Who is Flann Mac Flainn?

Flann Mac Flainn, fifth Archbishop of Tuam, 1250–1256.

The History of the Popes describes him as:

Chancellor of Tuam, having been elected by the Chapter, was confirmed by the King, and subsequently by the Pope "on account of his great learning and wisdom". He was consecrated at Tuam, on Christmas Day. During a vacancy of the see of Enachdune ... [he] took possession both of the spiritualities and temporalities, and retained them during his life. In the year 1255 he went over to England to confer with the King upon that and other Church matters; and appears to have succeeded in his objects; the Four Masters tell us, that "all the favours which were asked were honourably granted to him by the King. He died at Bristol on his return to Ireland, in 1256, leaving behind him a high charecter for learning and knowledge of the laws.
