[57] When Cardinal Paparo came to Ireland in 1151 he found "a see const.i.tuted at Dublin in the diocese of Glendalough."--_Crede Mihi_ (ed. Gilbert), p. 11.

[84] For a fuller account of the beginnings of the diocese of Clogher see _L.A.J._ vol. iv. pp. 129-159. To the reasons there given for believing that Christian transferred the see from Clogher to Louth should be added the fact that in Tundale (p. 54) he is called _Lugdunensis episcopus_.

[85] _Life_, -- 33, 34.

[86] _Ibid._ -- 35-41. The reader may be reminded, however, that the two visits of Malachy to Clairvaux, in the course of this journey, produced the friendship between him and St. Bernard, which had its twofold issue in the composition of the important doc.u.ments included in this volume, and the introduction of the Cistercian Order into Ireland.

[91] There was no unnecessary delay on the part of the Pope in sending the palls. After the death of Malachy a deputation was sent from Ireland to Rome to demand them. Paparo set out to confer them, and reached England in 1150; but King Stephen would not allow him to proceed to Ireland except on terms which he could not accept. (John of Hexham, p. 326; _Historia Pontificalis_ in _M.G.H._ xx. 539 f.)

[95] See p. 122, note 1.

[96] Cp. _R.I.A._ x.x.xv. 258 ff. This conclusion is corroborated by Tundale's Vision, which seems to have been written early in 1149 (see Friedel and Meyer, _La Vision de Tondale_, 1907, pp. vi-xii; _Rev.

Celt._ xxviii. 411). The writer speaks of the _Life of Malachy_ as already written, and in course of transcription (Tundale, p. 5, 'cuius uitam ... Bernhardus ... transscribit'). He may have derived his erroneous statement (_ibid._) that Pope Eugenius went _to Rome_ in the year of Malachy's death from St. Bernard: see p. 122, note 1.
