Chapter Two, Part Four: The Peace of Armagh, 620

In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;

The Insula Benedicta, or the Inis Tairngire, as it is termed in the tongue of the Gaels, is to be henceforth subject to a general prohibition on violence between Christian men.

The “companies” henceforth agree to put off their rivalries and beat their swords into ploughshares.

The authority of enforcing this peace is entrusted to the Abbot of the Monastery of Brendan, who has been consecrated as the Bishop of Tairngire, and given the full ecclesiastical and temporal authority of this office.

If a man breaks the peace and slays a brother, he shall pay restitution. If a man breaks the peace and wounds a brother, he shall pay restitution.

This Isle and the Land to the West, henceforth known as Terra Ursus [1], shall be the episcopy of the Bishopric of Tairngire, from the North to the South, from the West to the East, for the full extent of these lands [2].

The Bishop of Tairngire, as well as all good Christians, are encouraged to seek to bring the natives of Terra Ursus unto the Light of the Holy Father and embrace the Mercy of the Son.
