Christopher Bodkin (or Bodkyn or Bodekin) (died 1572) was an Irish prelate, who was the Archbishop of Tuam, and Bishop of Kilmacduagh during the Irish Reformation. [1] [2]
He was appointed Bishop of Kilmacduagh on 3 September 1533 and consecrated on 4 November 1533. Four years later, he accepted Royal Supremacy and was appointed Archbishop of Tuam by King Henry VIII on 15 February 1537, but continued to hold the bishopric of Kilmacduagh. He swore the Oath of Supremacy at Clonmel early in 1539. [3]
In opposition to Bodkin, the papacy appointed Arthur O'Friel to Tuam and Cornelius O'Dea to Kilmacduagh, but they failed to get possession of the sees. On the accession of Queen Mary I, Bodkin was absolved from schism by Cardinal Pole, and appointed apostolic administrator of Tuam and Kilmacduagh on 7 October 1555.
On the accession of Queen Elizabeth I, he retained possession of both sees. He took the Oath of Supremacy, recognizing the Queen as Supreme Governor of the Church, in 1560 [4] He died in office in 1572. [1] [2]
Adam Loftus was Archbishop of Armagh, and later Dublin, and Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1581. He was also the first Provost of Trinity College Dublin.

The Bishop of Kilfenora was a separate episcopal title which took its name after the village of Kilfenora in County Clare in the Republic of Ireland. In both the Church of Ireland and the Roman Catholic Church, the title is now united with other bishoprics.

Patrick MacMahon, O.F.M. was Bishop of Ardagh in Ireland, recognised at various times by both the Roman Catholic church in Ireland and the Church of Ireland. His appointment to the see was approved by the Vatican on 14 November 1541. The Reformation in Ireland had begun, but there was not yet a definitive break between, on the one hand, the hierarchy recognised by the Roman Curia and, on the other hand, the established church recognised by the Dublin Castle administration of the English king Henry VIII. The Diocese of Ardagh was in the Annaly region of the Farrell clan, of whom Richard O'Ferrall had secured the temporalities of the diocese in July 1541. George Cromer, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland, recognised O'Ferrall and had him consecrated on 22 April 1542. Cromer's successor George Dowdall on 15 May 1544 appointed MacMahon instead as a suffragan bishop inter Hibernicos. When the Catholic Queen Mary I succeeded to the throne in 1553, papal supremacy was recognised and MacMahon received the temporalities of Ardagh. While Monahan says that Ardagh was vacant in the Church of Ireland after the accession of Elizabeth I, others regard MacMahon as retaining his place in both hierarchies. A possibly forged papal bull, dated 1568, deprives MacMahon of his see for simony, non-residence, and neglect of the cathedral. A putative 1572 letter from Marshalsea from a former bishop "Malachy" of Ardagh, abjuring "papistical superstition" and promising loyalty to Elizabeth, may if genuine be from MacMahon. MacMahon's death is inferred to have occurred either before 5 November 1572, when a successor was appointed in the Church of Ireland, or else during 1575, before Richard Brady was appointed by the Vatican on 23 January 1576.
