Archdiocese Of Tuam (Church Of Ireland)
The Archbishopric of Tuam existed from the mid twelfth century until 1839, with its seat at Tuam. St Jarlath (''c.'' 445–540) is considered to have founded Tuam as the seat of a bishop in about 501, and he stands first in the list of bishops of Tuam. However, the names of only two other bishops are recorded before the eleventh century, Ferdomnach (died 781) and Eugene mac Clerig (died 969). Tuam achieved a new importance after it became the seat of the O'Connor High Kings of Ireland in the early 11th century. The O'Connors had previously been based at Cruachain, County Roscommon.Characteristics of Tuam & Recommendations
