Armagh, Council of

Armagh, Council of

(Concilium Armachianum), was held in 1171, and ordered that all the English who had been kept in a state of slavery in Ireland should be set free. The council acknowledged that the Irish were subject to the authority of England. This appears to be the same with the Council of Waterford in 1158, in Labbe. Concil. 10:1183. See ibid. 10:1452; Wilkins, Concil. i, 471.
