Maelimarchair

Maelimarchair (died 746) was Bishop of Aughrim, County Galway.

Maelimarchair is one of the few recorded Bishops of Aughrim, which was situated in western UĆ­ Maine. Nothing appears to be known of his origins or life. His term seems to have coincided with that of king Cathal Maenmaighe, who died in 745.
