Uí Fiachrach Muaidhe
The Uí Fiachrach Muaidhe were a branch of the Uí Fiachrach dynasty of the Connachta in medieval Ireland. They were centred on the Moy River valley of modern-day County Mayo, Republic of Ireland. At its largest extent, their territory, Tír Fhíacrach Múaidhe (now in County Sligo) included the territories of Irrus Domnann and Tír Amhlaidh now in County Mayo. This branch of the Ui Fiachrach was descended from Fiachnae, a brother of Ailill Molt (died 484), high king of Ireland. Later their chief sept was the ''Ó Dubhda'' (O'Dowd), princes at Carn Amalgaidh, near Killala, County Mayo. They provided some Kings of Connacht, including:Byrne, Table 18 with dates per The Chronology of the Irish Annals, Daniel P.

Archbishop Of Tuam
The Archbishop of Tuam ( ; ga, Ard-Easpag Thuama) is an archbishop which takes its name after the town of Tuam in County Galway, Ireland. The title was used by the Church of Ireland until 1839, and is still in use by the Catholic Church. History At the Synod of Rathbreasail in 1111, Tuam was named as the seat of a diocese corresponding roughly with the diocese of Elphin, whilst Cong was chosen as the seat of a diocese corresponding with the later archdiocese of Tuam in west Connacht. There is no record of any bishops of Cong, and no bishop was given the title "bishop of Tuam" in the Irish annals before 1152. However the annals recorded some "archbishops/bishops of Connacht" such as Cathasach Ua Conaill (died 1117), Domhnall Ua Dubhthaigh (1117–1136), Muireadhach Ua Dubhthaigh (1136–1150) – the latter was succeeded by Áed Ua hOissín. At the Synod of Kells in 1152, the archdiocese of Tuam was established with six suffragan dioceses. During the Reformation, the bishopr ...

Church Temporalities Act 1833
The Church Temporalities Act 1833 (3 & 4 Will. 4 c. 37), sometimes called the Church Temporalities (Ireland) Act 1833, was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which undertook a major reorganisation of the Church of Ireland, then the established church in Ireland.Boyd Hilton, ''A Mad, Bad, and Dangerous People? England. 1783-1846'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2006), p. 468. The Act suppressed ten bishoprics and merged the corresponding dioceses, with effect from the next vacancy. Provisions The Act provided for merging of dioceses and provinces of the Church of Ireland, and the elimination of Vestry Assessment (church rates or "parish cess"), a cause of grievance in the Tithe War, although disturbance persisted until the Tithe Commutation Act 1838.

Bishop Of Achonry
The Bishop of Achonry () is an episcopal title which takes its name after the village of Achonry in County Sligo, Ireland. In the Roman Catholic Church it remains as a separate title, but in the Church of Ireland it has been united with other bishoprics. History In the sixth century, the monastery at Achonry was founded by Saint Nathy, a disciple of Saint Finnian of Clonard. The superiors of the monastery were styled abbots or bishops of Achad Cain or Achad Conaire, and in some of the Irish annals they were called bishops of Luighne. It was not until 1152 that the Diocese of Achonry was established at the Synod of Kells. During the Reformation, the bishops changed their allegiance back and forth between the Pope and the Tudors. After the Reformation, there were parallel apostolic successions: one of the Church of Ireland and the other of the Roman Catholic Church. In the Church of Ireland, the see of Achonry continued as a separate title until 1622 when it combined with Kil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
