gee O those who do not appreciate the value of a Kalendar, the 
(ee ey following work may seem to be labour lost: but it must 

«7 be borne in mind that a Kalendar is in a sense an abridg- 
ment of ecclesiastical history in general, and where it exhibits local 
peculiarities, it sums up the results of the most remarkable fruits of 
Christianity in the country to which it belongs. 

Sinee the very institution of Christianity implies that a daily 
publie worship is offered to God, it became necessary in the primi- 
tive ages that a table should be formed in which the names of the 
several festivals were recorded; and, consequently, at a very early 
period, the Fathers of the Church began to employ the Roman Fasti, 
altering those things which were opposed to the spirit of the new 
religion. Thus, the feasts of the saints took the place of those of the 
pagan deities, and the Sunday Letter that of the Literee Nundinales: 
There existed, indeed, in Christian times, both a civil and a religious 
Kalendar—the first for the advantage of those engaged in secular 
business ; the second, in which, for religious purposes, were noted the 
obits of the bishops, and the birthdays of the martyrs. In this manner 
the ecclesiastica] Kalendar grew out of a combination of the secular 
Fasti with the Diptychs, in which were inscribed the names of those 
who were commemorated in the Holy Mysteries. Even if we reject, 
as apocryphal, the statement of the Liber Pontificalis, that S. Clement 
appointed seven notaries to record the Acts of the Martyrs in the 
different communes of Rome, it cannot be denied that the funda- 
mentaland characteristic conception of Christian burial led to the

ad Rhen. 1829). 
a 


x PREFACE. 


idea of collecting the Acts of the Martyrs. The catacombs, with their 
confraternities of fossores, their arcosolia, and tombs, decorated with 
the emblems of martyrdom, led on to the record of the deposition or 
burial of the individual Christians buried therein.’ 

This is seen in a little martyrology of the Roman Church— 
the oldest document of the kind—in which the death and burial of 
some of the Popes down to Julius I., and of some of the martyrs, 
chiefly Roman, are recorded.? Thus, out of the heathen Fasti sprung 
the Christian Kalendars, and the Kalendars soon grew into Martyrolo- 
gies. The Kalendar was the rule of the services of a single church ; 
the Martyrology was a compilation from local Kalendars, united to 
an abridgment of the acts of individual saints, though this latter 
element was posterior in point of time. Beyond the locality of the 
scene of the martyrdom and country of the saint no details were at 
first given. 

The work which has most decidedly left its mark upon the 
Church was one by Eusebius, now lost, termed “De Martyribus.” 
It seems to have been fuller and more circumstantial than kalendars 
or martyrologies usually are, and the use which S. Jerome made 
of it has always caused it to be regarded as the foundation of 
this form of ecclesiastical history. Baronius combats the idea 
that the letters of S. Jerome and of Chromatius and Heliodorus on 
this subject are otherwise than forgeries ;? but the authority of Wala- 
fridus Strabo, and of Beeda, is sufficiently weighty to incline us to the 
belief that S. Jerome did indeed make some translation of the original 
work of Eusebius.* 

This work of Eusebius became rare in the East from the sixth 
century. S. Eulogius of Alexandria wrote to S. Gregory the 
Great to obtain a copy in vain ;—but, in the West, some traces of it

remained. John of Hamburg, a Carthusian of Prague, in a letter 
addressed to Henry Olemann in 1408, cites a work which he calls 
the “ Five Thousand Crowns,” and attributes to Eusebius. It is not 
impossible, however, that we possess this compilation of Eusebius, in 
the little Syriac Martyrology, written in 412, and published by 
Wright, to whom we are also indebted for the publication of some 
curious accounts of the early martyrs in Edessa, and the East." 

It is still a question whether the Martyrology of S. Jerome now 
exists; scholars are inclined to believe that it does, though not 
without some subsequent interpolations. The ancient martyrology 
printed by D'Achery? is probably his work, and is in substance “ the 
one codex," into which were collected the names of all the martyrs 
with their passions, which is referred to by Pope S. Gregory in his 
answer to the Bishop of Alexandria, already alluded to. This was 
printed from a MS. at Corbey. Other MSS. of the work are referred 
to by the learned Rosweyd in his preface to the Martyrology of the 
Venerable Beeda in the Acta Sanctorum. That of Epternach is one 
of the most remarkable. 

A Kalendar was composed at Rome, in a.p. 448, by Polemius 
Sylvius, addressed to S. Eucherius of Lyons, in which, as in some 
others anterior to the seventh century, both the Christian and the 
heathen feasts are inserted. Of this the Bollandists have given the 
month of January and a few specimens of the remainder. 

Then comes the Kalendar of Carthage, composed in A.p. 483, 
and discovered by Mabillon in the Abbey of S. Germain des Prés. 
Another, edited by Frontius, is regarded by Pinius as next in 
the order of time; and Hampson takes notice of a MS. of the

seventh century, also in S. Germain des Prés, in which is found a 
kalendar.' 

This brings us down to the Martyrology of Beeda, the genuineness 
of which is doubted by Cave,’ but, as it now appears, upon no 
sufficient grounds. It comes to us in its present form with the addi- 
tions made by the learned Florus, sub-deacon of the church of Lyons 
in the ninth century, and contemporary of Hrabanus Maurus? He 
lived before Ado and Usuardus, who, adopting the previous labours 
of the earlier martyrologists, made their collections the great autho- 
rity for the hagiology of the Church. They were followed by Notker 
of S. Gall, whose work is published by Canisius. So late as the 
eleventh century we find at the beginning of a Gelasian Sacramen- 
tary, preserved in the Mediceo-Laurentian Library at Florence, and 
probably used in the great church of that city, a Martyrology of 
Beda. The reader is referred to a Kalendar of the year A.D. 826, 
given by D'Achery;* to the Liber Comitis of Stephen Baluze;? to that 
in Martene and Durand;’ and to an English Martyrology of Beda, 
given also by D'Achery. The present work having to do with 
the Kalendars of the West only, nothing need be said here of the 
Greek Mensa, Menologia or Synaxaria, or of the Kalendars of the 
different Eastern Churches. Those who wish to enter upon this 
branch of study will find much that is interesting in the writings of 
Cardinal Pitra? 

Did our limits permit we might be tempted to enter into an 
account of the numerous Anglo-Saxon Kalendars which remain to us, 
such as that in Leofric’s Sacramentary, which, from the absence of

the Festival of S. Swithun, who died a.p. 861, must be held to be 
anterior to that date, or the Menologium Poeticum in the British 
Museum,’ which is certainly antecedent to the year 1000. But, as 
our immediate work is connected with two only of the families of 
Kalendars, we must confine ourselves to a few observations on them. 
They are, first, the Irish Kalendars; and, secondly, those of the 
mediszval Church of England and Scotland. 

The Irish Kalendars occupy a very important place in this study ; 
first, from their antiquity, and next, from their purity. The con- 
dition of the MSS. which still remain to us gives the most satisfactory 
proof of the age in which they were composed, and the different fes- 
tologies act as a mutual corroboration in regard to authenticity. 
The Festology of Aingus the Culdee, still existing in manuscript, has 
been glossed, but has not been tampered with. Indeed, there has 
been no possible motive to induce men to alter the text; and the deep 
traditional veneration in Ireland for a holy book as such has tended 
to protect it. Moreover, it forms a testimony concurrent with 
the great stream of the traditional hagiology of the West; for the 
attitude of the Celtic Church towards the rest of Europe is a very 
interesting point in ecclesiastical history. Separated by the sea, 
by distance, by race, by politics, from the great centres of Christian 
civilisation, Ireland developed her own line of Christian thought, and 
her own form of Christian polity, as evidenced in the tribal, as opposed 
to the diocesan, episcopate. Nor was this influence confined to their 
native land. The Irish missionaries, spread over Europe from Iceland 
to Tarentum, carrying with them their own learning, and to some 
degree their own rites—sometimes well received, more often the 
objects of national jealousy to the people among whom they sojourned 
—formed an important element in the civilisation of the West. 

The special value of the Irish Kalendars, from the hagiological 
point of view, is, that all of them being mixed kalendars, ?.e. exhibit- 
ing both the Saints of the Church of Ireland, and also Saints of the

rest of the Catholic Church, they synchronise so nearly with the 
Martyrologies of Florus, Ado, and Usuardus ; and therefore with that 
of Beda in its present form. Derived at an early period from the 
Continent, or it may have been from Africa, these Irish documents 
present to us early forms of the original Martyrology of the Latin 
Church ; and thus we are able to make many interesting comparisons. 

The author of the article on /ZEngus the Culdee, in the great col- 
lection of the Bollandists,’ conjectures that in the longer Martyrology, 
which that saint, along with Maelruain, compiled, is embodied the 
Eusebian and the Hieronymian works so much desiderated by scholars, 
“Ut hinc merito liceat conjicere quod prior ejus pars continens in- 
numeros Sanctos in Martyrologio Romano et aliis omissos, sit Mar- 
tyrologium illud Hieronymi vel Eusebii a multis vetustis scriptoribus 
seepe laudatum, et a modernis diu desideratum ; vel saltem ex eodem 
compilatum.”” 

The reader will find in Colgan’s great work,’ in the Introduction 
to the Martyrology of Donegal,* and in Professor O'Curry's Lectures,’ 
all that is known to scholars of those Irish Kalendars. These are :— 


I. The Martyrology of Tamhlacht, preserved in certain leaves be- 
longing to the Book of Leinster, now in S. Isidore’s at Rome. It 
was the joint work of S. Angus and the Abbot Maelruain, who, ac- 
cording to Dr. Lanigan,’ died A.p. 788. It has been published by the 
Rev. Matthew Kelly, D.D.'

the Royal Irish Academy.’ It also exists in a paper copy made from 
an independent authority in the early part of the seventeenth cen- 
tury, and now deposited, with many other compilations of the Irish 
Franciscans, in the Burgundian Library at Brussels The date of 
this work must be referred to the beginning of the ninth century.’ 

III. The Martyrology of Maelmuire or Marianus O'Gorman, 
which dates about the year 1167, and of which there is no earlier 
copy known than a paper one written in the early part of the 
seventeenth century, and preserved among the Irish Franciscan col- 
lections in the Burgundian Library of Brussels. 

IV. The Kalendar of Cashel, assigned by Colgan to the year 1030, 
which is now unfortunately lost. 


To these we have to add the very interesting KALENDAR OF THE 
Drummond MissAn, now for the first time communicated to the 
publie. Like that of Tamhlacht, it is not perfect, one leaf, containing 
the Saints from the 22d of September to the 10th of October inclusive, 
being amissing. 

The Martyrology of Aingus gives the following account of the 
sources from which itself is drawn; and being the most ancient but 


one, all subsequent Irish ones may be referred to the same :— 
Though smooth be our book 
In impetuous diction, 
It is not humility nor pride 
That has collected its many parts. 
The great parts (books) of Ambrose ; 
The works of Elair (Hilary) in full ; 
All that was written by Hieronymus ; 
The Martyrology of Eusebius ; 
The hosts of the books of Erin. 
From illustrious companies 
We have drawn the great numbers,

xvi PREFACE. 


On turning to the authors who are here mentioned, we do not 
find among the genuine works of S. Ambrose, or of either of the 
S. Hilarys, any lives of the saints. Among the works of S. Ambrose 
is a spurious treatise, the Acts of the Martyrdom of S. Sebastian, 
so doubtful that it is not admitted at all into the Benedictine 
edition.’ 

As regards S. Hilary of Arles; a treatise entitled “ Ejusdem beati 
Genesii insigne miraculum a beato Hilario Arelatensi Episcopo con- 
scriptum," was first published in Surius? and though objected to by 
Quesnel, whom Cave* quotes as saying, “stylum potius redolet 
Honorati Massiliensis quem et testatur Gennadius plura ad vitas 
sanctorum patrum pertinentia scripsisse," has been accepted by 
succeeding editors. 

The remaining authorities are Hieronymus and Eusebius. Bear- 
ing in mind the uncritical spirit displayed in the matter of Hilary 
and Ambrose, however excusable at that early time, we cannot lay 
too much stress on the reference to these. It is evident at least that 
Martyrologies, believed to be those of Eusebius and S. Jerome, were 
under the eyes of the Irish compilers, and that therefore in the ninth 
century documents professing to be these very Martyrologies actually 
existed in Ireland, and although later evidence as to their being seen 
by scholars is to be found. It may, however, be that these ancient 
documents, in a pure form, had ere this found their way to Ireland ; 
and if so, we owe the preservation of what has so long been lost to 
her venerable church. The learned Bollandists will be seen to incline 
to this opinion. 

But it must be observed that, as time went on in Ireland, 
other foreign influences came to bear upon lrish hagiology. The

Drummond Kalendar exhibits a great variation from the Felire of 
JEngus in the case of the non-Irish saints, while it keeps close to 
the more ancient authority in the case of the Irish ones. This may 
be illustrated by a comparison of the two kalendars fora month. To 
assist the process, the Martyrology of Beda, without the additions 
of Florus, is added.

xviii PREFACE. 


It will be seen from this comparison that the Drummond Kalendar 
is derived from various sources. We find, first of all, that it has 
drawn its entries from the old Roman kalendars, such as are given in 
Usuard and Baronius. The saints, who are, as it were, the joint 
inheritance of the Western and Eastern Churches, and who form the 
foundation of all martyrologies, are represented here. Again, we 
have in the list of Irish saints a very close adherence to that in the 
Felire or Festology of /Engus the Culdee, showing that, in the cen- 
turies which elapsed between the two documents, the old saints had 
maintained their authority and pre-eminence over the other saints 
whose names are recorded in the martyrologies of Tamhlacht, 
Marianus, and Donegal. 

But the great difficulty of the Drummond Kalendar is to account 
for the insertion of others of the non-Irish saints who are represented 
by the words “hoc quoque die," and who are found in the Felire. 
In the present state of our knowledge of Irish hagiology, we can say 
nothing as to their source. Dr. Reeves, in a MS. communication, 
thinks that they are probably taken at second hand from some 
JEngusius Auctus. If we had a perfect copy of the kalendar of 
Tamhlacht, it would be of great use, but I have hitherto been unable 
to obtain one. 


The next kalendar presented to the reader is the KALENDAR OF 
HERDMANSTON. It is from an antiphonary, in a good hand of the 
thirteenth century, with ornamental initial letters and rubrics, which, 
however, are so defaced by damp as to be in many places illegible. 
The psalter is in a larger hand. That the volume was in use, 
not only in Scotland, but in the family of the gifted St. Clairs 
of Herdmanston, is evident, not only from the insertion of the 
names of Scottish saints, and of the dates of such battles as Dupplin 
and Halidon Hill which perhaps had a melancholy interest to the 
family, but from several obits, and records of thé dedication of certain 
churches in the diocese of S. Andrews. On the upper margin of the 
first folio is this inscription, in a thirteenth-century hand, * Iste 


PREFACE. xix 


liber est Johannis de Sco. Claro de capella sua de Hyrdmanniston,” 
which chapel, in the parish of Salton, and county of Haddington, 
was founded by John de St. Clair early in the thirteenth century. 
There are on a blank leaf at the beginning of the volume some curious 
‘charms against a cattle-plague, called lowngsocht, which we know, 
from the Chronicle of Lanercost, p. 85, raged in the Lothians in A.D. 
1268." 

It will be seen how closely this kalendar follows the use of 
Sarum. In the preface to the Arbuthnott Missal, the present editor, 
in conjunction with his brother, the Rev. George Hay Forbes, of 
Burntisland, has gone into some details as to the history of the 
Sarum service-books, their reform by S. Osmund, and their adoption 
in Scotland. He has also reprinted the important letter on the 
subject by Thomas Innes, first communicated to the public in the 
Miscellany of the Spalding Club? It is unnecessary to repeat what 
has there been said. English missals of an early date are exces- 
sively rare. It is doubtful whether there is any complete one 
earlier than the eleventh century. In dealing with the kalendar it 
is sufficient to collate the entries of the month of January in Leofric’s 
Sacramentary, with those in the most ancient of the MS. Kalendars 
in Cambridge, and with those of the Arlington Breviary of the 
fifteenth century, presented by the Right Hon. Sir David Dundas to 
the late Bishop Denison, and by him bequeathed to the Chapter of 
Salisbury, to exhibit the measure of change which took place as time 
went on.* 

. S. Austin of Canterbury of course introduced the Roman Kalendar 
of his time, probably an early form of the Martyrologium Romanum ; 
but we have evidence that he used the latitude granted to him 
by Pope Gregory in this as in other things, and, not to speak of 
Gaulish entries, even the hostile British Church was not wholly unre-

presented, although difference of race, language, and rites, had its 
influence. It would be curious to trace out the presence of the holy 
men, who, without formal canonisation, were by the force of a local 
cultus, first popularly, and then with the sanction of the ecclesiastical 
authority, regarded as saints. The authority of Beeda, whose Mar- 
tyrology soon became popular throughout Europe, helped to fix the 
English lists. It must be borne in mind, however, that want of system 
is a feature of most kalendars. They were written for practical use, 
more to serve as an index to the books to which they belonged, than 
to give a conspectus of the saint-worship of the epoch. Mr. Maskell, 
who is a great authority on English service-books, says :—* This is 
found to be the case with almost all MS. service-books from the 
twelfth to the fifteenth century. The missal kalendar is seldom com- 
plete, and the earlier printed missals follow the same plan. On the 
other hand, curiously enough, the Horee, Prymers, and Enchiridions, 
which are not service-books in the public sense, contained most com- 
plete kalendars. For example, the so-called Bedford Missal, A.D. 
1420, which is in fact a book of Hours, has, if I remember rightly, 
no blank day in the kalendar.” 

Another point is the gradual alteration, by the accretion of new 
saints, as time elapsed. The same authority continues: “There is 
no question whatever that additions were made to the kalendar, 
merely as and because time went on. The date of a MS. is often 


decided by the kalendar." 


The KarENpAR oF CuLRoss, though in some respects less inte- 
resting than the preceding one, is given because by its colophon we 
know it to be really Scotch. “Me fieri fecit Ricardus Merchel, 
quondam abbas de Culenros, quem Deus salvet hie et in evum." 
Culross, even after the invention of printing, was a great school of 
ecclesiastical caligraphy.' In the Treasurer’s Accounts of King 
James IV., which in many ways throw light on the religious customs

PREFACE. xxi 


of the time, we find various entries on the subject. The kalendar 
now printed is taken from a Psalter in the Advocates Library, 
numbered 8.8. 11. It formed part of the collection of Sir James 
Balfour, Lyon King of Arms in the seventeenth century, who de- 
scribes it as * Psalterium Ricardi Mareshill, Abbatis de Culenros 
vel Culros in anno 1305." The style of the writing, however, sug- 
gests a later date. 

Culross was a Cistercian house, founded in 1217, on an already 
existing religious establishment, which traditionally stretched back to 
the days of S. Servanus, and S. Kentigern whose mother, S. Thenew, 
gave birth to him there. This kalendar is a witness to the complete 
Anglicanisation of the Scottish Church which took place after the 
epoch of S. Margaret. It will be seen how very few of the Celtic saints 
oecur among its entries, and therefore we must believe that, while 
they retained a veneration for the ancient founder of the place, 
who was joined to the Blessed Virgin in the dedication of the 
church, the Cistercians of Culross very much ignored what had gone 
before, and eut themselves off im sentiment from the old historical 
Church of Scotland. 

The collision between the foreign and the Celtic elements took 
place under very different conditions in the three countries of Eng- 
land, Seotland, and Ireland. In the first of these, after the unfortu- 
nate issue of the conference between S. Austin and the British 
Bishops, the adherents of the latter withdrew to their fastnesses, and 
maintained a religious nationality, which was not broken down till 
the Reformation, while S. Austin and his followers confined their 
missionary labours to the heathen Saxons and Angles In Scotland 
a mighty revolution was produced by the efforts of S. Margaret, her 
husband and sons, acting as the instruments of the great continental 
civilisation which attended on the triumph of the cause of the 
Church under Gregory VIL In Ireland the ancient ways under- 
went the smallest change. The national saints retained their hold

upon the faith of the people, and their cultus was only modified, 
but not superseded by the foreign and continental influences 
brought to bear upon it. In these similar processes we find the 
agents different. ‘The monastic expression of the Saxon Church 
was found in the Benedictine order; the Anglicanisation of the 
Scottish Church came through the Cistercians and Canons of S. 
Augustine: while Ireland owed the moulding of her old worship very 
much to the friars. 

In Scotland the change was very thorough. The adoption of the 
Sarum Use, the extinction of the old “ barbarous rite,” the transforma- 
tion of the effete Culdee establishments into chapters and convents, 
receive a remarkable illustration from such kalendars as that of 
Culross. They become the gauges of the change. With the exception 
of S. Servanus, S. Felan, and S. Fyndoca, there are no Celtic entries. 
Introduced from England the Cistercian body brought with them 
their own office and their own saints. Nor was this illustrated in 
the case of one order only. The monks of Culross were Cistercians, 
but it was the same among the Austin canons. In the Ritual of 
Holyrood, we find that the kalendar is purely English, the only 
Scottish saints being Monan, Baldred, Duthac, Kessog, Constantine— 
all in March; and S. Ninian, in a later hand. In an interesting 
martyrology which follows the kalendars no mention is made of 
them. 

Still the old saints were not entirely forgotten. In the first 
fervour of the new reform they remained in the background, at a 
later time to vindicate their place in the kalendar and public services. 
Not only did the more barbarous Highlanders, who came into little 
connection with the Saxon civilisation, maintain their old worship, 
but localities hallowed by ancient recollections continued to retain 
their sacred character. The holy wells were still frequented; the sick 
and feeble, attracted to them in hopes of a cure, returned healed to

their homes, and increased the reputation of the ancient saint. The 
actual relies of the holy dead still claimed and received a continued 
reverence. S. Mungo's sacred body still rested at Glasgow, that of 
B. Ternan at Banchory, that of S. Palladius at Fordun; and where 
the local veneration was strong, as in the case of the first of these, the 
divines of the eleventh century were not slow in gathering up the 
ancient recollections: old Scotic Lives were translated into the glow- 
ing and devout language of the Vulgate, and the holy men of Strath- 
clyde and Erin of earlier ages were made to speak like S. Bernard 
or the Abbot Guarricus. 

From the time of the war of succession the tide began to turn in 
favour of the Scottish saints. Possibly the deep enmity against 
England told in this respect ; and the part that S. Felan was believed 
to have taken at the battle of Bannockburn tended to restore his 
order to favour in the estimation of the Scotch. This, at least, is 
clear, that in the thirteenth century, when churches were dedicated 
to the Catholic saints, the old Celtic saints were not superseded; and 
we encounter the remarkable fact of double dedications, like those 
recorded in the Register of the Priory of S. Andrews, where S. Lau- 
rence is associated with S. Coman at Rossieclerah, and S. Stephen 
with S. Moanus at Portmoak.' 

A curious instance of this combination of local and external 
Saints is exhibited in the popular religion more than a hundred years 
later, in the reign of Robert IL, A.p. 1379. In that year a pestilence 
raged in England, but the Scottish borderers ceased not to make in- 
roads upon it, *to preserve themselves from the plague which the 
English said, God in His grace had sent for their repentance, the 
Scots using this prayer in their own idiom :— Gode and Saint Mungo, 
Saint Romayn, and Saint Andrew, schield. us this day fro Goddis 
grace and the foule death that Englishmen dien upon.”?

xxiv PREFACE. 


What has been said of the gradual restoration of the native 
Saints to favour is confirmed by the inspection of an interesting 
Portiforium or Breviary, belonging to the Most Noble the Marquis 
of Bute, which has been obtained for me by the good offices of 
John Godwin, Esq., his librarian. It is a small volume (64 by 44 
inches), containing 349 pages of vellum, written after the middle 
of the fifteenth century, and still in the original oaken boards. 
It evidently belonged to some Cathedral in Scotland, not specified, 
in which there were a bishop and a dean (f 936), an altar of 
the Apostles (f. 266), of S. Stephen (f. 24), and of S. Thomas of 
Canterbury (f. 30). It contains the usual Proprium de Tempore, 
Kalendar, Psalter, and Proprium Sanctorum, but the latter does not 
add much to our knowledge of the Scottish Saints. The Kalendar 
is beautifully written. In the month of May (xvi Kal Jun.), is 
a record of the battle of Brechin, between Lords Crawford and 


Huntly :—*...... Brechin anno domini 1452. Conflictus hic 
stabit.” And at vii. Kal. Jun. “Coronacio Jacobi primi apud Sconam 
in die dominica anno domini M’ccce*xxiiij’.” These are both in 


the same handwriting as the Kalendar. There are in a later hand 
the obits of Andr’ Barclay, xvi. Kal Maii, and..........- 
Mortimer. The Barclays were a great family in Angus and the 
Mearns. The Mortimers possessed Gray and Foulis on the confines 
of Perthshire. 

Now, when we compare the entries in this Kalendar with 
those in the Herdmanston and Culross lists, we find a much 
stronger representation of the native element. The following are 
the additional names :—

in the Kalendars of Herdmanston and Culross, are added in later 


hands :— 
S. Blasij. S. Baldrede. 
S. Monani. S. Aldelmi. 
S. Servani, 


But a still more remarkable fact must be noted. In a later hand 
occur the names of two obscure Irish Saints—S. Bean and S. Mobhi 
—the only record which exists of a cultus of S. Mobhi in Scotland. 


* Ferne, in Ross, was an abbacy founded by Ferquhard, the first 
Earl of Ross, in the reign of King Alexander II. It was annexed to 
the Bishopric of Ross in the 20th Parliament of King James VI, in 
the year 1607, and is frequently called in charters Abbacia de Nova 
Farina. Mr, Patrick Hamilton, abbot of this place, was the first called 
in question for religion at the dawning of the Reformation, and burnt 
at the gate of St. Salvator's College, in St. Andrews, in the year 
15277"* 

The abbey was founded about A.D. 1230, in the parish of Edder- 
toun, as a daughter-house of the Preemonstratensian establishment at 
Whithorn, Malcolm of Galloway being the first abbot. In the presi- 
dency of his successor, Malcolm of Nig, in consequence of the ferocity 
of the inhabitants, it was moved to another site, twelve miles S.E. 
from the first, whence it came to be called Nova Farina or Nova

Fernia. Twenty-one abbots presided over it, whose names are still 
known, of whom the most remarkable was Finlay M‘Fead, who died 
in 1485, and Donald Dunoon, a man of great learning, who succeeded 
to Patrick Hamilton, and died in A.D. 1540. 

After the Reformation the Abbey Church was used for service, 
until Sunday the 10th of October 1742, when the roof fell down upon 
the congregation. The gentry had seats in the niches, and so were 
saved, and the minister Mr. David Ross, was protected by the sound- 
ing board ; but “ vast numbers were wounded, and forty were dug out 
whose bodies were so smashed and disfigured, as that they could hardly 
be known ; so that they were buried promiseuously without ceremony."? 

The Kalendar now printed is from a manuscript in the possession 
of the Duke of Sutherland at Dunrobin Castle. I regret that I have 
not been able to obtain a loan of it, but by favour of that accurate 
antiquary, the Rev. James Maxwell Joass, minister of Golspie, I am 
enabled to supply the following account of it. 

After stating that he can find no reference in the charter-room at 
Dunrobin as to the time when the Kalendar came into the possession 
of the family, and that it has been bound since 1844, judging from 
the wire-date on the interleaved paper, he proceeds— 

* The *KALENDAR OF FERNE, now at Dunrobin, is a folio on 
vellum, consisting of six leaves written on both sides. It bears no 
date, but belongs probably to the close of the fifteenth century. 

“ Attached to it, as now (recently) bound, are two leaves which 
seem to have belonged to a separate volume. They contain part of 
the offices for ‘The Nativity of St. Stephen the Proto-martyr, and 
* St. John the Apostle and Evangelist.’ There are also two leaves 
now bound with the book at the beginning. One of these is only of 
half-breadth, and contains the following lines in a later hand :—

* On the same piece of parchment is an outline of our Saviour on 
the Cross, and fifteen musieal notes, which seem to have been those 
of a chant. 

“The leaves occupied by the Kalendar are in good preservation, 
but much stained by age and probably by galls. All the originally 
unoceupied spaces, along the margin and elsewhere, are crowded with 
notes, obituary and otherwise. Some of these seem to have been 
written over previous entries of the same sort.

The Kalendar of Ferne is succeeded by what is termed KALEN- 


XXX PREFACE. 


DARIUM QUODDAM CELTIcuM. It belongs to a collection of Gaelic 
manuscripts in the Advocates’ Library (No. 3 of Manuscript 
Catalogue), and is bound up with a treatise on medicine, but the 
writing, which is beautiful, proclaims it to be originally distinct from 
it. Mr. Skene, who is well qualified to judge in such a matter, is 
inclined to think, from the nature of the language, that it is certainly 
Scottish, and, imperfect as it is, it is inserted here as representing the 
Celtic element in the Scotican Church. The only other service-book of the 
kind is a little book of Hours, of the fifteenth century, alleged to have 
been formerly in use of the nuns of Iona, which bears the book-plate 
of Sir Hugh Paterson of Bannockburn, 1709, and is now in the hands 
of his descendant, Hugh James Rollo, Esq. I think it very doubtful 
whether its alleged history is true. There are, indeed, some Gaelic 
characters to be traced, but they seem to have been written merely 
to mystify people. The only true record in the book is the name of 
Mr. Robert Kirk, Dec. 7, 1677. He was minister of Balquhidder, 
and gave one of the first versions of the Psalms in the Gaelic lan- 
guage. Notes in his handwriting, both in Latin and Gaelic, are 
to be found throughout the book of Hours, which is purely Roman, 
without any local peculiarities. 

In studying the Celtic Kalendar it will be observed that the few 
saints who are given are the saints likely to be in power on the west 
coast of Scotland. S. Brigit, S. Ciaran (of Saighir) S. Senan, 
S. Patrick, S. Brandan, S. Columcille, S. Molaisse, and S. Martin. 
The latest saint in the kalendar is S. Francis, who was canonised on 
the 16th of July 1228. 


I have thought it right to reproduce the KALENDAR OF THE 
AnBurHNOTT Missat. A description of its liturgical peculiarities 
will be found in the preface to the edition printed at Burntisland, pp. 
Ixv.xix. It should be mentioned that it does not correspond exactly 


1 Old Statistical Account, vol. vi. p. 95. 


PREFACE. xxxi 


with the sanctorale of the book itself, as is also the case with the 
Breviary of Aberdeen. 


I should have hesitated to reprint the KALENDAR OF THE 
BREVIARY OF ABERDEEN in consideration of the beautiful edition 
of 1854, had it not been for the manuscript additions which I found 
in the copy preserved at Glamis Castle, for the inspection of which 
I am indebted to the courtesy of the Right Hon. Claude Earl of 
Strathmore and Kinghorn. Of the four ancient copies known to be 
still in existence, the Glamis example, and that preserved in the 
Library of the Faculty of Advocates, are thus marked, while that in 
the Edinburgh University Library is clean, and there is no kalendar 
in the imperfect one in King’s College, Aberdeen. The Scottish habit 
of bringing printed lists to a closer uniformity with actual practice 
by additions in ink, is illustrated by the copy of the Sarum Missal 
preserved at Blairs, and described by the Rev. Thomas Innes as having 
been in the possession of James Gordon, Chancellor of Murray, in 
which are added “the names of our local saints in write.” * 

But another reason for giving the kalendar of this breviary may 
be found in the great importance of the book in any hagiological 
work, as well as in the use which has been made of the lections from 
it in the biographical notices of the Scottish saints, at the end of this 
volume. The whole history of the Lections in Breviaries which 
contain lives of saints is very interesting, and hitherto almost un- 
trodden ground. Bona’ says that a Council of Carthage “etiam pas- 
siones martyrum legi in ecclesia permisit, cum anniversarli dies 
eorum celebrantur,” and mentions the singular caution of the Church 
of Rome in forbidding the reading of the lives of the Fathers the 
authors of which were unknown. Gavantus’ points to the saying of 
S. Augustine, in his 2d Sermon on S. Stephen, “ Cum aliorum mar-

tyrum vix gesta inveniamus, que in solemnitatibus eorum recitare 
possimus, hujus passio in libro canonico est," cites the concession of 
the Council of Milevi that the passions of the martyrs might be read 
on their anniversaries, and refers to the rules of S. Caesarius and 
S. Aurelian for a recognition of the custom. Resistance to it is 
found in the Council of Laodicea, can. 59, and in the works 
of Agobard, Bishop of Lyons, but it gradually asserted itself, The 
acts of the martyrs were read in the mass before the epistle, but this 
prevailed chiefly in the churches of Gaul and Spain. 

The process seems to have been as follows :—First, the passions 
of the martyrs, which were read at mass before the Epistle, came 
to be used in the Canonical Hours, and so edifying were they found 
to be that nine and sometimes twelve lections were read at the 
different nocturns. After a time, Holy Scripture and the homilies of 
the saints reasserted their position, and while three lections of the 
saints’ lives continued to be read in church, a portion of the martyr- 
ology and certain lives of the saints were read in the refectory at meals. 
Then, when new offices were made, selections from some accredited 
life, probably the part containing some edifying miracle, was selected. 
Lastly, neat little epitomes, framed specially for the purpose of inser- 
tion in the Breviary, were composed, and formed the three lections of 
the second nocturn. 

A study of the sources from which the lections in the Breviary 
of Aberdeen were selected by Bishop Elphinstone would repay the 
toil expended on it. The title-page is suggestive—

The “necnon commune sanctorum plurimarumque virginum et 
matronarum ac diversorum sanctorum legendis, quz sparsim in 
incerto antea vagabantur,” indicates the process by which this remark- 
able work was formed. We have occasionally allusions to ancient books 
from which they profess to be taken ; and we have the opportunity 
of verifying one of the lives, that of S. Kentigern, by a comparison 
with an ancient life preserved in the British Museum, on which 
Professor Cosmo Innes remarks: *It is important to observe that 
this great record of our Church legends bears the test of comparison 
with those ancient lives of the Saints from which it was compiled ; 
and this adds weight to the mass of history there recorded of what 
materials have perished.”’ Elsewhere we find transcripts from the 
veracious history of Bzeda. Irish sources were also freely used, and 
it is a remarkable fact that in the Breviary of Aberdeen no traces can 
be found of that jealousy of Ireland which distinguishes the works of 
the hagiological authors of Scotland in the succeeding centuries. Our 
indebtedness to the mother church of Ireland is ungrudgingly 
acknowledged. Thus S. Brigida's life is abridged from that by 
Cogitosus, which is given by Colgan in the Trias Thaumaturga, pp. 
518-526. That of S. Brandan refers to a little old book. 

It was not till the quarrels arose as to the possession of the Ger- 
man monasteries, that the bitter feelings of the Scots and Irish hagio- 
logists exhibit themselves in the treatment of history.’

XXxiv PREFACE. 


I reprint from the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries, 
Scotland,’ the Scottish entries in the Martyrology of Aberdeen. In 
a preliminary notice by David Laing, Esq., LL.D., it is stated that the 
* Martyrologium secundum usum Ecclesie Aberdonensis” was pre- 
sented to the University Library, Edinburgh, by Laurence Charteris, 
Professor of Divinity, in the year 1677. It is a MS. in folio, written 
in the early part of the sixteenth century. From the persons whose 
names are commemorated in the accompanying obituary (not here 
reproduced) the volume originally seems to have belonged to the 
Cathedral Church of Murray. 


The last of the pre-Reformation documents, which is given in 
Appendix IIL, is the Litany said to have been used by the Culdees at 
Dunkeld. It was first printed in “ Notes and Queries" by Dr. J. G. F. 
Gordon of Glasgow, from the manuscripts of Prior Marianus Brockie, 
of S. James’ Monastery at Ratisbon. Dr. Gordon states that Father 
(Servanus) Thomson (formerly a monk of Dunfermline) preserved 
it in the library of the convent, where Father Brockie found it. 
It is an interesting piece, but not entirely above suspicion ; 
that is to say, the date which the prayer for the king would indi- 
cate is an impossible one. Girig is the King Gregory who was 
solemnly crowned at Scone in 875, and reigned about twelve 
years? Yet we find S. David Rex among the intercessions. Again, 
the presence of Crathlinthus shows that it must have been drawn up 
after the time of Doece, which is confirmed by the latinity of the 
prayer at the conclusion. The expression * Almificus" does not occur, 
apparently, before 1046.° The debased form *recensitorum " also 
indicates a very late epoch ; and the theological formula, * Tecum in 
ccelo regnantium," is that of the decree on the saints in the canons of 
the Council of Trent. Again, no Culdean litany would speak of the

Pope as * Summo et universali Papee Romano." Frequent as was the 
intercourse between the Scotican churches and Rome, active as was 
the Papal interference with the Culdees in the days of their decline, 
this peculiar form would not be used till the Hildebrandine ideas 
prevailed in Scotland. 

However, though this litany in its present form has no just 
pretensions to the extreme antiquity assigned to it, there is no reason 
to believe that itis not a pre-Reformation document. Yea, rather, 
it seems to bear upon its face traces of the same spirit which dictated 
the publication of the Breviary of Aberdeen. Just as in that valu- 
able work we see evidences of the desire to systematise the native 
hagiology by the incorporation of the old legends and lives; so in 
this litany we see the increased light thrown on Scottish history by 
Boece’s publication employed to excite the devotion of the people. 
The light may have proved to be an ignis fatuus, as those who 
discredit Boece would maintain; but we must respect the motive 
that would thus seek to rekindle the flames of devotion at the lamp 
of history. Probably the present form is based upon an elder docu- 
ment. In any case the compilation is not likely to have been made 
at Ratisbon. There is too much local colouring. There is the absence 
of any allusion to the unspeakable calamities that had befallen the 
ancient Church. An ideal litany for the restored Catholic Church of 
Scotland would not specially pray against catherans, robbers, and 
wolves. It would have some allusion to the progress and effects of 
heresy. 

On the whole, then, I am disposed to believe that it is a genuine 
document, really connected with the diocese of Dunkeld. As a 
matter of fact, we know that by the exertions of Bishop George 
Brown, who presided over the diocese from 1484 till 1515, a great 
effort at reformation took place. “This Bishop has the reputation of 
having been a very good man, and a strict observer of discipline, and 
that he wrought no small reformation in all parts of his diocese.”*

The KALENDAR or Apam Kine is prefixed to his translation of 
the Catechism of the Jesuit Canisius. It is termed * Cathechisme or 
School Instruction of Christian Religion. At Paris, imprinted be 
Peter Hyry, 1588.” The Scottish entries in it are given in Keith’s 
* Catalogue of Scottish Bishops." It is quoted as high authority by 
Dempster, Camerarius, and the learned author of “A View of the 
Diocese of Aberdeen,” published in the “ Collections on the Shires of 
Aberdeen and Banff," whose name was Alexander Keith. He was 
Episcopal clergyman at Cruden, where he died on the 27th of October 
1763. 

Adam King, afterwards of Dryden, was a regent in the University 
of Paris, where he taught philosophy. In 1588 he translated Canisius’ 
Catechism. After this, apparently, he conformed to the times; for 
before the end of the sixteenth century he came to Edinburgh, where 
he passed advocate, and was made a commissary in 1600. 

He married Margaret Vaus or Vans, who survived him. He had 
two brothers, Alexander, and James who acted as Alexander’s executor. 

In the Retours, Edinburgh, No. 397, we find —* Edin., March 17, 
1618, Magister Adamus King de Dreden, unus commissariorum de 
Edinburgh, heres Magistri Alexandri King de Dredden fratris in 
tenementis in Edinburgh." 

There is some of his poetry in the “ Delicize Poetarum Scotorum." 
Dempster mentions him as alive in Edinburgh. 

He continued to act as commissary till his death in 1620. 

He seems to have been a man of literary tastes, and to have 
possessed a good library. In his will there is an item of money 
owing by Mr. Robert Monro of Camptilloch for the defunct’s Library, 
2000.merks (£112:10s.); item by James (Law), Archbishop of 
Glasgow, 500 merks (.£25). 

I am indebted for this information to my learned friend David 
Laing, Esq., LL.D., to whom the science of antiquities owes so much.

PREFACE. xxxvli 


It has not been thought necessary to print in extenso the whole 
Kalendar given by Davip CawEnARIUS in his book “De Scotorum 
Fortitudine ;” at the same time, a work on the Scottish Saints would 
have been incomplete without some representation of it. Although 
very uncritical, and often incorrect, it contains facts concerning them 
which are to be found nowhere else. Just as in Adam King's 
Kalendar we find the distinctest traces of the influence of the Breviary 
of Aberdeen, so in this more ambitious performance we notice the 
effect of the work of King. It may be said to stand midway between 
King and Dempster, and in some respects is more valuable than either. 
An attempt is made by the author to take it out of the category of 
dry history, and to make it subservient to edification—some of the 
more affective acts and words of the worthies represented having much 
prominence conferred on them. For the work was written in the 
interests of the Roman Catholic Reaction. It emanates from the press 
of Paris: * Sumptibus Petri Baillet, vid Jacobzea, sub Gallo et Leone 
Repente ;" and is dedicated in terms more of argument than of adula- 
tion, to King Charles L, from whom, at this time, both the Scottish 
and English Roman Catholics expected much. It bears the date of 
1631, and appears never to have come to a second edition. Conse- 
quently it is a rare volume. 

David Camerarius must not be confused with his namesake of 
Ormond, a Lord of Session in Queen Mary’s time, who was afterwards 
banished his country, came to Paris in 1571, and published a history, 
in which there is much relating to Scotland, mainly drawn from 
Boece, and testifying to the existence of Veremundus.’ After the 
publication of his work at Paris, dedicated to Mary Queen of 
Scots, in 1579, he returned to Scotland in 1586. The author, 
whose work we have abridged in the text, is called Fintreus, 
of Fintray, and belonged to a family of whom more than 
one distinguished himself by a literary career on the continent.’

xxxviii PREFACE. 


Innes! speaks of him as being “in great credit at Rome and elsewhere 
abroad ;" and as among the “most learned of our countrymen” who 
“have used all possible diligence in searching everywhere abroad after 
all remains of our history and antiquities." 

In 1641 he succeeded F. Alexander Pittendreich as Principal of 
the Scots College at Paris, and occupied that position till 1650, when 
F. George Leith of Aberdeenshire, succeeded to him for one year, on 
whose demission Gilbert Blackhal presided from 1660 till 1682. 

Besides the ** De Scotorum Fortitudine," he wrote a work “ De Statu 
hominis veteris simul ae novee Ecclesie et Infidelium Conversione. 
Catalauni, 1627 ;" and he took a part in the ecclesiastical politics of his 
creed and country, in protesting against the appointment of the 
Bishop of Chalcedon as Ordinary of Scotland. 


The MENoLoeruM or THomas DEMPSTER is a work akin to his 
Historia Ecclesiastica, a posthumous work republished by the Banna- 
tyne Club. 

It is unnecessary to repeat what is known about Thomas 
Dempster, all which may be found in the preface to the last-mentioned 
book. All that is required here is to indicate the authorities from 
which the Menologium here reprinted is drawn. They are eighteen 
in number. Some are printed books; some seem to have been in 
manuscript, and are now lost; indeed the late Bishop Kyle, who was 
very competent to speak on the subject, pressed upon me the fact 
that when he had had the power to verify Dempster he had stood 
the test; that his books were very incorrectly printed ; and that both 
he and Camerarius had access to sources now lost. His authorities, 
such as I have been able to verify, are as follows :— 

1. B. Breviarium Scoticum, maxime Aberdonense. “ Breviarium 
studio Gulielmi Camerarii Scoti Fintrei, Sacre Theologie Doctoris, etc. ; Paris., 1637." 
By the same author we have also * Scoticanze Ecclesie Infantia, virilis zetas, senectus ; Paris., 
1643.” * Disputationes Theologice ; Paris, 1639.” “ Disputationes Philosophice ; Paris., 


1636. * Antiquitatis de Novitate Victoria ; Fastemburgi, 1634.” He was a member of the 
Congregation of the Oratory. * Crit. Essay, p. 578.

In printing the KALENDAR or THE PRAYER-Book FOR THE CHURCH 
oF ScorLAND in the time of Charles L, it must be stated that its 
history is very obscure. Little authentic information beyond that 
which is told in the life of Archbishop Laud has come down to 
us. Nothing is preserved in Sion College or in the Lambeth 
Library. Archbishop Maxwell’s papers are lost. He ended his days 
in the See of Tuam, where the archives have been destroyed by fire. 
And the darkness which envelopes the whole subject is not lessened 
in the matter of the Kalendar. We can only guess at the motives 
which generally prompted the selection of certain saints. 

A Scottish Kalendar, however, was nothing new, even after the 
Reformation. In “The CL. Psalmes of David in Meter, for the use 
of the Kirk of Scotland. Imprinted at London by Thomas Vautrol- 
lier, dwelling in the Blackfriers, 1587,” popularly called * John Knox's 
Prayer-book," we find a very curious Kalendar and list of the “ Faires " 
in Scotland. The first has various entries of facts in secular and 
religious history ; e.g., “The 6 (Maii) Rome wes taken be the Duke of 
Burbone, an. 1527." “The 15, God did rayne Manna on the people, 
Exod. xv.” “The 16 (Julii Rome wes overthrowin bye the Gallis 
before Christe’s birth 376 zeiris.” On “The 8 day Johne Hus wes 
brunt in the Counsele of Constance for the trueth, 1415." "There are 
also the Feasts of the Apostles, the assumption of Mary, Sainct 
Laurence, Marie Magdalene, Sainct Martin, and the like. The list of 
fairs is noteworthy as the first of the kind. 

The next step was retrograde. In the MS. Prayer-book in the 
British Museum, which was drawn up by the Scottish Bishops, 


1 A description of it by the Rev. Alexander Irwin, Precentor of Armagh, will be found

mainly by the Archbishop and Bishop Coupar of Galloway, and 
submitted in the year 1616 to King James, whose death prevented 
anything more being done in the matter, no Saints’ days whatever 
are mentioned in the Kalendar, and no chapters from the Apocrypha 
are introduced. Christmas, Good Friday, Easter Day, RECON and 
Whitsunday, are alone observed. 

