Cathróe of Cennrígmonaid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cathróe of Cennrígmonaid is the twelfth alleged Bishop of Cennrígmonaid, equivalent to later day St. Andrews, although apparently only "bishop-elect".[1] He is one of 4 bishops-elect listed by Walter Bower; that is, he is the second of Giric, Cathróe, Eadmer and Godric. As with the other 3, Bower is our only source. As the list is in chronological order, only Cathróe can have been bishop elect before Thurgot of Durham was elected bishop in 1107, with Eadmer being bishop-elect in 1120 after the death of Thurgot.[2] It has been suggested too that Eadmer and Godric are the same people.[3]
