- St.
Malachy...................................1134-1137 d. 1148
- Malachy is
perhaps best-known, at least by students of prophetic literature, as the author
of a long group of cryptic epithets which have been interpreted since their rediscovery
in 1559 as being prophetic descriptions of Popes from 1143 on. As of this writing,
there are but two more to go before the end of the sequence of 108.

- Henry Ussher..................................1595-1613
- Christopher
Hampton...........................1613-1624/5
- James Ussher..................................1625-1656
- This Ussher, an erudite scholar with many antiquarian interests, and
a diplomat who managed to win the respect of both Irish and English churchmen
in almost impossible times, is perhaps best remembered today for his work on Biblical
chronology, in which his analysis of given generations listed in scripture led
to dating creation at 4004 BCE.