In 1629, as is well known, Charles I. revived the design of putting 
forth a Service-book for the Church of Scotland, and, although he and 
Archbishop Laud wished to enforce the English prayer-book, it was 
finally agreed, on the recommendation of the native Bishops, that 
Scotland should have a book of its own. Accordingly an order of ser- 
viee was drawn up by Bishop Wedderburn, which was sent to London 
for revision, and formed the groundwork of that of 1637. 

In it we find not only a Kalendar, but one upon which great pains 
and care have been bestowed. The King wrote to the Scotch Privy 
Council tokeep in the Kalendar the Saints of the Blood Royal,'and “that 
in their Kalendar they should keep such Catholic Saints as were in 
the English, such of the Saints as were most peculiar to that kingdom 
(especially those which were of the Blood Royal and some of the most 
holy Bishops) being added to them; but that, in no case, S. George 
and S. Patrick be omitted." Not only are the old Saints of Sarum 
Use, who have been preserved in the Anglican Prayer-book represented, 
but recourse has been had to the pre-Reformation. Service-books, most 
probably to the Breviary of Aberdeen. Of purely Scottish Saints, we 
have King David, Mungo, Colman, Patrick, Cuthbert, Gilbert, Serf, 
Columba, Palladius, Ninian, Adamnan, Margaret, and Drostan. An 
edition of this work was put forth at the expense of the Earl of Win- 
ton in1712. It bears date, “ Edinburgh, printed by James Watson, 
and sold at his shop, opposite the Luckenbooths, mpcoxu. From 
the copy printed at Edinburgh in the year 1637, by Robert Young, 
printer to King Charles the First." In it the Kalendar is given with 
some very slight variations in the spelling. In a Prayer-book issued

by the late Dr. Torry, Bishop of S. Andrews, in the year 1851, the 
same Kalendar is repeated. 

Thus far we have supplied contributions to the hagiology of Scot- 
land, a subject to which little attention has hitherto been paid. 
Beyond the materials now exhibited there exists very little. Alban 
Butler, in his Life of 8. Bega, at September 6, mentions the Manu- 
script Kalendar kept at the Scots College in Paris. This is now lost. 
The Carthusian Herman Grevenius, in his additions to Usuardus, 
must have had access to a Scottish list of Saints. Ferrarius, in his 
* Catalogus Generalis Sanctorum qui in Martyrologio Romano non 
sunt" (Venetiis, 1625), must have had probably that of Adam King. 
He quotes the Breviary of Aberdeen, and the now lost Collectanea of 
Gilbert Brown, Abbot of Sweetheart. 

A few words are necessary as to the method pursued in the 
alphabetical notices. Completeness, either as to the dedications, or 
the incidents in the life of each saint, is unattainable. Frequently, 
in the course of the work, new consecrations have been discovered ; 
it has therefore been deemed sufficient to approximate to accuracy. 
The space also has forbidden that every detail in the lives should be 
given, but care has been taken to reproduce as fully as may be all 
that had reference to modern Scotland in the sometimes voluminous 
biographies. Again, it has been necessary to pass over the dedica- 
tions to those saints who are the common inheritance of the whole of 
Christendom. It would be difficult to make a complete list of these, 
and the investigation would supply nothing distinctive as to the con- 
ditions of the medizeval Church of Scotland in contradistinction to 
the rest of the Christian world. But dedications to some of the less 
known saints are very suggestive; such as S. Dorothy of Croy in 
Nairnshire; S. Apollinaris of Inverurie; S. Hilary of Drumblait ; 
S. Peter the Deacon at Kilerenan. Again, attention ought to be 
directed to the English entries; such as S. Laurence of Canterbury 
at Conveth ;.8. Cuthbert and S. Boisil in the old kingdom of Ber- 
nicia: and to the French, such as S. Giles of Edinburgh ; S. Agil 


PREFACE. xlv 


of Balmerinoch ; and S. Bruoe of Rothesay. The French names are 
the inheritance of the Normans through the Sarum Use. It is 
doubtful whether the later French influence, which told so pro- 
foundly on the manners and language of Scotland in the time of the 
Stewart dynasty, has left any mark in church dedications. It was an 
age of religious decline ; and although the fifteenth century witnessed 
in this country the establishment of many noble foundations, especially 
the Collegiate Churches, which in the main date from that period, yet 
we see nothing to incline us to believe that the Gallican Church told 
upon her Scottish sister in any way analogous to the effect which 
French society at that epoch produced upon civil life in Scotland. 
Beyond the question of dedications the legends of some of the 
saints contain valuable historical matter. In the almost entire dearth 
of authentic information with regard to the history of Scotland before 
the time of S. Margaret—a dearth relieved only by the notices in 
Bede, by the Irish and Welsh Annals, by Adamnan’s Life of S. 
Columba, by the Northern Sagas, and by the Pictish Chronicle—we 
are thankful for the slightest hints with regard to the politics and 
conditions of life of those obscure times. With every abatement 
caused by the uncritical nature of the compositions, we get from the 
legends a very definite picture of a state of society, in which 
violence and barbarism alternate with results of strong religious con- 
viction, and in which we seem to discover those forms of civil and 
ecclesiastical life which are manifested to us in the other nations of the 
Celtic family. We should not have exhibited the whole case had we 
suppressed all the miracles which form so great a proportion of 
the incidents in the lives. Some of these are such as to excite a 
smile upon the gravest countenance. The nature of this work, being 
untheological, precludes the necessity of touching on this subject 
from any other than a literary point of view. Even those who reject 
them must admit their historic value as illustrations of the domestic 
life and manners of epochs of which we know so little. It is hardly 
necessary to dwell upon the general interest which ought to attach 


xlvi PREFACE. 


itself to a work on the hagiology of Scotland. The nineteenth century, 
an age of reconstruction in art, in letters, in faith, has nobly avenged 
the scepticism of the preceding age, which scoffed at everything. 
The recognition of the services of the medizeval Church has become a 
principle in the treatment of history. No author dare now boast, “I 
know nothing of the ages that knew nothing." It was a groundless 
fear of the poet when he said— 


* Impiaque eternam timuerunt secula noctem," 


The lamp of human knowledge, sometimes flickering, sometimes in 
danger of being extinguished, has been passed on from hand to hand. 
The darkest ages had their luminaries, and the foundations of modern 
thought and modern civilisation, of modern ideas and modern 
institutions, were laid in the decay of the old empire. In the virgin 
civilisation and consecration of the new and powerful northern 
races, who, while they scourged the effeminacy and sin of the life of 
the lower empire, laid deep the foundations of the edifice of modern 
life, the great vivifying power which saved the world from the 
corruption of impurity, and from the strong hand of brute force, 
was the Catholie Church. And if this were the case with Europe 
generally, Scotland, in the modern sense, was no exception to the 
universal rule. Our earliest record of Scotic life, in the pages of S. 
Adamnan’s History of S. Columba, exhibits the struggle of the super- 
natural ideas, often indeed allied to brute force, against brute force 
pure and simple. We see the excesses of the rough tyranny of the 
reguli modified and subdued by the influence of the Church acting on 
convictions often caused by sign and portent. Supernatural ideas 
become most potent factors in the politics of the kingdoms, and in the 
intercourse between the governors and the governed. The institutions 
of social life exhibit the impress of religion. Thus, S. Nathalan appears 
not merely as an honoured saint in the Mearns and Deeside, but as 
a great agriculturist and improver. The miracles of S. Gilbert show 
that tacks and leases of fisheries in the northern waters were as well

understood in his time as in the present day. The earliest mitigation 
of slavery is discovered in the inalienable rights which the convents 
obtained over those unfortunate persons whom the community ac- 
quired. Henceforward they were safe from being sold on account of 
the “great necessities” of their master. The first dawn of farming, 
as distinguished from cultivation by the proprietor, occurs in a lease 
granted by the convent of Scone to an ancestor of the Hays. The 
emancipation of women from degrading servitudes was associated 
with the name of S. Adamnan. The art of weaving is mentioned in 
connection with S. Ebba’s monastic establishment in East Lothian. 
That of caligraphy is illustrated by the book of the Gospels and 
Psalters which were so laboriously and skilfully copied by so many 
of the ascetic scribes. The wattled chapels, wooden shrines, and 
stone oratories of the Scotic missionaries—still more, the bolder 
efforts in stone at Whithern and Restennet—were the first shadowings 
forth of the minsters and cathedrals of the best days of pointed 
architecture. The deep respect for man as such, and the recogni- 
tion of his rights to freedom and maintenance, are attested by 
the constant testimony to the choice of the laity in the selection 
of their kings and prelates. The Runnymede of Scotland was 
on the Mount of Faith at Scone, when Constantine the king, and 
Kellach the bishop, with the Scots, vowed that the laws and 
disciplines of faith, and the rites of the churches, and of the Gospels 
likewise, should be observed. 

But a work of this kind has relations not merely to politics and 
the progress of a nation, but to its very topography. We may read 
somewhat of its civil and ecclesiastical history in the dedications of 
its local churches. We find present traces in names, sometimes 
strangely transformed, of the cultus of the ancient saints in every 
province in Scotland. The earliest of the Christian civilisations of 
this country is that of S. Ninian of Whithern, and here we find his 
association with Gaul commemorated in dedications to S. Mathurinus 
and S. Martin of Tours. In the old kingdom of Bernicia, from Edin- 


xlviii PREFACE. 


burgh to Neweastle-on-Tyne, we recognise its existence in the re- 
membrance of S. Cuthbert, S. Boisil, S. Eata, S. Ebba, S. Baldred ; 
and in Strathelyde the recollections of the old Cumbrian kingdom, 
of which Alcluyd was the capital, are still associated with the names 
of S. Kentigern and $. Inan, S. Cadoc and S. Nethan. All 
over Scotland we note the close connection of this country 
with Ireland, although naturally it is in Argyleshire that we find 
the strongest evidence of the connection of the Dalriadic Scots 
with their brethren of Erin; and through this province, above 
all, does our country claim a share in that wonderful Christian 
civilisation and culture which is the glory of Ireland. The power of 
Hy is represented by the frequent dedications to S. Columba and 
S. Adamnan, the latter often under strange modifications. Go to 
the extreme north, and while you find there also Irish influences in 
S. Fergus, S. Fymbarr, and S. Duthac, you feel also the effect of the 
Norwegian power, and Cruden and Grease give shrines to S. Olave, 
and Kirkwall a temple to S. Magnus the Martyr. Come round into 
the purely Pictish countries of Banff, Aberdeen, and Kincardineshire, 
and you find there a more native growth of such saints as 8. Talari- 
can of Fordyce, 8. Devenick of Banquhory, 8. Ternan of Banchory, 
and S. Fumack of Botriphnie. In Angus there is a mixture of in- 
fluences. Churches consecrated to the purely Irish S. Fechin and 
Mochonog exist within a few miles of those who have the Columbite 
Aidan and Colman for their patrons. Cross the Tay into Fife, and 
beside a purely native element represented by S. Servanus and 
S. Moanus, you have indications of the earliest Irish colony. 
S. Cainnich at S. Andrews, S. Hithernais at Markinch, S. Brigida at 
Abernethy, occupy the ground afterwards credited with missions 
from Patras and martyrs from Pannonia. Even in the centre of 
Scotland, in the wild distriets of upper Perthshire, Ireland is still 
present in the persons of S. Fillan of Glendochart, and S. Adamnan 
in Dull Nay, France herself sends back her Celtic visitants in the 
person of S. Fiacre of Nigg; while the civilisation of Italy touches

these distant lands through the medium of S. Bonifacius Quiritinus, 
who founded five churches in honour of S. Peter, indicating thereby 
the presence of a certain Roman influence in Scotland; and of 
S. Palladius, who, sent by Pope S. Celestine to the already Christian 
Scots of Ireland, ended his days at Fordoun in the Mearns. 

One word is necessary in regard to the selection of the names in 
the Alphabetical Notices. The subject being the Saints of modern 
Scotland, I have not thought it necessary to insert notices of those 
who, in uncritical times, have been claimed as Scotchmen, from the 
fact of their being. termed Scoti, either in Ireland or on the Con- 
tinent. This cuts off a great many who occur in the Hagiologists of 
the seventeenth century. On the other hand, I have given notices 
of some Irish saints who are mentioned in the Breviaries and Church 
Kalendars, because they have been the objects of cultus in Scotland, 
and have been connected with it either locally or liturgically. Thus 
S. Fiacre is given for the sake of Nigg; S. Fursey for his death in 
Britannia ; S. Foillan, because referred to in the legend of S. Congan ; 
S. Mobhi, because he occurs in a purely Scottish Kalendar. 

Again, I have given some paragraphs on the strength of the 
attestations of the eminent sanctity of their subjects—such as Agnes 
de Burnevyle Guido of Lindores, or Adam de Lewenax—even 
though there is no proof of any formal process of canonisation. The 
conditions of sanctity in those early times were uncertain. No 
formal process, certainly no reference to Rome, was required to put 
a departed worthy on the roll of the saints. The proofs of holiness 
in the technical sense, in addition to piety and blamelessness of life, 
were miracles, and these proofs were estimated apparently by the voice 
of the people. A good man died. Signs were believed to be wrought 
at his tomb, or by his intercession. The multitude flocked to the 
place, and his claim to sanctity was carried by acclamation. Some- 
times politics had their influence. When William the Conqueror

beheaded Earl Waltheof for treason, the Saxon monks at Croyland 
took him for a saint, and he was so accepted by the English. The 
Very Rev. R. W. Church, Dean of S. Paul's, to whom I am indebted 
for this information, directs my attention to a curious conversation 
between Lanfranc and S. Anselm, on the title to sanctity of Arch- 
bishop Elphege,' in which it is put on substantial grounds alone; and 
Anselm, after an argument, ends by persuading Lanfranc that Elphege 
was to be treated as a saint. This naturally led to abuse. S. Anselm 
wrote two letters? to restrain the cultus of the saints who had re- 
ceived the title without due, ?.e. without episcopal, authorisation ; and 
in the Council of London, A.D. 1102, a canon is passed against it and 
other superstitious usages. 

To conclude, a devout writer, imbued with the spirit of the 
medizeval piety, has thus elegantly expressed himself :—“The lives 
of the Saints of the middle ages are like the ruins of their own 
monasteries, lonely and melancholy fragments, which are but indica- 
tions of a beauty which has passed away from the earth."? 

With some limitations, and with better hopes for the future of 
humanity, I subscribe to this sentiment ; but it is right to say, that in 
the prosecution of my work I have tried to eliminate, as far as may 
be, everything but the historical aspect of the question. The 
sentimental and religious aspect on the one hand, the critical and 
the destructive on the other, I have left to others. I have contented 
myself with seeking to place before my readers the starting point from 
which either line of thought may be pursued—viz., the historical 
facts which have come down to us, the sources from which these 
historical facts are known, and the traces in the present geography 
of the country which illustrate them.

Missal, executed by Messrs. Johnston of Edinburgh, is given. The

verso contains the last page of the Kalendar, the recto the exorcism 
with which the work commences. It must be regarded as an in- 
teresting specimen of the Irish calligraphy of the eleventh century, 
to which epoch the Missal is probably assigned. 

There only remains to me the grateful task of acknowledging the 
help which has been so generously and courteously bestowed upon 
the work by many eminent scholars:—by the Rev. Dr. Reeves, the 
great master of the subject of Irish hagiology and antiquities; by 
W. F. Skene, Esq., LL.D., an eminent Celtic scholar, whose ingenuity 
and felicity of suggestion are only equalled by his solid learning; by 
the laborious and careful John Stuart, Esq., LL.D.; by the Rev. 
Canon A. W. Haddan; by the accurate David Laing, Esq., LL.D., of 
the Signet Library, Edinburgh ; by the late deeply-lamented Daniel 
Rock, D.D.; by Philip E. Pusey, Esq., M.A., of Christ Church, 
Oxford ; by the Rev. W. D. Macray, M.A., of the Bodleian Library ; 
by Henry Bradshaw, Esq., M.A., of the University Library, Cam- 
bridge; by the Rev. James M. Joass, minister of Golspie ; by Andrew 
Jervise, Esq. ; by the Very Rev. Patrick Moran, D.D., of Dublin; by 
the learned Father Victor de Buck, the admirable literary successor 
of the Bollandists; by the Rev. Roger Rowson Lingard Guthrie, 
M.A.; by the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, of S. Mary's College, Oscott ; 
and by Thomas Dickson, Esq., of the Register House, Edinburgh, who 
promises to be a worthy successor of the eminent Dr. Joseph Robertson, 
and to whose careful revision, valuable suggestions, and unremitting 
attention, this work owes what measure of perfection it has attained 
to.

APPENDIX I. 


THE following forms of exorcism against murrain are found, as is stated in the 
Preface (p. xix.), on the blank leaf of a service-book which belonged to the Chapel 
of Herdmanston in East Lothian. The first part, as far as the words “ galilee, 
etc.,” is in a hand of the fourteenth century. The remainder is in a later hand, 
with the exception of the words *In principio . . . deum, etc," which 
are in the same hand as the first part. The name “lowngsocht” means simply 
lung-disease (Anglo-Sax. SwAt, disease), and the disorder was probably similar 
to the pleuro-pneumonia which has made such ravages among cattle in our 
own time. Its visitations were perhaps frequent. A notice of its prevalence 
in 1598 will be found in the Miscellany of the Spalding Club, vol. i. p. 120. ,

propaginis integra voluntate Felanum mire sanctitatis virum Scoto- 
rum populo doctorem peperit salutarem. 


v. Idus Januarij.—1ln Scocia Sancti Felani abbatis apud. Strath-

confessoris apud ecclesiam de Tullich Aberdonensis dyocisis qui vicia

illius regionis incolas insigni sanctitatis preconio celebretur. 


Idibus Jamuarij—ln Scotia Sancti Kentigerni episcopi apud 
sedem suam Glasguensem qui tante sanctitatis honore per vtriusque 
hominis intigerrimam puritatem tanteque caritatis et continencie per 
vite austeritatem tantorumque radiabat miraculorum vt angelorum

sanctissimus abbas Columba longa peregrinatione ob sua preclara merita 
corporaliter visitabat in qua visitatione varia ostensa sunt miracula.

actuum testem habet ut et illa Turgotum S. Andreae antistitem : ex 
eadem aula Bernardus in Orientem copias ducit, Rievallem Benedictinus 
Ealredus administrat, hujus soror Christiana, mater Agatha, virginei

Simonem  Soltreiae, fratres ejus, Vualthenus abbas, Edmundus

reliqua regni facies sub talibus principibus fuisset, nam 

Mobile mutatur semper cum principe vulgus.

advocavi, nec Henricum Huntintoniae comitem Davidis filium Mal-

ABBANUS, B. Sve BOoNIFACIUS and 
CHARMAIG. 


ABBE, V. See EBA. 


ACCA, B., C. February 19. Bishop 
of Hexham, circa 740.—Acca, the dis- 
ciple of Boso, who went to Rome with 
S. Wilfrid, succeeded him in the see of 
Hagustald or Hexham. He was bishop 
there when Beda, whose friend he was, 
closes his history. Some events of his 
life are given in Beda’s Eccles. History, 
lib. v. e. 20; see also iii 13; iv. 14; 
v. 19, 20. There exists among that 
author’s works a letter of Acca to 
him, in which he exhorts him to illus- 
trate the Sacred Scriptures, especially 
the Gospel of S. Luke.—(Cave, Hist. Lit. 
vol i p. 619 a, Oxon. 1740.) Other 
events of his life are given by Simeon of 
Durham and Richard of Hexham. A 
part of his chasuble was kept among the 
relics at Durham.—(Index Reliquiarum 
Eccl. Dunelm, Appendix to Smith's 
Beda, p. 741.) 

Acca appears in the Scottish Kalen- 
dars of Dempster and Camerarius. The 
first, at August 6, has “In Galloway the 
day of Blessed Acta, Bishop of Candida 
Casa.” The latter, at January 16, has 
“Blessed Accas, Actas, Arcas, Bishop of 
Hexham in England, and of Candida 
Casa in Scotland.” His claim to a place 
in Scottish Martyrologies is asserted by 


his having “prepared” theSee of Candida 
Casa, to use the words of Richard of 
Hexham, and, further, supported by 
the ingenious speculation of Mr. W. F. 
Skene, who, having regard to the dedi- 
cations of the respective churches, and to 
the mysterious account of Acca’s absence 
for two years, no ofe knew where, sup- 
poses that he was the founder of one of 
the Christian settlements at S. Andrews. 
—(See Notice of Early Eccl. Settlements 
at S. Andrews, by W. F. Skene, 
Proceed. Antiq. Soc. Scot., iv. p. 314.) 


ADAM, B. Sept. 15. Bishop of 
Caithness, A.D. 1222.—The early eccle- 
siastical history of Caithness is involved 
in extreme obscurity. Both tradition 
and the dedication of the churches, 
indicated by the names of S. Barr, S. 
Ciaran, and $. Fergus, point to an 
original Irish Christian civilisation ; on 
the other hand, the traces of Norse in- 
fluence are those of rapine and violence. 
With the exception of an interesting 
paper preserved at Dunrobin (Orig. Par. 
vol. ii. pref. p. xix.), describing the con- 
stitution of the Chapter of the Cathe- 
dral there are no very early docu- 
ments which belong to it. Even the 
precise time of the creation of the 
bishopric is unknown. The first authen- 
tic evidence of its existence is a charter 
of King David, in which he makes 
known to all his subjects, “French, 


262 


English, and Scotch” (francis, anglicis, 
et scottis), that, for the extension of 
God’s house, and the propagation of 
holy religion, he had bestowed Urchard 
on the Abbot and Monks of Dunfermlyn. 
—(Regist. de Dunfermelyn, p. 18.) This 
is attested by Bishop Andrew (of Caith- 
ness), who had been himself a monk 
of that abbey, and who died there in 
1185. The condition of Caithness 
seems to have been very barbarous. The 
Norse earls made it their battle-ground 
(Orkneyinga Saga, p. 407 ; Torfzus, lib. i. 
38). The power of the Scottish monarchs 
was feeble, although that of the Pope 
made itself felt in these extreme regions. 
—(Ep. Innocentii IIL lib. v. No. 77.) 
In an attempted mediation between the 
Caithness men, who had submitted to 
the king, and the Norse earls, the next 
bishop, John, was cruelly mutilated 
(Fordun, Scotichron. lib. viii. c. 62, vol. 
i p. 516, Ed. Goodall) ; and the fate of 
Adam, who came after him, was still 
more terrible. 

According to Fordun, “after many 
sufferings, he merited the society of the 
saints, along with his monk Serlo. 
After the fierce threats of the impious, 
after the marks of the blows and cruel 
wounds, after the beating of a James, and 
the stoning of a Stephen, he underwent 
the fire of a Lawrence, and was burnt in 
hisown houseat Halkirke, where his body, 
roasted with fire and livid with bruises, 
was found entire under a heap of stones, 
and honourably buried in the church.” 
Fordun places this within the week of the 
Octav. of the Nat. of the B. V., 1221. 
The cause of this outrage was that he 
exacted “his tithes and other ecclesi- 
astical dues.” John, Earl of Caithness, 


ADAM. 


because he neglected to succour the 
bishop, was held an accomplice, and 
mulcted by King Alexander in a large 
sum of money, and in a large part of 
his dominions. 

Camerarius (De fortitudine Scoto- 
rum, p. 173), with his usual careless- 
ness, refers to a bull of consecration by 
Pope Celestine IV. Pope Celestine 
IV. died before he was consecrated, and 
neither the Bullarium Magnum nor 
Theiner's Documenta contain any bull 
by him; yet that Bishop Adam was re- 
garded as a saint may be learnt from 
the terms in which Fordun speaks of 
him. Fordun, however, is not correct 
in his date by one year. Adam, who was 
Abbot of Melrose, was elected on the 5th 
of August 1213, and consecrated on the 
llth of May 1214. The Orkneyinga 
Saga says that he was a foundling. 
King William sent him to enforce the 
tithes in Caithness. The usage was to 
take a span of butter for every twenty 
cows. Adam raised the payment, ex- 
acting that span first from fifteen, then 
from twelve, and at last from ten. The 
people rose in rebellion, and the Earl 
refused to compose the dissension. The 
populace rushed to the place where 
the bishop and his party were drink- 
ing. Serlo was first murdered, and 
the bishop, according to the Saga, 
wished to compromise the matter, 
but the people in their rage consigned 
him to the flames on the octave of the 
Nat. B. V. M., 1222.—(Records of the 
Bishopric of Caithness, prefatory notice 
by Cosmo Innes, Esq.; Bannatyne Mis- 
cellany, vol. iii. p. 9.) 

The rapacity of the clergy at this time 
is attested by many of the documents 


ADAM. 


of the period. The Annales Monastici, 
edited by H. R. Luard, such as the An- 
nales Prioratüs de Dunstapli& (London, 
Longmans, 1866), exhibit the terms on 
which the great abbeys stood with their 
neighbours. Excommunications often 
followed on the refusal to pay ecclesias- 
ticaldues. At a later epoch, it is Chau- 
cer's commendation of the good Parson, 


** Ful loth were him to cursen for his tithes." 


ADAM of LEWENAX. Circa A.D. 
1262.—It is hardly possible to exag- 
gerate the power of the reforma- 
tion which owed its existence to the 
rise of the Cistercian Order. Never, 
perhaps, has an influence so purely 
spiritual been brought to bear upon the 
world. It was in no sense like the 
establishment of the Franciscans and 
Dominicans, or again of the Protestant 
Reformation, a question of religious or 
secular politics. It was as purely re- 
ligious as anything on the human side 
of the Church can be, The fresh hopes 
of humanity, now that men had ceased 
to fear the end of the world at the con- 
clusion of the one thousand years after 
Christ; the devotional aspect of the 
crusading spirit, exhibiting itself in a 
tender and reverential love for the 
sacred scenes of our Lord’s converse 
on earth ; the practical results of the 
great struggle between the Church and 
the Empire in the question of the inves- 
titures ; the social effects of the daily 
increasing consolidation of the feudal 
system ; all predisposed men’s minds 
for a great reform, which received its 
direction from the winning and com- 
manding genius of S. Bernard. The 
collision with Abelard gave it an intel- 


263 


lectual direction, and the ideas of the 
time expressed themselves in stone and 
lime in the sublimest forms of the first- 
pointed Gothic. 

Scotland felt the influence profoundly. 
Not to speak of the three abbeys of the 
Cistercian Reform of Vallis Caulium— 
viz., Pluscardine, Beauly,and Ardchattan, 
we have to point to thirteen abbeys for 
men—viz., Melrose, Newbottle, Holmcul- 
tram, Dundrennan, Kinloss, Coupar, Glen- 
luce, Saddel, Culros, Deer, Balmerinoch, 
Sweetheart, and Mauchline ; and to thir- 
teen houses for women—viz., Berwick, 
S. Bothan, Three Fountains, Elbottle, 
Gulane, Coldstream, Eccles, Manuel, 
Haddington, North Berwick, Elcho, S. 
Leonards near Perth, and S. Mary's 
Wynd in Edinburgh, as evidence of the 
power and popularity of the great order ; 
while the spiritual condition of these, at 
least in the time of their first fervour, 
is best indicated by such exquisite bio- 
graphies as Joceline’s Life of S. Ken- 
tigern, and S. JZElred's Life of S. 
Ninian (assuming that itis really to be 
attributed to him), in which the actions 
of the early saints are clothed in the 
language of the twelfth century, and the 
turn of expression modelled on the Vulgate 
version of the Scriptures, Evidences 
of an extraordinary sanctity also occur 
in the historical notices of some of the 
earlier abbots and monks, such as the 
subject of this present notice. 

Adam was a Cistercian of great holi- 
ness in Melrose, who for twenty years 
never lay upon a bed, but slept sitting or 
lying before the altar of the Blessed 
Virgin, in her chapel at Old Melrose, at 
the door of which in the day-time he 
recited the Psalter, and bestowed alms on 


264 


the poor who visited the sanctuary. He 
gave his benediction to all his visitors, 
and among these to King Alexander II. 
— (Chronica de Mailros, pp. 188-9.) 


ADAMANNUS, January 31. Post 
A.D. 686 (Camerarius de Fort. p. 74).— 
Adamannus, of the Irish race, was a 
monk at Coldingham in the time of 8. 
Ebba, who, having in his youth been 
guilty of some wicked action, for which, 
when he came to himself, he conceived 
an extraordinary horror, betook himself 
to an lrish confessor, who, after im- 
posing on him a life of penance (in which 
he was to eat only twice a week), re- 
tired to his native land and died. 
Adamannus took the fact of his never 
returning as a voice from God to con- 
tinue his penance through life, “and as 
he had begun that course through fear 
of God, in penitence for his fault, so he 
still continued the same unremittingly 
for the divine love and in hope of his 
reward. On viewing the lofty buildings 
of Coldingham he burst into tears, and 
on being interrogated as to the cause, 
he told a vision he had had, in which 
the burning down of the abbey was 
prophesied, because both the men and 
women (it was, like Sempringham, for both 
sexes) indulged in too much sleep, the 
little houses built for prayer were con- 
verted into places for feasting, drinking, 
talking, and other delights; the very dedi- 
cated virginsapplying themselvesto weave 
fine garments, either to adorn themselves 
or gain theadmiration of strange men. He 
told S. Ebba, but added that the evil 
was not to take place in her days. The 
nuns repented, but afterwards returned 
to their former wickedness, and the doom 


ADAMANNUS—ADAMNAN, 


fell upon the monasteryas it was threat- 
ened.” —(Beeda, lib. iv.c. 25. Vide Acta 
Sanct., Jan. 1, fol. 738.) 


ADAMNAN, Abbot, September 23, 
A.D. 704.—The name of this great saint 
and author, to whom the antiquary 
owes so much with regard to a most 
important chapter in the history of the 
Church, and whose contribution to 
ecclesiastical annals is so valuable, occurs 
under various modifications. Aunan, 
Eunan, Onan,  Eonan, Ounan, in 
Ireland; Theunan, Skeulan, Teunan, 
Eonan, Fidamnan, Eunende, Arnold, 
Arnty, in Scotland, are corruptions of a 
name written indifferently Adamnanus, 
Adampnanus or Adomnanus, Edheu- 
nanus, Eudananus, Odanodanus, and sup- 
posed to signify the little Adam.—(See 
Adamnani Vita S. Columbz, Dr. Reeves’ 
edition, pp. xl. and 256, 342.) 

His biography in the Breviary of 
Aberdeen (part. est. fol 114) is taken 
from an Irish life, of which a copy is 
preserved among the O’Clery MSS. at 
Brussels, and is to the effect that he was 
of the noble race of Cinal, his pedigree 
being as follows :— 


Conall Gulban. 

daba Cennfada Niala. 
Sedna Enna. 
re Barrindan. 
Acl Duach. 
Tine Seghine. 
de : Ronnat. 
Adamnan 


S. Columba presignified his birth, and 
gave him the monastic habit (a gross 


ADAMNAN. 


anachronism), and sent him to Lismore. 
On the death of Abbot Failbhe he was 
elected in his stead, and ruled the con- 
vent wisely, distinguished by virtues and 
miracles. Defeating the Evil One, he 
made himself a cell in his old age 
where he might more freely bestow 
himself upon God. One day, not ap- 
pearing at the Divine office, the brethren 
found him consoled by the vision of a 
Boy of exquisite beauty. At length, 
he came to the end of his pilgrimage, 
and blessing the people, and refreshed 
by the Sacred Viaticum, he rendered 
his soul to God, and was buried in Hy. 
The vision of the Child Jesus is nar- 
tated at length in the Martyrology of 
Donegal, p. 255, Ed. Todd. The Mar- 
tyrology adds that the glory of heaven 
and the pains of hell were revealed to 
him as contained in the Vision of Adam- 
nan, which is still preserved in the 
Leabhar nah Uidhre, and in the Leabhar 
Breac. His Life of S. Columba is the 
solitary record of a portion of the history 
of the Church of Scotland, and, with 
the exception of Beda and the Pictish 
Chronicle, the chief trustworthy monu- 
ment till we come to the Margaretan 
reformation, He also wrote from the 
dictation of Arculphus an account of the 
Holy Land. It is given by Mabillon 
from the Corbey and Vatican MSS., and 
from a printed copy bythe Jesuit Gretser, 
—(Acta SS. O. Ben. part. ii. p. 456.) 
He is said to have written a Life of S. 
Patrick, some poems, a festology, a 
history of Ireland, and an epitome of 
its laws. 

According to the Annals of Ulster, S. 
Adamnan was born in A.D. 624 (623). 
In his youth he had relations with Fin- 


265 


nachta the Festive, King of Ireland, 
eventually becoming his “ soul’s friend,” 
or confessor. He professed at Hy dur- 
ing the Abbacy of Segine. A voyage 
to obtain timber for the Monastery is 
the only event we know of his ordinary 
monastic life.—(Adamnani Vita S. Col- 
umbe, Reeves’ Ed. p. 177.) In 679 
he was chosen Abbot at the age of 
fifty-five. Being the teacher of the 
exiled Aldfrid of Northumberland, he 
was successfully employed to negotiate 
the ransom of some Irish captives in 
688. On a second visit to North- 
umberland, two years after, he became 
the advocate of the Catholic tonsure 
and Easter. He frequently visited his 
native land, eg. in 692, when “Qua- 
tuordecim annos post pausam Failbei ad 
Hiberniam pergit ;” and in 697, on 
which latter occasion, Dedit legem inno- 
centium populis, ?.e. women were forbid- 
den to take part in battles.—(Reeves' 
Adamnan, p. 178, note) A “Synod 
under the Abbot’s auspices" was held at 
Tara, when the Cain Adamnain or 
Canons of Adamnan was enacted. The 
last seven years of his life, with occa- 
sional visits to his monastery, seem to 
have been spent in Ireland, where he 
continued to advocate the Catholic 
Easter. He died in 704. His relics 
were carried into Ireland, and his law 
renewed in 727 (726). The relics were 
restored to Hy.—(Skene’s Chronicles of 
Picts and Scots, pp. 74, 355.) The Mar- 
tyrology of Aberdeen states that they 
were there in 1520. 

His chief churches in Scotland were 
—1, Furvi, where the ruins of his chapel 
stand in the middle of a plantation of 
stunted firs and alders, on a little emi- 


2M 


266 


nence rising from a swampy bottom, 
with a rivulet enclosing it on the north 
side—(N. S. A., Aberdeenshire, p. 593) ; 
2. Forglen or Teunan-kirk ; 3. Aboyne, 
where are the Skeulan Tree and the 
Skeulan Well; 4. Tannadice, where we 
have S. Arnold's Seat; 5. Sanda, the 
Insula Awyn; 6. Killeunan, in the 
parish of Kilkerran, in Cantyre ; 7. Dal- 
meny, where was his chantry ; 8. Camp- 
sie, where there is S. Adamnan's Acre ; 
9. Kinneff, where is an old house called 
S. Amty's Cell; and 10. Dull, where 
we find the Feil Eonan, a fair held 
on October 6 (see Reeves’ Ancient 
Churches of Armagh, p. 47), the Tober- 
Eonan, in the garden of the Manse; 
while farther down the glen there is 
Craig-Euny, Market-Euny, and a natural 
fissure in the rock called the Footmark 
ofS. Eonan. The Church of Grantully is 
dedicated to him along with the Blessed 
Virgin, S. Andrew, and S. Beanus (see 
Sir William Stewarts Red Book of 
Grantully, p. 77.) His popularity in 
Scotland may have been increased by 
his prophecy that Scotland was to 
extend from the Tyne northward, which 
was supposed to be fulfilled in Kenneth 
Macalpin (Fordun's Scotichron. vol. i. p. 
188; ed. Goodall). At Durham a figure 
on the altar-screen of S. Jerome has this 
inscription, “ Sanctus Adampnanus mon- 
achus et abbas."—4(Rites of Durham, etc., 
p. 115, Surtees Society.) 


ADAMNANUS.—Fordun, describing 
Inchkeith, which is probably the Urbs 
Giudi of Beda, says, that an Abbot 
Adamnan presided in it, who honour- 
ably received S. Servanus with - his 
companions in the island, at his first

arrival in Scotland. The Cupar MS. 
makes him bestow upon him the island 
on Lochleven.—(Fordun, lib. i. c. 6. t. i. 
p. 6; Ussher's Wks., vol. vi., 221; Chron. 
Index,488. See also the Life of S. Ser- 
vanus, in Chronicles of the Picts and 
Scots, p. 416.) 


ADAMNANUS. January 23.—Came- 
rarius, on the authority of Boethius, lib. 
ix., at this day gives an Adamannus, coun- 
cillor of Eugenius VI. in his treaty with 
Brudeus, King of the Picts. His relics 
are preserved in Moray, as Fordun testi- 
fies in his history. On this the Bollan- 
dist remarks, “S, Adamannus, Eug. VI. 
Scotorum Regis, preceptor. Ita David 
Camerarius. Non est hic alius ab Adam- 
nano Hyense, de quo 23 Sept.—(Acta 
Sanct., Jan., tom. iii. p. 66.) 


ADRIAN and his Companions, Mar- 
tyrs. March 4.—The account of these 
Saints in the Breviary of Aberdeen is 
as follows :—S. Adrian was born in the 
parts of Hungary and province of Panno- 
nia; he was of royal descent, and of 
episcopal rank ; his diligence in the 
sacred order being testified by the many 
clerics and seculars who were his com- 
panions.  Desiring to benefit other 
nations, and inflamed with zeal for the 
Christian religion, he betook himself to 
the eastern parts of Scotia, then occupied 
by the Piets, having along with him 
6606 companions, among whom the most 
notable were Glodianus, who was 
crowned with martyrdom, Gayus, and 
Monanus, white-robed confessors, Sto- 
brandus and other bishops, adorned with 
the mitre. The names of the rest are 
written in purple blood in the book 


ADRIAN. 


of life. These did many signs and 
wonders in the midst of the Picts, but 
at length desiring a habitation of their 
own, they expelled the demons and wild 
beasts from the Island of Maya, and 
there made a place of prayer. They 
occupied themselves in devotion until 

“the Danes, who had devastated all 
Britannia, which is now called Anglia, 
landed on the island, when the holy con- 
fessors of God opposed them with the 
spiritual weapons of the heavenly warfare. 
The enemy not brooking this, fell vio- 
lently on the blessed Adrian, the victim 
of the Lord, with swords, and crowned 
him with a glorious martyrdom; and in 
order that concerning them the words of 
the prophet should be verified anew, where 
the disconsolate Rachel is said to have 
bewailed her children, these most 
cruel executioners made an attack upon 
that holy and heavenly multitude who 
persevered in the confession of Christ,and 
who, like sheep, fell before their swords 
in the Isle of May, where the martyrs 
of God, who in this life loved to serve 
Him together, in death were not sepa- 
rated. There was one spirit in them and 
one faith. In that Isle of May there 
was anciently erected a monastery of 
fair coursed masonry (tabulatu), which 
was destroyed by the Angles, but the 
church remains to this day much visited 
for its miracles by the people, and thither 
women come in hopes of offspring. 
There is also a celebrated cemetery, where 
the bodies of the martyrs repose. 

It is well known that in ap. 795 
the ravages of the Danes in Ireland, 
and their attacks on the monasteries, 
drove into exile many of the ecclesiastics. 
The Irish clergy were very fondof leaving 


267 


their homes for foreign parts, and their 
irregular ministrations were the sub- 
ject of much church legislation (Con- 
cil. Cabillon. A.D. 813, Canon 43; Concil. 
Cealeyth. A.D. 816, Canon 5; Concil 
Meldense, A.D. 845, Canon 10). It is pro- 
bable that S. Adrian was one of these. 
Kenneth macAlpin (A.D. 840-855) had 
transferred the bishopric of the Picts 
from Abernethy to Cill-Righmonaigh, 
now the Church of S. Rule at St. Andrews. 
But it is not likely that an Irishman, in 
antagonism to a member of the stronger 
race of the Picts, should have been ap- 
pointed to the high political office of 
chief bishop in Pictland. Adrian was 
doubtless a bishop without a see, accord- 
ing to a discipline then very prevalent in 
his native country.—(Todd's S. Patrick, 
pp. 36-48.) 

One does not see why Pannonia or 
Hungary should be the locality whence 
the Irish saint is said to have come, 
unless, as was not uncommon in those un- 
critical ages,a confusion arising from simi- 
larity of name was the cause. The 4th 
of March in the kalendars of the Catholic 
Church is assigned to a S. Adrian of 
Nicomedia, and in the Brussels Auc- 
tarium of Usuardus, we find a S, Gagius, 
who seems to correspond with the 
Gayus of the Aberdeen legend. * Apud 
Nicomediam natale beati Adriani cum 
aliis viginti tribus qui omnes sub Diocle- 
tiano post multa supplicia crurifragio 
martyrium consummaverunt. Ipso die 
passio S. Gagii Palatini in mare mersi 
et aliorum viginti septem.”—(Usuard. ed. 
Sollerius, Antwerp, 1714, p. 138.) On the 
5th of March in Usuardus (ed Molanus, 
p. 139), there is * Cesarez Palestine 
Sancti Adriani martyres" But the 


268 


saint with whom we have to do is 
he whom Usuardus describes as, “ in 
Hibernia, Sancti Moggrudonis Episcopi 
et confessoris hactenus ignoti" The 
honorific “ mo " added to the Celtic name 
Odran gives a name similar to Macgidran, 
to whom are dedicated the churches of 
Lindores and Flisk, where he appears as 
S. Muggins, both within the parochia of 
S. Andrew.—(N. 8. A, Fife, p. 601.) 
Here he appears also as Muckolinus.— 
(Commissary Records, St. Andrews.) He 
appears in the dedication of a church 
near Dron, Exmacgirdle ; also, possibly, at 
Mugdrum ; and as Magidrin he appears 
in Maeduff's Cross. There is a S, Odran 
at March 6th in the Martyrology of 
Donegal  Fordun makes the number 
of S. Adrian's companions to be one 
hundred. The legend has this measure 
of corroboration—First, that there was 
a fight between the Scots and Danes 
in 875, the very year to which the 
martyrdom of S. Adrian is referred. 
Occisi sunt Scoti co Achcochlam (Pict. 
Chron.) Secondly, the number of bishops 
—— summi sacerdotes infula decorati" 
—is quite in accordance with ancient 
Irish use.—(Todd's S. Patrick, p. 27.) 
Mr. Skene draws attention to Boece’s 
statement that the martyrs were “ex 
Scotis Anglisque gregarie collectis;” and 
surmises that the Angles may have re- 
presented the Church of Acca, who, 
driven from Northumberland, had 
founded a bishopric among the Picts in 
A.D. 732, and the Scotti or Irish, the 
Church of Adrian, who, in some of 
the lists, is placed at the head of the 
bishops of S. Andrews.—(See Records 
of the Priory of the Isle of May, 
edited by John Stuart, LL.D., 1868;

ments at S. Andrews, by W. F. Skene, 
in Proceedings of Society of Antiquaries 
of Scotland, vol. iv. p. 316.) 


AELRED. January 12, A.p. 1166. 
—S. Aelred (otherwise called Ailredus, 
Alredus, ZElredus, Elredus, Adelredus, 
Adilredus, Altredus, Athelredus, Ealre- 
dus, Hailredus, Eleredus, Ethelredus, Alu- 
redus, Ealfredus, and Valredus), passed 
his noviciate at Rievaulx, and then 
betook himself to the Scottish court, 
where King David would have promoted 
him to the episcopate, but he preferred 
to return to his monastery, where he 
assumed the habit. He was first made 
Abbot of Revesby and then of Rievaulx, 
where he was afilicted with a sore 
disease of stone and arthritica passio. 
He wrote the lives of S. David and S. 
Margaret, thirty-two homilies on the 
burden of Babylon, three books on 
spiritual heirship, ten books on the 
nature of the soul, and many letters. 
He went into Galloway, at that time 
most barbarous—bestiales homines et 
barbarum omne quod gignit—where he 
converted the ferocious prince. Worn 
out with austerities and disease, he died 
in the 57th year of his age.—(See his 
life in Capgrave's Legenda Aurea ; also 
Acta Sanct., Jan. tom. i. p. 748.) 


AGNES.—In 1270, in the autumn, 
Agnes de Burnevyle, à young lady in 
bad health, living at Spot in family 
with her widowed mother, and loving 
virginity, petitioned that the Friars 
should be summoned from Haddington, 
On their arrival, she made her confession, 
and publicly took avow of perpetual chas- 
tity. That night, as the two brethren, 


AIDAN—ALBUINUS. 


dismissed to a certain chapel to rest, 
had the heads of their couches arranged 
at the steps of the altar, and, conversing 
among themselves concerning God, held 
vigil, they suddenly heard a voice, 
sharply but not.loudly, exclaiming 
thrice, Arise, she is just departing! Both 
heard the sound, and on entering the hall 
found her just expiring, and commending 
her to God, sent forth her immaculate 
spirit to him.—(Chron. de Lanercost, p. 
90. Bannat. Club Edition.) 


AIDAN, B. C. August 31, A.D. 
651.—'The legend of S. Aidan, in 
the Breviary of Aberdeen, is founded 
on the narrative of Bzda.—(Hist. 
Eccles. iii. 14-17, v. 24) It relates his 
mission to Northumbria on the return 
of the more austere bishop who had 
failed, his reception by King Oswald 
who interpreted for him, his erection of 
various churches, and his death after 
seventeen years’ episcopate. It also 
gives the account of the vision of 
S. Cuthbert at the hour of his death. 
The Martyrology of Aberdeen thus 
records it:—“In Britannia transitus 
Sti. Aydani primi Lindesfernensis epis- 
copi et confessoris cujus animam Sanctus 
Cuthbertus vidit in celis ab angelis 
deferri.” The Felire of Aingus has 

* Aedan in grian gelde.” 

