to his monastery ; and there en
tertained them with great civility during several days."

and likewise, the particulars of the Bishop's sufferings
and losses, as given by himself in a deposition made on

examination, on 1st May, 1642, among Stearne's MSS.
in Trinity College, Dublin.

After these misfortunes, he repaired to the King at
Oxford, bearing with him a highly commendatory letter
from the Marquess of Ormond. [Carte's Life and Let
ters, vol. iii.] In 1645 he was translated to the archbi
shopric of Tuam; and these sees remained vacant till
the Restoration.

Bishop Maxwell was said to be a man of gravity and
consummate learning; an excellent preacher; and a
great asserter of the King's prerogative, which he de
fended in a treatise, called

1. " Sacrosancta Regum Majestas." 4to. Oxford,
1644.

Besides that work, he published (but without affix
ing his name) :

2. Episcopacie not abjured in his Majesty's Realm of
Scotland. 4to. 1641.

3. The burthen of Issachar; or, the tyrannical
Power and Practices of the Presbyterial Government in
Scotland. 4to. 1646.

This last was reprinted, in the collection called " the

1660-1. HENRY HALL, D.D. was a native of Wells in Somer
setshire, educated at Lincoln College, Oxford ; he became
Chaplain to the Marquess of Ormond, Lord Lieutenant ;
and was made Dean of Cork, and a Prebendary, and
afterwards Prsecentor, of Christ Church, Dublin. He
was promoted to these sees by patent dated January
19th ; and was consecrated at St. Patrick's, Dublin, with
eleven other Bishops, on January 27th.

He did not long enjoy the episcopal dignity, dying
at his palace on July 23rd, 1663. He was buried in

remains.

166|. THOMAS BAYLY, D. D. a native of the county of Rut
land, received his education at Cambridge, and became
an eminent Greek Scholar. Having been brought over
to Ireland by Bishop Jeremy Taylor, he was made Dean
of Down, and Archdeacon of Connor. His patent for
these sees is dated March 1st. He was consecrated at
Tuam, on June 5th, by the Archbishop of Tuam, as
sisted by the Bishops of Elphin and Clonfert. [See
some account of him and his literary works under the
diocese of Down.] He died at Killala on July 20, 1670 ;
and was interred in the nave of his cathedral. His mo
numental stone has become much defaced. All of the
inscription, which can now be read, is as follows :

1670. THOMAS OTWAY, D. D. an Englishman, educated at
Cambridge, became Chaplain to Baron Berkeley, Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland ; and was promoted to these sees
by patent dated November 16th. He was consecrated
in Christ Church, Dublin, on 29th January following,
by the Primate, assisted by the Archbishop of Dublin
and the Bishops of Meath, Kildare, and Killaloe. He

was considered to be an excellent, pious, and charitable
Prelate. He rebuilt the decayed cathedral, almost en
tirely at his own cost ; and left behind him other proofs
of a generous spirit. In 1679 he was translated to the
bishopric of Ossory, under which diocese see further par
ticulars.

1679-80. JOHN SMITH, D. D. Dean of Limerick, succeeded
by patent bearing date February 13th. He was born
at Athboy, in the county of Meath. In 1635 he was
Rector of Iniskeen and Rossory, in the diocese of
Clogher. [Todd.] In 1664 he was made a Prebendary
of Limerick, and Archdeacon of Ardfert; and in 1666
became Dean of Limerick. He was consecrated at
Tuam on March 21st, by the Archbishop, assisted by the
Bishops of Elphin and Clonfert. He was aged and in
firm at the time of his promotion to the episcopal office;
and died within the year of his consecration, viz. on
2nd of March, 1680-1. On a flat stone lying on the
north-west of the communion table, in the cathedral
of Killala, is the following inscription, beneath a shield
charged with the arms of the See, and surmounted by
a mitre :

" Hie positae reducem sperant Dominum et animam exuviae Patris ad-
modum in Domino venerabilis JOANNIS SMITH, D. D. Ecclesiarum Alladen-
sis et Achadensis nuper proh dolor ! Episcopi ; Pastoris vigilantissimi, con-

1681. WILLIAM SMITH, D. D. Dean of Dromore, was pro
moted to these sees, by patent dated May 2nd ; and was
consecrated at Tuam, on June 2nd, by the Archbishop,
assisted by the Bishops of Elphin and Clonfert. Before
the close of the year he was translated to Raphoe.

1681-2. RICHARD TENNISON (or TENISON) M. A. Dean of

72 KILLALA.

Clogher, was presented by patent dated February 18th;
and was consecrated on the following day in Christ
Church, Dublin, by the Archbishop of Dublin, assisted
by the Bishops of Meath, Raphoe, and Cloyne.

He was born at Carrickfergus, and is believed to
have been a cousin of Dr. Tenison, Archbishop of Can
terbury. His first instruction was at the school of Car
rickfergus ; from thence he went to St. Bee's, in Cum
berland^ and afterwards graduated in Trinity College,
Dublin ; of which, many years afterwards, he was ap
pointed Vice-Chancellor. Having finished his college
course, he removed to Trim, and became diocesan
schoolmaster of the diocese of Meath. Subsequently he
took Holy Orders, and was made Rector of Laracor, and
of Agher in the diocese of Meath; and subsequently
Dean of Clogher, Rector of Louth, and Vicar of Donogh-
more, near Navan; having obtained these preferments
through favour of the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant,
to whom he was Chaplain. In the troubles under
King James II. he fled to England, with his wife and
six children, and undertook the cure of St. Helen's
parish in London ; but returned to Ireland upon the ac
cession of King William, and was translated to the see
of Clogher. In 1697 he was once more translated, to
Meath. While he was residing in London, he printed
a Sermon preached to the Protestants of Ireland, in Lon
don, on October 23rd, the day of deliverance from the
massacre of 1641. See others of his works, under the
diocese of Meath. In the Archiepiscopal Library at
Lambeth [Cod. 1029], is a Letter written by him to
Archbishop Tenison of Canterbury (dated 14th Septem
ber, 1696), upon the subject of the Dissenters in his
diocese. He concludes, by saying : " I am now building
a hermitage at Clogher ; where I will constantly pray

for your Grace and the Government, and end my life in
a religious retirement."

1690-1. WILLIAM LLOYD, a native either of Flintshire, or
of the Isle of Anglesey, received his education at Trinity
College, Dublin, of which afterwards he was constituted
a Fellow by Royal mandamus, on llth August, 1684.
In the same year he was made Prsecentor of Killala, and
Dean of Achonry. His patent for these Sees bears date
February 28th ; and he was consecrated in Christ Church,
Dublin, on August 23rd, by the Archbishop of Dublin,
assisted by the Bishops of Deny, Killaloe, and Clonfert
(one prelate out of every province in Ireland).

He repaired at a great expense the See-house and
gardens, which had been miserably despoiled during the
wars under King James II. He died on December
llth, 1716; and was buried in his cathedral.

His monumental stone, which lies in the centre of
the nave, is inscribed thus :

" Depositum GULIELMI [LLOYD] Episcopi Aladensis et Achadensis ;
qui obiit die Deccmbris undesimo. Anno Domini 1716."

The stone is much corroded.
The Bishop published :

1. A Sermon on John, viii. 13. 1695.

2. A Thanksgiving Sermon, on 1 Timothy, ii. 42.
8vo. London, 1715.

1716-7. HENRY DOWNES, D. D. a native of England, suc
ceeded. He had been a member of New College, Ox
ford, and Vicar of Barrington, in the diocese of Ely.
His patent bears date February 8th. He was consecrated
in St. Patrick's, Dublin, on May 12th, by the Archbi
shop of Tuam. In 1720 he was translated to Elphin,
and from thence to Meath, and afterwards to Derry.

of Meath and Raphoe. In 1726 he was translated to
Dromore; in 1731 to Kildare; and in 1742-3 to the
archbishopric of Dublin.

The following creditable anecdote is related of the
Bishop, in the late Mr. Austin Cooper's MS. additions
to Ware: " Mr. Cobbe was domestic Chaplain to the
Duke of Bolton, Lord Lieutenant, and was designed for
the deanery of Killala (in Mayl718), vacant by the death
of Knapp ; but instead of this, he was appointed Dean
of Kilmacduagh, in June 1718 [qusere this], and was
offered the rectory of St. Mary's, Dublin, then fallen to
the Crown, by lapse, thro' Dean Francis' [of Leighlin]
omission to take out a Faculty before being presented to
another benefice. But Dr. Cobbe generously refused it,

as belonging to another man, who had fallen into an
error but was guilty of no crime.

" However a King's fisher was easily found for the
purpose, one Dean Cross [of Ferns], who got possession
of that Living." [Todd's MS.]

1726-7. ROBERT HOWARD, D. D. Uean of Ardagh, and

writings, under the diocese of Ardagh.

1 729-30. ROBERT CLAYTON, D. D. was of English descent,
but born in Dublin, and educated at Trinity College, of
which he became a Fellow. He was promoted to these
Sees by patent dated January 23rd ; and was consecrated
in St. Patrick's, Dublin, on May 10th, by the Archbi

under which diocese see some notice of his character and
writings. In 1745 he was again translated, and became
Bishop of Clogher.

1735-6. MORDECAI CAREY, D. D. Bishop of'Clonfert, was
translated to these Sees by patent dated December 20th ;

promoted to these Sees on November llth. He was
consecrated before the close of the year.

In 1787 he was translated to Ferns ; under which
diocese see an anecdote honorable to his abilities and
his sense of gratitude. Besides the monument raised to
his memory in Ferns Cathedral, there is a second in the
parish church of Heversham, adjoining to one which the
Bishop had erected to his mother.

1787. JOHN LAW, D.D. Bishop of Clonfert, was translated

clock ; besides expending large sums, out of his private
purse, upon the repairs of the Cathedral ; on the purchase
of glebes for the clergy, and on the erection of school-
houses ; likewise on the judicious restoration of the vene
rable Round Tower of Killala, which had been seriously
damaged by lightning dnring his incumbency.

He died on April 13th, 1834, aged 84; and was
buried in the churchyard of Killala, where his tomb may
be seen. Within the church, on the south side of the
Communion Table, is a marble tablet to his memory, in
scribed as follows :

Near this spot are deposited the remains of the Right Reverend JAMES
VERSCHOYLE, LL. D. Lord Bishop of Killala and Achonry, over which
dioceses he presided for nearly 24 years. He departed this life on the 1 3th
day of April, 1834, in the 85th year of his age.

Upon Dr. Verschoyle's death, this bishopric became
united to Tuam, by Act of Parliament ! and the succeed
ing Prelates are to be found under the diocese of Tuam.

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

The Chapter of Killala is mentioned under the year 1281.
[Cod. Clarend. 46.] It appears to have consisted an
ciently of a Dean, Archdeacon, Provost, and two Preben
daries, viz. of Killuchanpy and Killanly. Afterwards,
in the reign of Charles I. we find seven or eight churches
styled prebendal. At present the number of Prebends
is five.

SEAL.

