Legatenkonzil; 1202
A Tuam provincial council was summoned by John of Salerno, the papal legate, to determine the succession to the archbishopric, which had passed from father to son for several generations, and was due to pass to a nephew of the archbishop who died in 1201. The legate was able to dislodge him, but only with difficulty, and to arrange for the suffragans of the province to elect the prior of Saul, Felix Ua Ruanada, in his place. Felix, an outsider, was duly elected but the local people refused to accept him and at one point even arrested him and put him in prison. In 1215 he went to live in Dublin, where he died in 1238, having formally resigned his see in 1233.