In the Irish Kalendars he is said to be 
the son of Lughar, of the race of Eochaidh 
Finn Fuath-nairt, of whom Brigid de- 
scends. He was bishop at Inis Cathaigh 
(Farne, now Scattery Island, co. Clare), and 
at Inis Medcoit (Lindisfarne), in the north- 
west (east) of Little Saxonland ; and itwas 
on a pilgrimage that Aedan went to Inis 
Medcoit. He died in 651 according to

The churches of Cambusnethan 
(Commissary Records, Glasgow) and of

Near to the latter church used to be 
S. Iten’s well, celebrated for the cure of 
asthma and cutaneous diseases.—(Jer- 
vise’s Land of the Lindsays, p. 241, 
Edin. 1853.) In the immediate vicinity 
is Come’s Well, no doubt named after St. 
Colman. At Fearn is Aiden’s Well.

ALBUINUS, B. November 29.— 
The Latinising of the Celtic names of the 
saints and scholars of Ireland is very 
interesting. The uncouth sounds were 
softened into something more har- 
monious ; unknown words were assimi- 
lated to recognised appellatives bearing 
some analogy to them. Thus Cellach 
became Celsus, Maelmaedhog Malachias, 


270 


Ferghal Virgilius, and so on. Some- 
times the same Latin word served for 
two Scotic ones. Thus Marianus is 
either Maelbrigde or Muiredhach, as we 
find in the case of the two well-known 
men of that name, Marianus Scotus of 
Mainz and Marianus of Regensburg ; 
although sometimes Muiredhach makes 
Marinus.—(See Reeves’ Tract on SS. 
Anianus and Marinus, in Proc. R. I. A.) 
It is impossible to ascertain what native 
word is hidden under Albinus or 
Albuinus. Probably Fionan of Novem- 
ber 25, from Fionn, Albus. Of him 
Camerarius says — S. Albinus was 
bishop and confessor. He entered the 
monastery of Hy. Camerarius, p. 199, 
quoting Trithemius de Viris Illustr. 
Ord. S. Benedicti, Lib. 4, p. 529, of the 
edit. of the Rule of S. Ben. 1575 :—* De 
Albuino Episcopo Frislariensi cap. cxe. 
Albuinus monachus  Huensis insule 
egressus de Hybernia predicationis 
causa venit in Thuringiam, ubi cum sua 
preedicatione dulcissima multos ad Chris- 
tum convertisset gentilium, a summo 
pontifice Frislariensis Episcopus ordina- 
tus est, ubi multis virtutibus et signis 
clarus effulsit. Episcopatus autem illius 
gentis dudum cessavit." Trithemius, 
being abbot of the Scots Monastery of 
S. James at Wurzburg, was likely to 
have ascertained the fact of the exist- 
ence of this saint. 


ALEXANDER. August 6.—Came- 
rarius (De Fort. 166) gives a doubtful 
saint of the name, who, being the son of 
a king of Scotland, joined the Cistercian 
order in France. He was brother of a 
Saint Mathildis. There is a fair of S. 
Alexander at Keith. 


ALEXANDER—ANGUS. 


ALLOCUS, B. & C. December 23.— 
The Martyrology of Aberdeen on the 
23d December gives us the com- 
memoration “Sancti Alloci Episcopi." 
The Irish Calendars have, at the same 
day, Mocheallog, and there can be little 
doubt that Allocus is a mutilated and 
arbitrary form of Mochallocus. Kilmal- 
lock, in the county of Limerick, is in 
Irish Cill-Mochtealloig. 


ALOYNE.—The church of Clyne, 
built in 1770, stands on the site of an old 
one dedicated to a saint locally styled 
S. Aloyne, on a declivity near the coast, 
about a mile and a half eastward from 
the water of Brora.— (Orig. Par. ii. 
723, quoting MS. Maps in Adv. Lib.; 
Geographia Blaviana ; O. S. A. ; N.S. 
A.; County Maps; Genealogy of Earls 
of Sutherland pp. 3, 7, 9.) 


ANAGLAS.—The Legend of S. An- 
drew, A.D. 1279, states that the three 
virgins from Colossia—Triduana, Poten- 
tia, and Cineria— were buried at the 
church of S. Anaglas in S. Andrews. 


ANGUS.—At Balwhidder we find 
the local tradition of a saint of this 
name, supposed to be a disciple of S. 
Columba. 'The name is preserved in 
Clach-Aenais (“ stone of Aengus”), a slab 
on which, till within a century, the 
natives preferred to be married and 
baptized; the Oirinn-Aenais, the founda- 
tion of a chapel near the church ; the 
Feill-Aenais, being a fair held at King’s- 
house; and the Beonach-Aenais, a hillock 
where the saint was believed to have 
preached.—(Stuart, Sculptured Stones 
of Scotland, vol. ii. p. 33.) 


ANNET—ASEPH. 


ANNET.—* In the north end of the 
island of Calligray there are faint traces 
of a very ancient building, called Team- 
pull na H'Annait, the temple of Annat, 
& goddess mentioned by mythologists as 
having for her particular province the 
eare of young maidens. Near the tem- 
ple is a well of water, called Tobar na 
H'Annait, and the point of land on which 
it is situated is called Ri na H'Annait." 
—(O. S. A. vol. x. p. 375, vol. xx. p. 
89; N. S. A. vol. xiv. part i. 305.) 
Probably this is the corruption of the 
name of some saint. Annat is an Irish 
term denoting the church in which the 
patron saint was educated. "There is the 
Ennet or Ennell Sandbank at Montrose. 
—(Jervise’s Memorials of Angus and 
Mearns, p. 69.) 


APOLLINARIUS.—“ On the lands 
of Manar the now ruinous chapel of S. 
Apolonarius, the patron saint of the 
parish, stood. The farm is thence 
by corruption called Polander. One of 
the two annual fairs formerly held in 
the parish was called Polander Fair.” 
—(N. S. A. xii. Aberdeen, 682.) Poly- 
andrium was a word denoting a cemetery. 
The oldest inhabitant knows nothing of 
any fair of that name, nor are there any 
traditions of the saint preserved at 
Inverurie. However, two extracts (the 
first from a translation of the charter 
of Queen Mary, granted to the Burgh 
of Inverurie, confirming it in its pri- 
vileges as a Royal Burgh, and dated the 
29d June 1558, the second from a char- 
ter of King James VI. to the same burgh, 
dated 29th July 1587) are subjoined. 

ls. “ With free fairs yearly on the 
feasts of the Nativity of the ever-blessed 


271 


and glorious Virgin Mary and S&S. 
Apollonaris, and during the octaves of 
the same.” 

2d. “To hold and have in the said 
burgh . . . two common and free markets 
yearly, one of them on the day of the 
month of July, called the day of S. 
Apollinaris, and the other the eighth day 
of the month of September called the 
day of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, 
each market for the space of eight days.” 
Unfortunately the date of S. Apollinaris’ 
day is left blank in the charter, so it 
would appear that if there is doubt about 
it now, there was the same doubt in 
King James’s time. S. Pollinar’s fair is 
in the Edinburgh almanacs of the end 
of the seventeenth century. 


ARNOLD and ARNTY.—See ADAM- 
NAN. 


ASEPH. May 1, B. av. 590.— 
The Martyrology of Aberdeen celebrates 
on the first of May the feast of S. Aseph, 
the disciple of S. Kentigern. Molanus has 
* In Scotia S. Asaphi Episcopi, de cujus 
nomine nune vocatur episcopatus S. 
Asaph."—(Usuard. ad diem.) The only 
trace of his cultus in Scotland is in 
the parish of Strath in the Isle of Skye, 
in which there is a chapel called Asheg. 
* There can be no doubt that it was pri- 
marily dedicated to S. Aseph. 

Among the excellent springs with which 
this parish abounds, one is considered 
superior to all and is called Tobar 
Asheg, or S. Aseph's Well."—(N. S. A. 
xxxi p. 305) Killasaph (Kilasine).— 
(Orig. Par. vol. ii parti. p.377.) There 
was a S. Assicus in Ireland. In the 
island of Berneray is a ruin called in 
the vitiated pronunciation of the people 


272 


Cill Aisaim.—(O. S. A., vol. x. p. 377.) 
Kilassie, or Kilhassie, is an old burial 
place near Loch Rannoch. 

When S. Kentigern was recalled to 
Glasgow, he appointed S. Asaph to rule 
the religious institution which he had 
founded on the bank of the Elwy in 
South Wales, and which contained 
nearly one thousand monks. Three 
hundred illiterate ones were employed 
in agriculture. Three hundred more 
worked in the monastery, and three 
hundred and sixty-five kept up the 
divine psalmody day and night. 

The Bollandists (Mar. tom. i. p. 82)° 
refer, as the chief authority, to the 
Lections in the Breviary of Aberdeen, 
the main part of which is taken up 
with the account of his bringing the 
fire in his bosom to warm his master. 
A sentence, manifestly added to the 
original legend, makes 8. Kentigern's 
return to Scotland to follow on his being 
ordained at Rome. 


ASSIND. “The parish (of Bracadale) 
contains the sites and vestiges of various 
cemeteries and places of worship. To 
one of these, styled the chapel of S. 
Assint, in Brackadaile, the Bishop of 
the Isles presented Master John Mack- 
rimon in 1632."—(Orig. Par. vol. ii. part 
i p. 357, with reference to Macleod 
Charters.)

AULA. February 7.—S. Aula, to 
whom the church of Gress in the island of 
Lewis is dedicated (N. S. A., Ross and 
Cromarty, p. 115), is probably S. Olave, 


ASSIND—AYLE. 


although he may have been the S. Au- 
gulus or Aule, who occurs in the Martyr- 
ologies at the 7th of February. “In 
Britannis civitate Augusta, natalis 
beati Auguli Episcopi, qui cursum tem- 
poris per martyrium explens, sterna 
meruit suscipere preemia,"—(Usuard. ad 
diem.) He is given by Dempster incor- 
rectly in his text, correctly in his index. 


AULACHY. — “There is another 
church in the parish (of Little Dun- 
keld), that of Laganallachy, which name 
may signify the valley for burying, 
from the two Gaelic words Lagan and 
Adblaen: or it may be connected with 
Aulachy, a traditionary saint.”—(N. S. 
A., vol. x. p. 1014; see also O. S. A, 
vol vi p. 354.) This is probably 8. 
ALLOCUS, q. v. 


AYLE. August 30, A.D. cir. 650.—In 
Easter Anstruther there is still standing 
an anclent tenement called S. Ayle's 
House, where, till lately, there were the 
remains of a chapel. There is S. Ayle's 
aere, on which the Free Kirk manse is 
built. 'The site was probably that 
granted by William de Candela, Lord of 
Aynstrothir, to the abbot and convent 
of Balmerino in 1221. A brief from 
Rome of Paul IIL in.1527 mentions 
the acre of S. Ayle or Yle, “nec non 
capella Sancti Ylze." 

Inthe Balmerinoch Chartulary there is 
an indenture between Abbot John de 
Hayles and Henry [Wardlaw], Bishop 
of S. Andrews, as to the administration 
of the sacraments in the chapel of S. 
Ali. This S. Ayle's Chapel of Bal- 
merino was situated to the north of the 
manor-house at Balmerino. 


BALDRED. 


Dr. Stuart identifies this saint with 
S. Agilus, son of Agnoald, a courtier of 
Childebert IL, who was consecrated to 
religion at Luxeuil under S. Columbanus 
and S. Eustatius. After interceding 
with King Thierri to stop Brunhilda’s 
persecution of the Irish monks occa- 
sioned by their laws against the intru- 
sion of women into the church, he went 
with S. Eustatius to preach the Gospel 
to the infidels who lived on the further 
side of Mount Jura, penetrating to 
Bavaria. Then he was recalled to 
govern Rebais, near Meaux, where he 
died, aged 66.—(See Mabillon, Acta 
SS. Ord. S. Bened. tom. ii. p. 316-326 ; 
Chart. Balmerinoch, p. 63, seqq.) 


BALDRED, H. March 6, A.D. 608.— 
One of the most striking and picturesque 
forms of Celtic Christianity is that which 
is supplied by the Island Saints. Thesame 
aspect of religion which peopled the 
deserts of Egypt with the followers of S. 
Anthony and S. Paul, filled the storm- 
beaten islets of the Atlantic and German 
oceans with solitaries, who, amid the 
roaring of the waves and the screams of 
the sea-birds, sang praises to God and 
practised austerities which this age can 
hardly realise. They were said, as it 
were technically, 4 quzrere eremum in 
oceano." From  Eilan Rona, which 
stands sixty miles to the N.W. of the 
Butt of Lewes, past the Flannan Islands 
and S. Kilda, down to Ailsa Craig and 
Sanda, the traces of oratories and her- 
mitages are found throughout the great 
insular range of the Hebrides ; and al- 
though the east coast, by the compara- 
tive absence of islands, did not afford the 


273 


same facilities, yet, wherever they existed, 
they were used for this purpose. Pro- 
bably the peninsular rocks of Dinacair 
and Dunottar, near Stonehaven, were 
employed for this end, and certainly the 
May, Inchkeith, Inchcolm, the Fiddra, 
and the Bass, either by authentic tradi- 
tion or by the testimony of ruins, confirm 
what has been asserted. Both tradition 
and the existence of a ruin on the Bass 
Rock testify to the former inhabitation 
of an island saint, who, known as Baldred 
or Baltherus, was honoured in Scotland 
on the 6th of March. The legend in 
the Brev. Aberdeen is to this effect. 
After the translation of S. Kentigern 
to the society of angels, in 530, at the age 
of one hundred and eighty-three, S. 
Baldred, who had been his suffragan, 
became famous in Laudonia. He betook 
himself to the eremitic life in remote 
desert places, and islands of the sea, 
among which is one termed Bass, where 
he for a long time dwelt upon the 
memory of his model S. Kentigern, and 
above all things meditated on the bitter 
passion of Christ, in fasting, and weep- 
ing, and wailing. He also taught the 
faith in the three parochial churches of 
Aldhame, Tynynghame, and Prestoune, 
which had been subjected to him by S. 
Mungo. Here he performed some mir- 
acles of healing, and a rock, which im- 
peded the navigation, moved beneath 
him to the shore.. It is still called the 
Tumba or Scapha of S. Baldred. At 
length, worn out by extreme old age, he 
died in the house of the parish priest of 
Aldhame. His three churches each de-. 
manded his body, and when the people 
could not agree, being advised to pray

to God to give them a sign, on the morn- 
ing they found three bodies laid out, 
each with the same exequial pomp, and 
each congregation carried off one to its 
own church, where it is kept with great 
honour untothisday.—(Brev. Aberd. pars 
hyemalis, fol Ixiii, and Ixiiii) A 
similar legend as to the triplication 
of his body is narrated of the great 
Welsh saint, Theliaus.—(See Capgrave, 
Legend. Aur. fol cclxxxi. verso) Two 
bodies of S. Patrick were also mira- 
culously produced. ^ Camerarius, who 
makes the day the 29th of March, 
refers to John Major, In quart. Sent. 
Distinct. 10, quest. 4, where, in treating 
of the Holy Eucharist, he seeks to prove, 
by the example of the body of S. Bal- 
dred, that the same body can be in 
diverse places, simul et semel. He is 
called S. Kentigern's suffragan, in the 
Martyrology of Aberdeen. 

The church of S. Baldred of Tyning- 
hame had the right of sanctuary.—(Char- 
ter of Malcolm the Maiden, Robertson's 
Statuta Eccles. Scot, vol. ii. p. 261.) 
At Preston Kirk some places adjoining 
the church still bear the name of the 
ancient tutelar saint, as Baldred's Well 
and Baldred’s Whill, a pool or eddy in 
the river.—(O. S. A., vol. xi. p. 87 ; N. 
S. A., vol. vi. Haddington, pp. 21, 58.) 
His cave is also shown on the coast near 
Aldhame. 

S. Baldred appears as S. Baltherus in 
a Fragmentum Historie de Pontificibus 
Eboracensibus, given in Mabillon (Acta 
Sanct. Ord. Ben. pars 2da, p. 508), where 
two miracles are attributed to him. He 
walked on the water like S. Peter, and 
obtained the pardon of the soul of a 


BALDRED—BARNITUS. 


deacon, who before death had fallen into 
acarnal sin, Simeon of Durham gives 
his date at A.D. 756. Bower is the first 
who makes him suffragan to S. Kenti- 
gern. 


BAITAN, A. June 9, A.D. 600.— 
Baiton, Baitin, Baitan, or Baothin, was 
cousin-german and immediate successor 
of S. Colum Cille. He saw three chairs 
in heaven, made respectively of gold, 
silver, and glass, which Columba destined 
to Ciaran, to Baitan, and to himself 
the last because he was “brittle and 
fragile, in consequence of the battles 
that were fought on his account,” where- 
upon he increased his austerity. Baithin 
used to say “ Deus in adjutorium meum 
intende” between every two morsels, and 
when he used to gather corn along 
with the monks, he held one hand up 
beseeching God, and with the other he 
gathered the corn. He ruled four years, 
and died A.D. 600.— (Mart. Doneg., 
p. 163.) But the Annals of Ulster give 
598 AD. “ Dxceviii., Quies Baetini Ab- 
batis Jae.” For the various forms of 
this Saint’s name, see Colgan’s Act. SS., 
p. 437. For his ancient life, see Act. SS., 
Jun. tom. ii. p. 235, in which are some 
interesting tóuches. The story of the 
three chairs is in the life of S. Molaise.

BARNITUS or BARRINTUS, A. 


BARR. 


January 13, cir. A.D. 591.—Dempster, at 
5th January, makes him honoured in 
Argyle, and a companion of S. Brandan. 
His relics were venerated at Dreghorn 
(Aug. 6.) 

There is a S. Barrendeus, Abbot of 
Druim Cuillen, on the confines of Mun- 
ster and Leinster, in the land of the 
Hy Neill, called Fearceal, according to 
Ussher, in 591.—(Ussher, Works, vol 
vi. pp. 532 and 598.) 


BARR, C. September 25.—The Scot- 
tish account of S. Finbar or Fymberrus 
makes him born in the Island of Ca- 
thania, which was on the western side 
of Scotia, having Rossia to the south 
and the Orchades to the east. The 
Prince concerned in the history is called 
Tigrinatus, and the story of the Saint 
before and immediately after his birth 
reproving him for cruelty, is in accord- 
ance with the record of the Irish lives 
printed by Mr. Caulfield. With the 
exception of this legend, nothing more is 
said in the Brev. of Aberdeen of one 
who is known to hagiologists as S. 
Finbar, patron of Cork. 

The cultus of this great saint was very 
prevalent in Scotland. We find in the 
parish of Kilkerran, S. Barre's Island, in 
modern times termed Davar or Devar 
(Orig. Par. ii. i 12, 16, 23) ; in that of 
Tarbat, Chapel Barre at Midd Genie (Or. 
Par. ii. 11, 434); in the Island of Barray, 
Shilbar, where was an image of the Saint 
which was clothed with a linen sheet 
every year upon his own anniversary 
(O. S. A, xiii p. 326); in Ayrshire, a 
parish called Barr (N. S. A., Ayrshire, 
p. 409); in the parish of Strickathrow 


275 


is the village of Inchbare (N. S. A., For- 
farshire, p. 668). 

At Eddleston, the yearly festival was 
on the 25th of September, * on which day 
the Scottish Church kept the festivals 
of S, Fynber, a bishop who obtained 
especial reverence in Caithness, and of S. 
Finneis, bishop and martyr.” —(Orig. Par. 
i 211.) 

He is also patron of Dornoch and of 
the island of Barra, which take its name 
from him, and where a semi-heathen 
cultus of him was maintained till the 
last century.—(Martin’s Western Islands, 
p. 92; 0. S. A, xiii p. 326.) The 
Martyrology of Donegal says he re- 
ceived consecration from Christ himself, 
and that he was of the race of Brian, 
son of Eochaidh Muighmhedhoin. He 
founded a hermitage on an island in 
Loch Eire, now the Googane Barra, and 
afterwards the more celebrated one of 
Cork, so ealled from its situation in 
a marshy spot, Corcagh-Mor. Mr. 
Caulfield, after Dr. Reeves, gives the 
following lives :-—MSS. Hib., Bruss. iv. p. 
2. p. 16, Nos. 2327-2340. Smith's MSS.

and Founder of the See of Cork, edited

The Martyrology of Aberdeen says that 
he died in Caithness. It distinguishes 
(wrongly) between §S. Fimbarrus of 
Caithness and S. Barrus in Ireland.

A legend in Torfseus (Orcades, lib. i. c. 
10) describes a feud between twonorthern 
chiefs, in which the one carries off the 
daughter of the other,and, being worsted 
in a sea-fight, swims ashore with her, 
marries her in an irregular manner in the 
cottage of a poor man, and begets a son 
named Bard, who travelled and acquired 
great learning, was afterwards Bishop of 
Ireland, and became famous for his 
miracles. 

Ussher (Works, vol. vi. p. 521), 
quoting a life of S. David by Giraldus 
Cambrensis, in which he has recast the 
early work by Ricemarch, mentions our 
Saint as Abbas Barrocus, * S. Barrus aliis 
dictus,” as following the example of the 
Irish saints in visiting the Limina apos- 
tolorum, and enjoying S. David's con- 
versation either going or returning. 


BATHAN, B. December 25, cir. 639. 
—S. Bathanus, Baithonus, or Bothanus, is 
connected with all Scotland, but specially 
with Shetland and Thule.—(Camerarius, 
p.203.) He is mentioned in the Epistle 
to the Scots by Pope John IV., A.D. 
639, in the vacancy of the Roman See, 
when they were warned to keep the 
true Easter, and to avoid the errors of 
Pelagius.—(Bzda, H. E. lib. ii c. xix.) 
At the 18th of January Camerarius gives 
a S. Bothanus, Bishop of Dunblane, in 
Scotland, and refers to Martyrologium S. 
Crucis. Ifthat be the martyrology in 
the ritual-book of Holyrood, described 
in the Liber Cartarum Sancte Crucis, at 
p. exxxiii, no such entry is to be found 
there. In Berwickshire is the parish of 
Abbey of S. Bathans.—(N. S. A., Ber- 
wickshire, p. 105 ; O. S. A. vol. xii, 61- 


BATHAN—BAYA. 


64.) The Register of the Priory of S. 
Andrews (p. 31), giving the taxation of 
the churches in the Archdeaconry of 
the Lothians, assigns one mark to the 
Ecclesia Sti Boythani The parish 
of Gifford, or Yester, in East Lothian, 
was anciently called S. Bothans.—(N. 
S. A., Berwickshire, p. 105.) 

The parish of Bowden is supposed 
also to take its name from this saint. 
“Tn the charter granted by King David 
I, to the Abbey of Selkirk, mention is 
made of Bothenden, which seems to 
favour the conjecture of this parish 
being named after S. Bothan, or Bod- 
win, and the site of his town is still 
pointed out near the village."—(O. S. A. 
vol xvi p. 230.) Perhaps Bothwell 
is called after him.—(O. S. A. vol. xvi. 
p. 300.) Ballebodan, or Kilbodan, in 
the parish of Ardchattan, may take its 
name from him, though the patron of 
the parish is S. Modan, and the m and 
b are interchangeable in Gaelic.—(Orig. 
Par. ii. pp. 148, 186.) There is a Kil- 
bedane in the lordship of Morven and 
sheriffdom of Inverness.—(Orig. Par. ii. 
p. 191.) 


BAYA, V. November 3.—S8. Baya, or 
Beya, or Vey, who is venerated at Dun- 
bar, in Lothian, is said to have inhabited 
the island of Cumbrae, where she lived in 
solitude, surrounded by beasts and birds, 
and where she received the visits of S. 
Maura, What S. Maura learnt from 
this solitary she taught to the virgins 
associated with her in the religious life. 
Nothing could exceed the austerity of 
these saints. S. Maura finished her life 
at the place called Kilmavoris, now Kil- 


BEAN—BECAN. 


maurs. S. Beya died in her island, where 
& chapel—capella satis decenter extruc- 
ta—was raised over her remains. The 
love of solitude that distinguished her 
in life was attested by miracle after 
death, for the Rector of the Church of 
Dunbar, attempting to carry off her relics, 
encountered so great a storm that he was 
obliged to desist.—(Brev. Aberd. pars 
estiv. f. cxlvi.; Regist. S. Egid. 224.) 

In the Old Statistical Account, vol. 
xii. p. 415, speaking of Little Cumbrae, 
“There are yet to be seen the ruins of a 
very ancient chapel, or place of worship, 
said to be dedicated to S. Vey, who lies 
buried near it. Probably it was a 
dependency of Icolmkill" In the 
N. S. A., Ayr, 272, “The ruins of the 
chapel and tomb of S. Vey, alluded to 
in the former account, stil remain. 
They are situated near the top of the 
hill, a little northward of the castle. 
The chapel is 33 feet by 18 wide. The 
walls, very little of which are now 
standing, are about 9. feet in thickness, 
but the mortar with which they have 
been built seems to have been bad, and 
very sparingly used.” 

There is a Kil-bag Head in Lewes, 
which probably takes its name from the 
Church of Baya or Bega.—(N. S. A, 
Ross and Cromarty, p. 158.) 


BEAN, B. December 16, A.D. 1012. 
—S. Bean, Bishop of Mortlach, is 
found in the additions to Usuard at this 
day. Greven. “ In Hibernia Beani Epis- 
copi et Confessoris.” Molan. “ In Hiber- 
nis Beani Episcopi primi Aberdonensis 
et Confessoris.” In the Irish Kalendars 
he appears in his honorific dress of 


277 


Mophiog.—(See learned note in Martyr. 
Donegal, pp. 337-9.) Fordun (Scotichron. 
iv. 44, vol. i. p. 227) states that S. Bean 
was made bishop by Pope Benedict VIIL, 
at the instance of Malcolm Canmore. 
This would place his date about 1012. 
Kinkell was dedicated to this Saint (Lib. 
Ins. Missarum, viii); also Erne-frear 
ubi est Capella S. Beani—(Fordun, ii. 10.) 
Also Fasslane in Roseneath.—(Charter 
of Duncan, Earl of Lennox, at Panmure.) 
He is one of the patrons of Grandtully.— 
(Red Book of Grandtully, p. 70.) There 
is a Kirkbean in the Stewartry of Kirk- 
cudbright. Near Mortlach is Balvanie, 
which in Irish is called Bal-beni-mor, 
the dwelling of Beyne the Great. It is 
supposed to be the seat of S. Beyne, 
first Bishop of Mortlach.—(Collections 
on the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff, 
p. 123, Spalding Club.) 


BEAN, B. and C. October 26.—The 
Breviary of Aberdeen gives us no details 
of the life of this saint. He is not to be 
identified with the S. Beanus of Aber- 
deen, or rather of Mortlach, whose day 
is the 16th December. This saint was 
venerated at Wester Foulis, in Strath- 
erne, and is probably identical with S. 
Beoan of Tamhlact-Menan.—(Note by 
Dr. Reeves to Mart. Donegal, p. 339 ; see 
also Mart. Aberd.; also Reeves’ Ecol. 
Antiquities of Down and Connor, p. 
113. ZEngus gives— 

Nasad Beoin Mellain. 


BECAN, H. March 17, aD. 677. 
—Becanus Eremita, surnamed Ruim or 
Ruiminn, was the son of Ercan, the son 
of Frachan, of the race of Conall Gulban, 


278 


chiefs of Tyrconnel. He was nearly 
related to S. Columkille and to the 
early abbots of Hy, who were all of the 
same sept till the days of Conaimhail, 
A.D. 710.—(Reeves' Adamnan, p. 378.) 
Leaving Ireland, he went to a solitary 
place in Hy, where he remained several 
years, while his uncle Segenius was abbot 
of the island. This is known from the 
inscription of a letter on the Paschal 
controversy, written about 633 by S. 
Cumeneus or Cumeanus to Segenius : 
* Becano solitario charo carne et 
spiritu fratri" He died in 675 (677). 
—(Vide Colgan, i. 630.) 


BEGHA, V. October 31, A.D. cir. 
660.—S. Begha, called also S. Bez, and 
S. Begagh, intended by her parents 
for marriage, on hearing of the flourish- 
ing state of Christianity in Britain, 
left her home in Ireland, and fled in 
a ship that was waiting for her to 
Scotia. ‘Then she received the veil in 
Britannia, at the hands of Bishop 
Aidan, in the reign of King Oswald. 
She ruled à community in a cell con- 
structed by him in a certain desert 
island. When S. Hilda returned from 
Gaul (vide Beda, Hist., lib. iv. c. xxiii.), 
S. Begha prayed to be freed from the 
burden of government, and that S. 
Hilda should be consecrated abbess in 
her stead, which accordingly took place. 
After many years she died in the odour 
of sanctity, attested by many miracles 
at her tomb, especially the cure of the 
two sons of a Frenchman from Chartres. 
—(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. f. cxxxvi.) 

Beda mentions a nun called Begu 
in the monastery of Hacanos, thirteen 


BEGHA—BERACH. 


miles from Whitby, to whom the death 
of Hilda was revealed in a vision.—(H, 
E. L iv. c. 23.) 

She is honoured in Kilbucho (Orig. 
Par. i. 177 ; O. S. A. iv, 944 ; Chalmers’ 
Caledonia, ii. p. 958), and at Kilbagie 
(O. S. A. vol viii 605, xiv, 623) 
There isa glebe called Kilbegie (Orig. 
Par. it 822), Kilbagie in Clack- 
mannan is also probably named after 
her (N. S. A, vol, viii. pp. 3, 128). 
Her greatest foundation was within the 
kingdom of Strathclyde, at S. Bees, 
which takes its designation from her. 
It was founded in 656. Afterwards a 
Priory was endowed on its foundation 
by William de Meschines, Lord of Cope- 
land, temp. Henry I. "There was a cell 
of this house at Nendrum or Mahee 
Island, in County Down.—-(See De 
scription of Nendrum by Rev. W. 
Reeves, D.D., 1845, and his Eccl. Antiq. 
of Down and Connor.) 


BENIGNUS, P. August 9, AD. 
436.—At this day Dempster gives a 
Benignus, Presbyter at Lesmahago, on 
the authority of the long-lost Collec- 
tanea of Gilbert Brown, Abbot of 
Sweetheart. " 

There is a Benignus who was a dis- 
ciple of S. Patrick. He wrote a life of 
his master, and a hymn, and is sup- 
posed to be S. Beona. There was a 
life of him by John of Tinmouth.—(See 
Ussher, Works, vol. vi. 408, 437, 439.)

North, in the county of Roscommon.— 
(Mart. Donegal.) From him Kilberry, in 
Argyleshire, takes its name—(Orig. 
Par. ii. 37.) He it was who was at- 
tacked by a whale in going to Tiree. 
—(Adamnan, lib. i. 19; see his Acts, 
in Colgan, Act. SS. Hib. p. 340.) The 
Latin equivalent for his name is Verutus. 

S. Barry’s bell is preserved.—(Orig. 
Par. ii. 37; O. S. A, vol x. p. 55, 
xix. 318. There is the Barryhill,

BERCHAN, B. August 4.—Bear- 
chan, Bishop and Apostle of God, of 
Cluain-sosta, in Ui-failghe. He was of 
the race of Cairbre Righfoda, son of 
Coram, who is of the seed of Heremon. 
Fer-da-Leithe (the man of two portions) 
was another name for him ; i.e, he spent 
half his life in Alba, and the other in 
Erin, as he himself said :— 

At first we were in Alba, 

The next first in Meath ; 

Truly it was not foolish sleep that I went 

bent on ; 

I did not find the face of a hero by sleeping.

(Mart. Donegal, p. 327.) 
The Scotch Kalendars place this saint’s 
day at April 6, and make him Bishop in 
the Orkneys.—(Dempster, Menolog. ad 


279 


diem.) Camerarius (p. 127) says that 
he was celebrated in the province of 
Stirling, and passed his youth in the 
celebrated monastery of S. Columba, not 
far from thence. He went to Inchma- 
home in the lake of Menteith. 

Kilbarchan in Renfrew takes its name 
from him.—(Reéves’ Columba, p. 315, n. ; 
O. S. A, xv. 482; N. S. A,, x. 1104) 
The Abbey of Paisley possessed the 
Church of Kilbarchan.—(Orig. Par. i. 69.) 

In the parish of Houston is the barony 
of Barochan (O. S. A., i. p. 326), where 
is a fine cross.—(Stuart's Sculptured 
Stones of Scotland, vol. i p. 35, plates 
115, 116.) 

In a charter of privileges to the Burgh 
of Tain, 10th Jan. 1578 (Regist. Magni 
Sigilli, Lib. xxxvii, No. 89), one of the fairs 
mentioned is “Dies S. Barquhani qui 
est tercius dies post festum S. Petri ad 
Vincula vocat. Lambmes.” 


BERECTUS. February 24, A.D. 720. 
—A. Saint of this name, in the reign of 
Mordae, 59th king of the Scots, is men- 
tioned by Wion. Hes said to have died 
in 720.—(Camerarius de Fort., p. 107.) 

Wion, Lignum Vite, pars 2, lib. iii. 
p. 57, 1598—" In Scotia Sancti Berecti 
Monachi et Confessoris, qui profuit et 
vite sanctissime exemplo et predica- 
tione" He adds in a note, “ De eodem 
Galesinus hac die, ex MS. Kalendariis : 
de cujus rebus gestis nihil reperii.” 


BIRINNUS. December 3, A.D. 650. 
—The Martyrology of Donegal, at Dec. 
3, gives * Birn,” and in the table at p. 
325 he occurs as “ Birin."— Usuard. 
Auct, has at Dec, 3, *In Anglia, St. 
Birini episcopi et confessoris."

S. Birinus of Dorchester was sent by 
Pope Honorius to evangelise the West 
Saxons. He baptized King Cynegils, 
who began to reign in 611. He built 
and consecrated many churches. 

(See Beda, 1. iii. c. 7 ; see also Sir T. D. 
Hardy's Descriptive Catalogue, vol. i. p. 
235.) The parish of Kilbirnie is named 
from him, but no fair marks his day.— 
(N. S. A., Ayrshire, p. 689.) There is a 
Kilbirnie Loch at the west end of the 
parish of Beith (O. S. A, viii. p. 326); 
and probably the parish of Dumbarny, 
in the most beautiful part of Strathearn, 
takes its name from this saint.—(O. 8. 
A., viii. 404.) 


BLADUS, B. He was bishop of the 
Isles.—(Keith's Scottish Bishops, ed. 
‘Russel, p. 476.) 


BLAISE. February 3, AD. 316.— 
Fordun calls him Patron of the Isle of 
Pladay (lib. i. c. 6, and lib. ii. c. 10. 
Also Orig. Par. ii. p. 1, p. 254.) 


BLAITHMAIC. January 19, A.D. 
793.—Blathmaie, the son of Flann, of 
royal Irish descent, became in early life 
a monk, though his relatives tried to 
prevent it, and soon he was elected 
abbot. Having a great desire for 
martyrdom he fled into distant parts, 
but was forcibly brought home again. 
He was distinguished by the gift of 
prophecy. At length he fled to Iona, 
where he was made aware of his coming 
martyrdom. He set himself to strengthen 
those who were prepared to suffer with 
him, and warned the weak brethren to 
flee in time. He was martyred about 
the year 793. His life is celebrated in 
verse by Walafrid Strabo, Abbot of 


BLADUS—BLANE. 


Augia Dives or Reichenau, A.D. 823.— 
(Colgan, t. i p. 127.) It is given by 
Pinkerton, in his Vit» Antiqua SS. p. 
459 ; and in D'Achery and Mabillon's 
Acta SS. Ord. S. Benedicti, pars iii. 98, 
The Ulster Annals give his martyrdom 
by the Gentiles in 825-828.  Blaith- 
maic is derived from Blath, a flower. 
Hence his latinised name Florigenius, or 
Florus.—(Mart. Donegal, Table, p. 367.) 


BLANE, B.C. August 10, 4.p. 590.— 
S. Blaan of Bute was the son of Ertha, 
sister of S. Cathan. He was, during 
seven years in Ireland, instructed by S. 
Congall and S. Kenneth. He returned 
with his mother, in a boat without oars, 
to the island of his nativity, where 
he was heartily received by S: Cathan, 
and devoted to the service of God. 
His light having gone out one night he 
brought fire from his finger-ends, as 
when flint is struck with steel He 
was raised to the episcopate, and then 
went to Rome, and after receiving the 
Pope's blessing he returned on foot 
through Anglia, in a northern city of 
which he performed the extraordinary 
miracle of restoring a blind wicked boy 
to life in three stages—first with one 
eye, then with his sins, and lastly in the 
State of grace. 

The Irish Kalendars record him 
thus—Blaan, Bishop of Ceann-garadh, in 
Galghaoidhelu. Dubblaan (Gloss on 
ZEngus), Dum-Blaan is his chief city.— 
(Mart. Donegal) Blaani Ep. Cinngaradh, 
in Gallghaedelaibh, Udnochtan.—(Mart. 
Tallaght.) Camerarius calls him Episco- 
pus Sodorensis. 

There was a life of this saint compiled 


BOISIL—BONIFACE. 


by George Newton, Archdeacon of Dun- 
blane. His mother is said to have been 
daughter of Aidan, king of the Scottish 
Dalriads, and therefore hedates at theend 
of the sixth or beginning of the seventh 
centuries.—(Reeves' Culdees, p. 46.) 

Note a curious passage in Fordun 
(lib. xi. c. 21, ed. Goodall, ii. 160). 
When speaking of the expulsion of the 
English clerics from Scottish benefices 
in 1296, he complains that the English 
did not reciprocate the right of holding 
benefices with the Scots, notwithstand- 
ing that Scotch churches possessed 
manors in England by donations from 
individual chiefs ; whereupon he instances 
the possession by the church of Dun- 
blane of the manors of Appilby, Con- 
gere, Troclyngham, and Malemath, in 
England, given by a lord whose son 
S. Blane restored to life, baptized, and 
named Columba. Both were of wonder- 
ful life, and distinguished by miracles. 
Columba is buried in Dunblane, and 
Blane in Bute. Besides the town of Dun- 
blane and the abbey of S. Blane's in Bute, 
there was a church dedicated to him in 
Dumfries.—(Lib.S. Marie de Calchou, 11.)

Dunblane, the only Scottish see founded

BOISIL. February 23, a.p. 664.—S. 
Boisil, Prior of Old Melrose, was trained 
by S. Cuthbert, and died of the great 
pestilence in 664. It will be seen in 
the Kalendar of Herdmanston that his 
name, as 2 later Scottish insertion, occurs 
at July 8. S. Boswell’s, Roxburghshire, 
takes its name from him.—(O. S. A. i. p. 


281 


52, x. 206; N. S. A. vol. iii. 104, 110, 
112; see Beda, H. E. 1. iv. c. 27,1. x. c. 
10; Vita Cuthberti,c. 8.) Lessuden, in 
the same county, is also dedicated to him.

BONIFACE. March 16, cir. A.D, 630. 
—8. Bonifacius surnamed Queritinus, 
by others called Albanus Kiritinus sur- 
named Bonifacius, as he is termed in the 
Utrecht MSS. used by the Bollandists, is 
said therein to have founded a church at 
the mouth of the river Gobriat (Gowrie) 
in Pictavia, after baptizing Nectanus the 
king. He preached sixty years to the 
Picts and Scots. At the age ‘of eighty 
he died at Rosmarky, and was buried in 
the church of S. Peter. The legend 
of S. Bonifacius in the Breviary of 
Aberdeen, though disfigured with vari- 
ous historie errors—viz. that he was 
the Pope of that name, of a Jewish 
stock descended from a sister of S. 
Peter and S. Andrew, and born at 
Bethsaida ; that he was ordained priest 
by John, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, in 
his thirty-sixth year; and that four 
years after he came to Rome, where he 
reigned for more than seven years—yet 
contains some points which deserve con- 
sideration. One cannot see whence this 
confusion arose; for Boniface IIL, who 
seems to be the Pontiff pointed at in 
the legend (Baron. Annal. t. xiii. p. 198, 
ad ann. 600) as the immediate successor 
of S. Gregory, was by birth Roman, and 
the allusion to the Emperor Maurice is 
obviously an anachronism; still, when we 
come to the details of S. Bonifacius's 
missionary visit to Scotland, there are 
certain circumstantial particulars that 
partake more of history than of legend. 


20 


282 


After an account of the steps he took to 
leave Rome, we have an account of the 
persons he took with him on the mission 
to Scotland, which he had determined 
on. ‘These were Bonifandus, Benedic- 
tus, Servandus, Pensandus, Benevolus, 
Madianus, Precipuus—all bishops; 
and two distinguished abbesses, Cres- 
centia and Triduana, along with seven 
individuals of each of the orders, and a 
great multitude of those who feared 
God, of both sexes. They all set forth 
for Pictavia, and on a sign being given 
by God they came by the Scotic sea, 
nearly to the place called Restinoth, 
which they approached singing the 
greater litany ; which is quite possible, 
for that greater litany was first estab- 
lished by Pope Gregory the Great. 
Nectan, whose existence and acts we 
know of from the pages of Beda, now 
comes on the scene. He is baptized 
with all his court, and gives up the 
place of his baptism to Bonifacius, who 
occupied himself in the evangelisation 
of the country, and in the construction 
of many churches. After performing 
many miracles, copying out 150 books 
of the gospels, and dedicating as many 
churches; after ordaining 1000 bishops 
and priests, and converting 36,000 
men and women, he died, in the eighty- 
fourth year of his age, on the 17th 
of the kalends of April. 

Now this legend has some grains 
of truth in it, for the names of some 
of S. Boniface's companions are found 
in the dedication of churches in the 
very districts which he is said to 
have evangelised. We have a chapel 
of S. Benedict of  Rosemarkie; S. 


BONIFACE. 


Madianus is preserved in S. Madoes in 
the Carse of Gowrie, and S. Pensandus 
at Kilspindy ; S. Servanus is, perhaps, 
the second S. Serf, and S. Triduana was 
worshipped at Restalrig and Rescobie. 
The legend speaks of S. Bonifacius 
beseeching God by S. Peter: * Deum 
nostrum omnipotentem per sanctum 
Petrum;" and a list of churches 
through Pictland, dedicated to him, 
attests an influx of Roman influence, 
which tallies with what Beda tells us 
of the actual course of policy of King 
Nectan. These are, Invergowrie, Tealing, 
Restennet, Meigle, Abernethy in Mar, 
and Rosemarkie. (Boethii Scot. Hist. 
lib. iv. fol. 173 a, Ed. Par. 1575.) 

In endeavouring to identify’ the 
Scottish Bonifacius with any individual 
in the hagiology of Ireland, we are met 
with the difficulty that on the same day 
(March 16) there are two saints, with 
whom he has points of similarity. 
These are Abban Mac Ua Corbmaic of 
Magh-arnaidhe in Ui-Ceinnsealaigh in 
Leinster, and of CillAbban in Ui- 
Muireadhaigh, in Leinster, of the race of 
Labraidh Lore, son of Ugainé Mor (Mart. 
Donegal), of whom there is an ancient 
life given by Colgan (Acta SS. pp. 610- 
627), and Curitan, Bishop and Abbot of 
Ros-Meinn. The Cain Adamnain states 
that Curitan was one of the saints who 
became security to free the women of 
Erinn from the bondage in which they 
were (Mart. Don.) The life of Abban 
probably confuses two saints of the 
same name, and is not to be impli- 
citly followed, but it affirms that he 
founded a monastery at Ros-Mac-Truin, 
which seems the same name as Ros- 


BONOC—BOTULPHUS. 


marky. On the other hand, Boece, who, 
though discredited as to some sources of 
his information, certainly had access to 
many documents which we have lost, 
gives ustheadditional name of Queritinus 
which would seem to identify him with 
the Curitan, Bishop and Abbot of Ros- 
mec-baercon, who attended the Synod 
of Birr, when the Cain Adamnain were 
enacted.—(Boethii Scot. Hist. fol. 172, 
ed. Paris, 1575.) This would place him 
in the middle of the seventh century. 
(See Reeves’ Essay on the Culdees, p. 
48; Acta SS. Mart. t. ii. p. 444) 

For the remains at Rosemarkie and 
Invergowrie, see O. S. A. vol. xi. 343; 
xii 117; N. S. A. xiv. 352; Orig. 
Par. ii. 507-583. 

Though it is impossible to connect 
him with our saint, it should be men- 
tioned that in Urquhart is a place of 
sepulture called Claodh Churidan, where 
one Churidan was buried.—(O. 8. A. vol. 
xx. p. 299.) 


BONOO, B. In the Register of the 
Great Seal, book 36, no. 72 (MS. Gene- 
ral Register House), there is a confirma- 
tion by King James VI. of a charter 
granted, “ per dominum Thomam Wemis 
capellani capellanie Sancti Bonach situate 
et fundate intra villam de Lucheris." In 
the original charter, which is engrossed, 
the saint is called Bonoc—“ capellanus 
capelle Sancti Bonoci" The following 
notice of a relic of S. Bonoc occurs in a 
memorandum of endowments of the 
altar of S. Fergus, at S. Andrews, con- 
tained in a MS. volume of Miscellanea 
of the fifteenth century in the University 
Library there :—“ Demum acquisivit a 


283 


domino Dauid Rynd curato ecclesie paro- 
chialis de Luchqueris unam partem gin- 
giuarum Sancti Bonoci episcopi." 


BOTULPHUS, Abbot. June 25, A.D. 
655.—He is honoured on the 17th of 
June in the York Kalendar, as one 
“whose name has been very illustrious, 
on account of his extraordinary sanctity, 
throughout all England at least from the 
ninth century and downwards."—(Chal- 
loner’s Memorial of British Piety, p. 93, 
London, 1761. $S. Botulphus is re- 
corded in the Martyrology of Aberdeen 
as well as in the Missal of Arbuthnott 
and the Breviary of Aberdeen on this 
day. However, he does not occur in the 
Sarum Missal When Elgin Cathedral 
was burnt by the Wolf of Badenoch, 
the Chartulary mentions that it was on 
S. Botolph's day, showing that at that 
time the day must have been observed, 
at least in that diocese.—(Arbuthnott 
Missal, Preface, p. xvii.) 