The Chapter Seal, now in use, is dated 1754. It bears the
figure of St. Patrick, holding a crozier in one hand and

a shamrock in the other; and is inscribed, " The Seal of
the Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Killala."

DEANS.

1416. O'HANEKI was Dean. Ware states, that he was

raised to the bishopric of Killala in this year. But the
Annals of the Four Masters relate, not that he was made
Bishop, but that he died, in this year.

1442. MAC WILLIAM BARRETT was Dean, and died in

this year. [Four Masters.] Probably he was a mem
ber of a family of Welsh extraction, which had settled
in Tirawley. [See Hy Fiachrach, p. 325-6.]

I have found no other Deans for a period of 170
years.

1613. WILLIAM FLANAGAN, a creature of Archbishop Miler
Magrath's; who also obtained for him the deanery of
Achonry, and gave him a prebend in Cashel. He was

Priest on July 29th, 1627) was presented on February

" Vir bonae famas, doctrinae sufficient, et optimae con-
versationis." [Reg. Vis.] In 1635 he was made Dean
of Achonry ; and soon afterwards exchanged the Deanery
of Killala for the Praecentorship of the same.

1635-6. ROBERT FORGIE, M.A. Praecentor, exchanged with
Buchanan. He was presented on February 26th [Lib.
Mun.] ; and was instituted on June 9th. (FF.) The
Regal Visitors give him a good character.

1664. HENRY DC-DWELL, D. D. (ordained Deacon at Tuam,
in September, 1634, and Priest at Elphin, on June 12th,
1636). Patent dated July 7th. [Rolls Office.] He was

DEANS. 81

Bishop Stock, in his " Killala Narrative," gives him a
high character ; and mentions that he and his wife and
family were sheltered in the castle (palace) of Killala,
during the French invasion in 1798.

1800. WALTER BLAKE KIRWAN, M. A. a Prebendary of St.
Patrick's, Dublin ; presented January 25th [Lib. Mun.] ;
instituted May 23rd. (FF.)

He was born, of Roman Catholic parents, in the
town ofGalway, in 1754; was educated at the Jesuit
College of St. Omer's ; and afterwards was removed to
the University of Louvain, where he graduated and
took Holy Orders. Having been appointed Chaplain to
the Neapolitan Ambassador at the Court of London, he
took up his residence in that city, and soon afterwards
conformed to the Protestant Church. In 1787 he re
turned to Ireland ; and, being permitted to exercise his
profession in Dublin, speedily acquired extraordinary
celebrity as an impassioned preacher, more especially of
" charity sermons." In 1789 he was collated to the pre
bend of Howth, in St. Patrick's. He died, near Dublin,
on the 27th of October, 1805. A volume of his Sermons
was published in London, in 1816 ; to which is prefixed
a sketch of his life.

He has laudably exerted himself in the restoration of
the choir, and the improvement of cathedral service ; and
is author of the following publications :

2. Lectures on the principal Features of the United
Church of England and Ireland. 8vo. Dublin, 1838.

3. Pastoral Tracts, &c., addressed to his Parishio

4. "A Voice from the Cathedral," a Letter to the
Parishioners of Killala. 1845.

PROVOSTS, or PRECENTORS.

The older records denominate this officer Provost ; but in
the reign of James I. or Charles I. that name appears to
have been disused, and that of Precentor is substituted
for it.

1232. "FACHTANO'HALGAITH, Comharb ofDromMochuda,
and ' Official' of Hy-Fiachrach, a man who kept a house
of hospitality for the entertainment of the learned, and
for the relief of the sick and indigent, died." [Four
Masters.] I doubt whether this Fachtan ought to be in
serted here ; but have determined to give him the bene
fit of the doubt.

1356. GREGORY was Provost in this year, when the Pope
advanced him. to the bishopric, of Elphin. In 1372 he
was made Archbishop of Tuam.

1454. The Provost of Killala is mentioned ; but his name
does not occur. [Dudley Firbisse's Annals, p. 239.]

1626. ROBERT FORGIE, M.A. (ordained Deacon and Priest,
on November 24th, 1624) was presented by the Crown,
by lapse, on July 5th ; and was installed on August 4th.
[Reg. Vis.] He had been previously collated by the
Bishop, on the 5th of the preceding January. But it
would seem that that collation was deemed invalid. A
high character is given to Forgie by the Regal Visitors.
In 1635-6 he was made Dean. He was basely murdered,
together with several other clergymen, by the rebels, at
the bridge of Shrule, on Sexagesima Sunday, 1641-2.

1635-6. WILLIAM BUCHANAN, the Dean, upon being made
Dean of Achonry in this year, exchanged the deanery

In 1690 he was raised to the See of Killala.

he was made Chancellor of St. Patrick's, Dublin ; and in

(a) 1641. An " Archdeacon Gilbert" is spoken of at this year; but I cannot
find any trace of his appointment. In a deposition made by the Rev. John Gold
smith, Rector of Burrishoole, respecting the proceedings of the rebels and Miles,
Viscount Mayo, in 1641, he mentions an agreement signed by his Lordship and
certain others, among whom are named Archdeacon Gilbert and Dean Varges.
The latter, perhaps, may be intended for Dean Forgie, of Killala ; but I cannot
tell whether Gilbert was Archdeacon of that diocese, or of Tuam. [See Lodge's
Peerage, by Archdall, vol. iv. p. 240.] He was one of the clergymen who were
with the Bishop of Killala, at the bridge of Shrule, when the Bishop was wounded
and several of the clergy were killed. Gilbert was stripped and plundered, but
escaped with his life, [MS. Trin.Coll. Dubl., F. 3. 2.]

ANCIENT PREBENDS.

In this diocese, as well as in others, we find several churches
styled prebendal, which have ceased to be such in later
times. The Regal Visitation Book of 1633 sets down
the following prebends, in addition to the five still ex
isting:

94 KILLALA.

1. KILROE.

ARCHIBALD ADAIR, Prebendary, " absens studendi gratia."
Probably this was a son of Bishop Adair. He was or
dained Deacon on May 14th, 1633; and was admitted
on September 16th, 1633. (FF.)

2. KILLABEG, alias DRINAHAN.

Vacat ; valet v.B per annum.

3. FARRINHARPIE.

Vacat ; valet x.B per annum.

4. SKRINE, Or SKREEN (SCRINIUM S1 ADAMNANI.)

This was an ancient church, celebrated for containing the
shrine of Adamnan, the eminent Abbat of Hy. It ap
pears to have been formerly a place of considerable im
portance. In the time of Queen Elizabeth the taxa
tion of Skrine exceeded that of the deanery, viz. £5.

In 1630, MALCOLM HAMILTON, Archbishop ofCashel, was
appointed by the Crown to the prebend of Skrine, with
license to hold it in commendam, by patent dated Au
gust 3rd. [Rolls Office.] It would seem that this ap
pointment was considered as irregular, or improper. He
was installed on October 7th, 1630, by the Dean and
Praecentor, " at nullus consensus Capituli." We find
him, however, formally admitted afterwards, on Novem
ber 30th, 1631. [Reg. Vis. Pr. O.]

CANONS. 95

CANONS,

WHOSE STALLS ARE NOT NAMED.

1327. MAURICE O'GIBELLAIN, an eminent man, who ho
noured no fewer than six Chapters of this province by
belonging to them, was a Canon of Killala. See some
notice of him in Tuam diocese.

1456. DONALD M'CUNOGLOY, "gerecs se pro Canonico Ec-
clesiae Aladensis," is noticed at this year, in the Register
of Archbishop Prene, at Armagh. This description of
him is in the phrase usually adopted by the Popes, when
speaking of any Prelates or Dignitaries whom they did
not choose to recognise.

MINOR SEES.

DONOGHMORE.

This is the name of a townland in the parish of Killala; on
which it appears that there was a church built in the
time of St. Patrick, the incumbent of which bore the
title of Bishop. In one of the Lives of St. Patrick given
by Colgan (Vita septima, sect. 83), we read « Venit Pa-
tricius ad ecclesiam de Domnach-mor, ubi est Episcopus
Machua."

This saint was also patron of the Abbey of Moyne,
near Killala. We do not know whether any of his suc
cessors at Donoghmore retained the episcopal rank and
title. [Hy-Fiachrach, p. 466.]

96 MINOR SEES.

KILMORE MOY.

This place, situate in the county of Mayo, and barony of
Tirawley, is now a vicarage in the diocese of Killala,
not far distant from the town of Ballina. It is reported
to have been the see of a Bishop in the sixth century ;
but we hear of only one prelate.

Saec. VI. CEALLACH, or KELLACH, the eldest son of Eoghan
Bel, King of Connaught, had been educated by St.
Kieran, of Clonmacnois ; he entered into Holy Orders,
and became a Bishop here ; but afterwards resigned his
bishopric, and retired to a hermitage near Loch Conn, at
which place he was basely murdered, at the instigation
of a rival, who knew him to be the true heir to the king
dom of Connaught. [O'Donovan's Hy-Fiachrach, pp.
415, 471.]

BISHOPS. 97

DIOCESE OF ACHONRY.

This see, anciently called the see of Achad-Chaoin, and
Achad-Conair (from which last comes the modern con.
tracted name Achonry), was founded about the year
530, by St. Finian, Bishop of Clonard; who erected
here a monastery, and placed over it his friend and dis
ciple, Nathy, or Dathy. The superiors of this house are
occasionally sty led Prelates, Abbats, or Bishops of Achad-
Conair ; and in some of the ancient annals they are called
Bishops of Luigny, or Lieny, from the district in which
Achonry is situated.

In the year 1623 this bishopric was permanently
united to that of Killala.

As might well be expected, the list of early Prelates
of this small and ancient diocese is sadly imperfect.

ARMS OF THE SEE.

I have not met with any ancient episcopal seal of this dio
cese. The modern one, used for Killala and Achonry
united, has been engraved in Harris's Ware.

SUCCESSION OF BISHOPS.

A.D. 530. ST. NATHY or DATHY (David?), who bore the
additional titles of Cruimthir and of Cornrah, was a
disciple of St. Finian, who placed him over the church
and monastery which he had erected here about this
year. We have no information as to the duration of his
incumbency, nor as to the names of his successors for
upwards of six centuries from that time.

1152. MAELRUAN O'RUADAN was Bishop of Achonry, and
present as such at the Synod of Kells. He is said
to have been a man of wisdom, and of considerable re-

BISHOPS. 99

putation in his country. He sat eighteen years after
this Synod, and died in 1170.

1214. GILLA NA NAOMH, or GELASIUS, O'RUADAN died in
this year.

1214. CLEMENS O'SINADAIG succeeded. He died in 1219.

1219. CARUS O'TARPA, or CORMAC M'TARPA, or O'TAPPA,
Abbat of Mellifont, became Bishop of Luigny. He died
on January 25th, 1226, at Mellifont, and was buried in
his abbey.

