A Chronological Table of the Catholic Primates of Ireland With the Years in Which They Succeeded to the Metropolitan Sees of Armagh, Dublin, Cashell and Tuam

This volume gathers the succession of Ireland’s senior Catholic prelates into a clear, easy‑to‑follow chronology. Beginning with Saint Patrick’s own foundation of Armagh, it lists every archbishop, bishop and archbishop of Dublin, the other historic metropolitan sees, and the year each entered the office. The tables run from the fifth century through the eighteenth, offering a concise reference for each name and date without sacrificing readability.

Beyond the raw data, the author peppers the lists with brief explanatory notes that bring the entries to life. A short anecdote about Patrick’s early successors illustrates how early Irish Christianity was organized, while later entries hint at the shifting political and religious landscape that shaped each appointment. Listeners will find a valuable snapshot of Ireland’s ecclesiastical lineage, perfect for anyone curious about the country’s spiritual heritage or tracing the historic roots of its most prominent sees.