S. Botolph, with his brother Adul- 
phus, is said to have been of the Saxon 
race, although in the lections of the 
Breviarium Sleswicense he is stated to 
be “ex illustri prosapiá Regum Scoto- 
rum oriundus," and that he went to Eng- 
land and was heartily received by King 
Edward, and at his desire advanced to 
holy orders. After seven years he peti- 
tioned to have a place assigned to him 
where he might more freely serve the 
Lord, and he obtained a suitable one, 
surrounded on all sides by the branches 
of a river. It was called Ykanho, 
But, as it was too much infested with 
evil spirits, he sought and obtained 
from the King another on the Thames, 


284 


where he built a church and dedicated it 
to S. Martin. After thirteen years he 
was bitten by a snake, and again sought 
a change, and in this place he dedicated 
two churches, to S. Peter and S. Paul. 
Then he visited the threshold of the 
Apostles, and on his return, after per- 
forming some miracles, he died. The 
translation of his relies is given in Cap- 
grave.—(Capgrave, Legend. Nov. fol. 
xli. See Acta Sanctorum, Jun. tom. 
iii. p. 398.) 


BRANDAN, A. C. May 16, aD. 
577.—S. Brandan flourished among the 
Scoti in A.D. 532, and was the father of 
about 3000 monks, as is mentioned in a 
little book of his life. This remarkable 
saint, the records of whose wanderings 
are among the most popular of the 
legends of the middle ages, is thus 
commemorated in the Breviary of Aber- 
deen :—After a seven years’ voyage, 
he sought the Fortunate Islands, and 
there saw wonderful things. The 
blessed Machutus, baptized and taught 
by him, was the companion of his 
voyage, and is said to have been dis- 
tinguished by remarkable miracles in 
Scotia. Calling together into an oratory 
fourteen of his brethren, he asked their 
advice as to seeking the land of promise 
of which Father Berinthus had spoken, 
and they agreed to go with him, if it were 
the will of God. Finally, after a fast of 
forty days, he started with twenty-four 
brethren westward towards an island of 
a certain father by name Pende, and 
there abode three days and three 
nights. Then, lastly, he went to the 
place where his parents lived, but he 


BRANDAN. 


willed not to see them; but on the top 
of a hill which extended to the sea, in a 
place which is called Brandon’s Seat, he 
fixed his tent, where there was the 
means of entrance of one ship.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol. Ixxxxviii.) 

The Breviary of Aberdeen here gives 
a rubric which shows the position of the 
cultus of the native saints at the time 
of its being issued. If the feasts of S. 
Comgall, Brandan, Ronan, Augustine, fall 
before Pentecost, they are to be com- 
memorated with only three lections and 
the regimen of the choir. If they occur 
on Pentecost or the Octave, they are to be 
transferred till after the Octave, and 
then there are to be the nine lections. 
The same rules hold with regard to 
SS. Colmoe, Columba, Barnabas, Ternan, 
and Margaret of Scotland, except in the 
churches dedicated to the respective 
saints. The popularity of the travels of 
this saint, giving expression to the vague 
traditions of the unknown Atlantis of 
the west which lurked in the minds of 
the Celtic races, make the number of 
MSS., in which his life is recorded, very 
great.—(See Sir T. Duffus Hardy's De- 
scriptive Catalogue, vol i p. 159. See 
also La Légende Latine de S. Brandaine, 
avec une Traduction inédite en prose et 
en poésie romanes. Publiée par Achille 
Jubinal d’aprés les manuscrits de la 
Bibliothéque du Roi, remontant aux xie, 
xiie, et xiije siécles. 8vo, Paris, 1836.) 
Capgrave (Nova Legenda Anglis, fol. 
xliii-xlviii) gives it at some length. 

In the Acta Sanctorum, Mai, tom. 
ii. pp. 599-603, is a discussion on the 
connection between S. Brandan and S. 
Machutus. 


BRANDAN. 


There are two remarkable lives of 
S. Brandan in the Brussels MS. Lives 
of the Saints—the one at fol. 189, the 
other at fol. 69. They carry on the life 
of the saint, and give an account of his 
western voyage, of his visits to Wales 
and Scotland, and of his death at 
Enach-Duin (now Annadown) and his 
burial at  Cluainferta. They state 
that his fathers name was Finloga, 
his mother's Cara, that he was baptized 
by Bishop Ere, and nursed by S. Ita. 
As he grew up, he became distinguished 
for every virtue, and his piety shone 
forth in his face like another Moses. 
Leaving Bishop Ero, he for some time 
studied under S. Jarlath, who built a 
monastery at Tuaim Dagualann, now 
Tuam. S&S. Jarlath, astonished at the 
superior sanctity of S. Brandan, willed 
to become his disciple. By raising a 
boy to life, he attracted the notice of 
the king of a place called Cruach. 
But the man of God, shunning earthly 
honours, withdrew himself to the west 
of Connaught, where he won many souls 
to Christ. Raised to the priesthood by 
Bishop Erc, by his advice he deter- 
mined to go forth from his native land. 
Ascending the mountain Aitche, and 
looking forth over the sea, he beheld a 
beautiful island, well suited for the 
servants of God, and, after a three 
days’ fast, a voice came to him, pro- 
mising that it should be his. Thank- 
fully embarking his community in 
three coracles, he committed himself 
with them to the waves, and, after 
sailing for five years, they found a 
lofty island, into which they could not 
enter. Fifteen days they laboured to 


285 


enter ; but at length they discovered an 
inscription in Latin, forbidding them to 
land, for it was not that which was 
promised to them. They were com- 
manded to revisit their country, where 
they were kindly received. On seeing 
Bishop Erc and S. Ita, the latter told 
them that they could not find the 
promised land in vessels made of the 
skins of the dead, but in one made of 
wood. Therefore, going to Connaught, 
and building such a vessel, he embarked 
with sixty disciples, and, after two 
years’ sail, arrived at the Land of Pro- 
mise. On touching there, a reverend 
old man, covered with feathers for 
clothes, saluted them, and told them to 
bring on shore nothing but their vest- 
ments and necessary books. When 
they landed, he saluted them all, and 
told them to sit and behold a land like 
paradise. At Terce they sang the 
divine office, and he said to them * Letno 
one talk, but let every one pray apart, 
for the ground on which you stand is 
holy, and in much speaking there lack- 
eth not sin.” At Sext, S. Brandan said, 
“This is my rest; here I desire to 
stay.” The old man answered, “ He 
resisteth the will of God, who seeketh his 
own ;” and added, “I have been here 
sixty years, supported by angelic minis- 
try. I was to wait till you were come. 
Therefore, to-day I shall enter into the 
joy of my Lord ; but do you after Nones 
return and teach the way of life to the 
Trish. It is revealed to me that your 
people, with your relics, will come here 
the seventh day before the Day of 
Judgment.” At Nones a bird fed them 
all with bread and fish, which they ate 


286 


and gave thanks to the Lord. The old 
man died in peace, and was buried, and 
the rest returned to Hibernia. With 
what food they were supported during 
seven years He only knows who gives 
meat to all, for the saint forbade them 
to tell any of the wonders. He began 
to inhabit the island of Druma, and 
preached and founded monasteries 
through all Munster. By the advice of 
his nurse Ita, he visited Britain, and, 
attracted by the fame of S. Gildas, 
he went to Wales, where he entered a 
city miraculously, forcing the doors of it 
open. Afterwards, when he was ordered 
to celebrate mass, there was a difficulty 
that the missal was written in Greek ; 
but his senses were opened, so that he 
read the Greek as easy as Latin. Then 
he went to Scotland, where he founded 
two monasteries—one in the island 
Ailech . . . and the other in the land 
of Ethica, in a place called Hedua. But, 
warned in a dream, he returned to 
Treland, and became famous in a desert 
island in the Lough of Oirbsen now 
Lough Corrib. Time having passed, he 
said to his brethren, “Let us go into 
the regions of the Mananei, for that 
land requires us. Perhaps there our 
relics may rest.”  Coannus, king of the 
northern parts of Ireland, and Aldus, 
were fighting against Dermitius, in a 
place called Culdraibney, and were 
victorious. Thither the man of God 
went, and founded the celebrated abbey 
of Cluain-ferta, now  Clonfert. He 
thought he was to die there, but S. Briga, 
his sister, told him that he was to rise 
again in the land of the Cragei ; and after 
three days he rendered up the ghost, in 


BRANDAN. 


the ninety-sixth year of his age. In the 
account of his death there is a beautiful 
human touch. After the oblation of 
the sacrifice he said, “Commend my 
departure in your prayers ;” and Briga 
said, * What do you fear?” “I fear, he 
said, if I go alone, if the journey be dark, 
the unknown region, the presence of the 
King, and the sentence of the Judge.” 

So far the first life. The second 
life, which is evidently a later one, goes 
into greater details of his western jour- 
ney, with much more mythical accre- 
tion. They may be read in Kingsley’s 
“The Hermits” (pp. 257-277). 

S. Brandan’s visit to Wales is con- 
firmed by the celebrated document 
printed by Ussher, where he says that 
the second class of saints, among whom 
was S. Brandan, received their Mass from 
S. David, S. Gildas, and S. Doeus.—(W ks., 
vol vi 478.) The Felire gives us— 

Togadini Brennaen Cluana. 
Adamnan (lib. iii. 17) calls him Bren- 
denus Mocu Alti— Alta being his 
great-grandfather. He founded Clonfert 
in 559, and died May 16, 577, aged 
ninety-five. Capgrave (fol. xlviii. verso) 
makes him ninety-three when he died, 
and states he was buried in Cluenarca.— 
(See curious note in O'Conors Rerum 
Hibernicarum Scriptores, vol. ii. p. 315.) 
Fordun states that he erected a cell in 
Bute, which took its name from that 
Bothy—idiomate nostro bothe.—(For- 
dun, lib. 1, c. 29, vol. i. p. 26, ed. Goodall.

of the Brandanes, native men of Ro- 
bert Stewart, in the Scotichronicon.—

He is patron of Boyndie (V. D. A. 646),

parish of Kilbar, in Ayrshire (N. S. A.

The Martyrology of Aberdeen assigns 
“regalem insulam de Buta” as the Scot- 
tish scene of the cultus of this saint— 
S. Brandan’s Haven at Innerbondy is 
mentioned amongst the possessions of the 
Abbey of Arbroath (Regist. Nigrum de 
Aberbrothock, pp. 409, 467). S. Bran- 
dan’s name occurs in Kilbirnie. Here, 
on the 28th of May, is Brennan’s 
Fair.—(N. S. A., Ayrshire, 689.) He has 
a fair at Kirkcaldy. There is Kilbrandon 
Sound, and Kilbrandonin Island of Seil.— 
(Orig. Par. ii pp. 4, 104, 828.) Eassie 
in Forfarshire is dedicated to him. 
There is also the Island of Calbrandon.—

BRIGIDA,V. February 11, A.D., 523. 
—S. Brigida, “the Mary of Ireland,” 
although her fame on the continent is 


287 


somewhat eclipsed by the greater reputa- 
tion of her namesake of Sweden, ranks 
high in the estimation of her countrymen. 
With S. Patrick and S. Columba, she 
takes her place in the “ Trias Thauma- 
turga," as the learned Franciscan Col- 
gan, with a somewhat overbold expres- 
sion, has named the volume in which he 
has recorded their lives. As the wise 
foundress of communities for females, 
she stands forth in history with a very 
marked individuality, though the his- 
tories that have come down to us are 
mainly devoted to a narrative of the 
signs and wonders which God wrought 
by her. But, to whatever cause it may 
be referred, there is no doubt that she 
is one of the most popular of the Celtic 
saints. The number of churches dedi- 
cated to her exceeds the power of our 
enumeration, while the actual preva- 
lence of the name she bore among the 
peasantry of Ireland shows how to this 
day the recollection of her work and 
the faith in her intercession abide in 
the minds of that most interesting 
people. 

As to the acts of S. Brigida, the 
author of the first life 1s Broganus, sur- 
named Cloen, who wrote her praises 
about 525, immediately after her death; 
of the second, is Cogitosus, or Cogitis 
(given by Canisius Lectt. Antiq. tom. 
v.; by Messingham, Florilegium de 
Sanctis; by Colgan, Trias, p. 518; by 
Surius ; and bythe Bollandists). Colgan 
in his preface makes this author to 
flourish in 550, but Dr. Petrie is correct 
in making A.D. 800-835 the period within 
which Cogitosus wrote (Todd's S. Pat- 
rick, p. 11, n... Of the third, Ultanus, 


288 


bishop in Ardbrecain, who flourished 
in the sixth century, and died full of 
years in 655; of the fourth, Ani- 
mosus or Animchodus, bishop in Kil- 
dare, who died in 580, or Anmirius, 
who flourished before the end of the 
seventh century ; of the fifth, Laurence 
of Durham, A.D. 1160 ; of the sixth, S. 
Chilian, or better, Coelanus of Inis 
Kealtra, who flourished after the be- 
ginning of the eighth century.—(See an 
article on S. Brogan Cloen’s Hymn, in 
the Irish Ecclesiastical Record, 1868, 
p.222. See also Dr. Todd's S. Patrick, 
p. 11.) An abecedarian Hymn in 
honour of S. Bridget from the Library 
at Basle is given in the preface of the 
Arbuthnott Missal, p. xlii For later 
lives of S. Brigida, see Sir T. D. Hardy's 
Catalogue, vol. i pp. 105-116. 

Boece’s account is as follows (Bellen- 
den's translation, ed. 1821, vol i. p. 
73):— “And at this time Brigida, a 
holy virgin, havand bot xiv. yeris in 
all, dedicat hir virginitie to God ; and 
was confirmed by the Bischop of the 
Ilis in the Ile of Man. She bare ane

with ane vale over her shoulderis ; and 
was holden in grit reverence in Soot-

BRIGIDA. 


the holy Brigida, whom God foreknew 
and predestinated into his own likeness, 
sprung from a good and prudent Scotic 
stock, having for father Dubthacus 
and for mother Brocca, from her very 
youth profited in the study of good 
things. For this young woman, the 
elect of God, full of sobriety and pru- 
dence, ever advanced towards better 
things. Sent by her mother to col- 
lect the butter made from the milk of 
the cows, as other women do, she gave 
it all to the poor. 

And when she would have given back 
the rest of the fruit of the cows, the fear 
of God kindly turned her to the Lord, 
and God, for his virgin, amply restored 
the butter. At last, when her parents 
wished to give her in marriage, she 
vowed chastity, and in the presence of a 
most holy bishop, as she made her vow, 
she touched the wooden pillar on which 
the altar rested with her hand. In 
memory of the ancient virtue, up to the 
present time this wood remains as it 
were green, or as if it had not been cut 
and stripped of its bark, it flourishes in 
its roots and heals many impotent people. 
The next legend is taken from the third 
life.—(Colgan, p. 519.) 

The holy and religious Brigida, seeing 
that the time of her espousals was coming 
near, asked the Lord to send her some 
deformity, so as to avoid the importunity 
of her parents, whereupon one of her 
eyes burst with a noise and melted in 
her head. Therefore, having received the 
holy veil, Brigida with other sacred veiled 
virgins remained in the city Medi, where 
the Lord, at her prayer, vouchsafed to 
perform many miracles: She healed a

stranger by name Marcus; she supplied 
beer out of one barrel to eighteen 
churches, which sufficed from Maunday- 
Thursday to the end of Easter. . 

On a leprous woman asking for milk, 
there being none at hand, she gave her 
cold water, but the water was turned into 
milk, and when she had drunk it the 
young woman was healed. Then she 
cured a leper, and gave sight to ten blind 
men. It happened that, for an urgent 
cause making a journey, she slipped at a 
ford and cut her head, and with the blood 
that flowed therefrom two dumb women 
recovered their speech. After this a 
precious vessel of the king’s, slipping 
from the hand of a rude man, was 
broken; and, that he might not be 
punished, it was restored to its per- 
fection by Brigida. 

When a leprous woman denied her 
some apples, by the prayers of Brigida 
the orchard dried up from the roots, and 
the apples being left inside disappeared. 
Then, being on a journey in a chariot, she 
saw a poor man with his family with 
great fatigue carrying wood, and she, 
pitying him, gave him her horses, while 
she with her maidens sat by the way. 
Then said she, “ Dig under that turf, that 
water may spring up for the travellers,” 
which being done, straightway a fountain 
burst forth from it. 

No sooner was this done, than a chief 
passing by gave his horses to Brigida. 
As Easter day approached, Brigida said 
to her maidens, “ Who shall wash our in- 
firm sisters?” And when they all, like 
heifers, refused, Brigida put her hands 
into the water toward them and cured 
them of their diseases, of whom one was 


289 


paralytic, another possessed of devils, 
and a third leprous. 

While St. Brigida was staying in a 
neighbour’s house it happened that all 
had gone out, and there came certain 
persons begging bread. Brigida, looking 
round, said to a paralytic and dumb boy 
who lay near her, of whose condition, 
however, she was ignorant, “ Boy, thou 
knowest where are the keys.” And he 
answered, ^I know." Whereupon Bri- 
gida said, “ Run and minister to them,” 
which was accordingly done. In one 
louse she healed twelve sick folks. 

In a great council, a certain woman 
affiliated her child upon a bishop. 
When blessed Brigida had signed her 
with the sign of the cross, she shook 
from the top of her head to the sole of 
her foot, and still remained silent. Bri- 
gida said, * Who is thy father, little in- 
fant?” He answered, “The bishop is 
not my father; but a certain man at the 
foot of the council, base and vile.” In 
those days a certain beggar came to 
blessed Brigida craving alms. Brigida 
said, ^ Take a cow and lead it away." 
To which she answered, * The cow will 
do me no good. The robbers will come 
and steal it away from me." 

Brigida said, “ Take this girdle, steep 
it in water, sprinkle the sick, and they 
shall be healed.” She took it, received 
great gains from the sick whom she 
cured, and distributed it to Christ’s poor 
ones. In time of a famine Brigida went 
to Bishop Ybarus to beg fruits from him. 
It was the time of Lent, and he had no 
other bread, so he placed before her a 
hard stone with lard, which she and the 
bishop ate. But two of her maidens, 


2P 


& 


290 


wishing to eat flesh, hid it, and it was 
straightway turned into two serpents ; 
whereupon they were severely rebuked 
by Brigida in the presence of the bishop, 
but on their repentance, after prayer, the 
serpents were turned into bread. After 
many such wonderful miracles Brigida 
migrated to the Lord. 

The cultus of this great saint in Scot- 
land was very extensive. The Pictish 
Chronicle, which, probably written by 
the Culdees of Brechin between the years 
971 and 995, comes down to us in a 
transcript made by Robert de Populton 
in the early part of the fourteenth 
century, informs us that “ Necton morbet 
filius Erip (the Nectan of Venerable Bede), 
xxiiij regnavit. Tertio annoregni ejus Dar- 
lugdach abbatissa Cilledara de Hibernia 
exulatpro Christo ad Britanniam. Secundo 
anno adventus sui immolavit Nectonius 
Aburnethige Deo et Sancte Brigide, pre- 
sente Darlugdach que cantavit alleluia 
super istam hostiam.  Optulit igitur 
Nectonius magnus filius Wirp,rexomnium 
provinciarum Pictorum, Apurnethige 
Sancte Brigide, usque ad diem judicii, 
cum suis finibus que posite sunt a lapide 
in Apurfeirt juxta Ceirfuill, id est 
Lethfoss et inde in Altum usque ad 
Athan.” The cause of the offering was 
that when Necton was driven into 
Ireland he besought S. Brigida to pray 
God for him. She did so, and said— 
“Tf thou arrivest in thy country, God 
will have mercy upon thee. Thou shalt 
possess the kingdom of the Picts in 
peace." 

It wil be noticed in the Brev. 
Aberdeen that in the life of S. Winnin, 
mention is made of a stone cross of 


BRIGIDA. 


marvellous workmanship, which, with 
his own hands, he erected in honour 
of S. Brigida ; and, as might be expected, 
her dedications are found in those parts 
of Seotland which were nearest to Ire- 
land and under Irish influence. Thus we 
have S. Bride's convent in the parish of 
Kilmorie in Bute (N. S. A., Bute, p. 54); 
East Kilbride, seven miles from Glasgow 
(N. S. A., Lanark, p. 877) ; her chapel 
at Rothesay (N. S. A., Bute, p. 103); 
her parishes, Kilbride in Arran, in Crom- 
marty, and in Uist (N. S. A., No. 27, 1); 
in Lorn (O. S. A, ii. 826) ; her spring 
at Dunsyre in Lanarkshire (N. S. A, iii. 
66) and at Traquair; her chapel and 
burn at Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire 
(N. S. A., 53, pp. 354-366) ; the lands of 
S. Brydehill, in Dumfriesshire (Retours, 
Dumfries, No. 212); her chapel and 
well at Beath in Ayrshire (N. S. A., Ayr, 
581); her church at Kirkcolm, at Kirk- 
mabreck, in Wigtonshire (N. S. A., Wig- 
ton, p. 111) Her dedication is found in 
the Lewes at Borve (N. S. A., Ross, 145) ; 
in Stronsay and Papa in the Orkneys. 
She was honoured at Auchtergaven and 
Blairatholl in Perthshire, on the other 
side of the Drumalban.—(N. S. A., Perth, 
426.) Again, in Forfarshire we have S. 
Brides Ring at Kingenny, a scarped 
upburst of trap-rock out of the surround- 
ing red sandstone, not far from the Laws. 
In Aberdeenshire we have S. Bride’s 
Rock at Tomantoul, her churches at 
Cushnie (V. D. A., p. 593), and Crochaul 
(V. D. A, p. 642), and Kildrummie 
(V. D. A, p. 589), Skene (V. D. A, p. 
279). She is associated with S. Nicholas 
in Stronsay and Papa. Fairs were held in 
her honour in Forres and Inverness. She

has a chapel near Clackmannan.—(Re- 
tours, Clackmannan, No. 26.) 

The latest church I find dedicated to 
S. Brigid is the new church of Dunnot- 
tar, consecrated in 1394. — (Jervise's 
Memorials of Angus, p. 448.) 

The church of S. Brigidain theprovince 
of Athol was reputed famous for miracles, 
and a portion of her relies was kept with 
great veneration in the monastery of 
regular canons at Abernethy.—(Alban 
Butler, quoting Major de Gestis Scoto- 
rum, l. 2, c. 14) 

The Chartulary of Holyrood (p. 42) 
mentions the Ecclesia S" Brigide de 
Blacket, and at p. 57 of Loublacket ; 
that of Kelso (p. 153) gives her church 
of Kype; that of Glasgow (p. 120); the 
Church of Wintertonegenin Valle de Niht. 
She. was patroness of the great family of 
Douglas, and the church of Douglas 
bears her name.—(Barbour's Bruce, lib. 
iv. 1. 336, p. 118, Spalding Club.) 

Dr. Oliver, in his “Collections towards 
illustrating the Biography of the Scotch, 
English, and Irish members of the 
Society of Jesus,” p. 17, says, “ The 
learned Alban Butler in a note to the 
Life of S. Felan (9th January), and again 
in his Life of S. Duthae (8th March), 
and of S. Constantine (11th March), 
refers to the MS. Memoirs of the Scotch 
Saints, compiled by a Scotch Jesuit, and 
preserved in the Scotch College at Paris. 
The compiler was no other than Father 
Patrick Anderson. For, in his original 
letter addressed to the General of her 
Order, Father Mutius Vitelleschi, and 
dated 14th May 1620, from his prison 
in Edinburgh, I read, *Commendo Pater- 
nitati vestree Alumnos collegii Scotorum, 


291 


quibus consolatione erit non mediocri, ut 
typis mandentur Vitz Sanctorum Scoto- 
Tum quasego magno sane labore congessi.” 


BRIGIDA IL V. March 14.—A 
Scotch S. Brigida’s relics were pre- 
served in Abernethy. It is probable 
that there were two saints of this name. 
—(See Ussher, Works, edition Elring- 
ton, vol. vi. 256, 257, 451.) A Brigida 
is said, in the Irish Life of S. Cuthbert, 
to have been brought from Ireland, and 
educated by S. Columba with S. Cuth- 
bert at Dunkeld.—(Libellus de Nativi- 
tate S. Cuthberti, c. xxi) The Brigida of 
Abernethy is associated with the nine 
Maidens. See MAZOTA. 


BRIOC, B. April 29 and 30, A.D. 500. 
—S. Brioc or Brieuc was the disciple of S. 
Germanusof Auxerre, and thepatron saint 
of Rothesay, where his name is preserved 
in S. Brock's Fair on the first Wednesday 
in May.—(O. S. A.,i. p. 301 ; Orig. Par. 
ii. 223, 239.) In the list of “ Faires of 
fayre Scotland" (Aberdeen Almanack, 
1665), at the 16th of November, is 
Bryak fair, but it is assigned to no 
particular place. The same dedication 
occurs in Inchbrayoch, an island in the 
South Esk, just below Montrose. —(Pref. 
Regist. Vetus de Aberbrothock, pp. 28, 
339.) Dunrod in Kirkcudbrightshire was 
dedicated by S. Mary and S. Brioc.—(Lib. 
Sanctz Crucis, p. 20.) Sir Harris Nicolas, 
in his Alphabetical Kalendar, gives, at 
this day, * Brieu, Briocus, Briomachius, 
or Vriomachius.” The Bollandists assign 
the 1st of May to this saint.—(Act. 
Sanct. Maii, i 91.) His acts have been 
recorded by Lobineau, Vies des Saints 
de la Bretagne, p. 11.

BUITE, or BOETHIUS. December 
7, AD. 521.—Buite of the Monastery, 
the son of Bronach, was of the race of 
Connla. In habits he was like Beda. 
He died in 521,0n the day that S. Colum- 
cille was born. The Latin life of him (MS. 
Bodl Rawl B. 505, Brit. M. Clarend. 
xxxix.) states that afterthirty years’ pere- 
grination in Italy, he returned with S. 
Codrus, and some devout persons who 
joined him in Germany ; that he restored 
to life the daughter of the king of Dal- 
riada, and Nectan, king of the Picts, 
from whom he received a grant of the 
Castrum in which he had performed the 
miracle where he founded a church. 
This is, according to Mr. Skene, pro- 
bably Carbuddo, quasi Castrum Boethii. 
There is still the remains of a Castrum 
there, and it is not far from Dunnichen. 
He went to the Kyanactei, but was re- 
pelled as a foreigner.—(Skene, Chron- 
icles of Picts and Scots, pp. 1xxiv. 410.) 
He foretold Columkille’s birth.—(Mart. 
Donegal, p. 329.) 

There is the Byth market in Aber- 
deen.—(N. S. A., xii. p. 273.) 


CADOO, B. M. January 24, A.D. cir. 
514.—Cadocus, Cathinail, or Cattwg 
Ddoeth (or the Wise), was the son of 
Gundlleus or Gwynllyw Filwr, by Gla- 
dusa or Gladys, daughter of Braghan or 
Brechan, from whom Brecknock takes 
itsname. He was educated by an Irish 
anchorite Meuthi, and refusing to suc- 
ceed his father in his principality, he 
went to Gwent, where he studied under 
the Irish S. Tathai He himself be- 
came the first abbot of Llancarvan, 
near Cowbridge. He was the friend 


BUITE—CADOC. 


of Dubricius, and the means of the 
conversion of S. Iltutus. He sailed to 
Ireland, and came to the chiefs of the 
country called Lismore Muchuta. The 
connection at the time between Ire- 
land and Wales was close. Capgrave 
relates a miracle of the restoration to life 
of an Irish artisan, who came to help in 
the construction of an oratory,— qui 
operarios omnes subtili artificio super- 
abat" (fol. liii) Returning from Ireland 
he settled in Brycheniog, where he was 
instructed by Bachan. After retiring 
to Llancarvan he undertook a long jour- 
ney, landed at the island of Grimbal, to 
which, after visiting Greece and Jeru- 
salem, he returned. After a difference 
with S. David about the synod held 
in his absence at Brevi on (according 
to the legend) Pelagianism, he went to 
the island of Barren (Barra!) and Echni 


: (Ethica or Tiree ?), and to Nantcarvan. 


He delivered King Rhun from the men of 
Gwynllwg, and went to Scotland, where, 
after worshipping at the shrine of S. 
Andrew, he returned *ad quandam ur- 
bem qui citra montem Bannauc qui in 
medio Albanie situs perhibetur," where 
he was told to remain seven years. In 
consequence of the miracle of the restor- 
ation of a giant to life and to repentance, 
the reguli of Albania gave him twenty- 
four villee.—(Rees’ Cambro-British Saints, 
pp. 57, 58.) At the monastery there was 
a porch in which the bodies of three of 
his disciples lay covered with marble 
monuments, and a certain hole through 
which men put their hands when they 
made solemn oaths.—(Ibid. p. 264. See 
Colgan, Acta SS. Hib., 24th January, 
p. 158 ; Ussher, Works, v. 530.) 


CADOC—CADROE. 


Cambuslang is dedicated to him, and 
through the adjoining parish of Car- 
munnock runs a range of hills, called 
the Cathkin hills, which separates Strath- 
clyde from Ayrshire, and terminates in 
Renfrewshire (Strathgray). This must be 
the “ montem Bannauc,” and the name is 
preserved in Carmunnock, B passing into 
M in Welsh when in combination — 
(Skene’s Four Ancient Books of Wales, 
vol. i. p. 174.) 

He is mentioned in connection with 
Arthur, and the miracles narrated of him 
are just such as we should expect in so 
disturbed a eountry as Wales. He had ne- 
gotiations with Gildas about a bell, which 
he wished to buy, and which, though offer- 
ed'to S. Peter, the Pope sent back to him. 
He performed a miracle at S. Michael's 
Mount in Cornwall; and a church is said 
to be dedicated to him near a fountain 
which he called forth from the earth. 
Warned by an angel to leave the land 
of Britannia, he was carried on a white 
cloud “ad civitatem Beneventanam ” 
(which Butler, ad diem, supposes to be 
Benevenna, the Roman name for Weedon 
in Northamptonshire) where he was 
elected abbot, termed Sophias, and 
finally ordained bishop. He was mar- 
tyred by a cruel process at the altar. 
It is evident that there is a corifusion here 
of two persons. S. Cadoc is supposed 
to have lived one hundred and twenty 
years, and many churches were called 
after him. — (Rees' Essay on Welsh 
Saints, p. 177. See also Rees’ Lives 
of the Cambro-British Saints, 22-96; 
Capgrave, Legenda Nova Anglis, lii. ; 
Montalembert, Les Moines d’Occident, 
vol. iii, p. 55-78, Paris, 1868.)

CADROE. March 6, A.D. 975.— 
S. Cadroé was the son of Faiteach and 
Bania. By miracle his father was in- 
duced to give him to be trained by his 
uncle Beanus, who appears to have lived 
in Alba, and is probably S. Bean of 
Kinkell (see BEAN) There is a pretty 
story of the young saint’s being recalled 
froman act of vengeance bya triple appeal 
to the Holy Scriptures. He was sent 
by his uncle to be educated in religious 
and secular learning at Armagh. Then 
he returned to Beanus, and instructed 
his countrymen * in disciplinis artium ;” 
but his call was approaching. Beanus be- 
held in a vision three caves, with a bright 
shore in the distance, each of which the 
youth had to pass, indicating respectively 
the abandonment of property, the re- 
linquishment of country, and the exer- 
cise of the monastic life. Seized with 
the desire of going on pilgrimage, he was 
restrained by the influence of his people; 
but he passed the night in the river 
reciting part of the psalter. Again he 
determined on leaving, and after an ex- 
citing scene of remonstrance from the 
people, he was allowed to go, laden with 
gifts, to the land of the Cumbri. King 
Donevald, i.e. Dunwallon, King of Cum- 
bria or Strathclyde, kindly received him. 
In the district of Loidis (Leeds) he was 
welcomed by Guneric, by whom he was 
brought to King Erichius (Eric, the 
Danish king of Northumbria) at York. 
At London, as the guest of Heyfrid, 
he extinguished a fire by his prayers, 
and visited King Heymond at Winches- 
ter in AD. 940; after pleasant inter- 
course with Archbishop Otto (or Odo), 
he set sail for his journey from a port 


294 


called Hymen, which is conjectured to 
be Hampton or Southampton. Visiting 
Peronne, he was offered the charge of an 
abbey by Hersinda, at S. Michael, in 
Silvà 'Theorascensi; but, refusing it, 
he imposed the office on S. Malcallan, 
and assumed the monastic habit at 
Florianum, i.e. S. Bennet's on the 
Loire.—(Butler, ad diem.) Then he 
became abbot of Walciodorus or 
Wassous, an abbey on the Meuse, be- 
tween Dinant and Givet; and was moved 
by Adelbert, bishop of Metz, to the 
monastery of S. Clement, which he re- 
formed in 960. He died, after a six 
days' visit to Adelaide, mother of the 
Emperor Otho IL, at Neristein, in 975, 
in the seventieth year of his age, and the 
thirtieth of his wanderings.—(Life of 
S. Cadroé, from MS. formerly at St. 
Hubert, given in Colgan, A. SS. Hib., 
pP. 494; and Act. Sanct. Mart. tom. i. 
p. 468 ; also Anglo-Saxon Chron. 947- 
952.) 


CAILTANUS. February 25, A.D. 
580.—Cuillenda, the mother of Cail- 
tanus, Colga, or Colgius, according to 
the treatise of S. ZEngus on the mothers 
of the Saints of Ireland, had secretly 
committed adultery. S. Columba, ad- 
monished of this, instructed S. Colga 
to question her, whereupon she was 
brought to confession and repentance.— 
(Reeves Adamnan, lib. i c. 17, p. 46.) 
Colgan puts him at the 21st of July.— 
(Colg. Trias Th., p. 380.) He was wit- 
ness of a celestial light which surround- 
ed S. Columba as he prayed, and was 
warned by him against intruding into 
matters too deep for him. His sister

was Faillen, and his brothers Aedh and 
Sorarius He lived about 580. He 

-is honoured at Kilcolgan in Galway. 
Dempster at the 29th Nov. has * Loch- 
abria Golgi A.” 


CAINNERE. Vide KENNERE. 


CAIRNAAN. January 31, April 28, 
cir. 600. Cairnaan or Caornan, the son 
of Brandubh, the son of Meilge, was one 
of the twelve disciples and relations of 
S. Columba. — (Reeves Adamnan, p. 
246.) 


CALLEN, Nov. 28.—In the parish 
of Rogart, in Caithness, the church, 
dedicated apparently to a saint locally 
known as S. Callen, was repaired be- 
tween 1602 and 1619. In 1630 a 
yearly fair, named S. Callen's, was held 
at Rogart.—(Orig. Par. ii. pp. 719-721.) 
Dempster has at Nov. 28, “In Scotia 
Calani Episcopi Culdei.” But it may be 
that this saint is Colga. 


CALMAIG.—Kilmochalmaig, in the 
parish of Rothesay, is the site of an early 
church near Ettrick, on the west coast of 
the Isle of Bute. Here is a rude pillar, 
on the west face of which is a cross of 
an early form within a circle.—(Stuart's 
Sculptured Stones, vol ii. p. 30, and 
Plate lvi.; N. S. A. vol. v. Bute, 103; 
Orig. Par. ii 224) There is, pro- 
perly speaking, no saint of this name. 
The correct name is Colman, with the 
suffix og. He occurs, with the prefix 
mo, at June 7 in the Irish Martyrologies, 
as Mocholmog, Bishop of Drummore. 
He is evidently the S. Colmoc of the 
6th June in the Scots Kalendars. 


CALMONEL—CANICUS. 


At Portmahomack (in Tarbet), called, 
according to a writer of the seventeenth 
century, Portus Columbi, but probably 
meaning the port of S. Colmac or S. Cal- 
maig, there is a green hill known as 
Chapel Hill or Knockshorty, on which a 
chapel appears to have stood.—(Orig. 
Par. ii 434) Vide Conmoc. 


CALMONEL. Vide Cotman EALA. 


CANICUS. October 11, A.D. 598.— 
This great Saint, who in Ireland is 
better known as S. Canice or Cainnech, 
and in Scotland as S. Kenneth, Cham- 
necus, or Cahinnieus, was of the race of 
Ciar, son of Fergus, son of Ross, son of 
Rudraighe. “Achadh-bo was his principal 
church, and there is an abbey of his at 
Cill-righmonadh (S. Andrews) in Alba.” 
—(Mart. Donegal, p. 271.) There are 
three other Cainnechs, and the author 
of the Martyrology is doubtful to which 
of them an attribution of similarity to S. 
Philip in a certain ancient book applies. 
If he is mistaken, he asks forgiveness of 
the real saint. He is patron of Kil- 
kenny and of the diocese of Ossory. 

The late Marquis of Ormonde printed 
privately the life of this saint from the 
Codex Salmanticensis in the Burgundian 
Library at Brussels, marked P.MS., 
which formerly belonged to the Irish 
College at Salamanca, and contains the 
lives of forty-six saints. Another life 
is found in what is incorrectly called the 
Liber Kilkenniensis in Primate Marsh's 
library in Dublin. 

S. Kannechus was born A.D. 517, of 
the tribe of Corco Dalann, “de genere 
Corcotolaro ab aquilonari parte hujus in- 


295 


Sule." Unlike most of the saints of his 
country, his parents were poor. His 
father was a bard, Laitech Luerd or 
Lugayd, of a race originally settled 
in the island of Nulage, probably Inis 
Doimhle or Little Island, on the Suir, 
S.E. of Waterford. His mother, 
Meld or Mella, was of the race of 
Macgnais or Macnaes. The place of his 
birth, Kiannaght, is in the County 
Derry, and is termed Vallis pellium or 
Glengiven. Being baptized by Bishop 
Luceth or Lryrech, he was brought up 
in his mother’s country at a place 
not now identified. He went over to 
Wales, to S. Cadocus (Cattwg Ddoeth), 
whose love he won by the spirit of 
obedience, which was so prompt that 
when called by his teacher he left a letter 
half-finished in his transcription. Con- 
quering the envy of his companions by 
miracle, he afterwards proceeded to 
Italy, to the “ limina apostolorum." In 
one town of Italy, by exhibition of super- 
natural power, he received a grant of 
as much land “as the eye could see in a 
bright day," and the name of Kannech is 
to this day held in honour. What this 
place is we cannot say, but the circum- 
stance that S. Donatus at Fiesole and S. 
Cathaldus at Tarentum were Irishmen 
makes it probable that this legend is 
founded on fact. He returned to his own 
country, the region of Kiannaght, and 
dwelt in Donegal at Collum Ruaidh. At 
this time he studied underS. Mobhi of the 
flat face, and his co-disciples were SS. 
Kieran, Comgall, and Columba; and Col- 
gan gives, from the fifth life of S. Colum- 
ba (Trias Th. p. 397), a pretty story of 
their conversation when permitted to 


296 


speak at table. The same story is told 
of S. Cummin Fota.—(See Todd’s Lib. 
Hymnorum, p. 87.) Kainnech studied 
under S. Finian in the school of Clon- 
ard, where he was a fellow disciple with 
S. Columba. Here also, with S. Bren- 
dan, he first saw S. Aedh, whose future 
glory was announced by S. Brendan see- 
ing angels round him, which sight was 
withheld from Kainnech. After visiting 
S. Comgall he went to that part of 
Britain now called Scotland, where he 
lived in a sunless place at the foot 
of a mountain. An angel offered to 
remove it and cast it into the sea, but 
the saint refused, and the mountain to 
this day exhibits a fissure. Then, after 
two miracles in which the Holy Scrip- 
tures were preserved from fire and wind, 
he restored a woman half-dead with cold, 
and her little daughter from actual 
death, as he crossed the Dorsum Brit- 
tannie (Drumalban), and in that place, 
at this day, his biographer says great 
crosses may be seen. 

Going to Hy, he smote his head 
on the altar as he kissed it, and the 
blood which flowed from the wound 
healed the daughter of Brudeus, king of 
the Picts. Here he almost quarrelled 
with S. Columba and S. Bathen for 
exacting a hard-hearted act of obedience 
from a pious layman called Tulcan, of the 
family of Hy Neill, whom they ordered 
to slay his child, afterwards the cele- 
brated S. Mun. Kainnech seems also to 
have visited Heth or Tyree (the Ethica 
terra, or land of wheat), on which there 
is a farm called Kill-Cainnich. (See 
Dr. Reeves’ Memoir on Tiree.) 

S. Kainnech continued to sojourn in 


CANICUS. 


the Western Islands, some of which, 
such as Ibdon and Eninis, or the 
island of birds, are specified, but not 
identified. He now returned to Ireland, 
landing at Airte in Kiennacht, and after 
visiting his sister Columba, and restoring 
her servant Berchan of Clonsast, he ap- 
peared at the court of King Cormac, 
son of Diarmait, king of Leinster. 
Many instances are cited of his having 
raised the dead. At Niel, by a 
wayside cross, he restored to life 
Colman Modicus, son of Dermicius, 
who had been strangled. At Athedh 
Drummoto, in Leinster, a woman was re- 
stored by atunic laid on her. At anun- 
nery in Cluain Siscnan, he not only re- 
called to life, but gave soundness to a 
blind, deaf, and dumb foundling, Emene 
of the grandsons of Duach. «At the court 
of Cormac he saved from the cruel death 
termed Gialchend—the stranger’s doom, 
whereby men were thrown on sharp 
spears — Dolne  Lebdere, afterwards 
founder of Kelldolne. From time to time 
the saint retired into solitude in several 
places. He returned to public life, to 
help his friend Colman, son of Fera- 
deth, king of Ossory, in his utmost 
strait. In the island of Crie, the 


'*Insula viventium" near Roscrea, he 


fasted forty days and forty nights. 
There he had a visit of evil spirits, who 
were contending for the soul of Hi Mollib 
of Muscrigi, and who were defeated 
by.the dying man having repeated the 
hymn of Patrick before his decease. He 
remained at Loch Cre a long time. He 
wrote a copy of the four Gospels, which 
at the time of the composition of the 
life remained at Glas-kanneche. In this 


CANICUS—CARAN. 297 


place he had been taught the sense of 
the Gospels by * the Son of the Virgin" 
Himself, as he once declared in Hy to 
S. Columkille. Other wonders were 
performed by him, especially at the 
island of the grandsons of Conkyun and 
at the place termed Hi Cluain Bronich 
(now Clonbrony); and when the day of 
his departure came, he was sick all over, 
and could not receive the Sacrifice from 
any of his own family or community, 
saying, * God will send me another 
holy man, who wil give me the 
Body of Christ.” Then S. Fintan came 
to him from the Lord, and receiving 
from his hands the Eucharist, he de- 
parted to the Lord Jesus Christ, to 
whom be glory and honour for ever and 
ever, amen.—(See Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 
121, note b, p. 220, n; and Ussher, 
Works, vi. 526.) 

NexttoS. Brigidaand S. Columba, if we 
may measure popularity by dedications, 
S. Kenneth is the favourite Irish Saint 
in Scotland. The fact of his visit to S. 
Andrews is corroborated by the dedica- 
tion of Kennaway— qui in Kennoquhy 
in diocesi S. Andree pro patrono habe- 
tur."—(Brev. Aberd. p. estiv. fol. exxv. ; 
N.S. A, Fife, p. 390.) Then we have 
Chenzie Island in the river of Islay, 
Inch Kenneth or Inch Kenzie, “insula 
S. Kennethi cujus ibidem est ecclesia 
parochialis" (Fordun, Scotich. ii. 10, 
ed. Goodall i 45; Orig. Par. ii 
316); Kilehenzie in Cantyre (O. S. 
A. xix. 628; Orig. Par. ii 20); Kil- 
keneth in Tiree (O. S. A. x. 402; see 
a paper by Rev. Dr. Reeves, Ulster 
Journal of Archzol ii. 242); and Kil- 
chainnech in Hy (Reeves’ Adamnan, pp. 


417, 432). Of Maiden Castle, in Fife, 
Boece writes, "Supersunt inter Divi 
Kenethi templum et Levinum amnem, 
eadem in regione, arcis septem vallis 
olim septe, totidemque fossis, uti nunc 
est videre, vestigia, ubi hujus clarissimi 
viri post eum vita functum posteritas 
longa secula habitavit."—(Scotor. Hist. 
lib. x. 199a, ed. 1575.) Lagan had an 
old church dedicated to him (N. S. A., 
Inverness, p. 426); Inchkenneth or S. 
Kennedy (Orig. Par. ii. 316) ; Kilchainie 
in S. Uist (ibid. ii. 368) ; Kilchenzie or 
Maybole (N. S. A., Ayr, p. 368) ; Inch 
Kenneth (Monro's Western Isles, p. 120); 
and the great abbey of Cambuskenneth 
(O. S. A. xviii. 137). 


CAOIMHE. November 2.—Caoimhe, 
the Albanan of Cill-Chaoimhe.—(Mart. 
Donegal, p. 295.) 


CARAN, B. C. December 23, A.D. 
669.—The S. Caran who, according to 
the Breviary of Aberdeen, was a bishop 
and confessor, honoured at Premecht or 
Premnay and at Fetteresso, must not be 
confounded with any of the seventeen 
Ciarans of the Irish Kalendar, of whom 
the chief were S. Ciaran, the carpenter of 
Clonmaenois (September 9),and S. Ciaran 
of Saghir (March 5), the former of whom 
occurs in King's Kalendar as Queranus. 

The Trish form of the name is Coran, 
and it may be that he is the Corindu or 
Corinnu, whose death, along with S. 
Ethernan's, Tighernac records as occur- 
ring in 669, * apud Pictones.”—(Skene, 
Chron. of the Picts and Scots, p. 71.) 
He appears at this day as Moghorog of 
Deirgne in the Martyrology of Donegal. 


2Q 


298 


The Collect gives no indication of his 
history, and there are no lections. The 
former is to this effect :— 

“O God, the creator and ruler of all 
things, by whose goodness all things 
were made out of nothing, hear thy ser- 
vants constantly invoking thee; that, by 
the intercession of blessed Caranus, thy 
bishop and confessor, we may be succes- 
fully delivered from the pains due to our 
past sins, for the Lord’s sake.” 

Whether the S. Ciaran whois honoured 
in Strathmore, in Sutherlandshire (N. S. 
A., Sutherland, p. 74), be this saint or 
not, it is certain that he is not the saint 
whose name occurs on the west coast 
at Kilkerran. He is probably an east 
country saint, for, in addition to the 
churches of Fetteresso (Regist. Vetus de 
Aberbrothock, p. 60) and Premnay (V. 
D. A, p. 550), we have S. Carran's 
Well at Drumlithie, in the parish of 
Glenbervie. 


