[407] The narrative of this and the next section is illustrated by the Annals under the year 1134. _A.F.M._, after recording the obit of Murtough, proceed: "Niall, son of Aedh, was installed in the coarbate of Patrick. A change of abbots in Armagh, _i.e._ Mael Maedoc Ua Morgair in place of Niall." In _A.T._ we have the statement, "Mael Maedog o Mongair ascended Patrick's chair. The Cinel Eoghain of Tulach Óg conspired against Mael Maedoc, and a flash of lightning consumed twelve men of them on the spot where they conspired against him." Thus it seems that the conspirators came from the place now known as Tullaghoge, in the county of Tyrone, then, as now, in the diocese of Armagh. It was the district inhabited by the sept of the O'Hagans, and in it was the _lía na rígh_, the inauguration chair of the O'Neills, kings of Ulster. The confirmation which St. Bernard's story receives from _A.T._ is the more important, because the two narratives are so far different that they must have come from independent sources.

[428] John xiii. 31. [429] This date is incorrect. The entry into the city of Armagh cannot have taken place before October 1134, when Malachy was in his fortieth (possibly thirty-ninth) year. His entry into the province (§ 21) was probably made in his thirty-eighth year. This was no doubt the cause of St. Bernard's error; for one of his documents may, like _A.F.M._ (p. 48, n. 3), have used words which seemed to imply that he entered Armagh on that earlier occasion. [430] If "the king" was Cormac Mac Carthy (p. 51, n. 2), the statement that he returned home shortly after Malachy obtained possession of the see, is confirmed by _A.F.M._ For they record, under 1134, the consecration of Cormac's Chapel on the rock of Cashel.
