| Summary: | On the periphery of Roman and English influence in western Ireland, these two bishops balanced external and local authority to remain in office for the first four decades of the reformation. At first, they repulsed claimants with both royal and papal appointments, but they spent the rest of their careers working with representatives of both churches. The support of local magnates mattered most in gaining, holding, and supporting a clergy in their sees; diocesan financial reports reveal varying levels of support tied to political distinctions within the region. Neither their personal faith nor the traditional religious practices in their dioceses show any impact of reforms promulgated by Rome or London. By the end of their lives, religious divisions had hardened and the opportunity for such ambiguity had passed. |