1226. GELISA (GIOLLA IOSA) O'CLERY succeeded. The
Annals call him Bishop of Luigni. He died in 1230.

1231. THOMAS O'RUADAN succeeded. He died in 1237,
and was buried in his cathedral.

1238. AENGUS O'CLUMAIN, whom John Hartry calls Eu-
GENIUS O'CLUMHAIN, was consecrated to this see in
1238. He sat until 1250 or 1251; at which time, being
aged and infirm, he resigned his bishopric, and retired
to the Abbey of Boyle, where he died in 1263, or 1264.
The Pope's letter, accepting his resignation, and autho
rizing the Archbishop of Tuam to license the Dean and
Chapter to elect a successor, is dated " 2nd November,
anno Pontificates sexto." This must be either 1248 or
1258. See Baluzii Miscellanea, torn. i. (Todd's MS.)

1251. THOMAS O'MiACHAlN was elected, and received the
King's assent and confirmation on June 20th. He died
in the spring of 1265-6.

1266. DENIS O'MiACHAlN, Archdeacon of the diocese, was
elected Bishop. The Annals of the Four Masters call
him Thomas, and state that he was consecrated at
Athenry on the Sunday before Christmas, in company
with John, Bishop of Clonfert. He died in November,
1285, and was buried in his cathedral.

1286. BENEDICT was elected by the Chapter, in pursuance
of the Royal license, dated April 29th. On the 27th of

100 ACHONRY.

September in that year the King restored his tempo
ralities. It is probable that this is Benedict O'Bran,
O'Bragan, O'Braccain, or O'Brogan, who is called Bishop
of Luigny, and who died about the close of the year 1311.

[Harris inserts here HENRY M'OiREACHTY, a Cistertian
monk, who was Bishop of Derry at this time. The
Annals of Connaught, and of the Four Masters, call him
"Bishop of Connor;" qucere, of " Achad Conair ?" He
may have been Bishop of Achonry previous to 1297;
but this is a matter left in great uncertainty.]

1312. DAVID, of Kilheny, was elected Bishop. The King's
writ for restoring his temporalities bears date August 1,
1312. In 1306 he held a benefice in the diocese of
Kilmacduagh. [Taxation.] He died in 1344.

1344. MURCHARD M'MAEL Moi O'HARA, who had formerly
been Abbat of Boyle, was elected Bishop, but died
within the year. [Four Masters.] John Hartry's words
are, " Murchertachus vel Murachus filius Moel Muadh
O'Hara, qui foret Episcopus Luigniae — quievit."

1348. DAVID, Bishop of Achonry, died. Others say he
died in 1344. There appears to be a confusion between
him and David, above mentioned.

1348-9. NICHOLAS O'HEDRAM, a Cistertian monk, suc
ceeded, by the Pope's provision. He received his tem
poralities from the King, on March 19th. He governed
the see about twenty-five years, and died in 1373.

1374. WILLIAM ANDREW, D. D., an Englishman, a Domi
nican Friar, was appointed by the Pope ; and on August
1st, the King restored his temporalities to him. He
was considered a man of great wisdom and learning, yet
is not known to have left any literary remains behind
him. In 1380 he was translated to the see of Meath.
1381. SIMON, a regular (of some order, not now known)
appears to have succeeded ; though both Ware and

BISHOPS. 101

Harris have omitted to notice him. He was a suffragan
of the Bishop of Ely. " On December 15th, 1387, Tho
mas Arundel, Bishop of Ely, gave leave for the venera
ble father, brother ' Simon, Dei gratia Achadensis Epis-
copus,' to reconcile the church of Gamlingay, in Cam
bridgeshire, which had been polluted by the effusion of
blood." [Cole.]

1396. " The Bishop O'HARA (believed to be Bishop of
Achonry) died." [Four Masters.] Ware does not men
tion him, nor the next two prelates.

1398. THOMAS, son of Maurice M'Donagh, Bishop of
Achonry, died. [Ibid.]

1409. BRYAN O'HARA, Bishop, died. [Ibid.]

1414. LAURENCE PETER JACOPIN, a Dominican Friar, was
appointed by the Pope, by a bull dated July 6th. [Hib.
Domin.]

141-. DONAT was Bishop, according to De Burgo; he died
about the year 1424, as appears by the Papal bull ap
pointing his successor. [Ibid.]

1424. RICHARD BELMER, B. D. a Dominican Friar, was
appointed by the Pope, on April 12th. [Ibid.]

1435. O'HARA the Red, Bishop of Achonry, died. [Four
Masters.]

1436. NICHOLAS O'DALY, a Dominican Friar, was promoted
to this see, by the Pope, on September 3rd. [Hib.
Dom.] Pope Eugenius IV. speaks of him as being a
person of great virtue. [Todd's MSS.]

1442. THADY (quaere, Abbat of Boyle?) died at Rome, this
year.

1442. JAMES BLAKEDON, D. D. a Dominican Friar, suc
ceeded, by the Pope's provision, dated October 15th.
[Hib. Domin.] In 1452—3 he was translated to the see
of Bangor, in North Wales. H e was born at Blakedon,
or Blackdon, in Somersetshire; and in 1443 became a

102 ACHONRY.

suffragan of Bishop Backington of Bath and Wells. He
was likewise Master of St. Catherine's Hospital, at Bad-
minster, near Bristol, which was the mother church of
all the Bristol churches in Somersetshire. He held this
last appointment till his death on October 24th, 1464.
[Hearne's Walter Hemingford, and Willis's Survey of
Bangor.]

1452. CORNELIUS, Abbat of Boyle, succeeded Blakedon.
He governed the diocese twenty years, and died in 1472.

1473. ROBERT WELLYS, or WELLYL, a Franciscan Friar,
was appointed by the Pope, on July 14th. The dura
tion of his incumbency does not appear.

1488 or 1489. BERNARD, Bishop of Achonry, died.

1489. JOHN DE BTJSTAMANTE, or BUCLAMANT, a Spanish
Monk, Preceptor of the Convent of St. Catherine, at
Toledo, was appointed Bishop by the Pope's provision,
dated September 23rd. Ware is of opinion that he
never came over to Ireland to visit his see.

14 — . RICHARD is said to have succeeded. If so, he held his
dignity but a very short time ; for he died in 1492.

1492. THOMAS FORT, M. A. an Augustinian Monk of Bod-
min, in Cornwall, was appointed Bishop by the Pope's
provision, dated October 13th. In 1496 he was Prior
of Huntingdon, in England.

1508. EUGENE O'FLANAGAN, B. D. a Dominican Friar, was
appointed by Pope Julius II. on December 22nd ; and
the Pope recommended him to the King for his confir
mation. [Hib. Domin.]

1523. CORMAC was Bishop in this year. He appears as a
witness to the attestation of a will of Dominic Lynch of
Galway. [See Miscell. Archseol. Soc. vol. i. p. 75.]
We neither know the date of his appointment nor that
of his vacating.

1562-3. OWEN (or EUGENE) O'HAIRT, or O'HARTE, Prior

BISHOPS. 103

of the Dominican Abbey of Sligo, is said to have suc
ceeded to this see, by an appointment from the Pope,
dated January 28th. [Hib. Domin.] Queen Elizabeth
appears to have neglected filling up this see, as well as
some few others, during great part of her reign. In
1563 Eugene assisted at the Council of Trent. In 1585
we find him, as Bishop, a party to an indenture between
the Lord Deputy Sir John Perrott, and the chief free
holders of the county of Sligo. [Hardiman's Appendix
to O'Flaherty's West Connaught, p. 346.] He died in
1603, in the hundredth year of his age, and was buried
in his cathedral of Achonry.

1607-8. MILER MAGRATH, Archbishop of Cashel, whose
long arms reached to dioceses in every part of Ireland,
obtained from King James I. a grant of these two sees,
in commendam, and held them until his death in 1622.

From that period the see of Achonry has continued
to be united to that of Killala ; and its succeeding pre
lates will be found under the latter diocese.

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

The constitution of this body appears to have varied, from
time to time. Anciently, it comprised a Dean, Provost,
Archdeacon, and five Prebendaries, namely, of Killa-
raght, Killoran, Doughorne, Tremoymlagh, and Kilfry.
Several other churches are styled prebendal in the se
venteenth century. At present the recognised prebends
are only three.

104 ACHONRY.

DEANS.

1246. THOMAS (or TOMULTACH) O'CoNOR, Dean of Achonry,
was raised to the bishopric of Elphin in this year. He
was afterwards translated to Tuam, and held that arch
bishopric during twenty years. [Ware.]

1442. MAC MULROONA M<DONAGH, the Dean (most probably
of Achonry), died. [Four Masters.]

1582. OWEN O'CONNOR, who had been educated in the
University of Oxford, and was well skilled in the Irish
language [Pococke MSS.], was presented on August
24th. [Lib. Mun.] In 1591 he was raised to the bi
shopric of Killala, which he held about sixteen years.

1615. WILLIAM FLANAGAN, a creature of Archbishop Miler
Magrath, was Dean. [Reg. Vis.] He was at the same
time Dean of Killala, and a Prebendary of Cashel.

1628-9. WILLIAM BUCHANAN, M.A. Dean of Killala, was
presented to this deanery also, on February 21st. [Rolls
Office.] On February 28th, 166^, he (if it was the
same W. B.) resigned, and became Dean of Tuam.

1661. RANDAL (or RODOLPH) HOLLINGWORTH, was presented
on March 22nd ; instituted April 8th. (FF.) Either
in this month or the following June, he was made Pra?-
centor of Killala.

1662. JAMES VAUGHAN, Treasurer of Leighlin, was insti
tuted on April 9th. (FF.) At or about this same time
he was appointed Prsecentor of Killala. In August of
this year he was elected Warden of Galway ; and, as
such, held the seven vicarages anciently belonging to
the seven vicars of that college. (FF.)

1683. WILLIAM LLOYD, M.A. a native of Wales, became a
Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. His first employ
ment in the church was the chaplaincy of the Guild of

DEANS. 105

St. Nicholas's parish, Dublin ; in which he proved him
self a diligent preacher. [Bp. Dopping.] He was pre
sented to this deanery, and to the Praecentorship of Kil-
lala,on August llth; and was instituted September llth.
(FF.) In 1690 he was advanced to the bishopric of
Killala.

1691. SAMUEL FOLEY, B. D. Chancellor of St. Patrick's,
Dublin, was presented on April 4th ; and at the same
time to the praecentorship of Killala. In 1694 he was
raised to the bishopric of Down and Connor.

DIOCESE OF ELPHIN.

THIS See is said to have been erected by St. Patrick, about
the middle of the fifth century, at a place formerly
called Imleach Ono, but which afterwards obtained the
name of AILFIN, or Elphin. It seems probable that in
process of time, certain smaller bishoprics (they were
" goode chepe" in those days) were annexed to or ab
sorbed in it ; such as Ardcarne, Cashel-Irra, Drumcliffe,
and Roscoman : these are now simple rectories within
the diocese. Some of the old annalists occasionally call
this See " Siol-Muireadach ;" or, " the bishopric of East
Connaught."

The name of the first Bishop has been preserved ;
but very few indeed of his successors can now be traced,
before the invasion of the English in the twelfth century.