CARDEN.—The church of Kilmalie 
and Loth, apparently dedicated to a 
saint known as S. Carden, has always 
stood on the present site, near the shore, 
between the burn of Loth and a smaller 
stream. There was a yearly fair called 
S. Carden's fair —(Orig. Par. ii 731- 
733.) The name may be a corruption 
of Carthen. 


CARITAN or CURITAN. 
See BONIFACIUS. 


March 16. 


CARNAC. May 16.—He is Cair- 
nech. There is a saint of this name of 
Tuilen, May 16 (Mart. Donegal, p. 133), 
concerning whom, in regard that “he was 


CARDEN—CATHAN. 


of the Bretons,” see Appendix to Dr, 
Todd's Irish Nennius (pp. ci. cx. 178), 
and the Life of S. Cairnech in Rees' 
Welsh Saints, p. 209. Heis probably the 
S. Carnocus Episcopus Culdzus of the 
15th June.—(Camerarius, p. 169.) Car- 
annog, in Latin Carantocus, a brother of 
Tyssul, was founderof the church of Llan- 
grannog, Cardiganshire. The day of his 
commemorationis May 16. He was the 
son or grandson of Ceredig. His father 
wished to resign the kingdom to him, 
but he preferred the religious life. He 
passed into Ireland, impelled by his love 
for S. Patrick. Going forth to evangel- 
ise the country, they agreed to meet 
every year. Àn angel, who accompanied 
him, changed his name to Cernach. 
He returned to Britain, but eventually 
died in Ireland, and was buried in his 
own city, which from him was called 
Cernach. 

On the Haugh of Laithers, opposite the 
Boat of Magie, in the parish of Turriff, 
were lately to be seen the remains of a 
chapel which was said to have been 
dedicated to S. Carnac.—(N. S. A., Aber- 
deen, p. 993.) 


CATHAN, B. May 17, av. 710.— 
S. Cathan is honoured in the Isle of 
Bute. The life of S. Blane, in the Bre- 
viary of Aberdeen, states that Cathan was 
uncle to that saint, whom he ordained 
and consecrated bishop.—(Brev. Aberd., 
p. estiv. fol. lxxviii) We know little 
more of his life. At Stornoway there 
was a cell of the Abbey of Inchaffray, 
from which it had its first prior. It was 
said to have been the residence of S. 
Catan, and to contain the remains of its 


CATHEL—CHARMAITG. 


founder.—(Orig. Par. ii 381.) In Scar- 
inche were his “ exuvie.”—(Keith’s Scot- 
tish Bishops, ed. Russel, p. 393.) 

Many traces of this saint are to be 
found in the west of Scotland. We 
have him—1. at Kilcattan, in Kilblane, 
in Bute (Orig. Par. ii. 9; O. S. A., vol. 
viii. 56); 2. at Kilchattan, in Luing Island 
(Orig. Par. ii. 100); 3. at Ard-chattan 
or Ballybodan (Orig. Par. ii. 148) ; 4. 
at Kilchatan Bay, and at Kilchatan Mill, 
and Suidhe Chatain in Kingarth in Bute, 
which was his chief seat (Orig. Par. ii. 
210, 214; N. S. A. v. 83, 84); 5. at 
Gigha, where is a church called after 
him, and of which he is patron (Orig. 
Par. ii 257); 6.in Colonsay (ibid. ii. 
280) ; for S. Cathanus of Over Ruthven 
see Lib. Insule Missar. viii. 4, 8, 18. 
It was given by Gilbert, Earl of Strath- 
earn, to the Abbey of Inchaffray.— 
(Douglas' Peerage, ii. 556.) 


CATHEL.—The Retours (Fife, 144) 
give us * Joannes Arnot in Pitlessie, 
heres Jacobi Arnot de Chappel-Cattel” 
in the parish of Lathrisk. This is pro- 
bably “Cathchan, bishop of Rath der 
Thaige” (Catallus, i.e. Cathal), of the 
20th of March.—(Mart. Donegal, 371.) 


CATHERNA. —* There is another 
church, called Kileatherin, on Loch 
Fyne, not far from Glengoil.”—(Orig. 
Par. ii. 77.) 

In Ireland there is also a Kilcathern 
(Cill-Catigerna), in the county of Cork, 
and Cill-Catherina, in Westmeath. 


CEODE, B. A.D. 712.—Tighernac at 
this date gives the death of the first re- 


299 


corded Bishop of Hy, * Ceode Episcopus 
Tea pausat.” 

“The same year (710, according to 
the Chronicle of Ireland, as Colgan in- 
forms us) died Caideus or Caidenus, 
Bishop of Ycolmkill.—(Innes, Civ. and 
Eccl. Hist. 308.) It is doubtful, however, 
whether he be the Caideus or Caidocus 
of the 25th Oct.—(Mart. Donegal, 284, 
285, and 373.) 


CEOLLA, B. June 2.-—Ceolla, of the 
Scottish nation, succeeded Diuma in 
the bishopric of the Mid-Angles. He 
left his bishopric, and returned to Hy. 
—(Beda, H. E., lib. iii. c. 22-24.) 


CEROTTIS. See THEORETUS. 


CHAMMAK.—In the parish of Kil- 
colmonell, in Cantyre, is a place called 
Kilchammach, Kilchammak (Orig. Par. 
ii. 29), Kileamok (ibid. ii 31), Kil 
chammig (ibid. 32, 47), Kilchammaig 
(ibid. 38), indicating the existence of a 
saint whose name, divested of the affec- 
tionate ak or og, becomes Commanus or 
Comanus. See COMMANUS. 


CHARMAIG. March 16, cir. A.D. 640. 
— The Church of $. Charmaig or 
Mac-ua-Charmaig, in Knapdale, which 
belonged to the monks of Kilwinning in 
1263, is said (Orig. Par. ii. 39) to have 
stood either on the island named Ellan- 
more or at Keils on the headland west 
of Loch Swein, at each of which places 
is a church bearing the name of S. 
Charmaig. This is not quite correct: 
the mother church was at Keils, and 
was called Kell vic o Charmaig. On 


300 


Eilean Mor was a chapel or hermitage, 
and it was called Eilean Mor vic 
o Charmaig.— (Information by Mr. 
Skene.) This name, hibernicised into 
S. Cormac in the patronymic Mac-ua- 
Charmaig, is the name of S. Abbanus, of 
whom S. Angus in his litany says, * These 
fifty men of orders, regulars, each one 
of the Gael, went upon a pilgrimage in 
one synod with Abban Mac-ua-Cormaig." 
Mention is made of a S. Cormach, grand- 
son of Lethon, in the life of S. Columba. 
He desired to be an island saint, and 
“tribus non minus vicibus, eremum in 
oceano laboriose quesivit.—(Reeves’ Ad- 
amnan, pp. 30, 166.) He was celebrated 
in the Hebrides, and died in Orkney.— 
(Camerarius,p.108.) “Theisland church, 
styled by Fordun a sanctuary, has two 
compartments, and in the wall several 
recesses, in one of which is a recumbent 
figure believed to be his image.”— 
(Stuart’s Sculptured Stones, vol. ii. 23.) 

Blaeu in his Atlas calls the island Kil- 
ma-Charmaig.—(Orig. Par. ii. 39-41.) 

Mac-Cormaig is a patron in Islay.— 
(Martin, Western Isles, p. 118; O. S. A. 
vi 258; N. S. A, Argyle 635. In 
the parish of Kelton in Kirkcudbright 
is Kirkormock or Kirk-cormaig.—(O. 
S. A. vol. viii. p. 297.) 

For the weird legend of Ellanmore, 
Kil-vic-o-Charmaig, see O. S. A. vol. xix. 
pp. 315, 309. 


CHOUSLAND. Sce CONSTANTINE. 


CHRISTINA, V. November 26, A.D. 
1085.—In the monastery of Romsey 
the commemoration of S. Christina, 
sister of S. Margaret of Scotland, who, 


CHOUSLAND—CHROSTAN. 


entering into that religious community, 
with her holy mother, Agatha, concluded 
a saintly life in 1080.—(Memorial of 
British Piety, 164; Anglo-Sax. Chron. 
ad ann. 1086.) 

Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra (vol. i. 
295), gives from the Annals of the 
Church of Winchester, under the year 
1086, “Cristina virgo, Deo devota, 
Regis filia, sanctimonialis facta est apud 
Rumesiam.” See also Gentleman’s 
Magazine, February 1863, vol. cexiv. 
p. 198. She educated Editha, daughter 
of Malcolm I, and Margaret, better 
known as good Queen Maud, the wife 
of Henry of England. 


CHROMANUS or CHRONANUS. 
January 4, A.D. 641.—8. Chroman was 
celebrated in Cunningham in Ayrshire. 
He is said to have died there in 641, 
repeating often, * My heart and my flesh 
rejoice in the living God. My soul 
hath a desire and longing to enter into 
the courts of the Lord."—(Camerarius, 
p. 75.) 


CHROMANUS or CHRONANUS. 
May 15, a.p. 944.—He was priest and 
confessor in Mernia, a strenuous defender 
of ecclesiastical rites, and of the Catholic 
celebration of Easter. He died in 944. 
—/(Camerarius, p. 144. He gives no 
authorities.) He is mentioned in Beda 
as one of those to whom the letter 
from the Church of Rome is addressed. 
—(Beda, H. E., lib. ii. c. xix.) 


CHROSTAN.—“ The designation (of 
Urquhart) in Gaelic is Urach dun mu 
(ma) Chrostan—Anglicé, The benefit of, 


CIANAN—COAIN. 


or endowed by, Crostan.” (N.S. A., Ross 
and Cromarty, 364.) This is incorrect 
as a matter of philology. Urach diun 
is simply the Gaelic for Urquhart. 


CIANAN. November 24.—In the 
Trish Kalendar he ispatronsaintof Duleek 
in Meath.—(Mart. Donegal, p. 315.) He 
appears in a place called Kilcianaig in 
Jura.—(N. S. A., Inverness, p. 539.) 


CIARAN. See QUERANUS. 


CILLEN, A. July 3, av. 781.— 
Cillen Droichtech was Abbot of Iona. 
He brought to Ireland the shrine or the 
many relies which Adamnan had col- 
lected to make peace between the Cinel- 
Conaill and the Cinel-Eoghain.—(Mart. 
Donegal, p. 185.) He succeeded to the 
Abbacy in 726. (See Reeves Adam- 
nan, p. 382.) 

There is a church dedicated to 8. 
Killen in Laggan.—(N. S. A., Inverness, 
p. 426.) 


CINERIA, V.—Cineria was one of 
the virgins from Colossia, who were said 
to have accompanied S. Regulus, and were 
buried at the Church of S. Anaglas in S. 
Andrews.—(Legend of S. Andrew, in 
Skene's Chron. Picts and Scots, p. 187.) 
Vide KENNERE. 


CLEMENT, B. March 19, AD. 
1258. S. Clement was Bishop of Dun- 
blane, not of Dublin. He introduced 
the Dominican Order into Scotland, 
having received the habit from the saint 
himself.—(Camerarius, p. 118.) Fordun 


301 


tells us that he was a celebrated preacher, 
and skilled in various languages, a man 
powerful in word and deed before God 
and man, who found his cathedral 
church so impoverished (aporiatum) by 
the carelessness of his predecessor, that 
the divine mysteries were only celebrated 
therein thrice a-week, like a country 
chapel He made ita fine church, en- 
dowed it with lands, and established 
prebendaries and canons in it. He died 
in 1266, according to Bower, the con- 
tinuator of Fordun (Scotichron. ed. 
Goodall, ii. 92). But the Chron. of 
Melrose, a more trustworthy authority, 
records his death in 1258. 

The Dominican order possessed fifteen 
convents in Scotland :—1. Edinburgh ; 
2. Berwick; 3. Ayr; 4. Montrose; 5. 
Perth ; 6. Aberdeen ; 7. Elgin ; 8. Stir- 
ling; 9. Inverness; 10. Wigton; 11. 
Dundee ; 12. Coupar in Fife; 13. 8. 
Monans ; 14. S. Andrews ; 15. Glasgow. 
—(Keith's Scottish Bishops, ed. Russel, 
p. 447.) Boece mentions that Alexan- 
der IL met S. Dominic in France, and 
besought him to send friars into his 
kingdom.— (Scotor. Hist. lib. xiii f. 
283a, ed. 1575.) 

Futtie, and a church in Dundee, were 
dedicated to S. Clement, but to S. 
Clement of Rome ; who, being martyred 
by being cast into the sea with an 
anchor, was patron of sailors. In the 
parish of Strath “we have Tobar Chlea- 
men, or S. Clement's Well.—(N. 8. A., 
Inverness, p. 306.) The Priory Church 
of Rowdill in Harris was dedicated to 
him.—4(O. S. A., Inverness, p. 156.)

COEMGEN, A. June 3, ap. 618. 
—Caoimhghen, Coemgen, Keevin, 
Keevinus, Keuvinus, Koemgenus, as 
he is termed in Ireland, Coivin, 
Kevin, in Scotland, was the celebrated 
abbot of Gleann-da-loch, son of Caemell 
the daughter of Ceannfhionnan, son of 
Ceisi, son of Lugaidh. Like Paul the 
Hermit in his habits and life, he was 
distinguished for his beauty of person. 
From seven to twelve he studied under 
S. Petroc, and then under his uncle S. 
Eugenius of Derry. In dread of being 
elected abbot, he fled to Gleann-da-loch, 
was ordained by Lugaidh, and founded 
a monastery there in 549. An inter- 
view between him, S. Columba, S. 
Canice, and S. Congal, is recorded. 
After founding his monastery, he retired 
to a more secluded spot. He lived 120 
years. “On the lands of Machririoch, 
near the mansion-house of Mr. Mac- 
donald of Ballyshean, are also the 
remains of a religious edifice called after 
and dedicated to S. Coivin."—(N. S. A., 
Argyleshire, p. 429; Orig. Par. ii. 9.) 
There is also Kilchevin and Kilchowan. 
—(Orig. Par. ii. 11 ; O. S. A. x. 536.) 
There is a remarkable salutation to him 
in the Drummond Castle Missal in 
Trish.—(Pref. Arbuthnott Missal, p. 
xxxii. See Acta Sanctorum, Jun. tom. 
i. pp. 310-312.) His acts are found in a 
life probably of the twelfth century. 
They are termed ^ suspecta " by Bertius. 

His life in Irish was in possession of 
Domhnall Carragh, in the time of the 
Four Masters. 


COGAN. See CoNGAN. 
The name of Comgan is recognised in 


COEMGEN—COLMAN. 


that of Gill-comgain, first husband of 
Gruoch, afterwards Lady Macbeth. 


COLACHUS or CEOLLA. A.D. 666. 
—A monk of Hy, who, after being 
bishop of the Mid Angles and Mercians, 
retired to his monastery, and was suc- 
ceeded by Trumhere.—(Trithemius, Reg. 
Sti: Benedicti, p. 526 ; Beda, H. E. iii. 
21, 24) This is probably the Celtic 
name Ceallach. In the Retours (Aber- 
deen, No. 453) we have the “ parochia 
de Sanct Colace." 


COLGA. See CAILTANUS. 
COLM. See Cotumsa. 


COLMAN, B. October 16.— As 
there are ninety-six S. Colmans re- 
corded in the Martyrology of Donegal, 
it is difficult to distinguish those who 
came over from Ireland to Scotland. 
In this case we can only depend upon 
the day of commemoration. "The Brevi- 
ary of Aberdeen supplies no informa- 
tion with regard to this saint, save that 
the collect alludes to his bringing those 
who sat in the darkness of error to the 
light of Christianity, and a rubric states 
that he is the patron of Balhelvy. 
Camerarius makes him live under King 
Conranus. He is patron of Kilroot 
(Cil-ruaidh), in the county of Antrim.— 
(Mart. Donegal; Reeves' Eccl. Antiqq. of 
Down, etc., pp. 60, 246, 380). There 
is S. Colman's well in Kiltiern.—(O.

Bishop of Lindisfarne, and the apostle 
of Northumberland and the Hebrides. 


COLMAN, B. February 18.—8. Col- 
man, who by Wion is confounded with S. 
Colomannus, the Irish martyr in Austria, 
and credited with the conversion of 
King Penda, was one of the Scotic 
clergy who took part in the great 
Paschal controversy, with the details of 
which we are made so familiar by Beda. 
It is honourable to the historian, that, 
Angle as he was, he gives due prominence 
to the virtues of the Scotic clergy ; and it 
is to him alone that we owe any authentic 
information we possess of the saint. In 
the Martyrology of Donegal, under this 
day, his name stands without any par- 
ticulars.—(Mart. Don. p. 53) The 
lection in the Breviary of Aberdeen is 
as follows :— 

The Angles on. the death of S. Finan 
swayed between Christianity and. idola- 
try. Colmanus was sent by the Scots 
to keep them. steadfast, he being just 
before consecrated bishop. On his way 
to the Angles the Northumbrian nation 
begged him to be the successor of S. 
Finan, but, in consequence of the envy 
of the Angles, he only presided over 
them three years, and returned to Scocia 
with a part of the bones and relics of 
Aidan. When he returned to Scotland, 
many of the Angles, both nobles and 
others, left their country and betook 
themselves to the monastic life, listening 
to the doctrine which he freely gave 
them. With thirty of the Scots whom 
he had brought back from Anglia, and 
of Angles who had accompanied him, he 


303 


betook himself to an island called Hibo- 
fund, in Beda’s more correct. language, 
Inisbofinde (the island of the white 
heifer), not far from Ireland. But the 
monks of the two nations, not being able 
to agree, “ disparitate vivendi," Colman 
carried off the Angles to a place called 
Mageo (now Mayo). He returned to 
Scocia, leaving Tuda, also a Scot, to pre- 
side over them. Colman did what he 
could to promote peace between the 
Scots and Angles. But the Angles, 
alarmed at the increase of the others, 
sought occasion to accuse them falsely, 
for which they only humbly thanked 
God. 

By these holy men Aidan, Finan, 
and Colman, sent by the Scottish Kings 
and their clergy, four kingdoms of 
Angles — Northumbria, Mercia, Mid- 
Anglia, with half the kingdom of the East 
Saxons—were baptized in the name 
of the Holy Trinity. The first Angle 
baptized by the Scots was called Aud- 
fridus (Eanfridus, Beda, H. E. iii. c. 1), 
who returned to his vomit; but North- 
umbria, at the petition of S. Oswald, was 
converted by S. Aidan, while the Mid- 
Angli and the inhabitants of Mercia 
received the faith from Bishop Winna, 
the paucity of priests demanding that 
one bishop should preside over both 
people King Swethelinus (Suidhelm, 
Beda, lib. iii, 22) was taught by the 
blessed Cedda. — (Brev. Aberd. pars 
hyem. fol lvi) The greater part of 
this legend is taken from Beda’s Eecle- 
siastical History, book iv. chap. 4. 
Colman left Northumberland A.D. 664, 
went to Ireland 668, and died 676, on 
the 8th of August according to the Irish

COLMAN, C. September 26.—This 
S. Colman is commemorated in the 
Martyrology of Aberdeen as “vir Dei 
inter suos divinis Scripturis eruditissi- 
mus.” The Mart. Donegal at this day 
gives Colman of Ros-Branduibh. He is 
honoured at Tarbet in Ross (Mart.

Ussher says that he calls him Col- 
manus Priscus, to distinguish him from 
S. Colman of Lindisfarne. — (Ussher,

was baptized and confirmed by S. Col-

man. Miraculously restoring a calf that. 
had been devoured by a wolf, he was 
handed over by his parents to Abbot 
Codanus, to be trained in the monastic 
life. One day, in obedience, the abbot 
told him to remove a rock in the cloister 
which tripped the brethren going to 
matins, which, with the sign of the cross, 
he easily did, and then, on demanding 
further what he was to do, he carried the 
fragments with the help of angels to the 
sea, where they still remain in testimony 
of the fact, and are termed Petra Col- 
moci. When Diarmait, king of Ireland, 
encamped near his monastery, he slew, 
for his entertainment, seven cows with 
their calves, poured pure water into all 
the vessels, adding a little milk to each 
one, On signing them with the sign of 
the cross, the poor flesh of the cows be- 
came rich and fat, the veal turned into 
pork, and the water mixed with milk 
into excellent wine. He turned a stream, 
received a dress from God, in return 
for one he gave to a beggar, and recalled 
to life Brandubh, king of the Lagenians, 
that he might receive the Viaticum. 
Then he went to Rome, where he was 
consecrated bishop, and brought home 
many relics. By them he restored to 
life a dead child of the wife of the king 
of Britain, who afterwards became S. 
David. He restored to life a young 
woman swallowed up by a monster that 
haunted a stream (aquatilis bestia), 
which he turned, walked over a lake 
dry-shod, and restored to life his sister 
who had been beheaded by robbers. 
While S. Colmoc was preaching, 
a company of bards—" quidam poetae im- 
pudentes"— came and mocked him, im- 


COLMAN-EALA—COLMUS. 


portunately asking somewhat from him. 
He said he had nought to give but the 
Word of God. They said, “Take the 
Word of God to yourself, and let us 
have somewhat else." He said, * By 
foolishly rejecting what is good you 
choose the worse.” Whereupon they 
tempted him to perform a miracle of 
causing to fall and raising again a great 
tree. The bards remaining still in the 
hardness of their hearts, the earth 
opened and swallowed them up quick. 
After other miracles he yielded up the 
ghost, having received the body and 
blood of Christ with the unction of the 
sacred oil. He was buried in the city 
of Dromore, and in his honour the 
monastery of Inchemaholmoch, in the 
diocese of Dunblane, was solemnly dedi- 
cated (Brev. Aberd. p. hyem. foll. ci. cii). 
But the Martyrology of Aberdeen gives 
the place of his sepulture as Inchmacome, 
where there was in after times a monas- 
tery of eanons-regular of the order of S. 
Augustin. The Mart. of ZEngus calls 
him Mocholmog of Drummor, in Iveagh 
of Ulidia. He lived about the year A.D. 
500.—(See Reeves’ Eccl. Antiquities of 
Down, ete, pp. 104 note, 304, 311, 
379. Todd’s Liber Hymnorum, p. 99 ;

“ Ecclesia Sancti Colmoneli in Kentyir.”

—(Regist. Episcop. Glasg, i 95, 56; 
O. S. A. x. 54, xix. 318.) The abbey 
of Paisley, in a confirmation by Pope 
Clement IV. in 1268, possesses the 
church of S. Colmonel, of Scybinche, 
with chapels, lands, and pertinents.— 
(Regist. de Passelet, p. 249, quoted in 
Orig. Par. i p. 69. A church, ap- 
parently dedicated to the Irish Saint 
Colmanelo, a contemporary of S. Co- 
lumba, stood in the seventeenth century 
at Clachan on the west coast.—(Orig. 
Par. i. 29.) He is the * Colum- 
banus filius Beognai,” whose life 8. Co- 
lumba saved by prayer when crossing 
Corryvreckan. He is Colman Eala, of 
Llan Ela (now Lyn-ally), in Fir Ceall of 
King’s County. He was son of Nior, 
S. Columba’s sister. He died, aged 
52, in 610.—(Mart. Donegal ; Reeves’ 
Adamnan, p. 29; Ussher, Works, vi. 
530.) 

There is a parish of Colmonell in 
Ayrshire.—(N. S. A. v. p. 528.) 

* The following couplet has been 
handed down by the genealogists of this 
place (South Knapdale) :— 

Colmonel, Clan a Gorry ; Barry, Clan Murachie ; 
Mac O Charmaig, Clan Niell; Martin, Clan 
Donochee. 

It is adduced in evidence that Saints 
Colmonel, Barry, Mac O Charmaig, and 
Martin, were the patron saints of the 
clans therein mentioned.”—(O. S. A. xix. 
318) 


COLMUS. March 9,— 8. Colmus

COMMAN, C. March 18, A.D. 688. 
—S. Commanus of Tyrconnell, called by 
Adamnan “honorabilis presbyter,” was 
the brother of Cumineus Albus, Abbot 
of Hy, and of S. Becanus. Following 
their example, and that of his uncle, S. 
Fergna, he betook himself to Hy, and 
adopted the monastic life. He lived 
from S. Fergna's time till that of S. 
Adamnan, as the latter intimates in his 
life of S. Columba, l. 2, cap. 8, where he 
describes a miracle on the testimony 
of the said Comman.—(Ussher, Works, 
vol vi p. 540; Colgan, Act. SS. Hib. 
p. 651.) 

His church is Kilchoman in the Rinns 
of Islay. The name appears on the 
cross at Campbeltown. It is variously 
spelt — Comman, Comane, Quhowman, 
Homene, Connane, Quhoman, M‘Com- 
man, Chowman (Orig. Par. ii. 272). 

In the Regist. Priorat. S. Andree, p. 
348, we find, * 1243, Id. Aug. dedicata 
est Ecclesia Rossieclerach,” to S. Law- 
rence and S. Coman. 


CONALLUS. See CONNELL. 


CONAN. January 26, AD. 648 
—S. Conan is held to have been Bishop 


308 


of Sodor, and tutor of S. Fiacre, with 
his brothers Ferquhard and Dovenaldus. 
He died in 648, and is honoured among 
the Hebrides. — (Camerarius, p. 74; 
Keith's Scottish Bishops, ed. Russel, p. 
296.) 

Boece gives a Connane, * Amang us 
war at that time Connane, Columbane, 
Cromane, and Domiane, and many 
otheris.”—(Boece, lib. ix. c. 21, Bel- 
lenden's Transl. ed. 1821, tom. ii. p. 
108.) 

He is remembered at Kilconan in For- 
tingal—(O. S. A. vol. ii. p. 449), and at 
the well of S. Conan near Dalmally.— 
(Orig. Par. i 135; O. S. A. vol. viii. 
p. 351.) 

Conan's fair is on the third Wednes- 
day in March, in Glenorchy.—(N. S. A., 
Perthshire, p. 103.) 

At the 20th of March, Mart. Donegal, 
is Conan, son of Corré. It is doubtful 
whether the Conan of Glenorchy is the 
same as the Bishop of Sodor. The 
original chapel and hermitage (of 8. 
Fechin or Vigean) were at Grange 
of Conan, where there are a small grove 
and foundations of a chapel, and also a 
most copious fountain, which preserves 
his name.—(N. S. A. Forfar, p. 490.) 

There was an, old parish church called 
Kilchonan on the north side of Loch 
Rannoch, now united to Fortingal. The 
honorific name of Conon was Mochonog, 
in which form his name appears as the 
patron of Inverkeillor in Angus. 


CONCHOBHAR or CONNOR.— This 
name underlies the designation of Kil- 
conquhar in Fife.—(O. 8. A. ix. 287, 
xvi. 147; N. S A. ix. 316.) The 


CONCHOBHAR—CONGAL. 


saint appears as Concadus in the Regist. 
of Testaments, Commissariot of S. An- 
drews, 1549-51. 

It may be the same name as Cunchar, 
who was Thane of Angus and father of 
Finuele, the cause of the death of Ken- 
neth II.—(Skene, Chron. of Picts and 
Scots, p. 289.) 


CONGAL, A. May 12, av. 602.— 
The monasticism of Ireland was a poli- 
tical as well as a religious institution. In 
a sense, it took the place of the colonic 
of the Roman empire. Just as an 
organised society of Romans set them- 
selves down in a barbarous country, with 
the purpose of living under Roman laws, 
so the large monasteries of Ireland 
planted themselves in countries too often 
devastated by civil war, and carried on 
the arts of life under the protection of 
the sanctions of religion. It was just 
such a state of things as we should 
expect under the circumstances of the 
case. Given a turbulent state of society, 
constant feuds and rapine, but in which 
Christian ideas had taken deep root, it 
was to be expected that societies should 
organise themselves, in which, in due 
subordination to the highest motives-of 
the religious life, the occupations of agri- 
culture and elementary commerce might 
be carried on. This will account for the 
enormous number of monks who were 
occasionally gathered together in one 
place. It was the civil society of a 
country existing in a religious form. 

Among the greatest promoters of this 
condition of life S. Congal stands pre- 
eminent. As abbot of the great house 
of Bangor, in the County Down, founded 


CONGAL. 


in 558, in which were 3000 monks, he 
exercised enormous influence. He is 
described as “a man who fostered and 
educated very many other saints, as he 
kindled and lighted up an unquenchable 
love of God in the hearts and minds.” 
—(Mart. Donegal.) 

S. Congal (correctly Comgall) was an 
Irish Pict. According to the Breviary of 
Aberdeen (p. estiv. fol. cxvii.), his father's 
name was Schethvan (Sidna) his mother's 
Briga, to whom the future sanctity of her 
child was prophesied by Bishop Math- 
visse (Mac Nissi) He was baptized by 
a very learned blind priest, and when 
they wanted water, straightway a foun- 
tain sprang forth, in which washing his 
face and hands, he obtained his sight. 
In allusion to this, the collect for the 
day prays that we may know the true 
light of the faith, and ever avoid the 
blindness of sin. He was born in 
Magheramourne in the County Antrim, 
in 517 (Annal Ulton. 516), and his 
name was latinised into Faustus or 
Pulchrum Pignus.—(Ussher, Works, vi. 
505.) 

His was one of the eight orders 
that were in Erin, according to the Life 
of Ciaran of Cluan.—(Ibid. Ussher 
mentions four rules, “written in the 
most ancient Irish language, and in our 
days almost unintelligible "—1. That of 
Columkille ; 2. That of Comghal; 3. 
That of Mochuda ; and 4. That of Ailbe. 
—(Ussher, Works, vi. p. 483.) 

After he had ruled seven years in 
Bangor, in 598 he crossed to that part 
of Britain that is now Scotland, and 
founded a church in Terra Heth or Tiree. 
He was the friend of S. Columba, though 


309 


he had differences with him which led to 
the battle of Culdregny. 

From Bangor the remarkable colony 
of Irish religious under S. Columbanus, 
who went to Italy, set forth. They 
carried with them the liturgy called the 
Cursus Scotorum.—(Ussher, Works, vi. 
482.) The Antiphonary of Bangor is still 
preserved at Milan. In it there is an 
alphabetical hymn concerning S. Com- 
gal.— (Reeves' Adamnan, p. 220, n) 
There still remains an ancient life of 
this saint, given in Fleming's Collec- 
tanea (p. 47, col. a, note 48 A, also p. 
303); and Fordun quotes from an 
ancient life of him the account of the 
arrival of Fergus, son of Ferquhard, 
from Ireland.—(Fordun, Scotichron. 
lib. ii. 12, ed. Goodall, i 48; Innes, 
Crit. Essay, p. 741.) 

In addition to his foundation of the 
House in Terra Heth or Tiree, in illus- 
tration of his connection with Scotland, 
he is said to have taken part with S. Co- 
lumba and S. Cainnech in the conversion 
of King Brude at Inverness.—(Vita apud 
Fleming, Collectanea, pp. 311-16 ; also 
Reeves Adamnan, p. 152, n) The 
Breviary of Aberdeen makes him the 
tutor of the blessed Merenus.—(Brev. 
Aberd. ut supra.) The Martyrology of 
Aberdeen assigns as the site of his cul- 
tus the monastery of Drum Congal, by 
which Dercongal is probably meant, but 
Dercongal is attached in our Kalendars 
to S. Drostan, and not to S. Comgall, 
and Mr. Skene thinks that the Congal in 
Dercongal has probably nothing to do 
with the name Comgall, but is a corrup- 
tion of Congbhael, in its primary sense 
a habitation, but in its secondary sense 


310 


a monastery or ecclesiastical establish- 


ment. Camerarius calls him Abbot of 
Rathurelfigi, ie. the Rathmelsigi of 
Beda. 


His churches in Scotland are—1. Der- 
congal or Holywood (Regist. Episcop. 
Glasg. vol i p. 117; Keith, Scottish 
Bishops, ed. Russel p. 399; Reeves’ 
Adamnan, lxxiv.) ; 2. Durris, where his 
fair is still held. 

Fordun asserts that his body is pre- 
served at Fulda.—(Scotichron. lib. vii. c. 
28, ed. Goodall, i. 406.) 


CONGALLUS. January 2, A.D. 
600.—Camerarius (p. 74) gives at this 
day S. Congallus (correctly Comgall), 
Abbot of Banchory in Scotland. Posse- 
vin makes him flourish A.D. 590. Notker, 
in his Martyrology, at 5 Id. Jul, makes 
him a pupil of S: Columba, and precep- 
tor of S. Columbanus and S. Gall. But 
it is possible that he is confounded 
with the S. Congal of May 10, who 
in the Felire is called 


Comgall buadac Benncair. 
[Comgall the victorious of Bennchar. ] 


CONGAN, A. October 13.—8. Con- 
gan (correctly Comgan), brother of S. 
Kentigerna, and uncle to S. Fillan, was 
the son of a prince of Leinster, and was in 
his youth trained as a soldier. On suc- 
ceeding to his father he governed his do- 
minions as a Christian prince ought to do; 
but, on being attacked by his neighbours, 
he was conquered, and being wound- 
ed by an arrow in the foot, was forced 
to fly. He now left his kingdom and 
native country, and in company with 
Kentigerna, his sister, her sons Fillan, 


CONGALLUS-—CONGAN. 


Fursey, and Ultan, and seven other 
clerics, betook himself to Lochelch, in 
Northern Erchadia or Argyle, where they 
lived a severe life. Blessed Fillan in 
this place built à church in honour of 
his uncle, who, after a long life, died 
and was buried in Iona. There are in 
this neighbourhood two churches, Kil- 
choan (Congan) and Killellan (Fillan), 
which bear record to the truth of the 
history ; and the fact that in it Lochelch 
or Lochalsh is said to be in Northern 
Argyle is a proof of the antiquity of the 
source from which it was taken, inas- 
much as it was in consequence of Alex- 
ander IL. granting North Argyle to the 
Earl of Ross that it took the name of 
Ross-shire.—(Brev. Aberd. p. estiv. fol. 
exxvi.; Reeves’ Adamnan, pp. 419, 384.) 
His churches are as follow :— 
1. Turriff (Brev. Aberd. p. estiv. fol. 
cxxvi.); where is also Cowan 
Fair (O. S. A. xvii pp. 396, 
398 ; N. S. A. xii. 988). 
2. Kilehowan in Kiltearn (O. S. A. 
vol. i. p. 293). 
3. S. Coan in Strath (N. S. A. xiv. 


308). 

4. Kilehoan in Kilbrandon in Sele ; 
called also 

5. Kileongen (Orig. Par. ii 102, 
103). 


6. Kilchoan or Kilquhoan in Ardna- 
murchan (Orig. Par. ii. 194). 
7. Church of 8. Congan or Kilchoan 
in Knoydart (Orig. Par. ii. 204).

9. Church of S. Congan in Glendale 
in Duirinish (Orig. Par. ii. 359). 
10. Lochalsh (Orig. Par. ii. 395). 


CONINANUS—CONSTANTINE. 


11. Kilehoan (chapel) in Lumlair 
(Orig. Par. ii. 482). 
12. Kirkcowan (N. S. A. v. 529). 
See Fordun, Scotichron. lib. iii. c. 28, 
ed. Goodall vol i. p. 132, as to his 


pedigree. 


CONINANUS. December 9, A.D. 
710.—He is described by Camerarius, 
on the authority of Wion, to have been 
Abbot of Hy, and preceptor to King 
Ferquhard's sons. Perhaps be is Con- 
amhail, the first Abbot of Hy, not of 
the race of Conall Gulban. He cannot 
be Conang Ua Beiceleighinn of 1128. 
—(Reeves’ Adamnan, 378 and 404.) 


CONLEATUS. March 15.—He was 
Bishop of Sodor. See Alex. Mill, George 
Neuton, the life of S. Brigid, and others. 
—(Camerarius, p. 117.) Under this 
name we recognise the anchorite who 
was selected by S. Brigid to be her chief 
artist, and with her to govern her 
churches. He is Condlaed (Contianus), 
a name which the scholiast on ZEngus 
resolves into Cundail Aedh, that is Aedh 
the wise. He adds that his original 
name was Ronchend. He was elected 
by Brigid to be bishop in her city, and 
she gave his “transmarine and foreign” 
vestments to the poor, when they were 
miraculously restored. He was devoured 
by dogs on his way to Rome.—(Todd's 
S. Patrick, pp. 19-27 ; Mart. Donegal, 
119; Colgan, Trias Thaum. pp. 628, 
552, 565.) 


CONNELL.—There are seven saints 
of the name of Conall in the Irish Lists. 
It is impossible to identify any of them 


311 


with him who gives his name to Kirk- 
connel. Ofit the Old Statistical Account 
says, “ This parish is naturally supposed 
to derive its name fromthe first kirk erect- 
ed in it, as either built by Ronald Connel, 
commonly called S. Connel, or named 
in honour of him, whose tombstone 
is said to be lying somewhere on 
the top of Glenwhorry-hill, a foot or 
more beneath the surface, and three or 
four miles from the public road.” (0. S. 
A. x. 433.) Tradition adds that it has 
this inscription upon it :—Here lies S. 
Connel who built Kirk Hiell and Kirk 
Connel (p. 457). The N. S. A. (Dumfries, 
p. 316) quotes Chalmers as considering 
the name  Connel a corruption of 
Congal; but this is a mistake, for the 
names are not the same. 

In the parish of Lochwinnoch, in the 
Deanery of Rutherglen, in the village of 
Ferrenese, stood the chapel of S. Conall, 
which was granted to the provost and 
chaplains of the collegiate church of 
Sempil in 1504.—(Orig. Par. i. 93, 94.) 


CONON. Sce Conan. 


CONRANUS. February 14.—This 
saint was a bishop and confessor, who 
laboured in Orkney. He remained some 
time in Kirkwall, and is had in honour 
in these islands.—(Camerarius, p. 101, 
quoting Lesleus, De Orig. Scot. lib. iv.) 


CONSTANTINE, K. M. March 11, 
A.D. 596.—In the Carthusian Auctarium 
to the great work of Usuard we find * In 
Scotia S. Constantini regis et martyris," 
whom the dedication of several import- 
ant churches in Scotland and an Irish 


312 


poem of Rumann Mac Colman enable us 
to identify. The legend is wild and 
strange, not without some confusion as 
to date. It thus appears in the Breviary 
of Aberdeen :—Constantine, the son of 
Paternus, king of Cornubia, married the 
daughter of the king of Lesser Britannia. 
On her death he forsook his kingdom, 
crossed to Hibernia, and entering a reli- 
gious house, was for seven years em- 
ployed in carrying grain to the convent- 
mill One day he was overheard asking 
himself, * Am I Constantine, king of 
Cornubia, whose head has carried so 
many helmets, whose body has worn so 
many corselets? That I am not.” This 
being overheard, he was at once carried 
off to the cloister, where they educated 
him, and raised him to the priesthood. 
Thence he betook himself to S. Columba, 
and after that was directed by S. 
Kentigernus to preach the word of God 
in Golvedia, where he was elected abbot. 
In his extreme old age he prayed God 
that he might die a martyr for the 
church of Christ. His prayer was 
heard, for when he was preaching 
through the country, and had come to 
the island of Kyntyre, certain wicked 
men landed to fulfil in their sin what 
the good man had sought in his piety. 
They cut off the hand of his servant, 
which he straightway healed, and falling 
on him wounded him, cut off his arm, 
and left him for dead. Then, calling 
together his people, he fell asleep in 
peace in the year 576.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. fol lxvii) All the Irish 
Martyrologies commemorate a S. Con- 
stantine on the 18th of March. Aingus 
has, on 11th March, 


CONSTANTINE. 


“Constantin rig Rathin Ri Alban do bina 
manac i raitin ag Mocuda na manae naomta.” 

[Constantine, king of Rathin, king of Alba, 
became a monk, that is to say, under Mochuda 
of the holy monks.] 
There is a gloss at the name of Con- 
stantin, “ii mac Fergusa ri Britain i. 
abb. Rat. Mocuta,” ie. son of Fergus, 
king of Britain, or abbot of Rathin Mo- 
chuda. The Martyrol. of Tallaght calls 
him “ Constantin Brito no mac Fergusa 
do Cruithnechaib,” ie. a Briton, son of 
Fergus, of the Picts. The Kalendar of 
Cashel describes him Abbot of Cul 
Rathin in Delbna Ethra. There seem 
to have been two saints of this name, 
one a king of the Britons, who resigned 
his crown and came to Scotland, where 
he converted Kintyre, and died in 588 ; 
another was Constantine, son of Fergus, 
of the Picts, who succeeded Mochuda at 
Rathin somewhat later than the year630. 
There is a place near Rahan in King’s 
County called Cepach Chonsaitin, which 
confirms what authorities say of Con- 
stantine’s connection with that house. 
—(Dr. Kelly's Calendar of Irish Saints, 
p. 92.) The Annals of Ulster, 588, 
Kal Jan. 5, “Mors nepotum Geno. 
Conversio Constantini ad Dominum 
et nix magna.” The Martyrology of 
Donegal confuses the two Constantines. 
—(Mart. Don. 74, note.) Alluding to a 
poem by Rumann mac Colman, Dr. Petrie 
says that “the story of that poet’s pil- 
grimage to Rahen” furnishes “ evidence 
hitherto unknown of the fact stated in 
most of the oldest Irish Kalendars, but 
which I, in common with Dr. Lanigan, 
had heretofore doubted, that a Briton 
named Constantine was Abbot at Rahen, 
and whose memory was there venerated 


CONSTANTINE. 


on the 11th of March. In the Festilogy 
of ZEngus this Constantine is set down as 
Rex Rathenis, which, as Colgan under- 
Stands it, did not mean that he was king 
of the place, but that, having abdicated 
his kingdom, he became a monk there, 
or, as other kalendars state, abbot. So 
the Kalendar of Cashel, as translated 
by Colgan, has “S. Constantinus ex 
Britannia ortus Abbas de Cul Rathain 
Mochudds in regione de Delbhna Ethra 
in Media.”  Martyrol of Tallaght has 
* Constantini Britonis, vel filii Fergusii 
de Cruthenis.” Marian Gorman, “Con- 
stantinus Brito ;” and his scholiast adds, 
* Constantinus filius Fergussii de Cru- 
thenis oriundus, vel juxta alios Brito ; 
Abbas de Rathenia S. Mochude.” The 
Martyrology of Donegal has the same 
words, and Cathal Magguire has the 
following notice of him:—“Constan- 
tinus rex Britonum regnum abdicavit ; 
et peregrinationis causa venit Ratheniam 
tempore S. Mochudde. Fuit enim 
Comorbanus (successor S. Mochuddee 
Ratheni» et ante Rex Albanie ; vel est 
Constantinus filius Fergusi de Cru- 
thenis oriundus.”——Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. 
pp. 574,575.) There can be little doubt 
this distinguished person was located 
at Rathen or its vicinity, though not 
at so late a period as to have been 
successor to S. Mochuda, who was driven 
from Rathen in 630, if he be, as Dr. 
O'Connor supposes, the Constantine 
noticed in the Annals of Ulster at 587, 
and in those of Tighernac at 588, in 
these words :—“ Conversio Constan- 
tini ad Dominum," and to whom Hec- 
tor Boethius seems to allude in his 
Hist. of Scotland, L. ix., when he says, 


313 


* Poenitentem abdicato regno secessise in 
Hiberniam, ibique tonso capite, Christi 
militiz se prestitisse."—(Petrie, Round 
Towers, Trans. Roy. Irish Acad. vol. 
xx. p. 353) Colgan gives from 
Gildas (De excidio Britannie) an ac- 
count of the flagitious life which Con- 
stantine led before his conversion, stat- 
ing among other things that he mur- 
dered two children, who were the two 
sons of Modred, king of the Britons, as 
we learn from his own contemporary, 
Matthew of Westminster, in his Chron- 
icle, A.D. 545. He says he first became 
a monk under S. David at Menevia, then 
proceeded to Ireland, and lastly went to 
Seotland with S. Columba, not on the 
occasion of S. Columba’s first visit, for 
then he was king of Cornwall, but after- 
wards. He was martyred in Kentire in 
590, and buried in Govan.—(Colgan, 
Acta SS. Hib., 577.) 

Fordun makes him contemporary with 
S. Columba, and states that he came to 
Scotland with him to preach to the Picts 
and Scots. He erected a monastery of 
brethren at Govan near the Clyde, where 
he presided as abbot, converted the whole 
land of Kintyre, where he was martyred, 
and was buried in his own monastery 
of Govan.—(Fordun, lib. iii. c. 26, ed. 
Goodall, vol. i. p. 130.) 

Boece is silent as to his early excesses, 
makes him fly to Ireland with his wife 
and children ; adds that on his discovery 
he shaved his head in a monastery of the 
same country, where he was slain by the 
Scottes and “eckit to the nowmer of 
martiris. “In memory hereof many 
kirkes are among us dedicate to him."— 
(Bellenden's Boece, ed. 1821, vol. ii. p. 88.)

CONSTANTINE,K. ITI. December 6, 
cir. A.D. 945.—Constantine IIL, king 
of the Scots, leaving all for the love of 
Christ, made a happy end among the 
Culdees, A.D. 943.—(Mem. Brit. Piety, 
168.)—He was son of Aed, son of Ken- 
neth Macalpine. According to the 
Pictish Chronicle (Skene, Chron. Picts 
and Scots, p. 9) he reigned forty years. 


CONSTANTINE—CONVALLANUS. 


In his third year the Normans devastated 
Dunkeld and all Alba, but were slain in 
the succeeding year. In his sixth year 
King Constantine and Bishop Kellach 
vowed at Scone, on the collis credulitatis, 
that the laws and discipline of the 
faith and the rights of the churches and 
gospels should be kept, and the hill took 
its name from this circumstance. In his 
eighteenth year the battle of Tenemore 
was fought between him and Regnal, 
and the Scots had the victory. In his 
thirty-third year, at the battle of Dun- 
brunde, or Brunanburgh, his son fell. 
In his decrepit old age he assumed the 
staff (of a pilgrim), and served the 
Lord, giving up the kingdom to Mail 
the son of Domnail. 

