The see became one of the dioceses approved by Giovanni Cardinal Paparoni at the synod of Kells in 1152, and has approximately the same boundaries as those of the ancient Kingdom of Breifne. In the Irish annals, the bishops were recorded of ''Breifne'', ''Breifni'', ''Breifny'', ''Tir-Briuin'', or ''Ui-Briuin-Breifne''.
