Legatenkonzil; 1202
Convened by John of Salerno, papal legate in Ireland, to resolve the disputed succession to Armagh. The king supported an Englishman, and the pope wanted a foreigner who was neither English nor Irish, but in the end victory went to the Irish candidate, Eugenius, prior of the Augustinian house at Bangor. The dispute revealed deep-seated antagonism between the English settlers and the native Irish, but although the details are obscure, Eugenius seems to have overcome the hostility of the English and the opposition of the king, because in 1207 the king appointed him keeper of the see of Exeter in England during the vacancy there.
