St. Macull or Mauchold, in Latin Macallius, bishop in the same place from 494 to 518. In his honour many churches are dedicated in Scotland, and one in the Isle of Man. He is honoured on the 25th of April. St. Brendan, from whom a church in the Isle of Man is called Kirk-Bradan, was bishop of the isles in the ninth century. N. B. The Isle of Man has had its own bishop from the time it came into the hands of the English in the days of Edward I. of England, and David II. of Scotland. It was anciently subject to the bishop of the isles, who always resided at Hy-columbkill till the extinction of episcopacy in Scotland, in 1688. The bishops both of the isles and of Man took the title of Episcopus Sodorensis; which Mr. Keith (p. 175,) derives, (not from any town,) but from the Greek word Soter or Saviour, because the cathedral of Hy-columbkill is dedicated to our Saviour. See Mr. Robert Keith, in his new Catalogue of bishops in Scotland, printed at Edinburgh, in 4to. An. 1755. Le Neve supposes with Spotiswood that the Isle of Man had its bishops after Amphibalus, who lived in the fourth age; that they were called bishops of Soder from a village of that name in the island, and that the title was transferred to the island of Hy-columbkill in the eighth age, when the two sees were united into one. But the succession of bishops in the Isle of Man is not sufficiently clear. Matthew Paris says that Wycomb was first bishop of Man, in the twelfth age, and that he was consecrated by the Archbishop of York. See Le Neve, Fasti Anglic. [back]
