About: Roolwer

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Roolwer, also known as Hrólfr, was an eleventh-century ecclesiast. He is the first named bishop of a jurisdiction which later became the Diocese of the Isles, and appears to have served at his post before, and perhaps during, the reign of Gofraid Crobán, King of Dublin and the Isles. Roolwer's name appears to correspond to the Old Norse Hrólfr, which could mean that he is identical to either of two contemporary like-named bishops of Orkney. Roolwer's predecessor in the Isles may have been Dúnán, whose death in 1074 during the Dublin overlordship of Toirdelbach Ua Briain, King of Munster, may have enabled the ecclesiastical separation of Dublin from the Isles. The site of Roolwer's cathedral is unknown, although Maughold and St Patrick's Isle are possibilities.

  • Roolwer (ou Hrafr en norrois) était un évêque de l'île de Man. Son nom est d'origine scandinave. Selon les Chroniques de Man, il fut le premier évêque de Man dont l'existence est attestée, avant même la création de l'abbaye de Rushen. Il officiait avant la montée sur le trône de Godred Crovan, c'est-à-dire avant 1080. Selon les Chroniques de Man, il « est suffisant de faire l'énumération des évêques avec Roolwer, parce que nous sommes totalement ignorants des évêques qui l'ont précédés, car nous ne disposons d'aucune source écrite antérieure, ni du récit de certains de nos anciens. » Roolwer fut enterré dans la paroisse de Maughold. L'église de Maughold lui est d'ailleurs dédiée. (fr)
