[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 documents included
in this volume, and the introduction of the Cistercian Order into
Ireland.
[87] _Life_, § 38.
[88] § 51.
[89] § 47.
[90] _Life_, §§ 67-75.
[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.)
[92] Vol. iii. p. 313 ff.
[93] See Letter of Pope Innocent III. to Henry of London, 6 Oct. 1216,
in _Crede Mihi_ (ed. Gilbert), p. 11.
[94] §§ 14, 52.
[95] See p. 122, note 1.
[96] Cp. _R.I.A._ xxxv. 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.