Till the year 1760, the Bishops of Elphin were
styled Bishops " by Divine Providence."

ARMS OF THE SEE.

No ancient seal of this bishopric is now known. Harris has
engraved that of Bishop Howard, who was appointed in
1729.

SUCCESSION OF BISHOPS.

A. D. 450 (about). Asicus, a Monk, of austere habits of
life, was appointed by St. Patrick the first Bishop of
the church which he had founded at Elphin. He is said
to have recommended himself to his patron, by his su
perior skill as an artificer in the working of metals. He
died and was buried at Rathcunge, in Tirconnell, but
we are not informed of the year of his decease.

From this time we have a long hiatus, of seven cen
turies, in the series.

118 ELPHIN.

1136-7. DOMNALD O'DuBHTHAi (O'DuFFY), Bishop ofEl-
phin, died there at this time. Ware is of opinion that
he was Bishop of Clonmacnois also.

1168. FLANAGAN O'DUBHTHAI, probably a member of the
same family, died this year at the Abbey of Cong.

1174. MAELISA O'CONACHTAIN appears as Bishop of Elphin.
In 1152 he assisted at the Synod of Kells, as Bishop of
" East Connaught" (quaere, Roscoman ?) The Four
Masters call him Bishop of " Siol Murray." He died in
this year, 1174.

1195. FLORENCE M'RIAGAN (O'MAOLRUANA) O'MULRONY,
a Cistercian Monk, was Bishop. He is said to have
been descended from the Kings of Connaught. He was
likewise Abbat of Boyle. He died in this year.

1214-5. ARDGALL O'CoNOR, of the royal family of Con-
naught, Bishop of Elphin, died.

1224. DENIS O'MuLKYRAN, called "Bishop ofArdcarne,"
died. Harris has inserted him in the series, because at
that time Ardcarne was united to Elphin. Dr. Lanigan,
following the Four Masters, affirms that he was not Bi
shop, but Archdeacon, of Ardcarne. [Eccl. Hist. vol. iv.
p. 346.]

12 — . ALAN, " Archdeacon of Mayo," became Bishop. We
know no more concerning him.

1229. DENIS O'MORDA (or O'MOORE) is found resigning
the bishopric of Elphin in this year. He died two
years afterwards (on December 15th, 1231), on Trinity
Island, in Lough Kee, where he had founded a hospi
tal (hospitium) with the aid of Clarus M'Mullan, Arch
deacon of Elphin, and the Canons thereof. [Annals of
Boyle.]

1232. DONAT O'CONNOR held this bishopric about twelve
years. He died on April 23rd, 1244, and was buried in
the Abbey of Boyle. [Four Masters.]

BISHOPS. 119

1245. JOHN O'HuGRAiN, Archdeacon of Elphin, was elected
Bishop by the Dean and Chapter, pursuant to a license
directed to them by King Henry III. on June 12th,
1244. It appears that the Pope had likewise given the
bishopric to the same person; but the Archbishop of
Tuam, his metropolitan, refused to admit or consecrate
him until he should have the King's assent. He vacated
his see within a year, dying at the Monastery of Rath-
Hugh, in the county of Westmeath. [Four Masters.]

1246. CORNELIUS RUFUS (CONNOR ROE), " son of the Comor-
banofMolua" (Bishop of Killaloe?) is said to have
succeeded in this year, and to have died shortly after
wards.

1246. THOMAS (or TOMULTACH) O'CONNOR, Dean of
Achonry, was elected Bishop, but without the King's
license ; this offence was afterwards forgiven, upon his
humble petition. After sitting here thirteen years, he
was translated to the archbishopric of Tuam in 1259.

1260. MILO, or MALACHI MAC THADY O'CONNOR, Archdea
con of Clonmacnois, having been elected by a majority
of the Chapter, was consecrated at Dundalk, by the
Archbishop of Armagh. But the Dean and others of the
Chapter declared the election informal, and presented
Thomas Macdermott to the King, as the person duly
elected. The Archbishop of Tuam added his confirma
tion to this statement. The King, upon this represen
tation, accepted Thomas, and directed the Archbishop
of Tuam to consecrate him ; which was done, and after
Thomas had appealed to the Pope and had been ac
knowledged as rightful Bishop, the King ordered his
temporalities to be restored to him. Milo still held pos
session ; but it is probable that he would have been ex
truded. However, his death occurred at this conjunc
ture, and put an end to the dispute.

120 ELPHIN.

1262. THOMAS MAC FEBRALL M'DERMOTT, the person
named above, Abbat of Boyle, came into peaceable pos
session of the see upon Milo's death. He went through
the form of a second election. It appears that his re
venues were seized and detained by Hugh O'Connor,
styled King of Connaught, and others ; and that so much
interest was taken in the matter that both the King of
France and the Queen of Castile wrote letters to King
Henry III. interceding for his protection of the Bishop.
He sat only three years, dying in 1265.

1266. MAURICE M'NEAL O'CONNOR, a Dominican Friar,
was elected by the Chapter, and was confirmed by the
King, on April 23rd. He governed the see eighteen
years, and died in 1284.

1284. AMHLAVE O'TOMULTY (O'CoNNOR), having been
elected by the Chapter, was consecrated as successor of
Maurice ; but he died very soon afterwards, having never
been confirmed in his new dignity. [Four Masters.]

1285-6. GELASIUS (or GELISA) MAC INLIANAIG O'CONNOR
(who is called LISACH O'CONNOR in some of the annals)
became Bishop. He was Abbat of the Premonstraten-
sian Monastery of Lough Kee. His confirmation in the
see took place on October 5th, 1285 ; and he had his
temporalities restored in the following March. He sat
about eleven years, and died in 1296.

1296. MALACHI M'BRIEN M'DERMOTT, Abbat of Boyle,
was elected, and received confirmation from the King.
It seems that he met with some obstruction and delay in
the recovery of his temporalities. He died at Rome,
about the end of the year 1302, or the beginning of
1303. The Four Masters state that another person was
elected Bishop at the same time, namely, Marianus O'Do-
nabhair, a Dominican Friar; and that both of them
went to Rome, to prosecute their claims.

BISHOPS. 121

1303. DONAT O'FLANAGAN succeeded Malachi, first as Abbat
of Boyle, and afterwards as Bishop. His temporalities
were given up to him on September 10th. He was a
person in great reputation for wisdom. He died on the
22nd of May, or June, 1307, or 1308.

1308. CHARLES M'!NLIANAIG O'CONNOR, Abbat of Lough
Kee, was elected by one portion of the Chapter, and was
consecrated to the see, at Armagh. But the Archbishop
of Tuam espoused the cause of a rival candidate, and by
the influence of the Pope succeeded in ousting O'Con
nor, who returned to his abbey and continued to govern
it for more than thirty years.

1310. MALACHI MAC J^DA, or MAC HUGH, one of the Ca
nons, having been elected by a part of the Chapter, and
being supported by his metropolitan, obtained the Pope's
provision to this bishopric, and was afterwards accepted
and confirmed by the King, on December 7th. In 1312,
or 1313, he was translated to the archbishopric of Tuam.

1312-13. LAURENCE O'LAGHTNAN, Abbat of Boyle and a
Canon of Elphin, succeeded by the Pope's provision,
dated January 20th, and was consecrated in that year.
He was for some time Official, or Vicar-General, of.
Tuam ; and possibly he may be the same who was a Ca
non of Kilmacduagh in 1306. He died in 1325.

1326. JOHN O'FINASA, or O'FEENAGHTY (called in his pa
tent JOHN DE ROSCOMAN), a Canon of Elphin, was elected
by the Dean and Chapter ; and having been accepted by
the King, was consecrated by the Archbishop of Tuam.
He received his temporalities from the King on the first
of the following March. He died in 1354, and was
buried in his cathedral.

1356-7. GREGORY, Provost of Killala, was appointed by the
Pope's provision, dated February 27th. He had been
consecrated previously for the bishopric of Down, which

the Pope bestowed on him upon a report that the then
Bishop of Down had died. But this report proving to
be incorrect, the Pope made him amends by presenting
him to the see of Elphin. After sitting here sixteen
years, he was translated to Tuam in 1372.

1372. THOMAS BARRETT, Archdeacon ofEnachdune, was
consecrated to this see. He appears to have been a per
son of high reputation. After governing the diocese
thirty-two years, he died at Deny in 1404. Some say
that he was buried there ; but the Four Masters assert
that he was interred at Arradh of Lough Con (i. e. Er-
rew, in the parish of Crosmolina, county of Mayo).

1405. JOHN O'GRADA succeeded. We know little about
him; except that he died in the year 1417.

[1410-4. THOMAS COLBY, D.D. a Carmelite Friar of Nor
wich, is believed to have been Bishop of this see, but we
do not know the time or other particulars of his coming
in. Pope John XXII. who sat from 1410 to 1414,
calls him Bishop of Elphin, and gives him a provision
for his translation to the see of Waterford. That claim
of his, however, was successfully resisted by John Geese,
the Bishop of Waterford in possession ; and King Henry
VI. in 1422 set the question at rest, by confirming
Geese. Qusere, might Colby have been coadjutor Bishop
to Thomas Barrett, in the latter years of his life ?]

1417-8. ROBERT FOSTEN, D. D. a Franciscan Friar, suc
ceeded by the Pope's provision, on February 15th [or
April 19th. King.] We have no further information
concerning him ; and it is not known whether he ever
visited his see.

[1423. "THOMAS COLLEY (i.e. COLBY), Bishop of Elphin,
died in this year." [Rot. Pat. 20 Hen. VI.] See above.]

14 — . WILLIAM O'ETIGAN, or O'HETIGAN, was Bishop.
We are not told at what time he was appointed. But it

is said that in 1444 he went to Rome, with several
others of the clergy of Connaught, and that most of
them died there. [Four Masters.]

1450. CORNELIUS appears as Bishop. We hear of him again
in 1453 ; but cannot trace his appointment, nor his va
cating.

145- ? JOHN was Bishop after Cornelius; as appears by the
Papal bull appointing his successor Nicholas. [Hib.
Domin.]

1458. NICHOLAS O'FLANAGAN, a Dominican Friar, was ap
pointed by the Pope, on June 7th of this year, and filled
the see for a very long time. After sitting here thirty-
six years, feeling the approach of blindness and other
infirmities of age, he offered to resign his bishopric in
the year 1494, and recommended George Brann, Bishop
of Dromore, for his successor. It appears, however, that
Brann was not appointed until the year 1499 ; and
Ware believed that the see was governed in the mean
time by one Cornelius ; and after his death, by Richard
Mac Brien, a Dominican Friar.

1468 (Qucere, 1498?) « CONOR O'MELAGHLIN, Bishop of
Elphin, died." [Four Masters.] Probably this is the Cor
nelius above mentioned, and the year ought to be 1498.

1499. GEORGE BRANN, Bishop of Dromore, who was by
birth an Athenian, was translated to Elphin, by a bull
dated April 18th. He resigned his see in about six or
seven years, but he lived until 1530; under which year
the Four Masters state that " the Greek Bishop of Elphin
died."

