Furthermore this allowed abbeys to function as 'minor sees' from time to time, in the case of the future diocese of Connor notably Kilroot, Drumtullagh, Culfeightrim, Coleraine, Inispollen, Armoy and Rashee, some of whose abbots were consecrated as full bishop or as auxiliary Chorepiscopus. * Promoted in 1111 as Diocese of Connor / ...
