however, get beyond Clairvaux, where he died in the arms of St Bernard on the 2nd of November 1148. The object of his life was realized four years afterwards, in 1152, during the legateship of his successor. Malachy was canonized by Clement III. in 1190. The influence of Malachy in Irish ecclesiastical affairs has been compared with that of Boniface in Germany. He reformed and reorganized the Irish Church and brought it into subjection to Rome; like Boniface, he was a zealous reformer and a promoter of monasticism. But perhaps his chief claim to distinction is that of having opened the first Cistercian monastery in Ireland, five more being soon afterwards established. Several works are attributed to him, but are all probably spurious. The most curious of these is a _Prophecy concerning the Future Roman Pontiffs_, which has produced an extensive literature. It is now generally attributed to the year 1590, and is supposed to have been forged to support the election of Cardinal Simoncelli to the papal chair. St Bernard's _Life_ of Malachy, and two sermons on his death will be found in J. P. Migne, _Patrologia Latina_; clxxxii., clxxxiii.; see also _Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters_, ed. J. O'Donovan (Dublin, 1851); G.