1506. CHRISTOPHER FISHER, an Englishman, educated at
Oxford, was made Bishop about this time, and soon af
terwards was appointed to a prebend in York. [An
tony a Wood.] He was King Henry VIII.'s agent at
Rome ; and brought to that King a consecrated golden

rose from the Pope in 1510. In 1505, being then at
Paris, he entertained Erasmus at his house, and was a
singular friend to Dean Colet. [Knight's Life of Eras
mus.] He died in 1511.

15 1-. THOMAS WALSH, who succeeded Fisher in his pre
bend at York, is named by Erasmus as having likewise
been his successor in the see of Elphin, and being in
possession of it in 1521. [Todd.]

15 — . JOHN MAX, a Premonstratensian monk, Abbat of
Welbeck, and a Prebendary of York, is said to have been
Bishop of Elphin, and to have died in 1536. He also
held the abbey of Tichfield, in Hampshire, in commen-
dam. [Cole.]

1544. CONAT O'SniEL or O'SIAGHAL, Abbat of Assadara
(Bally sadare), and chaplain to O'Donnell, the chief of
O'Reilly's country, was appointed by Henry VIII. on
March 23rd. [Rot. Pat.] The King had directed his
conge d'elire in the usual form to the Dean and Chapter ;
but upon their refusal to elect Conat, he appointed him
by his own authority. [Todd.] We do not know how
long he sat.

15 — . BERNARD O'HiGGiN, a Dominican Friar, succeeded,
by the Pope's provision. He was alive in 1552 ; but
probably died in that year.

1552. ROLAND DE BURGO, Bishop of Clonfert, obtained from
King Edward VI. the administration of this bishopric, in
union with his own, during life. The grant bears date
April 10th. He died at a very advanced age, in June
1580.

1580. THOMAS CHESTER, an Englishman (son of Sir Wil
liam Chester, Knight, Sheriff, and afterwards Lord
Mayor, of London, in which city his son was born), suc
ceeded. He died at Killiathan (Killane, in the County
Gal way?), in June 1584. [See MS. Pedigree of theChes-

by an elder brother of this Prelate.]

1584. JOHN FITZJAMES LYNCH, B. A. a native of Galway,
who was educated at New Inn Hall, Oxford, succeeded
by patent dated November 4th. He is charged with
having greatly wasted the property of his see by fee-farm
grants, &c., and is said to have been a Protestant only in
name. He resigned his bishopric on August 19th, 1611.
He was buried in St. Nicholas' Church, at Galway.

1611. EDWARD KING, B. D. an Englishman (probably the
same who was made Dean of Elphin in 1603), received
his education in the University of Oxford, but appears
afterwards to have become a Fellow of Trinity College,
Dublin. He was presented to this bishopric on No
vember 15th, and was consecrated in the following

O

month. He worthily undertook to repair the cathedral
of Elphin ; to build a solid residence for himself and his
successors ; and to recover some of the property which
his predecessor had alienated from the see. Having in
some degree effected this, he voluntarily resigned to his
clergy the quarta pars episcopalis, which they had long
been accustomed to pay. He governed the diocese with
great reputation twenty-seven years and three months ;
and dying on March 8th, 1638-9, aged 63, was buried
in his cathedral.

His tombstone, now set up against the interior wall
of the vestry, is thus inscribed :

" Here lyeth the body of EDWARD KING, Doctor in Divinity, conse
crated bishop of Elphin, anno Dni 1610, and continued Bp. in that See until
the eighth of March 1638, on which day and yeare he dyed at the age of
63. This bishop much augmented the revenue of that See, was a constant
Preacher of God's Word, and a man of great sanctity of life."

1639. HENRY TILSON, D.D. Dean of Christ Church, Dublin,
was born at Halifax, in Yorkshire, in the year 1576.

126 ELPH1N.

He came to Ireland as Chaplain to the Earl of Strafford ;
who speaks of him as " a most worthy, honest, and religious
person," [Nalson's Collections] , and took several oppor
tunities of advancing him in the Church. His Letter of
Privy Seal was dated August 7th, and he was conse
crated in Christ Church on September 23rd. In the
troubles which followed the rebellion of 1641, his library
and other property were plundered(a), and he retired to
England, " and settled at Southill, in the parish of Dews-
bury, in Yorkshire. Being much straitened in circum
stances, he employed himself in clerical duties, being
allowed a salary by Sir Thomas Wentworth for preach
ing at Comberworth." He died on March 31st, 1655,
and was buried in the Southill chapel of Dewsbury
church, where a monument is erected to him, bearing
this inscription :

1660-1. JOHN PARKER, B. D. was a native of Dublin, and
in 1642 was a minor Canon of St. Patrick's Cathedral,
and Chaplain to the Marquess of Ormond, Lord Lieute
nant. In 1643 he succeeded his father as a Prebendary
of Christ Church, and also of St. Patrick's. In 1642
he was made Dean of Killaloe. In 1649 he was stripped
of his preferments, and thrown into prison, by Cromwell's
party, on suspicion of being a spy of the Marquess of
Ormond, and upon his release followed that nobleman
to England. At the Restoration he returned to Ireland ;
and was presented to this see by patent dated January
19th; and was consecrated, with the other Prelates,
in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, on January 27th.
He immediately began to repair his cathedral church
and his own palace, which had been utterly neglected
during the usurpation of Cromwell. In 1667 he was
advanced to the archbishopric of Tuam. Bishop Parker
printed a Sermon on 2 Samuel, xix. 14, preached before
the houses of Parliament, 4to. Dublin, 1663.
1667. JOHN HODSON, D. D. a native of England, became
Dean of Clogher in 1661, and was raised to this see by
patent dated August 10th. He was consecrated in
St. Nicholas' Church, at Galway, on September 8th, by
the Archbishop of Tuam, assisted by the Bishops of
Killala and Clonfert ; and was enthroned at Elphin on
September 12th. [D. Reg.] He proved himself a warm
benefactor to Elphin and to his see ; for, by an inden
ture dated 1685, he vested certain lands in the county
of Cavan, in trustees, to be holden for ever at a pepper-
commonly believed that St. Patrick had left the print of his knee. The rebels, in
1641, wantonly destroyed this font ; and when afterwards they attacked the Bi
shop's castle, and were repulsed with loss, they attributed their failure in the
bloody enterprise solely to the crime which they had committed against the Vir
gin Mary, in breaking that stone ! [MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl. F. 3. 2.]

corn rent ; the one moiety of the rents to be employed in
maintaining a grammar-school in Elphin for the benefit
of the inhabitants, and especially for teaching the chil
dren of the poor gratuitously ; the schoolmaster to be ap
proved by the Bishop. The other moiety was destined
for restoring and adorning the cathedral of Elphin, in
such manner as the Bishop and the Dean and Chapter
shall think fit ; and lastly, he directed that the oversight
of the trusts should vest in the Bishop and the Dean and
Chapter. At the present time each moiety amounts to
twenty pounds per annum.

Bishop Hodson died on February 18th, 1685-6, and
was buried in his cathedral. A tombstone, which for
merly lay in the nave of the church, but which, with
others, was removed not long ago to the wall of the
vestry, for better preservation, bears the following in
scription to his memory :

An Act of Parliament, in 1834, directed that this see
should be annexed to that of Kilmore upon the next
avoidance; and upon^the Bishop of Kilmore's death, in
1841, Bishop Leslie became Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin,

MINOR SEES.

This place, which is now a mere village, in the county of Sligo,
was formerly a considerable town, and a Bishop's see.
The see was afterwards united either to that of Roscom-

mon or Elpliin. St. Columba founded an abbey here in
the year 590 ; and it is probable that some of the Abbats
were also Bishops of DrumclifTe. None of their names,
however, as holders of that dignity, have come down

to us.

ARCHDEACONS.

The following Archdeacons of this small diocese are men
tioned in Archdall's Monasticon Hibernicum.

950. FLANN O'BECAIN, Arch deacon of DrumclifTe, a learned
and celebrated scribe, died.

1029. AENGUS O'HOENGUSA, Archdeacon, perished by an
accidental fire, in a neighbouring island, called Inis-
lanne.

1053. MURCHADH O'BEOLLAIN, Archdeacon, died.

1225. AMLAVE O'BEOLLAIN, Archdeacon, died; a man of
extraordinary erudition, and in general esteem for piety,
wisdom, and unbounded hospitality.

2. ARDCARNE.

This place, which is situate in the county of Roscommon,
was anciently a Bishop's see ; but became united either
to that of Roscommon or Elphin, at some period now
unknown. We cannot trace any of its Prelates, except
that Archdall cites, from the Four Masters,

523. "BEAIDH, Bishop of Ardcarne, died in this year."

Ardcarne is now attached to the archdeaconry of Elphin.

132 MINOR SEES.

3. CASHEL-IRRA.

This small village, near Sligo, is said to have been formerly
a Bishop's see. Its first Bishop was St. Bron, a disci
ple of St. Patrick, who died in the year 509, or 511, or
512. St. Biteus, son of Asicus, another of St. Patrick's
disciples, was also Bishop here. See Harris's Ware, p. 464,
and Archdall's Monasticon, p. 629. No others of its
Prelates are known.

4. ROSCOMMON.

The sees of Roscommon and Elphin were united shortly
before the arrival of the English in Ireland, in the twelfth
century. We cannot now trace the succession of Bishops
of Roscommon. Archdall mentions that one of the
Abbats of the monastery founded here in the sixth cen
tury was also Bishop. He states that " the Abbot Siedal,
Siadhail, or Sedulius, who was also called Bishop of
Roscommon, died in the year 813 or 816."

5. TIGHBOHIN.

Archdall, from Colgan, relates that this (now a prebendal
church) was once a Bishop's see, and contained a cele
brated school. A. D. 640, St. Baithen was Bishop. We
know none of his successors.

DEANS. 133

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

Harris remarks, that in some old Visitation Books he found
the Chapter of Elphin described as consisting of a Dean,
Archdeacon, Provost, and twelve Prebendaries. At
present there is no Provost, but a Praecentor in his place ;
and the twelve prebends are reduced to eight. I have
not ascertained at what period this change of the con
stitution took place. In a paper which remains on re
cord in the diocesan registry, entitled " The Answer of
the Dean and Chapter of Elphin to the Inquiries of his
Grace Richard, Archbishop of Tuam," dated 1638, it is
stated: " There are a Dean, Chantor, Archdeacon, and
eight Prebendaries ; and we have heard that there are
four more belonging to the said church, viz. : Kilbegnat,
Clontonogher, Drumcliffe, and Killuckin. We have no
Vicars Choral(a), Choiristers, nor Organist, nor means to
maintain them. The body of the cathedral is used as
a parochial church," &c. &c.

The earliest period at which I have found mention
of the Dean and Chapter is in the beginning of the thir
teenth century, under the incumbency of Bishop Alan.
The present Chapter Seal is quite a modern one.

