What is recorded here

The memorial of Bishop Edward King, dated 1638 was on a wall of St Mary's Cathedral (RO016-127001-), but it does not survive. It was recorded by Burke (1895, 111), and by Weld (1832, 358) as: Here lieth the body of Edwa- / rd King Doctor in Divinity co- / nsecrated Bishop of Elphin anno / Dmni 1610 and continued Bp in that / See until the eight of March / 1638 on which day and yeare he / died at the age of 63. This Bisho- / p much augmented the revenue / of the see was a constant pre- / acher of God’s word and a man / of great sanctity of life. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
