If Donnchadh was executed in Limerick under church authority, Lacy would presumably have been aware, if not present at the execution.

So this Lacy character might have been rubbing his hands as Donnchadh got the chop?

Mwooooha-ha-haaa!!

I suspect not!

Contemporaneous to O'Taidhg's primacy, there was a bishop of Limerick called Hugh Lacy who seems to have played for both sides according to Brady's Episcopal Succession.

Lacy would have been bishop there at the time of O'Taidhg's execution.

Great presentation Ian, but I'm fascinated by all those apostrophes. Presumably people in the 9th century would not have used anglicised versions of their names.

I checked Leslie's 'Clergy of Armagh' for information but discovered the two traditions parted company in 1543, seventeen years before O'Taidhg was Primate.
