He was a Franciscain, became provincial of his order in Ireland, and was appointed archbishop of Tuam by Clement VIII, who ordered aid to be given by all means to the Spanish forces sent to the relief of the Irish Catholics, against queen Elizabeth. Doll Juan d'Aguilla commanded the Spaniards, but the earl of Tyrone having been defeated at Kinsale, Conry was banished, escaped to Belgium, and thence passed on to Spain. He founded a convent of Irish Observantists at Louvain, under the title of St. Anthony of Padua.
