Ussher, James (1581–1656). Archbishop of Armagh. Born in Dublin and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Ussher was successively professor of divinity, vice‐chancellor (1615), bishop of Meath (1621), and archbishop (1625). On returning from absence in England (1623–6), he signed the Irish bishops’ protest against toleration of popery (1626). Despite his predestinarian theology, he was friendly with
Laud. During his tenure the disputed primacy of Ireland was settled in Armagh's favour and the Bible in Irish language was permitted. After leaving Ireland (1640), he held the see of Carlisle
in commendam. Ussher was a distinguished scholar, contributing to early Irish history and biblical chronology: his argument that the world was created in 4004 BC held the field for decades.
