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).〔Haydn, Joseph, ''The Book of Dignities'' (London: Longmans, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1851) (p. 490 )〕 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 ) at heritagecouncil.ie〕 The first St Mary's Cathedral on the present site was begun in the 12th century, when Turlough O'Connor (1088–1156) was High King. This marked Tuam's becoming the seat of an Archbishop, following the Synod of Kells of 1152.〔(St Mary's Cathedral, Tuam ) at County Galway Guide, tuam.galway-ireland.ie〕 With the Reformation, the archdiocese was separated from the authority of the Pope and reconstituted into a province of the Church of Ireland, so continuing until the nineteenth century. In 1839, on the death of the last archbishop, Dr Power Trench, Tuam lost its metropolitan status, as a consequence of the Church Temporalities Act, and united with the see of Killala and Achonry. At the same time, the diocese of Ardagh was separated from it and united with Kilmore.〔Haydn, ''op. cit.'', (p. 491 )〕 The former Ecclesiastical province of Tuam now forms part of the Church of Ireland Diocese of Tuam, Killala and Achonry in the united Province of Armagh and Tuam. ==Church of Ireland archbishops of Tuam== (詳細はNehemiah Donnellan *1609-1628: William Daniel *1629-1638: Randolph Barlow *1638-1645: Richard Boyle *1645-1647: John Maxwell *1647-1660: ''See vacant'' *1660-1667: Samuel Pullen *1667-1679: John Parker *1679-1716: John Vesey *1716-1741: Edward Synge *1742-1751: Josiah Hort *1752-1775: John Ryder *1775-1782: Jemmett Browne *1782-1794: Joseph Deane Bourke *1794-1819: William Beresford *1819-1839: Power Le Poer Trench 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「Archdiocese of Tuam (Church of Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
