Christopher Bodkin (or Bodkyn or Bodekin) (died 1572) was an Irish prelate, who was the Archbishop of Tuam, and Bishop of Kilmacduagh during the Irish Reformation. He was appointed Bishop of Kilmacduagh on 3 September 1533 and consecrated on 4 November 1533. Four years later, he accepted Royal Supremacy and was appointed Archbishop of Tuam by King Henry VIII on 15 February 1537, but continued to hold the bishopric of Kilmacduagh. In opposition to Bodkin, the papacy appointed Arthur O'Friel to Tuam and Cornelius O'Dea to Kilmacduagh, but they failed to get possession of the sees. On the accession of Queen Mary I, Bodkin was absolved from schism by Cardinal Pole, and appointed apostolic administrator of Tuam and Kilmacduagh on 7 October 1555. On the accession of Queen Elizabeth I, he retained possession of both sees. He took the Oath of Supremacy, recognizing the Queen as Supreme Governor of the Church, in 1560 〔 ()〕 He died in office in 1572.〔〔 ==References== * ''Dictionary of Irish Biography'', p. 625, Cambridge, 2010. |- |- 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher Bodkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
