Dub Dá Leithe
Dub dá Leithe or Dubhdalethe (died 1064) was Abbot of Armagh. Biography Dub dá Leithe was the son of Maelmuire, son of Eochaidh, and thus a member of Clann Sinaig. He had been '' fer léigind (ferleighinn)'', or lector, at Armagh, Ireland. In 1049, on the death of Amalgaidh (Amalgaid mac Máel Muire), ''coarb'' or successor of Saint Patrick, he became ''coarb'', the third of that name who held the office. As he entered his office on the day of Amalgaidh's death, his appointment could not have been made by popular election, but on some other principle accepted and recognized by the clergy and people. His vacant lectorship was filled by the appointment of Ædh o Forreidh, who had been bishop of Armagh for seventeen years. Sir James Ware, who terms Dubhdalethe archbishop of Armagh, finds a difficulty in the fact of Forreidh having been also bishop during his time; however, the coarb of Armagh, or primate in modern language, was not necessarily a bishop, and in the case of ...

Psalter Of Cashel
The Psalter of Cashel () is a now-lost Irish manuscript, which seems to have been highly influential in Irish historiographical tradition. Not an actual Psalter, it seems to have contained Munster-orientated genealogies, king-lists, synchronisms, and hagiographical material, among other items. Its contents can be at least partially reconstructed via subsequent citation of the manuscript and a couple of descriptions of it; some material may well be reflected or, in some cases, preserved in later, still-extant manuscripts. Both medieval and modern scholarship often holds that the codex was compiled by Cormac mac Cuilennáin (died 908), bishop and king of Munster. However, it is now generally thought to have been produced under Brían Boruma (died 1014), king of Munster and aspirant king of Ireland, to justify and promote the claims of his own rising dynasty and region. Nonetheless, it could quite possibly have been based on earlier materials. Plentiful citations of the codex by name d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Annals Of The Four Masters
The ''Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland'' () or the ''Annals of the Four Masters'' () are chronicles of Middle Ages, medieval Irish history. The entries span from the Genesis flood narrative, Deluge, dated as 2,242 Anno Mundi, years after creation to AD 1616. Publication delay Due to the criticisms by 17th-century Irish historian Tuileagna Ó Maol Chonaire, the text was not published in the lifetimes of any of the participants. Text The annals are mainly a compilation of earlier annals, although there is some original work. They were compiled between 1632 and 1636, allegedly in a cottage beside the ruins of Donegal Abbey, just outside Donegal (town), Donegal Town. At this time, however, the Franciscans had a house of refuge by the River Drowes in County Leitrim, just outside Ballyshannon, and it was here, according to others, that the ''Annals'' were compiled.