(a) Yet it would seem that at some former period there had been Vicars Cho
ral ; for the Annals of Dudley Firbisse record the death of Mairgeas O 'Flanagan,
chief of the choir, in 1461 ; and also of Gilchrist M'Edigan, Vicar of St. Patrick's,
and one of the choir, in 1463.

a Minor Canon of St. Patrick's, Dublin ; and, while
there, distinguished himselfj by his firm adherence
to the Book of Common Prayer, in opposition to the

counts of the Chapter. Perhaps the following sentence
in the Annals of Dudley Firbisse may prove that there
was a Prsecentor at that time. If not, O'Flanagan must
have been a Vicar Choral.

St. Kill, and Chief of the Quire in Elphin, quievit."

PREBENDARIES.

I do not find at what period distinct prebends were first as
signed to the Canons. It appears, as stated before at
p. 133, that anciently the prebends were twelve in num
ber. Probably some of them may have been afterwards
united to the several dignities, as we know that Kil-
lukin was attached to the archdeaconry ; while the rest
have fallen into lay hands, and have become entirely
lost to the Church.

ber 1729) was collated June 25th. (FF.) In 1759 the

forty-two years, he resigned it in 1809.

1809. OLIVER GARY, Jun. B. A. Archdeacon of this diocese,
exchanged his dignity for this prebend. He was col

ELECTED.

1847. JOHN MULOCK MAGUIRE, Vicar of Boyle, was elected
by the Chapter on February 1st, and was installed the
same day. [Chapt. Book.]

6. TIGHBOHINE (or TAGHBOYNE) alias ARTAGH (from the
townland in which it is situate).

1615. " MAURICE GRIFFITH, Armiger(a), Prsebendarius El-
phin," is named in Mason's Parochial Survey of Killu-
kin parish, vol. ii. Quaere, if it was this prebend which
he held ? He was a layman.

1628. GILBERT SEABROOK, M. A. of Broadway Hall, Ox
ford, who had been ordained Deacon and Priest, on De
cember 19th, 1619, was presented by the Crown, on
August 15th. [Lib. Mun.] He was installed on Au
gust 29th, or September 4th. [Prerog. Office.] He was
Chaplain to the Lord Chancellor. The Royal Vi
sitors call him " a good Divine and a good Preacher."
N. B. There appears to be some confusion here, between
this prebend and that of Artagh, in the diocese of Kil-
lala. See above, p. 90.

1661. ROBERT BROWNE is named as one of the Prebendaries,
in a book remaining in the Diocesan Registry ; but his
stall is not mentioned. Probably it was either this, or
Kilmacallan, cr perhaps Drumcliffe. A Robert Browne
was Archdeacon of Killala in this year. In 1664 Browne
appears to have become a Prebendary of Raphoe.

Praecentor of Lismore, in the volume containing the Province of Munster.

[D. Reg.]

ANCIENT PREBENDS. 157

DRUMCLIFFE.

It has been stated above, p. 116, that in ancient times Drum-
cliffe was a Bishop's see. In 1615 it was called a pre
bend, and was said to have been taken possession of by
the Earl of Clanricard.

1622. WILLIAM ROYCROFT, or RYCROFT, Prebendary of
Tirbrien, was presented by the Crown, by lapse, to this
prebend, on June 6th. [Lib. Mun.]

1661. ROBERT BROWNE, M. A. is called Prebendary. [Dioc.

Reg.] See above, p. 152.
1669. The Bishop reports to the Barons of the Exchequer,

that there is no such prebend. [Ibid.]

KILBEGNETT.

This former prebend was, in 1615, in the hands of a layman ;
and again in 1633. The rectory still continues so. The
church is no longer prebendal.

1623. ROBERT MAWE was presented by the Crown to this
prebend, and to that of Baslick, on July 1st. [Lib. Mun.]

1633. RICHARD THORPE was presented by the Crown, on

December 9th. [Rolls Office.]
1669. The Bishop reports to the Exchequer, that there is

no such prebend.

KILLUCKIN.

In 1615 this prebend was stated to be in lay hands. In
1633 it was attached to the archdeaconry.

1635. WILLIAM NEWPORT was presented by the Crown, on
December 4th. [Rolls Office.]

1669. The Bishop reports that Killuckin is the prebend of
the Archdeacon ; and such it continues at this day.

158 CLONFERT.

DIOCESE OF CLONFERT.

This bishopric is believed to have been founded in the
sixth century, by St. Brendan (not St. Brendan of Birr,
but a contemporary and fellow-student). He erected
the Abbey of Clonfert in the year 558 ; conferred on it
the episcopal dignity, and either himself became its first
Bishop, or, as others say, placed Mo-ena, one of his dis
ciples, in that post. As several of the later prelates are
styled " successors of Brendan," and not " successors of
Mo-ena," perhaps the former account is the correct one.
The list of early Bishops is sadly imperfect. Indeed the
ancient diocesan records have been long lost. Peter
White, on being appointed Registrar in the year 1717,
entered a notice in writing, that " he found no records,
nor anything else, in the Registry."

ARMS OF THE SEE.

The Seal of Bishop Whitcornbe, dated 1735, has been en
graved in Harris's Ware. The Royal Irish Academy
possesses the original seal of Bishop Young, 1799; also
a very ancient Seal of a Bishop Charles, of whom we
have no account, inscribed

S. CARULI CLONFERTENSIS EPI.

The consistorial seal at present in use is an ancient one.

SUCCESSION OF BISHOPS.

A. D. 558. ST. BRENDAN (of whom see above) founded an
abbey at Clonfert, near the river Shannon, and for some
time governed it. Afterwards he procured episcopal rank
for it, and is believed to have been its first Bishop, but
to have resigned that office some years before his death,
which took place at Enachdune, on May 16th, A. D.
577, when he was ninety-three years of age. He was
buried at Clonfert. Brendan is said to have composed
the following works :

1. Confessio Christiana.

2. Charta Coelestis Hereditatis.

3. Regula Monachorum.

4. De Fortunatis Insulis.

5. Revelationes de futuris Temporibus.

6. Epistolae ad Populares.

7. S. BrigittEe Virtutes et Miracula.

571. MOENA, or MOYNEAN, who was appointed Bishop by

BISHOPS. 161

the founder, St. Brendan, died on March 1st, in 571 or
572, while his patron was yet alive. The Annals of
Ulster call him " Bishop of Clonfert-Brenain."

GOO (circa}. FINTAN, who, from his love of music, obtained
the surname of CORACH, is said to have been Abbat and
Bishop of Clonfert. Nothing certain appears to be known
of him ; but tradition asserted that he lived to the ex
traordinary age of 1 35 years.

620. ST. SENACH GARBH succeeded Fintan ; but whether as
Abbat or Bishop, does not clearly appear. He died in
620.

620. ST. COLMAN, the son of Congal, is believed to have suc
ceeded Senach in the abbacy ; perhaps in the bishopric
also. He is stated to have died in the same year as his
predecessor.

6 — . COMIN, surnamed Foda, a man of the noble family
of the Hy Fiachrach, was appointed Bishop by the
King of Connaught. He governed his diocese with
much wisdom. His death took place on November
12th, 662. A hymn, supposed to be of his composition,
is mentioned by Ware.

825. RUTMEL, who is styled " Prince and Bishop of Clon
fert," died.

861. CATHAL M'CoRMAC, " Bishop of Clonfert Brendain,''
died.

921. CORMAC M'^EDAIN died.

951. CIARAN O'GABHLA died. [Four Masters.]

1166. GILLA MAC AIBLIN O'HANNICADA died. He is called
" Comorban of Brendan ;" and it seems uncertain whether
he was Bishop of Clonfert or ofArdfert, in Kerry, where
St. Brendan was regarded as chief patron.

1170 (?). CEALACHAN O'DARMODY is said to have been
Bishop. [Ma Geoghegan.]

1171. PETER O'MORDHAI, or O'MoRE, a Cistercian Monk,

CONNAUGHT.] Y

162 CLONFERT.

the first Abbat of Boyle, became Bishop of Clonfert.

He is styled " Bishop of Omaine" (the district in which

Clonfert is situate). He was a Prelate greatly esteemed ;

" a divine and learned monk." He was unhappily

drowned in the River Shannon, near Portnacarrig, on

December 27, 1171.
1171. MAEL ISA M'AwARD succeeded. He sat a very short

time, dying in 1173.
1173 (?). MAEL CALLAN M'ADAM O'CLERICEN. He died in

1186.

1187. MlJIRCHEARTAGH O'MAOILTJIDHER, Bishop of Clon-

fert and Clonmacnois, died. [Four Masters.]
1195. DONALD O'FiNN, " Comorban of Clonfert Brendan,"

Abbat or Bishop, died.

1202. MUIRCHEARTACH O'CoRMACAiN died. [Four Mas
ters.] Ware states, that the Annals of Innisfallen assert
that a Bishop of this name died at Clonfert in 1205, but
that his see is not named.

1248. THOMAS, Bishop of Clonfert, died ; and on May 27th,
1249, King Henry III. issued his license for the elec
tion of a successor.

1249. CORMAC or CHARLES O'LUMHAIN was a person in
high esteem for probity and learning. He is believed
to have been elected successor to Thomas. The Four
Masters style him " a venerable divine, the chief sage of
Ireland." He died at a great age, in 1259. Perhaps
the ancient seal mentioned above, p. 158, belonged to this
Prelate.

1259. THOMAS O'KELLY, a man of noble family, son and
brother of successive chieftains of Hy Many [O'Donovan]
succeeded. He died on the Sunday after Epiphany,
1263-4, and was buried in the Dominican Convent of
Athenry.

1266. JOHN, an Italian, the Pope's Nuncio, was appointed
by Papal authority, after a vacancy of three years. He

BISHOPS. 163

was consecrated at Athenry,on the Sunday before Christ
mas in that year. He proved to be a great benefactor to
his church, and is believed to have erected the statues
and other carvings which decorate the western end of the
cathedral. After governing this diocese thirty years,
the Pope promoted him to the archbishopric of Bene-
vento, in Italy.

1296. ROBERT, a Monk of Christ Church, Canterbury, was
appointed Bishop by the Pope, and was confirmed by
the King. He sat here eleven years, and died in 1307.

1308. GREGORY O'BROGY, Dean of this cathedral, was
elected Bishop by the Chapter, pursuant to the Royal
license, on April 23rd. He, like his predecessor, go
verned the diocese eleven years. He died in 1319.

1319. ROBERT LE PETIT, a Franciscan Friar, was elected
by the Chapter, on February 10th ; and that election
was confirmed by the King, on February 24th. In 1321
he was deprived of his see, for some cause now unknown ;
and in 1325 was created Bishop of Enaghdune by the
Pope. In that same year we find him acting as " official"
to the Bishop of Exeter. [Cole.]

1322. JOHN O'LEAN (or ILEYAN), Archdeacon of Tuam, was
appointed by the Pope, and received the King's confir
mation towards the close of this year. He governed the
see thirteen years, and died on April 7th, 1336. Upon
his death, the King placed the temporalities under cus-
todiam, and no Bishop was appointed for ten years.

