[511] Christian, bishop of Clogher, was probably appointed bishop of that diocese in succession to Cinaeth Ua Baigill, who died in 1135 (_A.T._). He seems to have transferred the see of the diocese to Louth, a large part of the diocese of Armagh (in which Louth was situated) being placed under his jurisdiction. This arrangement was no doubt made by Malachy with the support of Donough O'Carroll. See the document quoted in Additional Note C, p. 170, _L.A.J._ iv. 133 ff. and above, p. lix. Christian is commemorated in the contemporary Martyrology of Gorman on June 12. The year of his death is stated (_A.F.M._) to have been 1138. St. Bernard obviously supposed it to have taken place in 1139 (p. 70, n. 2), and he appears to be right. For the work described in § 32 demands a longer period than can be allowed for it on the supposition that he divulged his scheme of visiting Rome before June 12, 1138. Moreover by that time he cannot have known that the papal schism had come to an end; for the Anti-pope did not submit till May 29. Cp. p. 72, n. 3, and _R.I.A._ xxxv. 245 ff. For another notice of Christian, see p. 89, n. 1. [512] Acts vi. 8 (vg.), combined with Acts xi. 24. [513] Jer. xii. 11. [514] Gal. ii. 9. [515] Matt. ii. 18. [516] Deut. xxv. 5 (vg.). [517] Edan O'Kelly was bishop of Louth till his death in 1182 (_A.L.C._). He organized the diocese of Oriel, with its see at Louth--corresponding to the present diocese of Clogher--by the help of Donough O'Carroll. In conjunction with him he founded the monastery of SS. Peter and Paul for Augustinian canons at Knock, by Louth, consecrated by Malachy in 1148 (_A.F.M._; _L.A.J._ iv. 239, and document quoted, p. 170). Close to it he also founded the Augustinian monastery of St. Mary, the church of which was the cathedral church of the diocese. On the early history of this diocese see _L.A.J._ iv. 129 ff. [518] This simple story was much developed in later times. Thus in a medieval register of Clogher we read that when Edan had anointed Christian on his deathbed "Malachy saw the ring which Christian wore leap to Edan's finger, and therefore he consecrated him bishop" (_L.A.J._ iv. 239). [519] No particulars are given of the passage through Scotland. But Malachy probably sailed from Bangor to Cairngarroch (§ 40, p. 78, n. 4), and travelled thence by the shortest route through Carlisle to York. The kingdom of Scotland then extended southwards to the river Ribble at Gisburn (§ 69) and eastwards to the Tees (William of Newburgh, in _Chron. of Stephen_ (R.S.), i. 70). For a full discussion of his journeys, the results of which are here assumed, see _R.I.A._ xxxv. 238-243.