The Albanic Duan says he reigned 
forty-five years, and S. Berchan, who 
calls him Midhaise, forty-seven. He re- 
tired to the monastery on the brink of 
the waves, and died in the house of the 
apostle by which S. Andrews is ob- 
viously meant.—(Skene, Chron. Picts and 
Scots, cxli. 91, 92.) 

His cave is still to be seen near Fife 
Ness. It is marked with pilgrim-crosses, 
like the other caves along the coast. 


CONTENTUS, B. He was Bishop of 
the Isles.—(Keith's Scottish Bishops, ed. 
Russel, p. 296.) 


CONVALLANUS, A. October 15.— 
Under this day King gives *S. Con- 
vallane, abbot in Scotland and con- 
fessor, under King Conranus.” Boece 
(Bellenden’s transl. lib. ix. c. 6, ed. 1821, 
vol. ii p. 73) says that he introduced 
into Scotland the Rogation or Gang days, 


CONVALLUS—CORMAC. 


was Abbot of Iona, and had the gift of 
prophecy. “This Convellanus was in 
the time of Arthure, quhilk was king of 
Britonis efter deith of Uter.” 

Eastwood and Pollock were under his 
patronage.—(Orig. Par. i. 66.) 


CONVALLUS, C. September 28.— 
S. Convallus, son of an Irish prince, was 
an ornament of the primitive church of 
the Scots, and a disciple of S. Kentigern. 
Wishing to leave his native country, the 
stone on which he stood by the sea- 
shore became a skiff, whereon he was 
borne to the river Clyde, where he 
landed. The stone was thereafter called 
S. Convall’s chariot, and by the touch 
of it men and cattle were healed. Many 
wonderful cures are related of him. 
He is honoured as patron of Inchennene 
(Brev. Aberd. p. estiv. f. 117) or Inchin- 
nan (Martyrol Aberd.), in Renfrewshire 
on the Clyde, about seven miles below 
Glasgow. Here his relics are attested 
by Boece to have been in honour in his 
time.—(Bellenden's Boece, l ix. c. 17, 
edit. 1821, v. ii. p. 99.) 

In former times a stone called S. Con- 
vallus's stone stood near the ancient fort 
of Inchinnan on the Renfrew side of 
the river. According to Mr. Mother- 
well the stone, now called Argyle's 
stone, as marking the spot where the 
Marquis of Argyle was taken, was the 
base of a cross erected to the memory 
of S. Convallus.—(Stuart's Sculptured 
Stones, ii. 38 ; N.S. A., Renfrew, p. 128.) 

Cumnock is dedicated to him. A pre- 
Reformation will says—* Lego corpus 
meum sepeliendum in pulveribus S. 
Conualli de Cumnock.” On the same 


315 


evidence Ochiltree is his church.—(Regist. 
of Testaments, Commissariot of Glasgow, 
vol. i) 
: Leslie says that he took the occa- 
sion of the coronation of Kenneth I, 
* Christi religionem etmorum probitatem 
omnium auribus et animis sedulo incul- 
care."—(Lesleus de Orig. Scot. p. 152, 
ed. 1678.) 

Camerarius calls him abbot, makes his 
day May 17, and represents him as 
honoured by Aidan, king of the Scots. 


CONVALLUS. September 14.—S. 
Convallus from his early childhood was 
trained in the Abbey of Crossraguel, 
and specially honoured in the district of 
Carrick.—(Camerarius, p. 173.) 


CONVALLUS, K. April 4, ap. 
824.— Boethius gives a King Convallus, 
who was celebrated for his piety and for 
his respect for the clergy. He was said 
to have excited the commendation of S. 
Columba.—(Camerarius, p. 127. See 
Boethius, lib. ix. f. 166a, ed. Par. 1575; 
also Leslzeus de Orig. Scot. 1. iv. p. 147.) 
There was a King Convallus, who suc- 
ceeded in 819, and reigned six years. 
—(Fordun, Scotichron. iii. 64, ed. Good- 
all, vol. i. p. 173.) 

This cannot be verified from the 
Annals of Tighernac, as there is a leaf 
wanting from 756 to 973. He is, how- 
ever, marked in the Litany of Dunkeld. 


CORMAC, A. June 21.—Cormac or 
Corbmac Ua Liathain, Abbot of Dear- 
mach (Durrow), and an anchorite of the 
race of Oilioll Flannbeg, is termed by 
the Mart. of Donegal successor of Colum- 


316 


cille, but this is only in the sense of being 
an abbot of some monastery founded by 
hin, for he is not of the Hy succession. 
He is called Cormac Leir, i.e. of the sea; 
for he was one of those who sought a 
desert in the ocean, i.e. for penitential pur- 
poses, he betook himself to a long voyage 
in quest of some remote island. Thrice 
he attempted this, and failed, for taking 
with him a religious without his abbot’s 
permission.—(Reeves’ Adamnan, pp. 30, 
166-171.) Again, on a journey by the 
saint to the Orcades, S. Columba, at the 
court of Brude at Inverness, besought the 
Regulus of that island to entreat him 
well, whereby he was saved from death. 
His return to Hy was predicted by the 
saint. On his third journey, Cormach 
being in great danger, not only from 
the storm but from some creatures that 
assaulted his boat, 8. Columba not only 
knew his peril, but by his prayers assisted 
him.—(Ibid. p. 170.) His father’s 
name was Dima. There are two poems 
upon him by S. Columcille.—(Ibid. pp. 
264-274.) The date of his death is not 
given. 

There is a Kirkcormac now united 
to Kelton in Galloway.—(N. 8. A, 
Kirkcudbright, p. 170. Camerarius 
(p. 118) places him at the 8th February. 


CORMACHUS IL August 15, A.D. 
1122.— Bishop of Murtlach.—(V. D. A. 
p. 143.) 


CORMAN. A.D. 638.— Boethius gives 
the name of Corman to the austere cleric 
who in 638 endeavoured before S. Aidan 
to convert the Northumbrians.—(Bel- 
lenden’s Boece, c. ix. 19, ed. 1821, vol. 


CORMACHUS II.—CUMINE. 


ii. p. 105.) Beda gives no indication 
of the name.—(Beaeda, H. E. iii. 5.) 


CRISENIUS.— The Legend of S. 
Andrews makes Crisenius de Nola Insulá 
one of the companions of 8. Regulus.— 
(Skene, Chron. Picts and Scots, p. 
187.) 


CRUNMAEL, A. December 17.— 
Crunmael, Abbot of Ia Colum Cille. 
—(Mart. Donegal, 339.) 


CUGANAEICH, A.—Cuganaeich is 
found in the Dunkeld Litany. The 
Coganus of Camerarius is S. Congan. 


CUMINE. February 24, A.D. 688.— 
Cuminius, surnamed Fionn or Albus, a 
man of great erudition, son of Ernan, son 
of Fiachna, adorned either Scotia with 
his gifts. He betook himself to Hy. He 
was nearly related to the early abbots, 
who were all connected by blood. He re- 
turned to Ireland, and founded a church, 
called after him Disert-Chiamin, in the 
west of Leinster. He is most renowned 
for his letter to the Abbot Segenius 
on the Paschal Controversy. He was 
a whole year in making up his mind 
which part to espouse; at length he 
took that of Rome. Synods were held 
on the subject in Ireland, and a great 
controversy ensued. The part Cuminius 
took brought him into collision with his 
brethren at Hy. This drew forth his 
celebrated letter. He also wrote a life 
of S. Columba in 134 chapters, beginning 
* Venerabilis Abbas et plurimorum pater 
ecnobiorum" (later hand, Mart. Done- 
gal. In spite of his line of action, he 


CUNIBERTUS—CUTHBERT. 


was eventually elected Abbot of Hy 
after Suibhne's death, reigning twelve 
or fourteen years. He died in 668.— 
(Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 408.) ZEngus 
the Culdee gives at the day 


Abb. Ia an Ergna, Cuimine find fedbda. 
[Abbot of Hy in Ergna. Cumine the fair the 
good.] 

In the parish of Boleskine and Aber- 
tarff is the hill of Suidh-chuiman; on the 
top is a cairn. It is said that one of 
the chiefs of Clan Cummin, on his way 
to visit some of his dependents, fell sick 
and died on this spot.—(N. S. A., Inver- 
ness, pp. 57, 63.) 

Fort Augustus is, in the vulgar lan- 
guage, called Kilchuiman.—(O. S. A. 
xx.p. 20. The church of Glenelg is 
also called Killchuimin. 

The Dunkeld Litany has Cum- 
minach. 


CUNIBERTUS, B. & C. April 25, A.D. 
690.—He was given by his parents to 
be educated by the monks of Bammirini 
(Balmerino) which is not far from a 
spot whose name is Wood Heavin nearthe 
estuary of the Tay. There he so profited 
by their teaching, that, against his will, 
he was carried off “ad sacras insulas." 
But he so loved solitude that he betook 
himself to the desert, where, after evok- 
ing water from the stony rock, he 
yielded up his spirit in 690. 

Camerarius, p. 138—" De eo agitur bre- 
viter in Theatro Vite humans, lib. i.” 
The Bollandists refer to him among the 
pretermissa of this day, adding “ ubi 
fuerit Episcopus siletur."—(Act. Sanct. 
April, tom. iii. p. 147.) 


CUNINACH, A, is found in the 
Dunkeld Litany.

CUTHBERT, B. & C. March 20, A.D. 
687.— The following are the ancient 
sources of the Life of S. Cuthbert :—The 
chapters in Bzeda's Ecclesiastical History 
(lib. iv. c. 27-32) ; an earlier life of the 
saint, by him, and frequently alluded to 
in his History (ed. Smith, pp. 227-264, 
Cambridge, 1722); another in verse (pp. 
267-291); and a life in Capgrave’s Le- 
genda, fol. 69-79. In modern times, 
the Rev. James Raine has published in 
a collection of lives printed by the Sur- 
tees Society two lives of S. Cuthbert,—a 
prose life termed “ Libellus de nativitate 
Sancti Cuthberti de historiis Hybernen- 
sium excerptas et translatus,” and a 
metrical life termed “ Vita Sancti Cuth- 
berti.” He has also given to the public 
“Saint Cuthbert, with an account of the 
state in which his remains were found 
on opening his tomb in 1827,” 4to, 
Durham, 1828; and Archbishop Eyre 
has written a life of this saint, “The 
History of S. Cuthbert, or an account of 
his life, decease, and miracles, 8vo, 
Lond. 1849.” There are also some inter- 
esting points in Notes and Queries, ii. 
325 ; ix. 173, 255, 272, 304; xii. 103, 
519; (Third Series, iv. 44) Cap- 
grave and Fordun (Scotichron. lib. iii. 
c. 51, ed. Goodall, i, 158) give his 
Trish parentage. He was the child of 
the daughter of King Muriardachus by 
another Regulus, who, after slaying all 
the family save herself, used violence to 
her. The child was begged for by a cer- 
tain bishop, and was baptized Nulluhoc. 
On the death of his tutor, his mother 


318 


took him to Britain, to Columba, who first 
reigned in the see of Dunkeld. Colgan 
supposes this to be another Columba or 
Colman, but it may be that it is an error 
of the author, writing probably in the 
eleventh century, when to Dunkeld 
had been transferred the Columban 
primacy of the Picts and Scots. Cuth- 
bert betook himself to contemplation on a 
high hill called Doilwem. While in the 
region of the Picts, being falsely ac- 
cused of seduction by the king’s daugh- 
ter, the rock opened and swallowed her 
at a place called Corven. After this 
Capgrave’s life follows Beda. 

S. Cuthbert took the monastic habit at 
Melrose under S. Eata, afterwards Bishop 
of Hagulstad and Lindisfarne, S. Boisil 
being prior. Eata took S. Cuthbert to 
Ripon, till S. Wilfred was appointed ab- 
bot. Then he returned to Melrose. On 
the death of Boisil, of the great plague, 
in 664, Cuthbert was promoted to his 
place, and he commenced to evangelise 
the barbarous people in the villages in 
the neighbourhood. After many years 
thus spent, Eata removed him to Lin- 
disfarne. After governing Lindisfarne 
as prior for some years, he betook him- 
self, for solitude and contemplation, to 
the isle of Farne, at a distance of nine 
miles. There he built himself a small 
dwelling, with a trench about it, and 
the necessary cells—a Rath, in short— 
where he produced a stream of water 
from the hard rock. He was after many 
years present at the Synod of Adtwiford, 
on the Alne, where 8, Theodore was pre- 
sent, when he was reluctantly appointed 
bishop. He was consecrated at York by 
Theodore and six other bishops, and 


CUTHBERT. 


Eata returning to Hagulstad, S. Cuth- 
bert presided over Lindisfarne. After 
spending two years in his bishopric, he 
retired to Ferne, and died in 687. 
Among his miracles, he prophesied the 
defeat of Ecgfrid by Brude Mac Bile, 
King of Fortren, in 685, at Dunnichen, 
—(Bada, H. E. iv. 26; Vita, c. xxiv. ; 
Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 668.) 

“ Affectionate memorials of S. Cuth- 
bert are still found at Melrose, Channel 
Kirk, and Maxton.”—(Orig. Par. i. pref. 

The legend in Brev. Aberd. (Pars 
hyem. fol Ixxvii.) is abridged from 
Beda, and is as follows :— 

As Cuthbert, being a good boy, one 
day played with some children, a little 
fellow about three years old met him 
and said, ^O holy bishop Cuthbert, it 
doth not become thee to play among 
children, whom the Lord hath destined 
to be a master of our elders.” "The boy 
Cuthbert, hearing this, returned home, 
and began to be more staid, and leaving 
the affairs of this life, betook himself to 
monastic discipline ; and when it fell to 
him to receive the guests, he once enter- 
tained an angel of the Lord. 

On a certain day he had compelled 
a certain young man to enter the house, 
and after washing his feet and hands, 
he went to get him bread, but on return- 
ing found his guest nowhere. He was 
astonished to find onthe table threewarm 
loaves, and said to the servant, * It is an 
angel ‘of the Lord whom I have enter- 
tained.” After spending many years at 
Mellross in a holy conversation, the most 
religious abbot Eata sent him to the 
Lindisfarne monastery, where he lived in 


CUTHBERT—CYRICUS. 


solitude, and in the synod held by 
Theodore and Egfrid, was, against his 
will, made bishop. There in preaching 
he restored to life the wife of an earl, 
and to health a man emaciated by long 
sickness. 

After two years in the duties of the 
episcopate, feeling that his end was 
drawing near, he returned to the here- 
mitic life. After two months in the 
desert, he was suddenly seized with 
illness, and after three weeks he died, 
and was honourably buried in Lindis- 
farne. Even years after, on opening his 
tomb, his body was found incorrupt. 

The historic facts in this legend are 
all connected with events narrated in 
Beda, but the miracles are not the same. 
Beda, several times in his history, refers 
to his own life of S. Cuthbert. The 
miracle of the healing of the sick man 
does not appear to be in Beda, although 
many similar ones are to be found in it. 
A curious expression in the sixth lectio, 
“Tribus ebdomadis continuis decoctus,” 
is from a narrative of the death of the 
saint by one Herefrid, which is quoted 
at length by Beda in c. xxxvii—(Col- 
gan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 672.)

CYRICUS, M. June 16, A.D. 314. 
—Whether the S. Cyricus or Cyr, who, 
with his mother Julitta, is found in all 
the Sarum Kalendars, and who was mar- 
tyred in the Diocletian persecution in the 
year of grace 304, be the saint honoured 
at Ecclesgreg is not quite certain.— 
(Regist. Priorat. S. Andree, 218, 348; 
O. S. A. xi p. 90.) At any rate, there 
was a very early cultus of him in this 
country, for, according to the Pictish 
Chronicle (Skene, Chron. Picts and 
Scots, pp. cxxxvii and 8), in the ninth 
year of King Ciricius or Grig (i.e. 885), 
an eclipse took place “in ipso dei Cirici,” 


320 


and he occurs this day in the Irish Kal- 
endar in the Drummond Missal, “ xvi. 
Kal. (Jun.) Apud Antiochiam quoque 
Natale Sanctorum Martyrum Cirici et 
Jullitte matris ejus, qua per diri tor- 
menta martyrii sui cursum obtruncatione 
capitis compleverunt." In the actual 
history the obtruncatio applies only to 
the mother. The child had his brains 
dashed out by the judge. 

The allusion to the feast of S. Cyricus 
in the Pictish Chronicle gives us a 
slight indication of the place which the 
saints of the rest of the Catholic Church 
held in the pre-Margaretan Church of 
Scotland. The Chronicle ends in the 
year 899, in the middle of the reign of 
Kenneth II. It shows us that the Scot- 
tish Celtic Church dedicated churches to 
S. Michael : “ Morcan, theson of Breada- 
laig, was slain in the Church of $. 
Michael.”——-(Skene, Chron. of Picts and 
Scots, p. 10.) The feast of S. Patrick 
is also mentioned in the same document 
(p. 8). 

The parish of Ceres in Fife is perhaps 
called after him.——(O. S. A. ix. p. 517 ; 
N.S. A., Fife, p. ii. p. 269.) 

The Church of Cyricius, the martyr of 
Eglisgirg, was dedicated by David de 
Burnham on the 7th of the ides of 
August 1242.— (Regist. Prioratus 8. 
Andree, p. 348.) The name in com- 
position occurs as Malgirg, who, as prior 
of the Culdees of Muthill attests a 
charter about 1214. 


DABIUS or DAVIUS, P. July 22. 
—An Irish priest, who preached with 
great success in his own country and in 
Alba. He is patron saint of Domnach 


DABIUS—DAGAMUS. 


Cluana, now Donach Cloney, in the 
County Down, and of Kippen in Scot- 
land, where a church is dedicated to 
him by the name of Movean.—(Alb. 
Butler, Lives of the Saints, ad diem, 
quoting Colgan in MS.) 

To this saint we must attribute the 
Celtic dedications to S. David. Thus, 
in the parish of Weem we have S. David's 
well. “Tradition relates of this guardian 
saint that he was one of the lairds of 
the place who had turned monk, and 
that he had a chapel on the shelf of the 
rock still called Crag an t’Scheapail or 
the Chapel Rock."—(N. S. A., Perth, 
705.) Here was celebrated the Feile 
Daidh, and there was a burial-ground 
called Cill Daidh.—(Ibid. p. 709.) 

In the parish of Kilblane in Bute, 
the maps of Pont and Blaeu indicate a 
Kildavie.—(Orig. Par. ii. 9.) There was 
also a Kildavie in the north of the par- 
ish of Kilninian in Mull.—(Orig. Par. ii. 
320.) 


DACHONNA, B. Vide MACHARIUS 
and Mauritius. November 12. On the 
variations of the names of Dachonna, 
see Colgan, Acta SS. Hib., p. 60, col. 1, 
note 1. 


DAGAMUS, B. and C. May 29, 
cir. 609.—We often find a confusion 
between n and m in the Scottish Lists. 
As we find Cromanus and Cronanus 
confounded, so this Dagamus is the 
same as the Daganus of Beda. He was 
celebrated in Galloway, and educated 
at Banchory (“ Benchorensi Monasterio,” 
Camerarius, p. 151), though this pro- 
bably means the Irish Bangor. 


DALTA—DARLUGDACH. 


From simplicity he suspected of 
heresy all rites that were alien from the 
ancient ones of his island. He violently 
opposed the ceremonies introduced by 
S. Augustine of Canterbury, not unwill- 
ingly agreeing with his opinion about 
Easter, but, being with difficulty induced 
to make the change.—(Lesleus, De 
Origine Scotorum, p. 153, ed. 1578.) 

In the letter to the Scoti, under 
date 609, from Laurentius and Mellitus 
we find “Nam Daganus Ep. ad nos 
veniens non solum cibum nobiscum sed 
nec in eodem hospitio quo vescebamur, 
sumere voluit.—(Beda, H. E, l. ii. e. 4.) 

The Dunkeld Litany has Dagamach. 


DALTA. December 27, A.D. 100.— 
Dalta-Christ, i. e. the. foster child or pupil 
of Christ, was used as a honorific title 
for S. John the Evangelist. So also 
was Eoin na-bruinne, John of the 
Breast. 

Eoin na-bruinne Dalta Dei occurs in 
the Codex Maelbrigte.—(See Dr. Reeves' 
paper thereon in the Proceedings of 
the Royal Irish Academy, January 18, 
1851, p. 9. There is a parish of Kil- 
dalton in the Island of Islay.—(Orig. 
Par. ii. 268.) 


DAMIANUS was a companion of 8. 
Regulus. One of the churches in &. 
Andrews was dedicated to  him.— 
(Skene, Chron. of Picts and Scots, p. 
187. He is honoured at Cumbernauld 


(Dempster). 
DARERCA. See MopwENa or Mo- 
NYNNA. 


DARLUGDACH. February 1, A.D. 


321 


524.—Thomas Innes says, ^ The death 
of Brigid was soon after followed 
by that of Darlugtach Virgin, her 
disciple: the same who came over to 
Britain in the time of Nectan, the third 
king of the Picts, and conversed with 
him on the first foundation of the ancient 
church of Abernethy. Her feast is cele- 
brated February the first."— (Innes, Civ. 
and Eccl Hist. of Scotland, p. 128: 
Spalding Club. See Irish Nennius, p. 
163); and it is to be observed that her 
feast and that of S. Brigida, her prede- 
cessor, are on the same day, just as in 
the case of S. Columba and his imme- 
diate successor. 

* Nectan Morbet, son of Erip, reigned 
24 years. In the third year of his 
reign, Darlugdach, abbess of Kildare, 
in Ireland, was an exile for Christ's sake 
in Britain. In the second year of her 
sojourn, Nectoniusdedicated Aburnethige: 
to God and S. Brigid, in the presence 
of Darlugdach, who sang Alleluia over 
such an offering."—(Skene, Chron. of 
Picts and Scots, p. 6.) 

One miracle is recorded of her in 
S. Ultan's Life of S. Brigida, c. 99. 
Darlugdach, not guarding her eyes, fell 
in love with a soldier, who returned her 
passion. She agreed to meet him, and 
with this intention, rose from the bed in 
which she was sleeping with S. Brigid. 
Suddenly a perturbation of soul and a 
mortal struggle between fear and love 
took place in her heart. She prayed 
the Lord to help her in this strait, and, 
aided by him, she filled her shoes with 
burning coals, and put her feet into them. 
One fire killed the other, and one pain 
overcame the other, and she went back 


2T 


322 


to bed. Brigida knew it all, but. said 
nothing. Next day she confessed her sin, 
and Brigida said, “For that thou hast 
fought bravely last night, and hast in 
the present time burnt thy foot, the 
flame of impurity shall not again hurt 
thee in this life, nor the fire of hell in 
the world to come.” Then she touched 
the injured feet, ahd healed them.—(See 
Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 229.) 


DAVANAN.—*" There were chapels 
(in Bute) also at Kilmory, S. Ninian's 
Point, Nether Ardroscadale, S. Calmag 
(at which is a great stone cross), Kilda- 
vanan and Kilmichael.”—(Orig. Par. ii. 
p. 229.) 


DAVID, K, 4.5. 1153.—4 panegyric 
on this excellent king, by his contem- 
porary, S. Aelred of Rievaux, has come 
down to us.—(Pinkerton, Vite Antique 
Sanctorum Scotis, p. 439.) It was 
written on the occasion of his death. 
It records his foundation of five or 
six bishopries, and of monasteries of 
the Cluniac, Cistercian, Tyronensian, 
Arrovensian, Premonstratensian, and 
Belvacensian orders. It speaks of his 
reluctance to assume the office of king 
(sect. ii), of his tenderness and justice 
in its administration (sect. iii.), of his ac- 
cessibility and liberality to the lowly 
(sect. iv.) He would withdraw his foot 
from the mounting-block (scansili), and 
return to administerjustice. He admitted 
all to his conversation, and spoke to them 
not only about great things, but about 
gardens, and buildings, and orchards. 
He promoted peace among the clergy at 
the cost of his own dignity (sect. vi.).. His 


DAVANAN—DAVID. 


married and widowed life was exem- 
plary. His one fault was that he did 
not control the fury of his soldiers when 
they invaded England. For this he was 
sorry, and saw the hand of God in the 
defeat of his armies, and in the per- 
plexities hesuffered from the sham bishop, 
who pretended to be the son of the Earl 
of Moray, and in the premature loss of 
his only son (sect. vii. He made the 
Templars, then in the fervour of their 
early zeal, the guardians of his morals. 
He communicated and confessed weekly, 
said the divine office seven times a-day, 
relieved the poor with his own hands, 
made his will in expectation of his 
decease, and lived as a monk as well as 
a king. Nor did he neglect his country. 
He adorned it with castles and towns, 
developed foreign commerce, and pro- 
moted its internal advancement. 

Aelred gives a beautiful and circum- 
stantial account of his deathbed. He 
received the Viaticum, venerated the 
celebrated black cross, received extreme 
unction on the Friday, spent the Satur- 
day in psalmody, repeating such verses 
3s8—" I deal with the thing that is law- 
ful and right: O give me not over 
unto my oppressors ;" and, “ When I was 
in trouble I called upon the Lord, and 
He heard me.” When he was asked by 
those around him to rest a little, he said, 
“Suffer me rather to meditate on the 
things of God, that my spirit, setting 
forth for its fatherland from this exile, 
may be refreshed by the provision for 
the way of the Word of God. For 
when I shall have to stand before the 
tremendous judgment-seat of God, none 
of you shall answer for me, none of you 


DERMITIUS—DEVINIC. 


shall protect me, neither shall any one be 
able to rescue me from His hand.” That 
night closed in prayer, and, as the day 
dawned on the Sunday, he passed away 
so tranquilly that he seemed to sleep, 
with his hands folded as in prayer upon 
his breast. 

For a modern life of S. David, in 
which due justice is done both to his 
political wisdom and sincere religion, 
see Robertson’s Scotland under her 
Early Kings, vol i. pp. 187-234, Edin- 
burgh, 1862. 


DERMITIUS, A. August 2.—S. 
“ Dermitius was held in high honour by 
S. Columba. He was abbot in Iona, 
and was celebrated in the Hebrides.” — 
(Camerarius, p. 165.) There seems a 
confusion here. The Dermitius contem- 
porary with S. Columba was the father of 
Aedh.—(Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 42.) The 
abbot of Iona (815-831) was called 
Dalta Daighre. In his time was the 
second massacre of the inhabitants of 
Hy, when S. Blaithmaic was martyred. 
. There is a Diarmaid Chapel in Card- 
ross (Orig. Par. i. 27) ; also in Balnoch, 
in the parish of Row. —(N. S. A., Dum- 
barton, viii. 78.) 

At Kilbride, in Glenfruin, there was 
a chapel of old, the remains of which 
are still known as Chapel Diarmid.— 
(Orig. Par. i 27.) 


DEVINIC, C. November 13, A.D. 
887.—The legend of this saint, whose 
name is not found in any of the Irish lists, 
isas follows :—' When the blessed fathers 
Columba and Mauricius were preaching 
in Scotland, Devinicus, a very old man, 


323 


also flourished. He divided the work 
of the ministry between himself and 
Mauricius, going to the Provincia Ca- 
thinorum (Caithness) while Mauricius 
went to the Picts. S. Mauricius said, 
* Now again we shall be joined. Even 
in the celestial life shall we for ever 
be joined together, and rejoice with 
Christ. But one thing I desire, 
that as death is at hand, when my 
time comes, le& my body be brought 
to this place and be buried here. The 
saint agreed, and Devinicus went to the 
Cathini, preaching the Word. At 
length Devinicus came to die, and told 
them to take his body to some of the 
churches of Mauricius, mindful of his 
old engagement. And this was done. 
The following night S. Mauricius saw 
angels descending on the church where 
the holy body lay, and said, ‘A guest 
cometh, to whom we must pay honour ;' 
but on coming they found not the body, 
for they who carried it, wishing to rest, 


-had borne it to a place called Crostan. 


There they held vigil, and then brought 
it to a place called Banquhory Devynik, 
where a church was raised in his honour.” 
—(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. f. clx. a; 
V.D. A, 264; Regist. Episcop. Aberd. 
i 119; N. S. A,, Aberdeen, 962-975.) - 

Criech was probably dedicated to this 
saint, who is.known there as S. Teav- 
neck.—(Orig. Par. ii. 684-691.) 

At Methlick is St. Denick's fair, on 
the second Tuesday in November.— 
(V. D. A. p. 320.) S. Devenick's well 
is on the opposite side of the Ythan. 

May not our S. Devenick be the same 
as S. Dewednack, to whom the church 
of Landewednack, the most southerly 


324 


church in England, about a mile N.E. 
from the Lizard Point, is dedicated 1— 
See Gentleman’s Magazine, vol. cexiii. 
pp. 540-5 (Nov. 1862), where it is said, 
“The present name evidently had the 
same origin as Landevenach in Bretagne.” 


DIACONANUS, C. and M. Decem- 
ber 23.—The Martyrology of Aberdeen 
supplies us with the name of S. Diacon- 
anus. * Eodem die Sancti Diaconani 
confessoris apud Keg Aberdonensis 
diocesis." The church of Keig is dedi- 
cated to him.—(V. D. A. 619; also 
Camerarius, p. 177.) 

In the Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. fol. 
xxii, the place of dedication is left 
blank.  * Deinde fiat memoria de 
Sancto Diaconano confessore et martyre 
patrono de. . . .. " 


DIMANUS. July 19, A.D. 670.— 
Camerarius (p. 164) says, * Colo ipsum 
dedit Strahnavernia Scotie provincia 
sub Christi annum 670. De eo Regius 
in Calendario et ali" This is in- 
correct. There is a Dinnaus (16 Nov.) 
in Dempster. The Bollandists (Acta 
Sanct. Jul. tom. iv. p. 580) take 
occasion under this saint’s name to 
rebuke the uncritical habits of the 
Scottish and Irish hagiologists :—“ Et 
mirantur Scoti sque ac Hiberni nos in 
eorum sanctis admittendis paulo moro- 
siores.” 


DIUMA.—Diuma was one of the 
four priests who went with King Peada 
to the Midland Angles, after that he and 
all his earls, soldiers, and servants had 
been baptized by Bishop Finan at the 
Wall. He is mentioned as being a Scot, 


DIACONANUS—DONALD, 


which epithet in Beda’s time had not 
been restricted to the modern significa- 
tion.—(Beeda, lib. iii, c. 21.) 


DOBAN. April 12.—Invocated in 
Dunkeld Litany. Said by Camerarius, 
who quotes the life of S. Willibald, p. 
387, to be * Socius Sti. Bonifacii Epis- 
copi Trehetensis."—(Camerarius, p. 129.) 


DOKIE. —In Forfarshire in the 
parish of Monifieth, is Chapel Dokie. 
Probably it takes its name from 8. 
Murdoch. 


DOMIANE.—"Among us were at that 
time Connane, Columbane, Cromane, and 
Domiane, with many others."—(Bellen- 
den's Boece, ix. c. 21, ed. 1821, ii. 108.) 


DOMINAE.—In the parish of Barr in 
Ayrshire, *one memorial of Roman 
Catholie days exists in the ruins of a 
chapel called Kirk Domins, and in a well 
close by it, in the rising ground behind, 
and approached by a regularly built arch- 
way."—(N. S. A., Ayrshire, p. 409.) Can 
this be a latinisation of Tighernach, or is 
it the not uncommon name Domhnach ? 


DONALD. July 12, cir. A.D. 716.— 
S. Donald or Donevaldus, with his nine 
daughters, is said by local tradition to 
have led a religious life in the glen 
of Ogilvy, in Forfarshire, where they 
are still remembered as the nine 
maidens. After his death they are said 
to have gone to Abernethy. Boece 
makes seven maidens. — (Bellenden's 
Boece, ix. c. 25., ed. 1821, vol. ii p. 116.) 

The church of Fin-aven appears to 


DONAN. 


have been an early foundation, probably 
dedicated to the Nine Maidens.—(Jer- 
vise's Memorials of Angus and Mearns, 
p. 30) So also Strathmartin (p. 338). 
There is a Nine Maiden Well there 
and in the park at Glamis (ibid) See 
MAZOTA. 


DONAN, A. AND HIS COMPANIONS. 
April 17, A.D. 616.—There are no special 
lectionsin the Aberdeen Breviary on the 
life of S. Donan, The lections are the ix. 
of a Confessor and Abbot, and that only 
in the church that is dedicated to him, 
and when the feast falls within passion- 
tide. But, it is ordered that there be 
only three lections concerning him, with 
the regimen chori, in the Paschal season. 
It may be observed that the Kalendar 
and the Sanctorale transpose S. Donan 
and S. Magnus. 

A name so common in Scotland (for 
Kildonan occurs in several counties) 
might well have attracted the attention 
of the compilers of the Breviary of 
Aberdeen, and reference to the Irish 
Kalendars shows that.a search could not 
have been fruitless. They exhibit to us 
what occurs so seldom in Irish hagiology, 
a martyr: for Ireland was in the main 
converted without the blood of its 
missionaries being shed. It was different 
in the islands of Scotland. Not to men- 
tion S. Adrian of the May, we have “S. 
Donan of Eig, and 52 martyrs of his 
monks,"— (Table of the Martyrology 
of Donegal, p. 405.) “Donnan of Ega, 
Abbot. Ega is the name of an island in 
which he was after coming from Erin. 
And there came robbers of the sea, on a 
certain time, to the island, when he was 


325 


celebrating mass. He requested of them 
not to kill him until he should have mass 
said, and they gave him this respite. 
And he was afterwards beheaded, 
and fifty-two of his monks along with 
him. And all their names are in a 
certain old book of the books of Erin, 
A.D. 616.”—(Mart. Don.) This book is 
in fact the Martyrology of Tamhlacht, 
now preserved in S, Isidoro’s at Rome. 
See Reeves’ Adamnan, pp. 223, 303,

church or chapel at Kildonnell in the 
northern part of the parish" [of Kil- 
chousland in Kintyre.]—(Orig. Par. ii.

DONORT. August 19, A.D. 1098.— 
‘He was Bishop of Murthlach. He rests 
upon the doubtful authorities of 
Dempster, Camerarius Conzus, and 
Leslie, drawing their information from 
Boece.—(V. D. A. p. 143.)

S. Columba is in his handwriting.— 
(Reeves' Adamnan, p. 242.) 


DOTTO, A. April 9, A.D. 502.—S. 
Dotto was a celebrated abbot in the 
Orkneys, after whom one of the islands 
was called, It contained churches and 
monasteries dedicated to S. Brandan, 
over the chief of which S. Dotto pre- 
sided. He is said to have died in 502, 
but Camerarius (p. 128) does not give

ence, —(Acta Sanct. April, t. i, p. 810.) 


DRITHELM, A. September 2.— 
At Melrose, Drithelm, in a trance, saw 
a vision of the next world, and retired 
into a monastery, where he passed his 
life in great austerity.—(See Beda, H. 
E. v. 12.) 


DRONACH.—Dronach, holy con- 
fessor and monk, is invoked in the Litany 
of Dunkeld. There is à Glen-dronach 
near Forgue. 


DROSTAN. December 15.— The 
most ancient document of Scotland, in 
ihe modern sense, the Book of Deer, in- 
troduces us to this saint as the com- 
panion of the great S. Columba on the 
occasion of a visit of that great mis- 
sionary to Aberdour in Buchan, which 
was granted to them, with freedom from 
mormaor and toisech, by Bede, the Pict, 
the ruler of the country. The site of 
the Abbey of Deer was also given to 
them, twelve miles farther inland. S. 
Columba left, delegating his power to 
Drostàn.—(Book of Deer, p. 91, pref. v.- 
vii, Spalding Club.) His legend in the 
Brev. of Aberdeen runs thus :—'* Blessed 
Drostan (son of Cosgrach), of the royal 
stock of the Scoti, having heard even in 
his boyish years the mysteries of the in- 
carnation and passion of our Lord, when 
he had come to mature age asked to de- 
vote himself to the service of Almighty 
God. His parents therefore handed him 
over to his uncle S. Columba, then resi- 
dent in Ireland, to be educated, and he 
afterwards assumed the monastic habit

at Dalquongale. On the death of the 
abbot, he was elected in his place, but. 
after ruling the monks well, he did not 
desert his flock, but committed himself 
to the Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ, and 
betaking himself to the eremitical life 
built the church of Glenesk. Here he 
gave sight to a blind priest, Symon, and 
resisted by compunction and maceration 
of the flesh the assaults of the demon. 
His relies are preserved in a stone tomb 
at Aberdowyr, where many sick persons 
find relief£."— (Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. 
f. xix.) 

An old burial-ground at Westfield, in 
Caithness, is dedicated to S. Drostan (N. 
8. A., Caithness, 73); so also Halkirk and 
Cannisbay, Lochlee, Newdosk, and Ed- 
zell. Skirdurstan (now joined to Aberlour), 
Alvie and Dunnaughton, Insch (where 
is the Dustan fair), Rothiemay, Brabster, 
Caningsbay, Deer, and Aberdeen, were 
also under his tutelage.—(The Book of 
Deer, pref. p. v., Spalding Club) He 
appears as S. Modrustus at Markinch.

DUFFUS, K. M. January 11, A.D. 
967.—The dynastic quarrels, which 
arose so constantly out of the laws of 


327 


succession in the Celtic tribes are the 
interpretation of the obscure facts which. 
have come down to us touching this 
monarch. Robertson, in his Scotland. 
under her Early Kings (vol i p. 77), 
says, “The reign of Duff, the eldest son 
of Malcolm I., and representative of the 
senior branch of the royal family, 
appears to have been passed in a con- 
tinual struggle against the pretensions 
raised by the now rival line of Aodh in 
the person of Indulf’s son Colin: and 
though at first successful, defeating Colin 
at the battle of Duncrub, in which [Dub- 
dan] the mormaor of Athole and[Duchad] 
the abbot of Dunkeld were slain, he was 
subsequently less fortunate, and was 
driven by his rival from the throne, 
losing his life on a later occasion at 
Forres, a place so disastrous to every 
member of his family, where his body 
was said to be hidden under the bridge 
of Kinloss, tradition adding that the sun 
refused to shine until the dishonoured 
remains of the murdered monarch re- 
ceived the burial of a king.” There was 
an eclipse of the sun on the 10th of 
July 967.—(Annal. Ulton. 966 ; Skene, 
Chron. of Picts and Scots, cxliii. ; Innes, 
Crit. Essay, p. 802; Fordun, Scotichron. 
1, iv. c. 28, ed. Goodall, i. 207.) 

Duffus (which is the latinisation of 
Dubh—the black one—called also 
Niger in the Pictish Chronicle, was 
buried in Iona.—(Innes, Crit. Essay, 
p. 787; Skene, Chron. of Picts and 
Scots, pp. 10, 151.) He is described by 
Fordun as “vir columbinae simplicitatis, 
quietem diligens et pacem; rebellium 
vero predonum et latronum severus 
ultor, terribilis et cruentus."

DUNCHAD. March 24, A.D. 716.— 
S. Dunchad, whose name is latinised as 
Donatus, flourished in Ireland in the end 
of the seventh age. He was of the 
race of Conall Gulban which supplied so 
many abbots to Hy and saints to heaven. 
He became abbot of Kill-lochuir or Kill- 
chlochuir, on the east coast of South 
Ulster, where in Colgan's time he was 
annually honoured as the patron of the 
place and of sailors. Then he became 
abbot of Hy, and he is the Abbas 
Duunchadus mentioned by Beda, H. E. 
(v. 22), under whose government, by the 
persuasion of Ecgberctus, the Hyensian 
society adopted the Catholic time of 
keeping Easter. He died in 716.— 
(Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 745.) The 
Martyrology of Donegal places his day 
at May 25, viii. Kal. Jun., and makes 
him the son of Cennfaeladh. He was 
ten years in the abbacy.—(Mart. Don. 
139.) The Felire of Aingus gives

DUTHAC or DUBTACH, B. and C. 
March 8, A.D. 1068.—Duthac sprang 
from no ignoble family of Scoti, and was 
early imbued by wise instructors in the 
Christian faith. While he was occupied 
in these juvenile studies, God Almighty 
willed by him to show forth a wonderful 
miracle ; for his preceptor sending him 
for some fire to a workshop, the work- 
man, snatching up with a tongs no

ordinary quantity of burning thorns, 
cast them into the bosom of the youth, 
who bore them to his master safely, his 
clothes remaining unsinged and un- 
scathed. 

Then, by divine direction, he crossed 
to Hybernia, where he betook himself 
to the study of the precepts and laws 
both of the Old and New Testament, 
which, on his return to Scocia, with all 
gentleness he taught publicly. Then he 
was shortly after made bishop. He was 
consecrated by his co-bishops as “ uni- 
versalis et praecipuus pastor,” and was 
remarkable for his miraculous powers. 
Among his miracles is a picturesque one 
that throws some little light on the man- 
ners of the time. Ata feast, to which S. 
Duthac was invited, one of the company, 
smitten with a sick headache from drink- 
ing, sent to his house a portion of swine’s 
flesh, with a gold ring, by one of the 
saint’s disciples, but he, passing a ceme- 
tery, laid down the flesh with the ring 
while he said a prayer for the souls 
of those buried there. Straightway a 
hungry kite snatched them up, and flew 
away with them across a river to a 
dense wood. The disciple, in fear of 
the anger both of the owner and of his 
master, straightway returned and told 
what had happened. Whereupon S. 
Duthac retired for a few minutes, and, 
after praying for a short time, the kite 
returned and laid what he had taken at 
his feet. Blessed Duthac accepted the 
ring, but restored the flesh to the kite, 
which anon with joy flew away. A 
miracle of the increase of food was 
performed by him in the case of a 
cake made with honey and butter, 


DUTHAC—EATA. 


the remains of which worked miracles 
of healing. A canon of the church 
of Dornoch, in celebrating the feast 
of S. Finnbar (of Cork), ordered a 
fat ox to be killed for the poor, and 
himself determining to carry a portion 
to S. Duthac in a dark and stormy 
night, the spit on which he carried the 
food gave a light both coming and going. 
[A story similar to this is mentioned in 
the case of John Fian or Cunningham, 
in 1590, who was burned for witchcraft. 
Indeed it can be accounted for by the 
laws of physics.] §. Duthac died on the 
8th of the ides of March, and is greatly 
honoured in the church of Tayne, in the 
diocese of Ross, to which church is a 
great concourse of pilgrims. His body, 
seven years afterwards, was found in- 
corrupt, and his relics were translated 
to a grander shrine.—(Brev. Aberd. pars 
hyem. f. Ixv.) 

If the Supplement to Fordun may 
be trusted, S. Duthac had another tie 
to Seotland in his disciple Malisius, or 
Macliosa, who he prophesied. would 
become Episcopus Scotorum. Malisius 
is marked in the Catalogue as after 
Fothad and Kellach. It is true that 
the Edinburgh College MS. and the 
Cupar MS. have not this entry .—

EATA, B. and C., A.D. 611. October 
26.—S. Eata was one of the Anglic 
boys whom S. Aidan trained at Lindis- 
farne. He professed there, and became 
abbotofMeuros,?.e. Melrose.—(Capgrave, 
Nova Legenda, fol. 98 a.) S. Boisil and 
S. Cuthbert were his pupils. After the 
dispute in S. Hilda's Convent on the 
observance of Easter, S. Colman prayed 
that S. Eata might be made abbot of 
Lindisfarne, and S. Cuthbert, who had 
succeeded Boisil as prepositus or prior 
of Melrose, accompanied him in that 
capacity to the scene of his labours. 

After this, on the occasion of the 
banishment of S. Wilfrid by Egfrid, 


2v 


330 


Bosa was consecrated for York, and Eata 
for Lindisfarne and. Hexham. After 
three years Trumwin was ordained 
bishop in the province of the Picts, at 
that time subject to the Angles, and 
Tunbertus at Hexham, while Eata re- 
mained at Lindisfarne. After three 
years, Tunbertus was deposed, and S. 
Cuthbert elected in his stead, whereupon 
he and Eata exchanged dioceses, Eata 
returning to Hexham, and S. Cuthbert 
going to Lindisfarne.  Eata died of 
dysentery.—(Beda, H. E. lib. iv. 27, 
28; also v. 2; Capgrave, fol 98 
a, 99.) 


EBBA, V. and A. August 25, A.D. 
683.—S. Ebba is known to us from the 
History of Beda.—(H. E. lib. iv. c. 19.) 
According to her life in the Brev. of 
Aberdeen, she was the uterine sister of 
S. Oswald, and being exiled with her 
seven brothers, she was protected by 
Donald Brek, King of Scotland. She 
received the veil from 8S. Finan of 
Lindisfarne, but in order to devote her- 
self to divine contemplation, she betook 
herself to a high rock. S. Etheldreda 
of Ely and S. Cuthbert visited her. She 
died four years before the latter saint, 
and was buried at Coludi or Coldingham. 
The rest of the legend describes the 
discovery of her body, and the miracles 
wrought at her tomb.—(Brev. Aberd. p. 
estiv. fol. Ixxxvii) Capgrave (Nova Le- 
genda, fol. xcix.) mentions that by the 
help of another of her brothers, Osui, she 
built Ebbchester on the Derwent, which 
was in ruins when the author wrote. 
She was abbess of Coldingham when 
Adamannus predicted its destruction by 


EBBA—EDILWALDUS. 


fire, on account of the laxity of the nuns, 
Vide supra, ADAMANNUS. 

The saint gave her name to S. Abb’s 
Head, where she founded a monastic 
establishment. Beda alludes to the 
weaving of fine linen there. It was 
burnt in 679, and a second edifice, raised 
on its ruins, was burnt again by the 
Danes a century after that. It was re- 
erected in 1088, and again at the end 
of the fourteenth century. There are 
still the remains of two chapels of that 
date.—(Stuart's Sculptured Stones, ii. 
631. See also O. S.A. v. 506, xii. 
57; N.S. A., Berwick, pp. 279, 281, 
313.) 