1347. THOMAS O'KELLY, a Secular Priest, is found in pos
session of the see on October 14th of this year. We do
not know the exact time of his appointment. It seems
probable that he died in 1377.

1378. MAURICE O'KELLY, another Secular Priest, was con
secrated to this see in 1378. He appears to have sided
with Gregory, one of the rival Archbishops of Tuam,

164 CLONFERT.

and to have joined him in annoying his competitor and
successor, William. In 1394 the Pope translated Mau
rice to Tuam, having forced William to resign his
archbishopric. At the same time he offered Clonfert to
William ; but that prelate declined the offer, and soon
afterwards died of a broken heart from his ill usao-c.

<3

[1398. WILLIAM O'CORMACAIN, the ejected Archbishop of
Tuam, received a grant of this bishopric from the Pope ;
but he declined to take out the bulls for his appoint
ment. See above.]

1398. DAVID CORRE, a Franciscan Friar, was appointed
Bishop by the Pope, on March 20th. We do not know
how long he sat.

1407. THOMAS O'KELLY is found in the see at this year,
and in 1415 and 1435. In Trinity College, Dublin
[MS. F. 1. 1 8.], is a "Redditus Episcopalium Clonfer-
tens. temporibus Tho. I'Kelly Ep.1 Clonf.8 1407." In
1438 he was translated to the archbishopric of Tuam.

1438. JOHN O'HEYN, a Franciscan Friar, Provincial of
his Order in Ireland, was appointed Bishop by the Pope,
on July 19th. He sat about four years.

1442( ?) THOMAS DE BURGO succeeded. He died in 1446,
and was buried in the Dominican Convent of Athenry.

1446-7. JOHN WITH, a Franciscan Friar, formerly Provin
cial of his Order, was elected Bishop ; but either he de
clined the dignity, or else he resigned it almost imme
diately afterwards.

1447. CORNELIUSO'MULLEDY,O'MAOLALLA, Or O'MlJLLALLY,

another Franciscan, was appointed by the Pope, on
May 22nd. But he sat here a very short time, being
translated to the see of Emly in the following year.

1448. CORNELIUS O'CuNLis, Bishop of Emly, was directed
by the Pope to exchange sees with O'Mulledy. His
provision to Clonfert is dated September 29th. He was

BISHOPS. [165

alive, at Rome, in 1469 ; and is believed to have re
signed his bishopric before that year.
1482. MATTHEW M<CRAITH, a civilian, educated at Oxford,
appears as Bishop in this year. He is said to have been
a person greatly esteemed. He died in a Franciscan
convent, at Killought in Galway, in 1507, and was
buried at Kilcomain.

1508. DAVID DE BURGO, a Secular Priest, succeeded by the
Pope's provision, on July 5th. He died in the follow
ing year.

1509. DENIS O'MoRE, B. D. a Dominican Friar, was ap
pointed Bishop by the Pope, on November 7th. He
died in the year 1534. [Hib. Domin.]

1536. RICHARD NANGLE (DE ANGULO), D. D. who was Pro
vincial of the Augustinian Hermits in Ireland, was pro
moted by King Henry VIII. and consecrated in this
year. The Pope had previously appointed another
person ; and Nangle made way for him, either by death
or resignation, in or before 1541 (a).

1541. ROLAND DE BURGO, Dean of Clonfert, had been ap
pointed to the bishopric by Pope Paul VII. in 1534 ;
but we do not know that he took possession at that
time; and as the King's ecclesiastical supremacy was

(«) On this subject there is a curious letter in the Lambeth Library, from R.
Couley to Thomas Cromwell, the Vicar-General in spirituals of King Henry VIII.
He says :

" The Papysticall sect is springing up and increasing ; whereas the King-
proposes one Doctor Nangle to the bishopric of Clonfert, one Rowland Burk
purchased bulls from Rome, whereby he repulsed the King's presentee. * * *
Religious men (monks) now go immediately to Rome, and obtain what they want ;
so that there are now five Bishops put in by the Pope." [Cod. DC 11.]

Mr. Nangle had been recommended to the King by Archbishop Brown, who
reported him to be not only " well learned, but also a right honest man, and one
who will set forth the word of God in the Irish tongue." [State Papers, III.
p. 123.]

166 CLONFERT.

acknowledged in Ireland in 1536, Henry nominated
Richard Nangle, as mentioned above, p. 165. After
wards, in 1541, Nangle being probably dead, Roland
obtained the King's assent in due form on September
23rd, and a patent for his consecration was directed to
the Archbishop of Armagh. [Cod. Clarendon, 36.] The
King, by a grant dated October 24th, 1541, permitted
him to hold his deanery and other benefices in commen-
dam [Rot. Pat. 33 Hen. VIII.] ; and, in 1542, largely
augmented the revenue of the bishopric, by annexing
to it the lands, &c. of the dissolved Abbey of Clonfert.
In April 1552, this prelate obtained a grant of the
bishopric of Elphin ; and continued to hold both sees
till his death, at a very advanced age, in June 1580.
1582. STEPHEN (KEROVAN) KIRWAN, had been Archdeacon
of Enachdune, and in 1573 was raised to the bishopric
of Kilmacduagh ; he was translated to Clonfert, by pa
tent dated May 24th, 1582. He is believed to have
died in 1601.

CLONFERT AND KILMACDUAGH.

1601. ROLAND LYNCH, Bishop of Kilmacduagh, obtained a
grant of this see in commendam> on October 20th, 1601 ;
he states that he entered upon his bishopric on Fe
bruary 14th, 1601-2. [MS. Todd.] From this period
these two sees have continued in union. There is great
reason to believe that he sadly impaired the revenues of
both of them, by granting improper leases. He died at
Loughrea, in December 1625.

1627. ROBERT DAWSON, D. D. an Englishman, Dean of
Down, and a Prebendary of Lismore, succeeded to the
sees of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh, by a patent dated
April 29th, which declared the union to be for his
life only. He was permitted to hold the prebend of

Tipper, in St. Patrick's, Dublin, in commendam, toge
ther with any other benefice (except the deanery of
Clonfert, or of Kilmacduagh) not exceeding the value
of £30 sterling in the King's books, provided that not
more than two of them have cure of souls.

He also received a grant, to him and his succes
sors for ever, of the dissolved Abbey of Clonfert [" De
Portu puro"] in frank almoigne, with all lands and
appurtenances thereto belonging, with a clause of union
to the said bishopric. [Lib. Mun.] This abbey had
formerly been given to the see by King Henry VIII.
(see above) ; but was afterwards aliened ; then recovered
and resumed by the Crown : it was finally restored to
the see, by the care and exertions of the Earl of Straf-
ford, by a writ of Privy Seal dated September 24th,
1634. [Stratford's Letters, vol. i. pp. 172, 301, 392.]

The Bishop was consecrated on May 4th, in the
Chapel of Dublin Castle, by the Archbishop of Dublin,
assisted by the Bishops of Ossory and Ferns. He rebuilt
the see house of Clonfert.

Having been much ill-used during the rebellion of
1641, he retired with some difficulty to England, and
died at his father's house in Kendal, in Westmoreland,
on April 13th, 1643. He was buried in the parish
church ; where, on a brass plate, affixed to a stone lying
within the communion-rails, is the following inscription :

" Hie jacet Reverendus in Christo Pater ROBERTUS DAWSON, Epis-
copus Clonfertensis et Duacensis Hibernicus. Qui obiit die 13 Aprilis, 1643."

[See a brief memoir of the Bishop, in a work entitled
" Annals of Kendal."]

1644. WILLIAM BAYLY, D. D. a native of Scotland, educated
at Glasgow (but D. D. of Oxford), having been driven

out of his country by the Covenanters, fled into Ireland,
and afterwards joined King Charles at Oxford. He was
promoted to these sees by patent dated March 23rd ;
and was consecrated at Oxford, by Archbishop Ussher,
assisted by the Bishops of Killala and Down, on May
2nd. It appears from the Rolls of Chancery, 18-20
Car. I. that he had been designed for the see of Kilmore,
upon Bishop Bedell's death ; for we find a revocation of
several letters patent made to him, dated March 3rd,
1643-4. [Todd's MSS.] The Bishop had little en-
joyment of his see until the King's Restoration. He died
at Clonfert, on August llth, 1664, and was buried in
the cathedral.

1664-5. EDWARD WOLLEY, D. D. a native of Shrewsbury,
in England, educated at St. John's College, Cambridge,
was domestic Chaplain to King Charles I. and afterwards
to King Charles II. who, in reward of his great diligence
in reclaiming sectaries to the Church, promoted him to
these bishoprics, by patent dated March 10th. He was
consecrated at Tuam, on April 16th, by Samuel, Archbi
shop of Tuam, assisted by the Bishops of Elphin and
Killala.

He set himself to work at repairing and improving
his cathedral; and also the episcopal residence. In one
of the rooms of this last, his armorial bearings yet remain
over the chimney-piece, with the motto "pasce oves."

Dr. Wolley was highly respected in his dioceses, for
his excellence in preaching and his exemplary life. A
list of his numerous published works is given in Ware's
Writers of Ireland. He died, from an accidental fall in
his own house (as currently reported), in 1684. Upon
his death, King James II. seized the episcopal revenues,
and gave them to the Popish Bishops, keeping the two
sees without a lawful pastor.

1804. CHRISTOPHER BUTSON, D.D. was born in the parish of
Lambeth, Westminster, in May 1747. He was the son of
John Butson, a gentleman who owned the property upon
which the well-known Astley's Amphitheatre was after
wards erected.

Lydiatt, at Warwick. Afterwards he was removed to

Oxford, as a Commoner of Trinity College ; and in the

which was considered to have a high degree of merit,

176 CLONFERT.

and which has been printed more than once. In 1772
he became B. A. ; but the superior degrees he took in
Trinity College, Dublin, after his retirement from Eng
land; becoming M. A. in 17—; D.D.inl790. In 1774
he vacated his Fellowship of New College, by marrying
the daughter of Sir H. Gould, of Sharpham Park, in So
mersetshire ; and coming over to Ireland in that year,
took Priest's Orders in Dublin, on November 1st. [Con
sist. Dubl.] His earliest preferment in this country was
to the rectory of Kiltullagh, in the diocese of Tuam. In

consecrated in St. Patrick's, Dublin, on July 29th, by
the Archbishop of Dublin, assisted by the Bishops of
Kildare and Waterford.

He constantly resided upon his see during thirty-
four years, a period more than equal to that of the
united incumbencies of his eight next predecessors, who
had occupied Clonfert as a stepping stone to more eligi
ble bishoprics. In the year 1834, by the vacancy occa
sioned by the translation of Bishop Ponsonby from Kil-
laloe to Limerick, the sees of Killaloe and Kilfenora
became united to Clonfert, under the Church Tempora
lities Act.

Dr. Butson died at Bath, in the eighty-ninth year of
his age, on March 22nd, 1836 ; and was buried in the
abbey church of that city A monument was erected
there to his memory, which bears the following inscrip
tion, composed by himself:

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

at the same time. He is the present Prebendary.

ANCIENT PREBENDS.

