Category:Archbishops of Cashel and Emly

Archbishop of Cashel and Emly is an episcopal title in Ireland which takes its name after the town of Cashel in County Tipperary which was formerly the seat of the kings of Munster. In 1118, the metropolitan archbishoprics of Armagh and Cashel were established at the Synod of Ráth Breasail. The archbishop of Cashel had metropolitan jurisdiction over the southern half of Ireland, known as Leth Moga. At the Synod of Kells in 1152, the metropolitan see of Cashel lost territory on the creation of the metropolitan archbishoprics of Dublin and Tuam. The metropolitan provinces of Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam were roughly co-extensive with their contemporary civil counterparts. Following the Reformation, there were parallel successions to the title in the Roman Catholic Church and the established Protestant church – the Church of Ireland. The title was suppressed in the Church of Ireland but still remains in the Catholic church.
