Various of Bishops of Gwynedd

By February  2, 917, with the accession of King Alroy, the complement had changed little. During the previous year, Ailin MacGregor and Hubert MacInnis had been elected Auxillary Bishops of Valoret and Rhemuth, respectively. Soon after King Alroy's accession, foru new iiinerent bishops were appointed bring the total to twelve.

In November of 917, following the death of Archbishop Faffray of Carbury, two itinerant bishops were translated to new ttular sees: Bishop Turlough for the Diocese of Marbury and Bishop Paulin for the Diocese of Stavenham. On December 24,  following extensive debate and despite strong opposition from the regents, Alister Cullen was elected to replace Jaffray's successor as Archbishop of Valoret. Though legally enthroned on December 25, he was deposed and ousted by the regents on the same date and forced to flee, taking Bishops Niallan Trey and Dermot O'Beirne with him. Bishop Davet Nevan died in the accompanying civil disorder, as did Bishop Kai Descantor, the last remaining Deryni bishop.

The next morning, the remaining five bishops bolstered their depleted ranks by appointing six new itinerant bishops, Hubert's twenty-year-old bachelor nephew Edward among them. A carefully managed election that afternoon led to Hubert's enthronement as the Archbishop of Valoret and Primate of All Gwynedd on the morning of December 27. Immediately following, Hubert opened the Council of Ramos, with the following holding episcopal office:

Once the dust had settled, only Eustace of Fairleigh remained from the ten itinerant bishops previously holding office (not counting the two auxillary bishops.) Five replacements were appointed in the next fortnight to bring the complement to six, with an additional four selected  in the next six months.

We may assume that the General Synod continued  to evolve in the next two hundred years, but it will remain for the future works to elucidate specifics. Suffice it to say that, by the time of King Kelson's accession in November of 1121, the complement stood at ten totled bishops (two of them archbishops) and twelve itinerant bishops (including two auxillary bishops.)

By 1122, offices had shuffled. Loris had been deprived of office and imprisoned, a number of men had died (Patrick Corrigan in 1121, of a heart attack; Richard of Nyford, executed with Duke Jared in 1121; de Lacey in 1122, of pneumonia; and Morris, date and cause unspecified.) In addition, the new sees of Ballymar and Cardosa had been activated, and the see of Carbury had gone into abeyance.

At the Synod of Meara in 1123, following the death of Carsten of Meara, Henry Istelyn wasnominated as the royal candidate for Bishop of Meara, duly elected, and installed. Shortly thereafter, former Archbishop Edmund Loris escaped from his incarceration at Saint Iveagh's, deposed Istelyn and connived at his judicial murder trial, took the style of Primate of Meara for himself, and named Judhael of Meara as Bishop of Ratharkin, which titles persisted until the capture and execution of the two by Kelson in the summer of 1124. As part of the resolution of this episode, several bishops who had supported Loris and Judhael were imprisoned or deprived of office, necesitating yet another shuffle of bishoprics.