EBBA, V. M. April 2, av. 874.— 
The Ebba commemorated on this day was 
a later abbess of Coldingham, who, on 
the occasion of the attack of the Danes 
under Ingvar and Hubba, in 870 or 
874, cut off her nose and lips, and in- 
duced her community to do the same, 
in order that they might escape the 
licentiousness of the invaders, Shocked 
by the sight they set fire to the monas- 
tery, and the abbess and nuns perished 
in the flames.—(Baronius, Annales, ad 
ann. 870, t. x. p. 463.) 


EDILWALDUS, av. 746.—Edil 
vald, abbot of the monastery of Mael- 
ros, Bishop of Lindisfarne, in the pro- 
vince of Northumbria a man learned 
in the Holy Scriptures, and an emi- 
nent preacher, gathered in no little 
fruit to the church.—(Trithemius de 
viris illustribus Ord. S. Benedicti, p. 528: 
in Regulà S. Benedicti, Colon. Agripp. 
1575.) 


EDMUND—EGIDIUS. 


EDMUND. October 3.—Son of Mal- 
colm Ceanmore and S. Margaret. He 
conspired with Donald Bane in that 
monarch’s attempt to regain the Scottish 
crown from Duncan IL, who was 
treacherously slain at Monachedin (Mon- 
dynes), on the banks of the Bervie. 
After a three years’ restoration, in which 
it is difficult to say what share Edmund 
had in the government, Edgar Athe- 
ling succeeded in enthroning his nephew 
Edgar, and in mutilating and imprison- 
ing Donald at Roscolpie (Rescobie). 
Edmund betook himself to the Cluniac 
Monastery of Montague in Somerset- 
shire, where he lived and died like a 
saint.—(See Innes’ Crit. Essay, Ap- 
pendix iv. p. 793.) His austerity was 
very great, and he desired to be buried 
in chains.—(Willam of Malmesbury, 
De Gestis Regum Anglorum, lib. v. ed. 
Hardy, p. 628 ; Camerarius, p. 178.) 


EDNAN, B.—He occurs in the 
Dunkeld Litany. 


EDWARD, B. April 18. cir. ap. 
1160.—S. Edward was Bishop of Aber- 


deen.—(See Boethius de Vitis Episcop.. 


Aberdon.) 

The Bollandists express their wonder 
that there is no allusion to him in the 
Breviary of Aberdeen.—(Acta Sanct. 
April, t. ii. p. 522.)— There was a Saint 
Edward commemorated at Balmerinoch, 
- Lesley (De Orig. Scot. p. 225,ed. 1578) 
makes him contemporary with Malcolm 
the Maiden (1153-1165). He witnesses 
to the gift of King David I. to the Abbey 
of Dunfermline, and again in the third 
year of Malcolm IV. to its confirmation. 


331 


The latter wasin 1156. He must have 
died very soon after, for his successor 
Galfrid was certainly dead before 1164. 


EGBERT. ap. 729.— Egbert and 
Edilhun were noble Angles The 
former was made bishop in the province 
of Lindesey, where he long governed the 
church worthily. The brothers being 
taken severely ill at Rathmelsigi (the 
only Irish place mentioned by Beda 
which has not been identified), where 
all the brotherhood were dispersed or 
destroyed by a pestilence, were at the 
point of death. Egbert prayed for 
longer life, that he might do penance, 
and further exercise himself in good 
works. His supplication was heard, 
and while Edilhun died next night, he 
was spared to grace the sacerdotal office 
for a long time, and to be a great bene- 
factor not only to his own nation, but to 
the Picts and Scots among whom he 
lived a stranger.—(Beda, H. E. 1. iii. c. 
28.) 


EGIDIUS, A. September 1, A.D. 714. 
—The Aberdeen Martyrology at this day 
gives, “In pago Neumacensi Sti. Egidii 
Abbatis.” King calls him “Abot of 
Arls in Provance.” S. Giles finds his 
way into the Scottish Kalendars through 
that of Sarum. Supposed to be of 
Greek parentage, he flourished in the 
south of France, and became a popular 
saint, his praises being sung by S. Fulbert 
of Chartres. His cultus extended from 
France into Hungary, Flanders, and 
Germany. He wasinvoked, with fifteen 
other saints, by the special title of 
* Auxiliator.” There is an anonymous 


332 


life of him given by Stilting in the 
Acta Sanctorum Jun. t. i. pp. 284-304. 
He was honoured in Edinburgh (Regist. 
Cartarum Eccles. S. Egidii de Edin- 
burgh, Bannatyne Club), in Fintray (V. 
D. A. 245), in Moffat and Elgin, where 
fairs were held in his honour. — (See 
Regist. Episcop. Morav. p. 313.) 


ELIZABETH.—There is an Eliza- 
beth's Fair at Ellon in December, and 
at Baledgarno.

EMILIA. A.D. 521.—4 Saint of this 
name has a fair at Lovat. There isa S. 
ZEmiliana of the 5th of January, the 
aunt of Pope S. Gregory the Great (Gre- 
gorii Hom. 38; Baronii Martyrol. Rom. 
p. 21) also a S. ZEmiliana, who gave 
a “title” to one of the Roman churches 
mentioned in the second Council of 
Rome under Pope Symmachus (Baron. 
ibidem.) In one of the Auctaria of 
Usuard we have, *In Africa Marchie 
natalis Sancte  Milie et  Felicis."— 
(Usuard. ed. Soller. p. 345.) 


ENAN. April 29.—Enan of the 
island of Egg.— (Mart. Donegal, p. 115.) 


ENGLATIUS, A. November 3, A.D. 
966.—No details of the life of this saint 
are known. The collect in the Breviary 
prays that by his intercession we may be 
saved from the concupiscence of the 
world, and neither be corrupted by its 
blandishments nor crushed by its frowns. 
All the lists associate him with the 
parish of Tarves, where his local name 


ELIZABETH—ERNAN. 


is Tanglan.—(V. D. A. 329.) There is 
a Tanglan’s well at the village, and 
Tanglan’s ford on the Ythan. 


ENOCH. See THENEW. 


EOBANACH, M. June 5.—He occurs 
among the martyrs in the Dunkeld 
Litany. Camerarius assigns him this 
day. 


EOGLODIUS. October 13.—He also 
occurs in the Dunkeld Litany. Camer- 
arius makes him honoured in Iona, 
Dempster in Galloway. They place him 
at January 25.

ERNAN A. January 1, A.D. 640. 
—S. Ernanus, who is also called 
Ferreolus, was of the race of Conall 
Gulban, being nephew to S. Columcille. 
With his brother Cobtachus, he became 
a monk in Ireland. These brothers 
(veiled under the names of Cibthacus 
and ZEthernanus, in the pages of Hector 
Boethius) were among the twelve follow- 
ers of S. Columba who crossed to Alba to 
convert the Scots and Picts, After many 
years S. Ernan returned to Ireland, and 
established himself in Tyr ZEdha (now 
Tirhugh) at a place called Druim 
Thuama (Drumhome, in the county of 
Donegal. S. Adamnan mentions a 
vision which he had in his old age, on 


ERNENEUS—ETHERNANUS. 


the night of the death of S. Columba. 
He died at the age of 70, about the 
year of Christ 640. 

He is patron of Kilviceuen in Mull 
(See Reeves’ Adamnan, 237 n., 415, n.) ; 
also of Killernan (N. S. A., Ross, 63). 


ERNENEUS, A. See MARNOCH. 


ETAOIN, V. July 5.—“ Etaoin 
of Tuaim Noa, in Magh Luirg, on the 
bank of the Buill She is of the race 
of Brian, son of Eochaidh, Muighmhead- 
hoin [i.e. Moduena or Moedoena or 
Maudoena].” This clause added in 
the later hand signifies that Etaoin is 
also called Moduena by prefixing the 
devotional mo, my.—(Mart. Donegal, 
p. 187.) Camerarius, at this day, gives 
Moduenna. On the 6th of July, the 
Irish Kalendars give Monenne. See 
MODWENA. 


ETHAN. About a quarter of a mile 
to the east of the village of Burghead, a 
spring comes naturaly to the surface, 
called S. Ethan's Well. Nothing what- 
ever is known regarding the origin of the 
name.—(Historical Notice of The Broch 
or Burghead, by James Macdonald, A.M., 
Proceed. Soc. Antiq. Scot. vol iv. p. 
357.) It may be that this is Etaoin. 


ETHBIN. December 30.—S. Ethbin 
is found in the Dunkeld Litany. He is 
said to have gone to Ireland to preach 
to the barbarians. We have his life in 
Petrus De Natalibus, though at an- 
other day.—(Camerarius, p. 204.)

ETHERNANUS, B, and C. Decem- 
ber 2.— The collect for this saint is as 
follows :—'*O God, who of thy mercy 
bestowest upon us on earth whatsoever 
we ask by thy saints, grant that by the 
intercession of blessed Ethernan, thy 
Bishop and Confessor, what we urgently 
ask of thee we may mercifully obtain, 
through our Lord." This collect seems 
to have been/made with a view to de- 
fend the ancient faith against the new 
opinions. In 1509, attacks had already 
been made on the intercession and 
invocation of the saints, and it is pro- 
bable that Bishop Elphinstone had this 
in his view when he inscribed this 
collect. Indeed the legend — which 
contains no historical facts save the 
saint's birth from a noble family among 
the Scots, his high education, in the 
pursuit of which he went to Hibernia, 
his return to his native land, his 
elevation to the episcopate, his zeal 
in the discharge of his duty, and his 
connection with the church of Rathine, 
in Buchan—has very much the character 
of having been written to propagate the 
old religion. No miracles are attached 
to this saint’s history, but his exemplary 
discharge of the duties of a Catholic 
bishop is dwelt upon at some length. 

In the Annals of Ulster, at 669, we 
have “ Obitus Cummeni Albi Abbatis 
Jae. Itarnan et Corindu apud Pictones 
defuncti sunt.” Angus, at this day, has 


Maelodran mor mochtae. 
[Maelodran, the great, the swelling, 4.e. 
increasing. ] 


334 


If Maelodran means the tonsured 
servant of Adrian, we can understand 
§. Ethernan being honoured at the May. 
There is a fair at Forfar on his day, 
and in some accounts of that burgh, 
* Ffor proclaiming of S. Tuetheren’s 
fair att the Croce of Brechin, and in 
the crofts thereof.”—(Jervise’s Me- 
morials of Angus, p. 30.) 

He is Iphernan, as spelt in the Chartu- 
lary of Inchaffray. He is of Madderty 
(Lib. Insule Missarum, pp. 8, 4, 18, 67), 
and of Rathin (V. D. A. pp. 133, 134, 
135, 454). 

St. Eddran's Slack is a den where 
was his hermitage. He had a religious 
house on the Isle of May. Alex. Cumyn, 
Earl of Buchan, grants some wax or 40 
pence “ad luminarium S. Ethernini de 
insulá de May recipiend. apud Rossyn." 
—(Reg. Priorat. S. And. p. 383.) In 
the island of Taransay is a chapel called 
Eaglish Tarain.—(O. S. A. x. 376.) 


ETHERNANUS. (See ERNANUS. 


ETHERNASCUS,C. December22.— 
The Breviary gives only a collect. “O 
God, who didst will that the soul of 
blessed Ethernascus, thy confessor, should 
penetrate to the stars of heaven, vouch- 
safe that, as we celebrate his venerable 
birthday, we may, by his intercessions, 
be deemed of thy mercy, in respect of 
his merits, meet to ascend to the joys 
of his blessed life, through our Lord.” 
There is an antiphon to the Magnificat, 
but no lections to the feast. 

In the Irish Kalendars, under this 
day, we find, in the Felire of ZEngus— 


Itharnaisc nad labrae. 
[Itharnaise who spoke not.] 


ETHERNANUS—EUCHADIUS. 


In the Martyrology of Donegal, 
* U]tan Tua and Iotharnaise, two saints 
who are (buried or principally venerated) 
at Claonadh, 4e. a chureh which is in 
Ui Faelain in Leinster.” This is Clane, 
in the county of Kildare. 

He is of Lathrisk in Fife, where we 
find a church dedicated to St. John the 
Evangelist and S. Ethernase by David 
de Burnham on the v. of the Kalends 
of August 1243.—(Regist. Priorat. S. 
And. 348 ; O. S. A. vi. p. 15.) Thename 
Lanthrisk, or Lathrisk, contains evidently 
the Welsh Llan, which we find in Scot- 
land elsewhere, as at Lumphanan, and 
Panmure and Panbride—the p and / 
being interchangeable, as we find in the 
Spanish where plenus becomes Jeno. It 
is quite in accordance with probability 
that a Kildare saint should be found in 
the Church of Kenneth Macalpin. Thus 
we have a Cellach, at once abbot of Iona 
and Kildare, who died in 865.—(Grub, 
Eccl. Hist. i. 168.) 


EUCHADIUS. January 25, cir. A.D. 
597.—S. Euchadius, otherwise termed 
Echoid (Reeves' Adamnan, p. 240), 
Eoclodius, or ^ Eoglodius (Boece), 
was one of the twelve companions of 
S. Columkille who settled in Hy, 
and preached the gospel to the Picts 
and Scots. He is supposed to have 
written the Acts of S. Columba. Camer- 
arius mentions that he was honoured 
in Galloway. He is by some sup- 
posed to have died in 587, but it is 
more probable that he survived his 
master, who died in 597.—(Colgan, Acta 
SS. Hib. p. 163.) 

“The principal fairs (in Old Deer) 


EUCHADIUS—FAILBHE. 


are Aikey, held on the Wed. after the 
2d Tuesday of July, 0.8, and Dustan 
on S. Dustan” (N. S. A., Aberdeen, p. 
164); but it may be that Aikie refers 
to no saint, but to the oaks which give 
the name to Deer. 


EUCHADIUS, April 17, A.D. 634, 
was the second abbot of Lismore.— 
(See Reeves' Culdees, p. 49.) 

Tighernach has ** Eochoid ab. Lismoir, 
quievit.’—The Annals of Ulster have 
* Eochaidh, abb. of Lismor," A.D. 634. 
(See also Mart. Donegal, 105.) 


EUCHAN. August 23.—He is 
patron of Collace—(Regist. of Testa- 
ments, Commissariot of Glasgow.) This is 
evidently the Celtic Eoghan, latinised 
into Eugenius, of which name there are 
seven saints in the kalendar of the 
O'Clerys. Thisis probably the bishop in 
Ardstrath (now Ardstraw, County Ty- 
rone), the son of Caennach of Leinster ; 
who, carried off in his early youth by 
pirates to Britain, with Tighernach and 
others, on his liberation studied many 
years at Rosnat or Whithern. He. 
founded a monastery at Kilnamanach, 
County Wicklow, where he became the 
master of S. Kevin, and then he 
preached the gospel in the district now 
the diocese of Derry. 


EUCHINUS.—He is mentioned by 
Boece, Scot, Hist. c. viii. fol. 151 a, ed. 
1575, but he is omitted in Bellenden's 
version (vol. ii. p. 58, ed. 1821). 


EUGENIUS.— One of the seven 
hermits from the island in the Tiber, 


385 


who were said to have accompanied 
S. Regulus.—(Legend of S. Andrew, 
Skene, Chron. of the Picts and Scots, 
p. 187.) 


EUNAN. Vide ADAMNANUS. 


EVILLA.—She is invoked in the 
Dunkeld Litany. There is an Irish 
name Uibill. 


EVOCKS. Vide KEvoca. 


FAILBHE I, A. March 22, ap. 
679.—S. Failbhe was son of Pipan, the 
son of Amalgadius, of the noble race of 
Conall Gulban in Tyrconnel Finan, 
Abbot of Rath, was his brother, and Hy 
was recruited from this stock, almost. all 
the early abbots being related by blood. 
To that abbey Failbhe betook himself, 
and on the death of S. Cumin, in 668, 
he became abbot. He is quoted by his 
immediate successor, S. Adamnan. He 
seems twice to have revisited Ireland, 
probably in connection with the Paschal 
controversy. He died in 677. The 
Annals of Ulster make his return to 
Ireland come under the year 676 (675), 
and his death 679 (678).—(Colgan, Acta 
SS. Hib. p. 719. See also note, Reeves’ 
Adamnan, p. 376.) 


FAILBHE IL, A. March 10, A.D. 
754.—Besides the saint mentioned in 
the preceding article, there were four of 
the name. 1. Failbhe the Little, Abbot. 
of Cluan-mac-nois, who died in 711. 
2. The son of Guari, successor of S. 
Maelrubha at Apurcrossan, who perished 
by shipwreck, with twenty-two com- 


336 


panions, in 732. 3. The Abbot of 
Erdain, who died in 766. And lastly, 
another called the Little, who succeeded 
S. Killenus as Abbot of Hy in 747. 
Born in 668, this saint lived eighty 
years, reigned seven, and died in the 
year 754.— (Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. 
p. 576.) 


FECHIN. See VIGEANUS. 


FECHNO or FETNO. March 12. 
A.D. 580.—Fetno occurs in the Dun- 
keld Litany. He was, according to 
Camerarius, à man who devoted himself 
to preach the gospel among the Picts, 
bringing them back to the piety of 
the days of S. Ninian. Miracles were 
said to be wrought at his sepulchre.— 
(Camerarius, p. 116, quoting Boethius, 
Scotor. Hist. lib. ix. f£. 166 a, ed. 1575.) 
He was in truth one of the twelve com- 
panions of S. Columba, and his real 
name is Fiachna. 


FERGNA, B. March 2, A.D. 622.— 
Fergna, latinised into Fergnaus or Virg- 
nous, surnamed the White, or the Briton, 
from his residence in Scotland, was a 
fellow-citizen and relation of S. Colum- 
cile, with whom, from his earliest 
youth, he resided in the monastery of 
Hy. He made such progress in virtue 
that he was deemed meet to wit- 
ness and participate in some of the 
heavenly visions of his master. He re- 
turned to Ireland to S. Lugadius, who 
dwelt at Cluain-fenevil till the death of 
Columcille, which was miraculously com- 
municated to him. Upon thishe returned 
to Scotland, and led an eremitic life, first 


FECHIN—FERGUS. 


in the island of Hinba, and then in Muir- 
bule-mar.—(Reeves' Adamnan, p. 237.) 
He seems afterwards to have been Abbot 
of Hy, but the chronology is attended 
with difficulty, and, strange to say, he 
was in episcopal orders, against the 
exceptional rule of that monastery. The 
Annals of Ulster give 623 (622) as the 
date of his death. Aingus has 
Fel finn Fergna Iae. 
[The feast of the white Fergna in Hy.] 

(Reeves Adamnan, pp. 223, 224, 372, 
463.) 


FERGUS or FERGUSIANUS, B. and 
C. November 18.—The legend of S. Fer- 
gusian in the Aberdeen Breviary (pars 
estiv. fol clxiiii.), which is verified in 
almost every point by the dedications of 
the several churches of his foundation, 
statesthat, after having been many years a 
bishop in Ireland, he came to the western 
parts of Scotland, and to the confines of 
Strogeth, where he settled and laid the 
foundation of three churches. Thence 
he went to Cathania or Caithness, where 
for some time he occupied himself in 
converting the barbarous people. After 
that he visited Buchan, resting in a 
place now called Lungley, where he built 
a basilica, which to this day exists, 
dedicated to his honour. Then, moved 
by the Holy Spirit, he came to Glam- 
mis, where he consecrated a tabernacle 
for the God of Jacob, and where, full of 
years, he presignified the day of his 
death, and, slightly bowing his head, 
slept in the Lord. 

His bones, as time passed, became a 
blessing to the neighbourhood, and a 
pious abbot of Scone placed the sacred 


FERGUS. 


relics in marble, and carried off his head 
with all due honour to his monastery, 
where many miracles were performed. 
A woman with a tumour on her head 
was restored to health, At Lungley 
some sick persons keeping vigil in the 
church beheld a reverend figure in pon- 
tificals preparing to celebrate the divine 
mysteries, which speedily vanished away. 
On another occasion his bachul thrown 
into the waves caused a storm to cease. 

In verification of the historical points 
of this history, we find—1l. That near 
Strogeth are three churches: Strogeth 
S. Patrick, Blackford S. Patrick, and Dol- 
patrick, which suggest a connection with 
Treland.—(Orig. Par. i. pref xxiii) 2. In 
Caithness his churches are Wick and Hal- 
kirk.—(N. S. A., Caithness, 68.) 3. In 
Buchan, the village in the legend called 
Lungleyisnow named 8. Fergus.—(N.S.A. 
Aberdeen, p. 155.) He had also a church 
at Inverugy.—(V. D. A. p. 420.) In 
Banff there was a * Parochia de Sanct 
Fergus."— (Retours, Banff, 108. The 
church of Dyce, which was a chapelry 
of Kinkell, was also his.—(V. D. A. 
244, note) At Glammis we have 
S. Fergus’ cave and S. Fergus’ well 
—(See Glamis, its History and Anti- 
quities, by Andrew Jervise, Esq. 
Edin. 1861.) In the same county the 
church of Inchbrayoch, near Montrose, 
had two chapels dedicated to S. Mary 
and S. Fergus (Proceed. Soc. of Antiq. 
of Scot. vol ii. p. 459) ; and there was 
also S. Fergus well and in the old 
maps S. Fergus marked the burial. place 
of the Scotts of Ulishaven. There is a 
Loch Fergus in Cailton.—(N. 8. A, 
Ayr, p. 655.) 


337 


The statement that the Abbot of 
Scone carried off the head is confirmed 
by an entry in the Accounts of the Lord 
High Treasurer of a payment for a silver 
case for it by King James IV. His arm 
was preserved at Aberdeen.—(V. D. A. 
p. 244; Regist. Episcop. Aberdon. t. ii. 
p. 160. The Martyrology of Aberdeen 
assigns him the xvii Kal Dec. the 
same day as S. Machutus. 

Ata council held at Rome in A.D. 721, 
under Pope Gregory IL, in the heat of 
the iconoclastic controversy, when the 
Western Church was trying to emanci- 
pate itself from subjection to the decrepit 
civilisation of the East, and to put itself 
at the head of the untried but more 
promising movement of the occidental 
nations, while the Celtic Church was 
sending its missionaries through all 
Europe, there were certain canons passed 
with regard to irregular marriages, at 
which there were present twenty-two 
bishops, among whom were three 
strangers—Sinderad of Spain, Sedulius 
of Britain, and Fergustus of Scotland. 
The Pope, before the body of S. Peter, 
anathematised in eleven articles whoso- 
ever should marry a presbytera, even after 
the death of her husband, or a deaconess, 
or a nun, ora godmother, or a brother's 
wife, or a niece, or the wife of father 
or son, or a cousin, and other irregular 
connections, also those who committed 
sorceries, and clerics who allowed their 
hair to grow long.—(Mansi, Concilia, 
t. vii p. 109. Ed. Ven. 1729.) 

Now the signatures of the foreigners 
are remarkable. ^ Sedulius, Britannis 
Episcopus de genere Scotorum," must 
have belonged to the Strathclyde 


2x 


338 


Britons, who submitted to the Pope 
in 703, not tothe Welsh. North Wales 
submitted in 768, South Wales in 777. 
Sedulius is a common Celtic name. 
There were Sedulius, Abbot in Kildare, 
829, and Sedulius, Bishop in Roscom- 
mon, 814, besides the celebrated Sedu- 
lius Scotigena. The name was probably 
Siedhuil or Shiel—(See Colgan, Acta 
SS. Hib. p. 316.) 

The last signature is * Fergustus 
Episcopus Scotiz Pictus huie constituto 
a nobis promulgato subscripsi." The 
Martyrologies at the 8th September 
give Ferghus Cruithneach (Mart. Done- 
gal), Fergus Cruithnech (Mart. Tal- 
laght) This is, perhaps, the bishop 
who attended the council; and though 
the day is different, he may be the 
Scotch S. Fergus, because it is stated 
in the Legend in the Brev. of Aber- 
deen that he enjoyed the episcopal 
dignity in Ireland (Ybernia) for many 
years. It was fitting that Strath- 
clyde and Pictish bishops should be 
present at such a council, for irregulari- 
ties with regard to marriage extensively 
prevailed in the Celtic churches.— 
(Vide Vita S. Margarete, auctore Tur- 
goto: Pinkerton, Vite Antiq. Sanct. 
p. 342.) 


FERRANUS, B. May 24.—He oc- 
curs in the Dunkeld Litany. “Sanctus 
Ferranus Episcopus Culdzus in Scotia. 
De eo Lesleus et alii.” —(Camerarius, 
150. See Boethius, Scotor. Hist. lib. 
vi. f. 99, ed. 1575.) 


FIACRE, A. August 30, A.D. 760.— 
Of S. Fiacre, the friend of S. Kilian, and 


FERRANUS—FIACRE. 


the patron saint of Brie, in France, the 
Aberdeen  Breviary (pars estiv. fol. 
Ixxxxiiii) mentions that he applied 
to S. Faro, bishop of Meaux, for a 
place wherein to exercise the ere- 
mitic life, saying that he was a na- 
tive of Scotland, which John of Tine- 
mouth represents thus: "Ireland, the 
island of the Scots, gave me and my 
progenitors birth." — (Ussher, Works, 
vi p. 488.) The bishop bestowed on 
him part of his hereditary lands, to wit, 
Brodilium or Brueil, as much as he could 
dig in one day. This was miraculously 
great, and a woman denounced him to 
the bishop, wherefore women are not 
allowed to enter his chapel to this day. 
“It is said, All wemen that gangis 
in his chapell wil be othir blind or wod.” 
—(Boece, Bellenden’s trans. ed. 1821, 
vol ii p. 101.) We have another 
instance of his power. “Quhen King 
Hary had distroyit sindry boundis 
of Britane with gret heirschippis and 
slauchter, he invadit the landis and kirk 
of Sanet Fiacre, and be vengeance of 
God he wes strikin with sic infirmite, 
that na ingine of man micht cure him. 
; The medicinaris said 
it wes the maledy of Sanct Fiacre.”— 
(Ibid. ii, 492.) 

He is found in the Martyrology of 
Aberdeen. * Eodem die Fiacrii Abbatis." 
Three days previously, in the same 
Kalendar, there is another S. Fiacrius, 
* Augustoduno Sancti Fiacrü Episcopi," 
also honoured in Scotland. 

His actual name is Fiachra.—(See 
O’Donovan’s Tribes and Customs of 
Hy  Fiachrach : Dublin, 1844, p. 
409.) 


FIACRE. 


In the Retours (Kincardine, 95, 162) 
he appears as S. Musset or S. Muffot. 

In Stewart's Metrical Chron. of Scot- 
land, as Sanct Feacar and Fiancorus of 
Maldosens (vol. iii. 513). 

The most important place of the 
worship of this saint in Scotland is 
the parish of Nigg, anciently called 
S. Fiacer Church (0. S. A. vii. 211, 
213), on the opposite side of the river 
Dee from Aberdeen. Here an ancient 
burial-ground and well are still called 
S. Fithoc's, and the bay near which it 
Stands S. Ficker's Bay. That a French 
saint should be honoured on the east 
coast of Scotland is nothing strange, 
but that his original Irish appella- 
tion, with the honorific mo, should be 
applied to him, is indeed remarkable. 
Yet it is certain that in the seventeenth 
century his church was called S, Mus- 
sett's or S. Muffett's, which is the cor- 
ruption of Mofutack (Blaeu's Atlas), 
and he is none other than the Mofu- 
tacus of the Kalendar of Camerarius 
(p. 203. He is S. Futtach in the 
Dunkeld Litany.—(See V. D. A. p. 252, 
Gordon's Map of 1652.) We find him 
at Kirkpottie (?) in Dunbarny, in Perth- 
shire (O. S. A. viii. 404 ; N.S. A., Perth, 
810), and there is a chapel at the mouth 
of Glenfarg, in the parish of Dron, 
where is now the Mill of Pottie.—(N. S. 
A., Perth, 864.) 

We subjoin, from the Breviary of 
Meaux (Brev. Meld. pars estiv. Meldis, 
1834), the Lections in which the life of 
the saint is narrated.

I find the following :— 

Ad ultimam Dom. Aug. in Festo S. 
Fiacrii. Quidquid aliter dixerit auctor 
Historie Eccl. Meld. t.i. not. 30, non 
constat S. Fiacrio exstitisse sanctam 
sororem Syram nomine, que fuerit mo- 
nialis Faronis et deinde Cathalauni 
Abbatisse. De ea omnino siletur apud 
Gall. Christ. 

An interesting corroboration of the 
popularity of his shrine is afforded by 
the following notice of F. Augustus 
Hay. It would seem that his chapel 
was a special object of devotion to 
the Irishmen, with whom the French 
service, till the breaking out of the 


FIACRE. 


first French Revolution, was very po- 
pular In 1673 Charles IL directed 
Essex to recruit a regiment of foot in Ire- 
land for the service of France. They 
served under Turenne on the Rhine in 
the campaigns of 1673, 1674, and 1675, 
when the Palatinate was devastated. 
They fought against Montecuculi at 
Altenheim, under Count Hamilton, who 
fell near Saverne in 1676. After his 
death his regiment remained in the 
French service, till the waste of war and 
the want of recruits from Ireland obli- 
terated it from the military records of 
France. The well-known Irish Brigade 
was formed in 1689.—(O'Conor's Mili- 
tary History of the Irish Nation. Dublin, 
1845, pp. 87-96.) 

Father Hay says (Scotia Sacra, pp. 39, 
et seq.) —" I shall here insert some verses 
I met with there (his church near to 
Meaux), hanging on the walls, whilst I 
was sub-prior of Essoines, which is a 
monastery seated near to the brink of 
the river of Marne :—

(At end of third hymn, *Offerebat 
chorus Hibernorum, 1681.") 


The presence in the north of Scotland 
of the shrine of an Irish saint, whose 
labours were in France, suggests an 
allusion to that marvellous Irish Christian 
colonisation which is one of the most 
remarkable facts in the history of 
Christianity, and to which, till the pre- 
sent century, scanty justice has been 
done. The daughter church of Gaul, 
Treland soon returned to bless that 
nation from whom she had received the 
faith, and not that nation only, but all 
the west of Europe, from Iceland to 
Tarentum, felt its power. Combating 
Arianism in Lombardy, Paganism in 
England and Germany ; cultivating letters 
at the court of Charlemagne, and physi- 
cal science in the see of Salzburg; 
teaching Greek at Chiemsee, and copy- 
ing the precious manuscripts of anti- 
quity at Bobbio and Luxeuil—the Scot- 
tish clergy grasped the lamp of religion 
as it fell from the hands of the worn-out 


341 


Roman races ; and the austere sanctity 
of Irish monasticism (an austerity which, 
from existing rules, we know to have 
surpassed that of S. Benedict himself), 
asserted its footing in the different 
nations of the Continent, of which many 
of the patron. saints belong to this 
family. In the Vosges and the Jura 
we have S. Fridolin; at Luxueil.and 
Bobbio, S. Columbanus ; in Switzerland, 
S. Gall; at Salzburg, S. Virgilius ; in 
Thuringia, S. Kilian ; at Lucca, S. Frigi- 
dian; at Fiesole, S. Donatus; and at 
Taranto, S. Cataldus.—(See an article 
in the Christian Remembrancer, vol. 
xlii, on the Scots on the Continent in 
the early middle ages, by the Rev. A. 
W. Haddan, B.D., Hon. Can. of Wor- 
cester, Rector of Barton, and late Fellow 
of Trin. Col. Oxford.) 


FILLAN, or FAELAN. June 20.— 
Faolan, the Stammerer (or the Leper), 
of Rath Erran, in Alba, and of Cill-Fhae- 
lain, in Laoighis, in Leinster, of the race 
of Aenghus, son of Nadfraech, i. e. King of 
Munster (Mart. Donegal); Faelani Am- 
labair i Graith Eret in Albaen (Mart. 
Tallaght). He was a disciple of S. 
Ailbe, who, wishing to go to Tyle 
(Thule), sent out instead. twenty-two 
disciples, one of whom was Faolan of 
Ratherran.  Ratherran is Dundurn, in 
the parish of Comrie, near which is the 
village of S. Fillans. 

The church of Aberdour in Fife was 
dedicated to him.—(Regist. Honoris de 
Morton, ii. 174.) 


FILLAN, A. January 9.—A saint as- 
sociated with so great a military event in 


342 


the history of Scotland as the battle of 
Bannockburn must excite an interest 
beyond that occasioned by the facts of 
his life. And to this may be added the 
circumstance that the belief in his power 
continued to exist till the beginning of 
this century, many mad persons being 
dipped in his pool at Killin, in the firm 
faith that thereby they should be cured. 
The antiquary also, and student of art, 
will be anxious to know something of an 
ancient abbot whose pastoral staff and 
bell are still in existence—the latter 
exhibiting a symbol which connects the 
Scoto-Irish Church with one of the most 
singular manifestations of the heathen 
nature-worship. 

His name is variously spelt. The 
Martyrology of Aberdeen and the Ka- 
lendar of the Breviary of Aberdeen call 
him Felanus; the Sanctorale of the 
same, Foelanus ; Aingus, Faelan ; Tal- 
laght, Faelan; Drummond, Felanus ; 
Donegal, Faelan ; Colgan, Foilanus ; Ca- 
merarius, Fillanus or Filanus; Dempster, 
Filanus ; King, Filane; The Retours of 
the seventeenth century, Phillane ; 
some charters, Fulanus. 

The particulars of this saint’s life, as 
recorded in the Breviary of Aberdeen, 
are these :— 

“ Faelanus,sprung from a noble family 
of the Scoti, had for father Feriach, 
and for mother Kentigerna, the most de- 
vout of women. He was born,as had been 
prophesied of him, with a stone in his 
mouth, which caused his father to have 
such contempt for him as to cause him 
to be cast into a neighbouring lake or 
pool. He was there for a whole year, 
during which time he was sustained by 


FILLAN. 


angels, the ministers of God. After the 
year elapsed, he was found, through a 
divine revelation, by the Bishop Ybarus, 
playing with angels. He lifted him 
safely out of the lake, and, taking him 
to himself, baptized him and instructed 
him in the knowledge of God. 

* But when his youthful years had 
been thus passed, he betook himself 
to the most devout Abbot Mundus, 
from whom he received the monastic 
rule and habit. In this monastery, that 
he might more easily labour in divine 
contemplation, he secretly constructed 
a cell not far from the cloister, in which, 
on a certain night, while the brethren 
of the monastery announced by a little 
servant that supper was ready, the 
servant kneeling and peeping through a 
chink in that cell to see what was tak- 
ing place, saw the blessed Faelanus 
writing in the dark, with his left hand 
affording a clear light to his right hand. 
The servant, wondering at this occur- 
rence, straightway returned to the 
brethren and told it. 

“But blessed Faelanus having had 
this made known to him supernaturally, 
and being angry with the servant that 
had revealed his secret, by divine per- 
mission a certain crane, which was 
domesticated in the monastery, pecked 
out the eye of the servant and blinded 
him; but the blessed Faelanus, moved 
with compassion, and at the instance 
and supplication of the brotherhood, 
straightway restored the eye of the 
servant. 

“Meanwhile the fame of Faelanus 
spread on all sides, and the blessed 
Father Mundus having died, by the 


FILLAN. 


unánimous consent of the brotherhood 
the blessed Faelanus, though reluctant, 
was elected abbot, when, on the govern- 
ment being handed to him, he, by his 
virtues and good example, ruled wisely, 
and instructed and informed his brethren 
in all holiness, chastity, and humility. 
He regarded also those who believed in 
Christ as his dear and special friends, 
and treated them in the love of God 
and in charity—above all things, with 
hospitality. . 

“ But, having left his holy mother 
Kentigerna, in obedience to the message 
of an angel, he betook himself to his uncle 
Conganus, a most saintly man, at a place 
which is called Siracht, in the upper 
parts of Glendeochquhy, in which place 
the situation for building a basilica was 
divinely pointed out to him, with his 
seven serving clerics Remaining there 
a little while, he completely drove away, 
with his little dog, a most ferocious 
boar which had devastated the district ; 
and he also converted to the faith of 
Christ many of the people of that place 
from the errors of Gentilism and idolatry. 

“While he was building the church 
in the place which God had shown him, 
when the oxen were unyoked from the 
wains, a hungry and fierce wolf slew and 
ate one of them ; and in the morning, 
when he had got no ox to take the 
place of that which was slain, on pour- 
ing forth prayer to God the same wolf 
returned as a servant and submitted 
himself to the yoke with the oxen, and 
continued to do so till the completion of 
the church aforesaid, when he returned 
to his own nature, doing hurt to no one. 
But the blessed Faelanus, after many 


343 


and various miraculous works, full of 
happy days, migrated to Christ. on the 
Fifth of the Ides of January, and is said 
to have been honourably buried in the 
said church, which is in Straphillane, 
and there he reposes,”—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. f. xxvi. a, xxvii.) 

Colgan (Acta SS. Hib. p. 49) places 
the age of S. Fillan at the beginning of 
the eighth century—not in the middle of 
the seventh, as Camerarius maintains. 
He places Cerate, the desert of Sirach, in 
Glenderchy (as the Siracht of Glen- 
deochquhy of the Aberdeen Breviary is 
called by that late author), at Glean- 
dorche in Ulster, on the confines of 
Tyrone and Fermanagh. 

Camerarius places Glenderchy in 
Fife, and associates the saint with Pit- 
tenweem. 

Colgan (Acta SS. Hib, p. 104) gives 
nineteen saints of this name, one of 
whom was a celebrated Continental 
martyr, the brother of S. Fursey of 
Peronne, and of S. Ultan, whose acts are 
to be found in Capgrave's Nova Le- 
genda, fol exlix, and in Colgan, Acta 
SS. Hib. p. 99, and who was killed at 
Hainault in AD. 655.—-(See next 
entry.) But the Scottish saint of 
this name must be either the saint 
whose commemoration is found both 
in the Scottish and Irish Kalendars 
on the 9th of January, or a saint 
whose day is on the 20th June, “ Faolan 
the Stammerer, of Rath-Erran in Alba ; 
and of Cill-Fhaelain in Laoighis in 
Leinster, of the race of Aenghus, son of 
Nadfraech,” 4e King of Munster. 
(Martyrology of Donegal, p. 175.) Col- 
gan calls him “Leprosus.” The original 


344 


is Amlobar. Probably it is the first of 
these saints. According to Colgan (Acta 
SS. Hib. pp. 49, 50), the oldest record 
of him is in the Martyrology of ZEngus 
the Culdee. His name occurs in that 
of Tallaght, of Marian Gorman, in the 
Kalendar of Cashel, and in that of 
Cathal Maguire; the Martyrology of 
Donegal epitomises all that was recol- 
lected of him in Ireland in the seven- 
teenth century — * Faelan of Cluain- 
Maosgna in Feara-tulach,” We have to 
apply to the Scottish authority of the 
Breviary of Aberdeen for any details con- 
cerning him ; and the life of his mother, 
Kentigerna of Inch Caillach, in Lochlom- 
ond, further supplements our knowledge. 

Briefly, then, this saint (commemo- 
rated in the Irish and Scottish Kalen- 
dars, on the 9th January) was the son 
of Feradach or Feriath, a nobleman 
probably of the race of Fiatach Finn, by 
Kentigerna or Quentigerna, Caentigern 
or Coentigern, daughter of Kellach 
Cualann, king of Leinster, and sister of 
S. Congan of Turriff and Lochalsh. See 
KrNrIGERNA. S. Fillan’s epoch is 
determined by the dates of his mother 
and maternal grandfather, who died 
respectively in A.D. 734 and A.D. 715, 
by the fact of his being educated by 
S. Ibar, and by his receiving the 
monastic habit from S. Munna, the 
saint who is known in Ireland as $. 
Fintan-Munna MacTulcain, who died in 
635, and whose name is preserved in 
Kilmun, on the Holy Loch in Argyle- 
shire. See MuNDUS. We therefore must 
reject Camerarius's date of 649, and 
place him a little after the commence- 
ment of the eighth century. 


FILLAN. 


We cannot determine in what 
monastery of S. Munnu S. Fillan was 
trained. Dr. Lanigan throws discredit 
on the accounts that give him any other 
monastery than Taghmun, in the county. 
of Wexford. He is called S. Munnu of 
Kilmund and Dissert, in the Breviary of 
Aberdeen. If the Dissert be the Desert 
of S. Serf, now Dysart, we may under- 
stand how S. Fillan's name should be 
preserved in the nomenclature of his 
cave, a little farther eastward in Fife, at 
Pittenweem ; but the chief scene of his 
labours was in the uplands of Perth- 
shire, in the parishes of Glendochart 
and Killin. There we find a river and 
a strath called after him, and a church 
dedicated to him. There is a Kill- 
allan in Renfrewshire (Reeves’ Adam- 
nan, p. lxxiv.), and a place of worship 
dedicated to him at the chapel-yard, 
parish of Largs (Orig. Par. vol. i. p. 89). 

Again, we find traces of S. Fillan 
farther north. In the life of his uncle, 
S. Congan, in the Breviary of Aberdeen, 
it is said that he fled from Ireland to 
Lochalsh, in northern Argyle,—a de- 
scription of the locality which incident- 
ally proves the antiquity of the authority 
from which the narrative is taken, for 
it was afterwards termed Ross-shire, on 
the occasion of Alexander II. granting 
it to the Earl of Ross. There; S. 
Filan built a church to the honour of 
his uncle; and in fact, at the present 
day, Kilkoan and Killellan, the churches 
of Congan and Fillan, bear testimony 
to the truth of the legend. 

The proximity to Pittenweem, where 
the saint's cave, already alluded to, is 
shown, would account for S. Phillans 


FILLAN. 


being the alternative name of the parish 
of Forgan in Fife, though the parish 
church had an after-dedication to S. 
Andrew, as we see by a confirmatio, of 
Pope Adrian IV. given in the Registrum 
Prioratus S. Andree, p. 51. 

The estimation in which S. Fillan 
.was held in Scotland was greatly en- 
hanced by the part he was supposed to 
have taken in the victory of Bannock- 
burn. Boece gives the legend in Latin, 
and it is thus translated by Bellenden :— 

* All the nicht afore the batall, K. 
Robert was right wery, havand gret 
solicitude for the weil of his army, and 
micht tak na rest, bot rolland all jeoper- 
deis and chance of fortoun in his mind ; 
and sum times he went to his devoit 
contemplatioun, makand his orisoun to 
God and Sanct Phillane, quhais arme, as 
he belevit, set in silver, wes closit in 
ane cais within his palyeon; traisting 
the better fortoun to follow be the samin. 
In the mene time, the cais chakkit to 
suddanlie, but ony motion or werk of 
mortall creaturis. The preist astonist be 
this wounder went to the alter quhare the 
cais lay ; and quhen he fand the arme 
in the cais, he cryit, ‘ Heir is ane gret 
mirakle ; and incontinent he confessit, 
how he brocht the tume cais in the 
feild dredaned that the rillik suld be 
tint in the feild, quhair sa gret jeoper- 
deis apperit. The king rejosing of this 
mirakill, past the remanent nicht in his 
prayaris with gud esperance of victorie.” 
—(Bellenden’s Boece, vol ii p. 391. 
Ed. 1821.) 

It was to the “merakle of Sant Phil- 
lane” that the king alluded in his speech 
before the battle, after that Mauritius, 


345 


Abbot of Inchaffray (the Insula Mis- 
sarum in Stratherne) had “said masse 
on ane hie mote, and ministret the 
Eucharist to the king and his nobillis." 
If S. Fillan be the Faolan of Ratherran, 
we here see a reason for this particular 
relic being brought into the camp ; and 
it wil be recollected that Killin, the 
special seat of the cultus of the saint, 
was a church under the jurisdiction of 
Inchaffray. 

A relic of S. Fillan still exists—viz. 
the Coygerach or pastoral staff of the 
saint, which has been preserved to this 
day. There is a curious account of an 
inquest as to its custody in the third 
volume of the Spalding Club Miscellany, 
pref. p. xxi. and p. 237. See also Pro- 
ceedings Soc. Antiq. Scot. vol. iii page 
233, and plate xxvi, for a description 
and figure of the crosier. 

The ancient bell of this saint is still 
preserved, and is now in the Museum of 
the Antiquarian Society in Edinburgh. 
It is also described and delineated in 
their Proceedings. 

“There is in Strathfillan the ruins of 
a building 120 feet long, and 22 broad, 
which is said to have been a cathedral. 
Part of the walls are still standing." “At 
Strathfillan there is a deep pool called 
the Holy Pool, where in old times they 
were wont to dip insane people. The 
ceremony was performed after sunset 
on the lst day of the quarter os, 
and before sunrise next morning. The 
dipped persons were instructed to take 
three stones from the bottom of the 
pool, and walking three times round 
each of the three cairns on the bank, 
throw a stone into each. They were 


2v 


346 


next conveyed to the ruin of S. Fillan's 
Chapel and in a corner called S. Fil- 
lan's bed, they were laid on their back, 
and left. tied all night. If next morn- 
ing they were found loose, the cure was 
deemed perfect. S. Fillan's bell still 
exists, and at the mill of Killin, there 
was long kept a stone called Fillan's 
chair, and seven small stones that had 
been consecrated by the saint, and en- 
dowed with the power of curing diseases. 
Five of them are still preserved."—(N. S. 
A., Perth, p. 1088.) The family of 
M'Nabs are the descendants of the 
hereditary abbot of Glendochart, among 
whom Fillan was much used as a Chris- 
tian name. The Old Statistical Account 
says that after the insane people re- 
mained all night in the chapel bound 
with ropes, the bell was set on their 
head with great solemnity. It was the 
common opinion that, if stolen, it would 
extricate itself out of the thief’s hands 
and return home.—(O. S. A. xviii p. 
378.) 

Dempster assigns him a monastery in 
Knapdale in which S. Cataldus was 
buried.—(Hist. Eccles. Scot. lib. iii. num. 
278.) The Felire of Aingus gives us— 

Faelan deoda digrais 

(Gloss) i. do gres no ro mait. 
[Faelan the godly and stedfast, 
ze. constant or very good.] 

In the lands of Skelmorlie or Cunning- 
ham, and parish of Largs, are the “ terre 
de Saint Fillain's Well.”—(Retours, Ayr, 
258.) 

In the Retours (Perth, 97), we have 
* advocatio capellanie de Sanct Phillane, 
infra castrum de Down et capellanize 
Sancti Phillane extra idem castrum 


FILLAN. 


situate super littus aque de Teith.” 
Besides Strathfillan, Strowan has a fair 
called Feile Fhaolain. 