1. CROISCORNAIN, or CROSSCORNAN.

It does not sufficiently appear whether this was a prebendal
church in the diocese of Tuam (see above, p. 46), of
Clonfert, or of Kilmacduagh. It is given to the last in
MS. F. i. 1 8. Trin. Coll. Dubl. but to Clonfert in the
First Fruits' Returns. But the accounts of these dioceses
are often so mixed together, that it is sometimes difficult
to ascertain the diocese to which a church belongs.

196 CLONFERT.

1628. WILLIAM BERNARD, Prebendary of Killaspicmoylan,
was collated to this prebend on August 6th. (FF.)

2. KILUARNAN (quaere, KILLORAN, Or KILCORNAN ? )

1683. ANTONY BURKE, admitted April 25th. (FF.)
It does not appear, certainly, whether this church belongs to
Clonfert, or to Kilmacduagh, or even to Tuam.

ADDENDUM to the Notice of Bishop Young's Publications,

p. 174.

At the time when that page was printed off, I was not aware
of another work commenced by the Bishop, but not quite
finished, and never made public; namely, "The Psalms of
David, a new Translation, with Notes." 8vo. This was com
posed while the author was a Fellow of Trinity College, and
was put to press ; but some of his friends having taken ex
ception to the work, it was discontinued, and the printed
sheets were destroyed. The only copies which I have met
with were two in the library of the late Dr. Elrington, Re
gius Professor of Divinity, one of which was printed on thick
quarto-size paper. It has no title: it contains a Preface,
p. i.-xxx. ; Psalms, i. to cxxxvii. 2, on pp. 1-264; and notes
on Psalms i. to ex. on pp. 1-96.

DIOCESE OF KILMACDUAGH.

This see is believed to have been founded in the early part
of the seventh century, by Colman, the son of Du-
ach, from whom it derived its name KIL MAC DUACH (or
as commonly pronounced, KILMACOW.) We find it some
times called the bishopric of "Hy Fiachrach Aidhne,"
and of " Kinel Hugh." Its territorial extent is very
small, and the benefices are few ; on which account it
was annexed by way of commendam to the church of
Clonfert, in 1602; and this union has been continued to
the present day.

Scarcely one of its Bishops during the first five or six cen
turies can now be ascertained.

ARMS OF THE SEE.

I know of no ancient seal of the Bishops. The present ar
morial bearings of the see are engraved in Harris's
Ware.

BISHOPS. 199

SUCCESSION OF BISHOPS.

Circa A. D. 620. COLMAN MAC DUAGH, a person related
to the Kings of Connaught, lived for seven years as a
hermit in the southern parts of Connaught. He after
wards was raised to the rank of a Bishop, and fixed his
seat at the place called after him, Kil Mac Duagh. The
duration of his incumbency and the time of his death
are unknown(a).

814. INDRECHT, Bishop of Kilmacduagh, died. [Ware.]
1178. RUGNAD O'RUADAN, son of Cellaigh (or Gilla Cel-
laigh), died.

1203. MAG GIOLLA CHEALLAGH O'RUADAIN died. [Four
Masters.] Quaere, whether this be not the same with
the foregoing Prelate ?

1224. MAOL MUIRE O'CoNMAic, " Bishop of Hy Fiachra,
Killala, and Kinel Hugh," died. [Four Masters.]

1227. ODO, or HUGH, who was Prsecentor of this church,
was elected its Bishop ; and received the King's confir
mation of his election on May 12th. [Ware.]

1247. CONNOR O'MURRAY, " Bishop of Fiachra Aidhne,"
died. [Four Masters.]

1249. GELASIUS MAC SCELEGAI, Bishop, died. [Ware.]

(a) " On the south side of the cathedral is an ancient altar, in good taste ;
under a relief of a bishop is this inscription : ' Sanctus Colman patronus totius
Diocesis Duacensis.' In the middle is a crucifix, and a person on each side,
with ' Ave Maria' and some devotions round it.

" To the west of the cathedral, in the churchyard, is a small cell, where they
say the Patron Saint was buried, and that the body was afterwards carried to
Aghrim. Between this and the church is M'Duagh's chapel ; in which is stand
ing a large tree, of which they take pieces by way of relics ; and to the south of
this is a raised work of stone, which they call the Bishop's Bed."— [Bp. Pococke's
MSS. Todd.]

200 KILMACDUAGH.

1283. MAURICE I'LATHNAN, or I'LEYAN, died, and was in
terred in the Dominican Convent of Athenry. In Ja
nuary or March of the following year the King issued
his license to the Chapter for the election of a successor.

1284. DAVID O'SEDAGHAN was elected Bishop. He received
back his temporalities from the King on July 13th.
He died in 1290, and was buried in the same convent as
his predecessor.

1290. LAURENCE O'LAGHTNAN, a Cistercian Monk, suc
ceeded. He probably was a man of eminence, as we find
him governing three large abbeys in succession, namely,
Ashroe, Boyle, and Knockmoy. The King gave his
assent to the election on August 10th. The bishop died
about the beginning of 1306, 1307, or 1308.

1308. LUKE succeeded to the vacant bishopric; and held it
during seventeen or eighteen years, till his death, in
1325.

1326. JOHN, who was at the time Dean of this cathedral,
was elected by the Chapter, and had his temporalities
restored by the King on September 3rd. [Rot. Cane.]
He was consecrated in that year by Malachi, Arch
bishop of Tuam. He was living in 1347 ; but it is not
known how long he held his see.

1360. NICHOLAS was consecrated to this see in 1360. We
know nothing concerning him, except that he was sit
ting in 1371, and perhaps in 1377.

1394. GREGORY I'LATHNAN, or I'LEYAN (a Dominican?)
appears as Bishop in 1394. He died in the following
year, and was buried in the Dominican abbey of Ros-
common.

1395. NICHOLAS I'LEYAN, a Dominican Monk, succeeded.
He only held the see four years, dying in 1399. He
was buried in the Dominican convent of Athenry.

BISHOPS. 201

1399. JOHN I'CoMAiD succeeded ; of whom we know nothing
but that his death is registered in the year 1401 in the
register of the aforesaid convent of Athenry.

1418. JOHN, Abbat of Corcumroe, was promoted to this
bishopric by the Pope, on October 23rd, in this year.
We do not find the names of those who succeeded him
for about seventy years.

149f . CORNELIUS appears as Bishop. He resigned in 1502.
[A return of the revenues of this see in the year 1500,
is in Trin. Coll. Dubl. MS. F. i. 18.]

150f . MATTHEW, Archdeacon of Killaloe, succeeded, by the
Pope's provision, dated March 8th. He was still sit
ting in 1523. The time of his death is not known.

1533 or 1534. CHRISTOPHER BODEKIN, or BODKIN, was con-
secrated Bishop of Kilmacduagh, at Marseilles in France,
on November 4th. In 1536 King Henry VIII. gave
him the archbishopric of Tuam, and he governed both
dioceses till his death in 1572.

1573. STEPHEN KIRWAN (or KEROVAN), Archdeacon of
Enaghdune, was appointed by Queen Elizabeth on
April 13th. In 1582 he was translated to Clonfert, and
his see was placed under a custodiam.

1582. THOMAS BANCKES, a Franciscan Friar, had a custo
diam of this see granted to him by the Lord Deputy,
Sir John Perrott. In 1585 we find him, under the
title of" Elect Bishop of Kilmacduagh," a party to an
indenture between the Lord Deputy and Lord Clan-
rickard, and others. [O'Flaherty's West Connaught,
Append, p. 323.] Bishop Lynch, in his return made
to the Royal visitors in 1615, states that on his entrance
to the bishopric in 1587, he found Banckes in possession.

202 KILMACDUAGH.

1587. ROLAND LYNCH, Archdeacon of Clonfert, was ap
pointed Bishop, by Letter of Privy Seal dated June 14th
[Rot. Pat.] and was consecrated in the beginning of
August. In 1602 he was made Bishop of Clonfert, with
license to hold Kilmacduagh in commendam. Since that
period the two sees have always gone together ; and the
succeeding Bishops are to be found under the diocese of
Clonfert.

DEAN AND CHAPTER.

It appears that anciently this Chapter comprised a Dean,
Archdeacon, Treasurer, Prsecentor, fcnd Provost (the
Provost here, as in a few other instances, seeming to hold
the place of Chancellor) ; also six Prebendaries. Of these
last, only two now form part of the capitular body. In
1500 it had a Chancellor as well as a Provost, and five
prebends; namely, Kenvarra, Disert Kelly, Ecclesia-
rum parvarum, Cauda (or Canda), and Croiscornan.
[MS. Trin. Coll. Dubl. F. i. 18.]

SEAL.

An ancient seal of a Dean of Kilmacduagh is now in the
Museum of the Royal Irish Academy, bearing a figure
of the Virgin and Child, with the inscription SIGILLUM
DAVID DECANI DUACENINS (Duacensis). By the work
manship it appears to be of the fourteenth century. It
was found about a year ago, in the ruins of the cathe
dral.

214 KILMACDUAGH.

ANCIENT PREBENDS.

It is not easy to ascertain at this day what several of these
prebends were; nor does it appear whether they be
longed to Kilmacduagh, to Clonfert, or to Tuam; for
the earlier returns of these three dioceses are sometimes
mixed up together, and sufficient specification is not
given. (See above, pp. 45, 46.)

P. 35, 1. 32, add, Mr. Dunne generously gave up all the reve

P. 81, 1. 23, add, In the Library of the Royal Dublin Society

Friend in Galway, giving his Reasons for quitting the Roman Ca

London). Dublin, 1787- That sermon was preached while its
author was nominally a priest of the Church of Rome; it was

timents were deemed too liberal by many of the priests of his
communion), in which the author had made some statements

which were supposed to cast reflections upon certain practices of
the Romish Church. The letter to his friend is dated June 19th,
1787; and it informs us that Mr. Kirwan had conformed to the
Protestant religion two days previously, namely, on June 17th;
and that he had made his public profession of faith before the Ve
nerable Dr. Hastings, Archdeacon of Dublin. It is scarcely ne
cessary to add, that this discourse is not contained in the volume

APPENDIX

FASTI ECCLESIJE HIBERNIC^.

CONSECRATIONS OF IRISH PRELATES.

THE following account of the Consecrations to Irish Sees, since the
Reformation, may, perhaps, prove acceptable to many inquirers. It
commences from the year 1551, when the Reformed Service-book of
King Edward VI. was ordered to be received and adopted in Ireland,
by Royal Proclamation.

Many of these Consecrations have been already made public, by Sir
James Ware, and his editor, Harris ; others have been obtained from
original sources, as Diocesan Registries, Chapter-books, Family Papers,
&c., by my late valued friend, the Rev. Dr. Elrington, and myself.

The series is not complete in its details ; for most of our Registers,
during the troubled reign of Queen Elizabeth, have been mislaid or
destroyed ; and I have not had sufficient opportunity hitherto of col
lecting the particulars from other faithful quarters.

The number of Irish Prelates from the year 1551, including those
who were sitting at that time, is 581, namely :