In Wigtown we have a Kilphillane. 
—(Retours, Wigtown, 37.) 


FILLAN or FOILLANUS, M. 
October 31, A.D. 655.—The life of S. 
Congan (Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol. 
exxvi) states that that saint, with his 
sister Kentigerna, and her three sons, 
Felan, Fursey, and Ultan, left Ireland 
for Lochelch. That of S. Fillan (Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol. xxvi. a) says that 
he was the son of Feriach and Ken- 
tigerna, but does not allude to his 
brethren. "Thatof S. Kentigerna (Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol xxv.) gives no 
indieation that she had any other son 
than Felan. 

It would seem, therefore, that there is 
aconfusion. The Felan who was brother 
of Fursey and Ultan imitated them in 
adopting the monastic life, first at 
Cnobersburg, where he became ab- 
bot. Then he went abroad to Ni- 
velle in Brabant, where S. Gertrude 
governed a great abbey, founded by her 
parents, Pepin and Ituberga. On the 
death of Ita, Gertrude bestowed the lands 
of Fosse upon Ultan, to found an abbey, 
and detained Felan at Nivelle to con- 
fess the nuns, and to instruct the 
people. Going one day to visit his 
brother at Fosse, he was set upon by 
certain satellites of the devil, and with 
three companions beheaded. His mar- 
tyrdom was revealed to S. Gertrude, 
and special honour was done to his 
remains by Grimoald, Maire du Palais, 
and by Dido, Bishop of Poictiers. 


FINAN—FINDCHANUS. 


FINAN or FINIAN, B. March 18, 
AD. cir. 575.—In the Irish Kalendars 
at March 16, we find Fionan the Leper 
of Sord and Cluain-mor in Leinster, and 
of Ard Fionain, in Munster. He was 
of the race of Tadhg, son of Cian, son of 
Oilioll Oluim (Mart. Donegal).— See 
Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 279. 

The Bollandists, at March 16th 
(Acta SS. Mart. tom. ii. p. 439) give 
an ancient life of him, communicated 
by Henry Fitzsimon. The saint was 
born in Ireland, educated by a senior 
named Brendan, and consecrated by 
Bishop Fathlad.  Desirous of mar- 
tyrdom, he took upon himself the 
leprosy of a child who came to him to 
be cured, and was covered with worms, 
whom he called “his fellow-citizens.” 
He was forbidden by S. Columba to go 
to Rome, and on pleading a vow, was 
told to place his head on that saint’s 
knee. ,. Straightway he slept, and on 
awaking, he described the different 
localities of Rome. After many mir- 
acles he slept in peace.—(See also Col- 
gan, A. SS. Hib.p. 627.) He is of Kil- 
linan, otherwise Kilfynan and S. Finani 
Ecclesia (Regist. de Passelet. pp. 113, 
131, 226), and of Elan Finan, where his 
fair was held next day to S. Patrick's 
Day (Orig. Par. ii. 198); Mochrum (N. 
S. A. Wigton, p. 61), and Abersnetheck 
in Monymusk (V. D. A. p. 585), and 
Migvie (ibid. p. 632) are his churches. 
Agnes, Countess of Mar, granted the 
Ecclesia S. Finnani de Miggeveth to 
the Prior and canons of S. Andrews. 
—(Regist. Priorat. S. And. p. 249.) 
“In the beginning of the last century 
Finzean's fair, at the Kirk of Migvie, 


347 


was kept whiles in March, and whiles 
in April, on the Tuesday before Midlen- 
tron fair at Banchrie."—(Aberdeen's new 
prognostication for the year 1703, quoted 
in Antiqq. of Aberdeen and Banff, ii. 
xlvi) There is a S. Finzean’s fair at 
Perth. The name of the church of 
Lumphanan, where Macbeth is believed 
to have been killed, though stated to be 
dedicated to S. Vincent, whose day is 
22d January (V. D. A. p. 635), is more 
probably dedicated to S. Finian. In the 
Dunkeld Litany he is addressed as Fin- 
nanach. 


FINBAR. Se BARR. 


FINCANA, August 21.—S. Fincana 
was one of the virgin daughters of S. 
Donevald, of the Den of Ogilvy.— 
(Boethii Scot. Hist. f. 168, ed. 1575.) 
See DONEVALDUS. 


FINCANA IL October 13.—* Echt 
church is dedicated to S. Fincan, virgin 
in Scotland. She flourished in the be- 
ginning of the sixth age, and her feast 
was kept on the 13th of October. She 
must be different then from that S. 
Fincan (daughter of S. Donevald), who 
lived in the beginning of the eighth 
century, and whose feast is placed by 
Camerarius on the 21st of August.”— 
(V. D. A. 636.) In spite of the autho- 
rity of this careful antiquarian, it is most 
likely that there was only one S. Fin- 
cana. There is a S. Finsech this day

FINDCHANUS. March 11. — S. 


348 


Findchanus, whose sufferings from the 
loss of his hand are recorded in the 
Martyrologies, “ fuit in angustiis sive cru- 
ciatibus diuturnis, is known to us 
(Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 66) by the part 
which he took in the sacrilegious ordina- 
tion of the sanguinary Aedh Dubh, son of 
Suibhne, and chief of the Dalaraidhe 
(588), who murdered King Diarmait 
Mac Cerbaill, who had attained to the 
sovereignty of Ireland in 544, and 
reigned twenty-one years. Findchan 
brought a bishop from the Picts to 
perform the necessary rite, who only 
consecrated on Findchan sharing the 
responsibility by laying his hand on the 
man to be ordained. S. Columba pro- 
phesied that Findchan should lose his 
hand, and that Aedh should die a 
violent death. Findchan spent his 
days in austerities, and is numbered 
among the saints —(Colgan, Acta SS. 
Hib. p. 584; Reeves Adamnan, p. 
68.) 

In the epigraph of the chapter in 
Adamnan (1. i. c. 36) he is called * illius 
monasterii fundator quod Scotice Art- 
chain nuncupatur in Ethicá terra.” 

Kilfinnichen in Mull takes its name 
from this saint. S. Finnichen's chair is 
just above the church.—(N. S. A., Argyle, 
296.) 


FINLAGAN.—In the parish of Kil- 
arrow and Kilmeny, in Islay, on an island 
in Lochfinlagan, are the ruins of a small 
chapel dedicated to S. Finlagan.— 
(Stuart’s Sculptured Stones, vol ii. p. 
24; Orig. Par. ii p. 261; Reeves’ 
Adamnan, p. 136, note.) 

There are four saints of the name of 


FINLAGAN—FINNAN. 


Finnlugh in the Irish Kalendars.—(See 
Colgan's Acta SS. Hib. p. 12.) 


FINNAN,B. February 17, A.D. 662. 
—The lection in the Aberdeen Breviary 
at this day (pars hyem. fol. lv.a) supplies 
us with an account of S. Finnan, which 


cannot be traced to any earlier source. 


It is noteworthy, not only on this 
ground, but because it exhibits the 
manner in which at this time episcopal 
elections took place. It runs as fol- 
lows :— 

* About the year after the child- 
bearing of the Virgin 650, there was a 
man of venerable life, a bishop of great 
sanctity, an eloquent teacher of the 
infidel races, Finnan by name, said to 
have sprung from the race of the Scots, 
and in a noble family, remarkable for 
his training in virtue and liberal educa- 
tion. 

* He was so devoted to study, with 
little, nay, almost no admonition on the 
part of his teachers, and so strove to 
make himself a most learned man, as 
to give the promise of high promo- 
tion ; wherefore the people declared with 
one consent that this man of God was 
worthy of the episcopate, and they fre- 
quently predicted what his future would 
be. 

“ But while he surpassed all his equals 
in every manner of knowledge, as well as 
incircumspection and prudence, he chiefly 
gave himself up to good works, and 
exhibited a most apt example of virtue, 
being most obedient to his betters, a 
very slave to his equals, and the lowly 
companion of those who were beneath 
him. 


FINNAN—FINTAN-MUNNU. 


“ After these things, blessed Finnanus 
occupied himself above all things in 
imbuing his mind with the divine law, 
and, in the practice of divine contempla- 
tion, despising the other delights of the 
world. With all patience, humility, and 
subjection, he betook himself to teachers 
and holy men, well instructed in the 
Christian faith; and what he learnt 
from them by the help of God he com- 
mitted to memory, and commended to 
others in his preaching. 

“For at that time the most holy man, 
Aydanus, Bishop of the Northumbri, 
among the Angles, having happily 
finished his life when he was said to have 
reigned over that church seventeen years, 
a meeting of the clergy and people 
of both sexes having been held, they 
unanimously elected Saint Finnanus, 
who was of the race and name of the 
Scoti, to be Bishop of Lindisfern. 

* After his consecration, he won back 
the people from idolatry, and baptized 
Pende (really Peada), the king of the 
Mediterreni Angli, with all his subjects. 
He was bishop ten years, and yielded 
up his spirit on the thirteenth of the 
kalends of March.” 

We obtain from Beda some addi- 
tional facts concerning him. He states 
that he came from the monastery 
of Hy (H. E. lib. ii c. xvii); that 
he baptized King Peada, with all 
his earls and soldiers, at Admurum or 
Walton; that he consecrated Diuma 
(c. xxi); that he received Sigbercht 
and the East Saxons into the Church 
(c. xxii) and placed Cedd as bishop 
over them (ibid); that the church 
he built in Lindisfarne was after 


349 


the manner of the Scots, not of stone, 
but of hewn oak, covered with reeds ; 
that, in spite of Ronan’s arguments, 
being of a hot and violent temper, he 
opposed the Catholic Easter (c. xxv.)

FINTAN, C. February 17.—The 
Kalendar of Adam King, on the 17th of 
February, gives S. Fintan, who in the 
Drummond Martyrology is assigned to 
this day along with S. Cormac. “ Apud 
Hiberniam saneti Confessores Cormac 
et Fintan ad Christum perrexerunt." 
He was the son of Gaibhreine, son of 
Corcran, son of Eochaidh, Abbot of 
Cluain-Eidhneach, in Laoighis. He is 
of the race of Eochaidh Finnfuathairt, of 
whom was Brigida. He is described as 
Fintan the generous, chief head of the 
monks of Ireland, and resembling S. 
Benedict in his manners and life. He 
was celebrated for his abstinence.— 
(Mart. Donegal.) His acts are given in 
Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. pp. 349-357 ; 
see also Ussher, Works, vi. 504. /Engus

FLANNAN, C. December 18.—To 
the west of the island of Lewis, in the 
Atlantic, about twenty miles from the 
shore, are the Eileanan Flannain, on the 
largest of which, Eilean Mor, is the Team- 
pull Beannachadh, or chapel of S. Flan- 
nan. Martin (Western Isles, p. 17) men- 
tions the superstitions with which the 
fowlers from the Lewis used to regard 
these islands, terming them honorifically 
* the country," and never visiting them 
but with prayers and ceremonies. Mac- 
farlane (MS. Geographical Collections, 
ii. 242), while he gives rightly the name 
of the island, calls the saint Flandan. 

There are several saints in the Irish 
martyrologies who bear this name, which 
means red, and was latinised as Floren- 
tius.—(Martyrol Donegal.) Mr. Muir 
(Characteristics of Architecture, p. 182) 
calls him the son of Conaing, Abbot of 
Cill-Mor-Diothraibh, but no such name 
occurs in the Martyrology of Donegal. 

According to the Martyrology of 
Donegal (p. 341), he really is Flannan, 
son of Toirdhelbhach, son of Cathal, son 
of Aedh Caemh, son of Conall, son of 
Eochaidh Baillderg. He was a confes- 
sor of Cill-Dalua in Dal gCais. He was 
of the race of Corbmac Cas, son of 
Oilioll Oluim.—(See Reeves’ Adamnan, 
Ixxiv.) He is patron saint of Killaloe, 
which is “Ecclesia Sancti Flannani de 
Cill da Lua.” 


FORMAN.—In the parish of Birnie, 
in Elgin, is the Cairn of Kilforman.—

FOTHADH I. June 4, A.D. 963.— 
* Fothadh, son of Bran, scribhnidh or 
scribe, and Bishop of the Isles of Alba, 
died.” — (Annals of Ireland, by the 
Four Masters, ii. 683 ; Reeves’ Culdees, 
p. 125.) *Fothach the Bishop went 
to his rest.”—(Skene, Chron. of Picts 
and Scots, p. 10.) He was banished 
from his see (S. Andrews?) by Indul- 
phus, and lived eight years afterwards. 
A case for the Book of the Gospels, 
caused to be made by him, was pre- 
served in the time of Fordun.—(Scoti- 
chron, vi 24, ed. Goodall, i. 339. See 
also Reeves’ Adamnan, pp. 365, 394.) 


FOTHADH II. February 3, 1093. 
—Fothadh, Archbishop of Alba, rested 
in Christ.—(Skene, Chron. of Picts and 
Scots, p. 370; Annals of Ulster, ad 
ann. 1093; Keith’s Scottish Bishops, p. 
7, ed. Russel.) He was the last bishop 
at S. Andrews of the old Celtic Church, 
and on his death, which took place the 
same year as that of Malcolm Ceanmore, 
we find (if we reject as doubtful the 
authority of the Scotichronicon as to the 
four bishops-elect — Gregory, Cathrey, 
Edmar, and Godric), King Alexander 
appointing Turgot, S. Margaret’s con- 
fessor and biographer to the newly-con- 
structed see. In his time the entire 
rights of the Culdees through all the 
land of Scotland passed into the hands 
of the bishops of St. Andrews.—(Robert- 
son, Scotland under her Early Kings, i. 
174; Reeves' Culdees, p. 128.) 


FOTINUS or POTHINUS. June 2, 
AD. 177.—The touching account of the 
martyrs of Vienne and Lyons preserved 


FRECAN—FUMAC. 351 


by Eusebius (H. E. v. 1-3) contains the 
history of S. Fotinus, Bishop of the 
latter city; and the Breviary of Aber- 
deen declares that the fame of the 
blessed saint, extending through the 
world, reached the north of Scot- 
land, and a basilica in his honour 
was erected within sight of the river 
Dee (Brev. Ab. pars hyem. ff. xxiiia, 
xxiv. This was at Torrie. The char- 
ter that erects that village into a burgh 
of barony, in 1495, sets forth the sin- 
gular devotion which James King of 
Scots had to the blessed martyr S. 
Thomas, and to S. Fotinus, patron of 
Torry.—(V. D. A. 255, 262; Regist. 
Nigr. de Aberbrothock, 292.) 

The church of Kirkpottie, anciently 
Potyn, referred to under S. Fiacre, was 
perhaps dedicated to him. 


FRECAN. November 20.—S. Fre- 
can, Bishop and Confessor, occurs in the 
Ferne Kalendar at this day, as a saint 
whose worship continued in the north in 
the fifteenth century. He is Fraechan, 
bishop of Bó-chluain, in Laoighis, to the 
east of Cluain Eidhneach, and of Inis-mac- 
Earca.—(Mart. Donegal, p. 315.) He is 
on the same day as Bishop Easconn, who 
appears in.the Scots Kalendar of King 
as MAXENTIA, q.v. 


FREFANOICH is invoked in the 
Litany of Dunkeld. 


FUMAC. May 3.—* Botriffnie or 
Fumac Kirk hath for its patron 8. 
Fumac, quhose wooden image is washed 
yearly, with much formality, by an old 
woman (quho keeps it) at his fair (on the 


third of May), in his own well here."— 
(MS. Account of Scottish Bishops in the 
Library at Slains, 1726.) 

“This image existed till the beginning 
of this century, when, being swept away 
by a flood of the Isla, it was stranded 
at Banff, and they yet live (1847) 
who remember to have seen the statue 
committed to the flames, as a monument 
of superstition, by the parish minister." 
— (Illustrations of the Antiqq. of the 
Shires of Aberdeen and Banff, vol. ii. p. 
253, note: Spalding Club.) 

The fate of the images used in the 
pre-Reformation Church of Scotland is 
involved in great obscurity. Under the 
life of S. Barr, we have seen that his 
Statue existed in the isle of Barra, in 
thelastcentury. A figure of the Blessed 
Virgin, formerly in a chapel on the 
Bridge of Don, and afterwards in the 
cathedral of Aberdeen, is now in Brussels.

la Trés Sainte Vierge Marie, honorée

tion of S. Giles in Edinburgh forms 
one of the most graphic scenes in the 
pages of Knox.—(Knox's History of the 
Reformation, ed. Laing, vol i. p. 258.) 
There is a statue of S. Mackessog, 
which formerly stood at Bandry, but 
it is now in the family burying- 
ground of Sir James Colquhoun, at 
Rossdhu.—(N. S. A., Dumbarton, 161.) 
An image of S. Bride was extemporised 
every 2d of February in the island of 
Colonsay, by a sheaf of oats being 
dressed up in woman's apparel, when the 
mistress of the house said three times,

Islands, p. 119.) One of the old al- 
manacks gives a S. Fumack’s fair at 
Dinet, in Caithness, and at Chapel of 
Dine, in Watten. 


FYMBERRUS. See Barr. 


FYNDOCA, V. October 13.—No 
life of this saint, who is associated with 
S. Fincana, is given in the Breviary 
of Aberdeen. The collect prays for 
chastity of body and mind, and a place 
with them in glory by their intercession. 
There is a note or rubric that Fyncana 
is venerated at Etht (Echt), in the dio- 
cese of Aberdeen, and Fyndoca at the 
archidiaconate of the diocese of Dun- 
blane. This is probably Findo-Gask. 
—(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. f. exxvi.a). 
Among the charters at Magdalen Col- 
lege, Oxford, is a deed, probably of 
the year 1218-9, in which Roger de 
Quincy grants all his demesne at Gase, 
with pasture for 24 oxen, 15 cows, and 
100 sheep, and 4 acres of meadow on 
the western side of the chapel of S. 
Fyndoca, towards the mill of Gase, 
to the Hospital at Brackley, for. the 
maintenance of three chaplains there. 
The Martyrology of Aberdeen states 
that both S. Fyncana and S. Fyndoca 
were venerated in the diocese of Dun- 
blane. At Bendochy, near Cupar Angus, 
there was anciently a chapel at S. 
Phink dedicated to that saint, a small 
part of the ruins of which still remains. 
—(N. S. A, Perth, 1188 ; O. S. A. xix. 
342, 359. In 1529, Archibald, Earl 
of Argyle, for the honour of God,

all saints, granted certain lands to 
Duncan Makcaus, becomingly to main- 
tain the chapel of S. Fyndoc, on the 
Island of Inchald, and cause one mass 
weekly to be celebrated.—(Orig. Par. ii. 
130.) Inishail, in the deanery of Lorn, 
seems to have been dedicated to S. Fyn- 
doc.—(Ibid.) 


FURSEY, A. January 16, A.D. 650. 
—The reputation of S. Fursey extends 
far beyond the limits of the Scoto-Irish 
Church. Not only is he one of the 
most distinguished of those missionaries 
who left Erin to spread the gospel 
through the heathen and semi-heathenised 
races of medixval Europe, bridging the 
gap between the old and new civilisa- 
tions, but his position in view of dogma 
is a most important one. He has pro- 
foundly affected the eschatology of 
Christianity ; for the dream of S. Fur- 
seus and the vision of Drycthelm (Beda, 
H. E. 1. iii. c. 19, Lv. c. 12) contributed 
much to define the conceptions of men 
with regard to that mysterious region 
on which every man enters after death. 

The legend in the Breviary of Aber- 
deen runs thus :— 

“Furseius, that most devout abbot, 
derived his origin and birth from the 
most noble race of the Scoti, but he 
was much more noble in soul than in 
body. From the period of his very 
youth he gave no little attention to 
sound learning and monastic discipline, 
and, as eminently becomes the saints, he 
took care to perform all that he learned. 

“ As time went on he constructed for 
himself a monastery, in which he might 
more freely devote himself to heavenly 


FURSEY. 


studies, where, on being seized with an 
illness, as a little book of his life suffi- 
ciently shows, he was in a rapture taken 
out of the body, and in that condition, 
from vespers to cockcrow, was deemed 
meet to behold the sight of the Lord, 
and of the angels, and to hear their 
praises. 

“He was accustomed to say that he 
heard them crying one unto another, 
* They shall go from strength to strength ;’ 
and again, ‘The God of Gods shall be 
seen in Syon, He was restored to the 
body, and in the midday he was rapt 
again. Then he saw not only more joys 
of the blessed, but also great contests of 
malignant spirits, who, by frequent ac- 
cusation of the wicked, seek to impede 
the way of heaven. But they could not 
prevail against him, on account of the 
protection of the angels. Concerning 
all which things, if any one wish to 
know with what intensity of malice the 
demons cast up the sinner’s acts, his 
superfluous words, and even his thoughts, 
as if written in a book, also what plea- 
sant and sad things Furseius learnt from 
the angels, and from holy men appear- 
ing to him amongst the angels, let him 
read the above-mentioned little book 
of his life, and I think he will gather 
from it much spiritual profit."— (Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. f. xxxii.) 

It will be seen that this legend of 
the Breviary is abridged from the ac- 
count of the saint given by Beda (H. 
E. iii. 19), who supplies the rest of the 
authentic facts of the saint's life: viz. 
that he came from Ireland before 636, in 
the reign of the good Sigberct, king of the 
East Angles, that he founded a monas- 


353 


tery at Cnobheresburg or Burgh-Castle, 
that he left the care of the monastery 
to his brother Fullanus, and to the 
priests Gobbanus and Dicullus, and 
following the example of his other 
brother Ultan, betook himself to the 
anachoretic life, but finding the coun- 
try disturbed by the incursions of the 
heathen under Penda, he crossed to 
Gaul, where, honourably received by 
King Hlodvius and the patrician Ercun- 
valdus (observe the purely Saxon name 
in Gaul), he founded a religious house 
at Lagny-sur-Marne, where he seems to 
have died. Ercunvaldus took his body 
to Peronne, and kept it in the: porch of 
a church which he was building, and its 
continued state of incorruptness testified 
to the sanctity of Fursey. 

There are various lives of S. Fursey. 
Butler says that the ancient life given 
by the Bollandists is that from which 
Beda extracted the account of his 
visions. Capgrave (Legend. Nov. Ang. 
fol. lii) gives the same. Colgan also 
(Acta SS. Hib. pp. 75 and 282) gives 
narratives, but they are all evidently 
posterior to Beda. The Martyrology of 
Donegal, recording his life from autho- 
rities now lost, says, “He was of the 
Conaille Muirtheimhne (the maritime 
part of the county of Lowth), as in this 
quatrain :— 

The father of Fursa, a pure true saying, 

Was Lochin of Dal-Araidhe. 

The mother of this son 

Was Gelgéis, daughter of the king of 
Connacht.” 

There appear to have been two Fur- 
seys (see note of Dr. Todd to the Martyr- 
ology of Donegal, p. 18); for in the 
Annals of Ulster, at 649 (648), we have 


az 


354 


“Quies Fursei in Britannia” (Skene, 
Chron. of Picts and Scots, p. 348), and 
Britannia is constantly used for Scot- 
land in contradistinction to Ireland. 
Thus, in the Drummond Kalendar, S. 
Donan and S. Blane are assigned to it. 


GAIUS. March 4, a.p. 870.—Gaius 
or Gayus was one of the martyrs in the 
May.—(See ADRIAN, and Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. f. lxii) Near Lochleven, in 
Fife, are the “terre de Kylemagage."— 
(Retours, Fife, 173.) 


GANINIUS. March 4, a.p. 870.— 
He also is one of the martyrs of the 
May. Perhaps he may be the same as 
the preceding. 


GEDE. October 20.—Among the 
fairs in Strathnaver was one held * Die 
vigesimo Octobris lie Sanct Gedes fair

GELASIUS.—Gelasius the Deacon 
was one of the companions of S. Regulus. 
—(Skene, Chron. of Picts and Scots,

GERVADIUS or GERNADIUS, C. 
November 8, A.D. 934.—Gervadius, an 
Irishman, left his home, and coming to 
Scotland, to the province of Moray, 
associated with himself some fellow- 
soldiers of Christ at Kenedor, where he 
built a cell In that place he had a 
stone bed. During the wars between 
Scotland and England an English sol- 
dier asked the saint to pray God that 
his sins might be forgiven. The battle 
went against the English, and the

soldier's head was cut off. S. Gervadius 
sent his disciples to find the body, 
which was made known by a white 
bird resting on it, and à wolf peaceably 
brought the head. On another occa- 
sion, a wolf which had slain one of 
the saint's oxen, took its place, and 
finished the ploughing. A violent storm 
diverted a river into another stream, so 
as to bring down timber for the con- 
struction of his church.—(Brev. Aberd. 
p. estiv. f. exlviii) Boece, speaking of 
the days of Achaius, after chronicling the 
works of Paulus Diaconus and Usuar- 
dus (Isward, Bellenden), adds, * Among 
us, was in thay days, Gervadius, Glas- 
ciane, Modan, and Medane, great doc- 
tours and men of singulare erudition" 
(ed. 1821, vol. ii p. 142). Camerarius 
(p- 196) says that he withdrew to a cave 
not far from Elgin. “Gerardin’s cave, 
in Elgin charters denominated Holy- 
man Head, probably the abode of a 
hermit, was about twelve feet square. 
It was ornamented with a Gothic door 
and window, and commanded a long 
but solitary prospect of the eastern 
coast. The Gothic window and door 
were demolished about sixty years ago 
by a drunken sailor, and the whole cave 
has since been scooped out by quar- 
riers"—(N. S. A, Elgin, p. 149.) 
* 'There was a spring in the rock above 
the hermitage called S. Gerardin’s 
Well" (0.8. A. iv. 85). In Stewart's 
Metrical Chronicle of Scotland (vol. ii. 
p. 369) he is called Gervatius, Bishop 
of Moray. 

We have assigned to S. Gervadius 
the date 934, because the facts men- 
tioned in his legend plainly indicate 


GERVADIUS—GILBERTUS. 


the invasion of the north by Athel- 
stane. That monarch, in the reign of 
S. Constantine IIL, on the plea of a 
broken treaty, invaded Scotland by sea 
and by land, sent his fleet as far as 
Caithness, and penetrated with his land 
army as far as Dunfother (Dunnottar) 
and Wertermore (which has been in- 
geniously identified with Kirriemuir), 
thus occupying Strathmore and the How 
of the Mearns. It was probably an 
attack on the land by the fleet which 
supplies the events recorded. 

The real name of this saint was pro- 
bably Garnard or Garnat, a common 
name among the Picts.

GILBERTUS, B. and C. April 1, a.p. 
1245.—We have here the history of the 
last Scotsman, in the modern sense, who 
has been enrolled in the Kalendar of the 
Saints. The hagiological side of his 
history is given in the Breviary of Aber- 
deen, where his collect runs in these 
terms: “O God, who didst vouchsafe 
to distinguish the blessed bishop Gilbert 
by many healings of sick men, and by 
the gift of miracles, grant that by his 
intercession we may be delivered from 
the weaknesses of soul and body, and 
attain to that glory which Thou hast 
bestowed on him, through our Lord. 
Amen.” The legend states that in the 
north of Scocia, a man of noble family, 
but more noble on account of his faith 
in Christ and the purity of his life, by 
name Gilbert, lived in the reigns of 


355 


William and Alexander. After a good 
secular and religious education he be- 
came archdeacon of Moray. He was 
employed by the princes before men- 
tioned in that secular work. which so 
often fell to the portion of ecclesiastics 
in those ages ("in temporalibus et 
Spiritualibus ipsum pro singulis regum 
in boreali Scocie parte agendis et cas- 
trorum custodiendis edificandis et aliis 
edificiis pro utilitate regis et reipublice 
reparandis prefecerunt”). The enemies 
whom he made to himself in the dis- 
charge of his duties set fire to the 
books in which he kept an account of 
his intromissions, but miracle interfered, 
and the burnt accounts were restored. 
After a certain number of years, when 
Adam, Bishop of Caithness, had been 
barbarously murdered by his spiritual 
subjects, and King Alexander had pun- 
ished this sacrilege by the execution of 
the murderers to the fourth and fifth 
generations, Gilbert was assumed and 
consecrated in his stead, with the assent 
of all the clergy and laity—" omnium 
populi et cleri roboratus assensu." He 
ruled over his diocese more than twenty 
years. He restored speech to a dumb 
man by prayer and the sign of the cross. 
A certain person had hired the salmon- 
fishings from the lord of Caithness for 
à sum of money. Owing to the lack of 
fish, he had not wherewithal to pay his 
rent, and when the season arrived, that 
it might not pass without profit—^ ne 
tempus fatale salmonum cursus de 
proximo volveretur,” he earnestly be- 
sought blessed Gilbert to wash his 
holy hands in the water, and so attract 
the salmon, which accordingly took 


356 


place. After many other miracles, he 
departed on the Kalends of April, and 
rests in peace in the Cathanensian church 
built by his own hands.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. fol. 1xxxiii.) 

Such is the hagiographical aspect of 
S. Gilbert’s career. He was of the great 
family De Moravia, son of William, the 
Lord of Duffus and Strabrok, who was 
possessed of vast estates in the north, 
the gift of Hugh Freskyn. He reigned 
as Bishop of Caithness from 1223-1245, 
during which time he erected the cathe- 
dral at Dornoch, the statutes of which 
were modelled on those of Moray, which 
again were formed after the example of 
the church of Lincoln. There is no 
evidence that he was ever high chamber- 
lain of Scotland ; and the story of his 
distinguishing himself as the advocate 
of Scottish rights against the metro- 
political power of York, and the exag- 
gerated claim of suzerainty of England, 
at the Synod of Northampton in 1176, 
as narrated by Fordun (Scotichron. 1. 
viii. c. 26, ed. Goodall, i. 476), and by 
Boece (Bellenden’s transl. ed. 1821, vol. 
i. p. 318), needs no refutation, inas- 
much as that event took place just forty- 
seven years before he was consecrated 
bishop. 

He became the patron saint of his 
diocese and cathedral. His relics con- 
tinued to be had in reverence till the 
eve of the Reformation.—(Orig. Par. ii. 
603.) They were used for swearing 
oaths on, so late as 1545.—(See Records 
of the Bishopric of Caithness, prefatory 
notice, by Prof. Cosmo Innes. Banna- 
tyne Miscellany, vol. iii. p. 9 ; Acta Sanct. 
Bolland. April, t. 1, p. 49.)* 


GILDAS—GLASCIANUS. 


GILDAS, or GILDASIUS. January 
29, A.D. 602.—Gildas, born at Alcluyd, 
was son of Caunus or Cau, otherwise 
termed Nau or Navus, king of the Middle 
Britons or Cumbrians. He went for 
education during seven years into Gaul. 
Then he was taught by S. Iltutus in 
Britannia or Wales. After leaving him, 
the saint went to Ireland, where he 
converted many to the faith. Advanced 
to the priesthood, he preached *in 
the northern parts of the island," pro- 
bably in Scotland ; hereturned toIreland, 
and visited Brittany, where he founded 
the abbey of Ruyse. He visited Rome, 
where he presented a bell to Pope 
Alexander. In England he lived on an 
island in the Severn, where he passed 
sleepless nights in prayer Then he 
went to Glastenia (Glastonbury), not 
far from which he founded a church, 
where he led an eremitic life, and then 
died in the odour of sanctity. He is 
called Albanicus, to distinguish him 
from the other saints of the name. 

He was born probably in 520, the year 
of the battle of Badon Hill—(See T. 
Innes, Civ. and Eccl. Hist. pp. 120-124 ; 
Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. pp. 177-180.) 


GLASCIANUS, B. January 30.— 
Of the life of the saint we have no 
details. The collect in the Breviary 
runs in these terms :— 

“Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty 
God, that we, who celebrate the anni- 
versary of blessed Glascianus, Thy con- 
fessor and bishop, may, by the inter- 
cession of his devout prayers, be deemed 
meet to attain to eternal joys, through 
our Lord.” 


E 


. GLODIANUS—GUIDO. 


He is known in the parish of King- 
lassie (or Kinglassin), near Kirkcaldy, of 
which frequent mention is made in the 
Register of Dunfermline.—(Bannatyne 
Club, pp. 56, 57, 59, 63, 64, 66, 81, 172, 
175, 207, 418.) “Some trace” the 
name “from a saint whose name was 
Glass, and point out a well of fine water 
called S. Glass’s well.” —(O. S. A. iv. p. 
501; N.S. A, Fife, 194.) 

The other name of the parish of 
Strachur—ie. Kilmaglas, or Kilmalosh, 
—points to a dedication to this saint in 
Argyleshire.—(Orig. Par. ii. 77.) 


GLODIANUS. March 4, av. 870. 
—One of the martyrs of the May. See 
ADRIAN, and Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. 
fol. 1xii. 


GODRIC, H. June 17, a.p. 1170.— 
S. Godrie, the Hermit, visited S. An- 
drews—^ Sanctum Andream in Scotiá 
orationis gratia devotus petivit."—(Mat- 
thew Paris, Historia Major, p. 113. Ed. 
Tiguri, 1589.) 

For notices of his frequent visits to 
Scotland, and of his life and miracles, 
see "Libellus de vita et miraculis S. 
Godrici Heremite de Finchale,” by Re- 
ginald, a monk of Durham ; printed for 
the Surtees Society, 1847. 


GORDIAN, or GORGHAM. —* The 
church of Manor stood on Newholm- 
hope, near the head of the glen, until 
the middle of the seventeenth century. 
It was known as S. Gordian's Kirk, or 
S. Gorgham's Chapel, from its dedica- 
tion either to S. Gordian, who was be- 
headed at Rome, under Julian the 
Apostate, about the year 362, or to S. 


357 


Gorgon, a eunuch of the imperial palace, 
who was martyred under Diocletian. 
The feast of SS. Gordian and Epimachus 
was kept by the Scottish Church on the 
10th May ; S. Gorgon's on the 9th Sep- 
tember.”—(Orig. Par. i. 239. 0.8. A. 
vol. iii. 387 ; N. S. A, Peebles, 116.) 


GREG. See CvRICUS. 


GRILLAN. — Grillan, or Greallan, 
was one of the twelve disciples and 
relatives of S. Columcille. — (Reeves' 
Adamnan, p. 246.) 


GUDAL.—A Saint Gudal was in- 
voked at Dunkeld as “sanctus confessor 
et monachus." 


GUENALT.—A saint of this name is 
invoked in the Dunkeld Litany. 


GUIDO. June 17, av. 1219.—On 
the feast of S. Botulph died Guido, first 
abbot of Lindores, which he built from 
the foundations, finished with every con- 
venience, and diligently ruled for nearly 
twenty-eight years. He left twenty-six 
monks fully instructed in their rule. Ex- 
horting the brethren to mutual charity, 
absolving them from their sins, himself 
absolved and blessed by the community, 
when in the act of addressing them he 
reclined his head on the hand of the 
brother who sat beside him, as if sleep- 
ing, and with cheerful countenance 
rested in the Lord—(Fordun, Scoti- 
chron., ed. Goodall, t. ii. p. 34.) 

Dempster says that in the church of 
Lindores his memory was celebrated on 
the feast of S. Botulph. 


358 


GUINOCHUS. April 13, aD. 838. 
—S. Guinoche, who appears in King’s 
Kalendar, is described by Camerarius, 
who, however, gives no authority, 
as the councillor of King Kenneth 
II. He was useful in influencing the 
views of the Scotch nobility in the king's 
resistance to the Picts. His prayers 
are represented as efficacious in securing 
for the king victory in seven skirmishes 
in one day ; and the Picts are described 
as being nearly exterminated by the just 
judgment of God for their support of 
the Romans under Maximus, for their 
alliance with the heathen Saxons, and 
their violation of the privileges of eccle- 
siastical men. S. Guinoche is honoured 
in Buchan, and the year assigned to him 
is A.D. 838, the fourth of the reign of 
King Kenneth.—(Camerarius, p. 130.) 
The author of The View of the Diocese 
of Aberdeen (p. 186), quoting Dempster, 
makes him Abbot of Deer, and of the 
thirteenth century. 


HARALDUS. av. 1228.— Haral- 
dus, called also Evaldus, Eraldus, and 
Elvadius, was the first bishop of Argyle, 
appointed by John of Dunkeld for his 
knowledge of the Irish tongue. He gives 
his name to Killespickerril in that dio- 
cese.—(Orig. Par. ii. 132 ; Keith, Scot- 
tish Bishops, p. 288, ed. Russel.) 


HEBREDUS.—There were in the 
days of Gregory the Great, 590, three 
men celebrated for piety, Hebredus, 
Dunstanus, and Convallus, whose memo- 
ries even to our days are greatly cherished 
by the Scots—(Lesleus, De Orig. Scot., 
p. 153, ed. 1578.) 


GUINOCHUS—HILARY. 


HELEN. August 18.—In the parish 
of Cockburnspath, anciently called Col- 
brandspath, “ part of the church still re- 
mains at Auld Cambus called S. Helen's 
Kirk. From the nature of the building, 


' and from other circumstances, it is sup- 


posed to have been erected some time 
in the seventh century."—(O. S. A. xiii. 
p.231. See also Chalmers’ Caledonia, 
vol. ii. p. 393.) 

She had a chapel in Berwick. There 
is a S. Helen’s Well at Maybole and at 
Melrose. 


HILARY. 4.354. January 19.— 
In the Felire of ZEngus the Culdee we 


have 
Elair, Abb. Pictabis. 
[Hilary, Abbot of Poitiers.] 


S. Hilary is the patron saint of Drum- 
blait, where we have Teller's Well (N. 
S. A., Aberdeen, 298), and in the parish 
of Fetlar and North Yell in Shetland 
there is S. Hillarys Kirk above Feal 
(N. S. A., Shetland, 25). 

A devotion to S. Hilary was the cha- 
racteristic of some of the earliest of the 
Scottish missionaries on the Continent. 
S. Fridolin, starting from Ireland, halted 
first at Poitiers, and thence, passing by 
the Moselle and Strasburg, founded 
churches dedicated to S. Hilary, first at 
Glarus, which still retains in its name 
the trace of his presence, and finally 
at Seckingen near Basle. A circle of 
churches in that neighbourhood, dedi- 
cated to S. Hilary, or to S. Fridolin 
himself, serves as proof of the reality of 
this history. Bishop Greith tells us 
that the text of S. Matthew used in S. 
Hilary’s Commentary on the Gospel 


HUCHON—INAN. 


agrees with that in the MS. Gospels 
preserved at S. Gall.—(Haddan's Scots 
on the Continent, Christian Remem- 
brancer, vol. xliii. p. 477.) 


HUCHON.—In a Perambulation of 
the lands of the Church of Aberchirder, 
called Yochry and Achbrady, we find 
the words * and sua descendand lynaly 
fra the quhyt stane to the strynd of 
Sanct Huchonys Well."—(Regist. Nigrum 
de Aberbrothock, p. 279.) This is pro- 
bably S. Hugh. 


HUGO. January 1, 1269.— Hugo, 
Prior of the May, died [in the year 
1269] a man of great sanctity and 
abstinence.—(Fordun, Scotichron. l x. 
c. 26, ed. Goodall, ii. 110.) 


HUMBALDUS or HUNBANDUS. 
A.D. 1169.—“ In the year 1169 Humbal- 
dus, prior of Wenlock, brought a con- 
vent to the monastery of Paisley, which 
had been founded a short time before 
by Walter, the son of Alan, Steward of 
Scotland.”—(Fordun, Scotichron. 1. viii. 
c. 13, ed. Goodall, i1 460; Chron. de 
Mailros, p. 81; Registrum de Passelet, 
pref. p. iii.) 


HUNNAND. —In 1538, Donald 
Campbell, Abbot of Cupar, leased the 
lands, fishing, forestry, and teinds of 
Campsie, to Alexander Macbroke, advo- 
cate, and specifies, among other burdens, 
* sufficient waxto S. Hunnand's lyght and 
chapel.”—(O. S. A. xiii p. 535.) No- 
thing is now known of its site.— 
(Jervise, Memorials of Angus, etc, p. 
407.) The name is probably one of the 
many variations of Adamnan. 


359 


IBAR, B. March 22.—Bishop Ibar 
from his earliest days gave indications 
of future sanctity, which were confirmed 
as he advanced in years. Made bishop, 
he rescued S. Fillan from the waters, as 
is detailed in his life, brought him up, 
and trained him to religion. When S. 
Ibar had preached the gospel in many 
places, he died in Teviotdale (Tifedalia). 
—(Camerarius, p. 118.) This saint must 
not be confounded with the celebrated 
S. Ibar of the 23d of May, who is be- 
lieved to have been a bishop, along with 
S. Declan and S. Ailbe, in Ireland, at 
the time of the arrival of S. Patrick, 
and who had a conflict as regards juris- 
dietion with him.—(Martyr. Donegal, 
p. 109; Todd's S. Patrick, pp. 214- 
220.) See FILLAN. 


INAN, C. August 18.—The Kalen- 
dar of Adam King gives us, at the 18th 
of August, S. Inan, confessor at Irvine 
in Scotland. This saint belongs to Ayr- 
shire. 

The N.S. A. (Ayr, p. 577) says “ Beith 
was the occasional residence of S. Inan, 
a confessor of some celebrity, whose 
principal place of abode was at Irvine. 
On the Cuff Hill, in the parish of Beith, 
there is a cleft in the rock which is called 
S. Inan’s Chair, and at a short dis- 
tance from it a well of excellent water 
called S. Inan’s Well. A fair called 
“Tenant's Day” is held on the day 
that corresponds with the 18th August 
old style." 

His churches are— 

l. Lamington (Orig. Par. i 173), 
where is S. Innian's Well. 

2. Southenan (N. S. A. Ayr, 253). 


360 


There is a charter of James IV. (20th 
June 1509), confirming a charter of 
John, Lord Sempill (5th June 1509), 
by which he endows a chaplain, “ mis- 
sas et divina in perpetuum, cum dis- 
positus fuerit, celebraturus in capellá Sti, 
Annandi per me zdificandá infra ceme- 
terium capelle ejusdem infra terras do- 
minicales de Suthenen." 

Probably this is a. S. Finan, the as- 
pirated F becoming mute. He may be 
the Wynnin of Kilwinning, or, again, 
Guinnoch of Lochwinnoch. 


IPHERNAN. See ETHERNAN. 
IRCHARD. See YRCHARDUS. 


IRNIE. — The fishermen call the 
steeple of Kilrenny church, one of their 
landmarks, by the name of S. Irnie. 
There is also S. Irnies Well The 
estate close to the church is called Irnie 
Hill.—(N. S. A., Fife, 970.) It is pro- 
bably a form of Ethernan. See RENNY. 


ITHARNAN. See ETHERNAN. 


JOHN or DUNKELD, B. July 13. 
AD. 1203.— John the Englishman, 
who divided the diocese of Argyll 
from that of Dunkeld, and afterwards 
became Bishop of S. Andrews, has 
ever been held in the highest rever- 
ence.—(Camerarius, p. 163.) In the 
end he retired to the Cistercian Ab- 
bey of Newbattle, and died in 1203. 
—(Fordun, Scotichron., lib. viii. c. 64, 
ed. Goodall, vol. i p. 518.) His life 
was written by William, Prior of New- 
battle, Abbot of Cupar, but is now lost. 


IPHERNAN—KANE. 


—(Grub, Eccl. Hist., vol. i. p. 362, and 
Scotichron., l. vi. c. 41, ed. Goodall, t. 
i p.358) The church of Kilmaveonag 
in Atholl is dedicated to him, where 
there is a fair called Feil Espog Eon, or 
the Fair of Bishop John. 


JUNANUS,C. December 2.—Came- 
rarius (p. 200) at this day quotes King 
for a saint of this name, as in reputation 
with Kenneth II. This is a phonetic 
form of Adamnan, q. v. 


JURANUS.—One of seven hermits 
from the island in the Tiber who accom- 
panied §. Regulus. — (Skene, Chron. 
of Picts and Scots, p. 187.) 


JUVIUS. September 16.—In the 
life of S. Edith, sister of King Edgar, 
987, a S. Juvius (perhaps the S. Iwivius 
or Ywius the disciple of S. Cuthbert) is 
mentioned, whose relies the Clerici 
Pictorum carried about in a chasse. 
When honourably received in the mon- 
astery of that sacred virgin in Win- 
chester they deposited it in her chapel. 
On attempting to lift it the weight was 
such that it could not be moved. The 
strangers wept and tore their hair, but 
at last, on the payment of two thousand 
solidi by the Abbess Wulftrude, they 
sorrowfully took their departure to their 
own homes.—(Pinkerton, Vite Antiq. 
Sanct. Scot. pref. x.) 


KANE. At Ardestie in Forfarshire 
is S. Kane’s Well.—(Jervise’s Land of 
the Lindsays, p. 306.) He appears to 
have given his name to Balmacaan in 
Glen Urquhart. 


KELAN—KENNOTHA. 


KELAN. See CALLEN. 


KELLACH, B.—He occurs in the 
Dunkeld Litany. He is probably the 
Bishop Kellach who emancipated the 
Church on the Collis Credulitatis at 
Scone in the reign of Constantine III. 
—(Skene, Chron. Picts and Scots, p. 9.) 


KENELM or KYNELIN. July 17. 
A.D. 819.—* At the Abbey of Winchel- 
comb, in Gloucestershire, the feast of S. 
Kenelm, King of the Mercians, treacher- 
ously murdered, A.D. 819."— (Memorials 
of British Piety, ad diem.) A provincial 
council was held at Perth on the festival 
of S. Kynelin the martyr in 1465.— 
(Robertson, Statuta Eccles. Scot., vol. i. 
pref. p. cxiii.) 


KENNERE, V. M. October 29.— 
The legend states that S. Kennera, the 
daughter of Aurelius and Florentia, 
who lived in the city Orchada, “in 
minore Orchada,” was invited by S. 
Ursula to join her in the pilgrimage to 
Rome, and by the protection of the 
King of the Rhine (Reni) was alone 
saved from the slaughter. Living in his 
palace, she made herself so beloved that 
the king gave up to her the management 
of his kingdom and of his family, which 
she governed with all wisdom and pru- 
dence. The queen, becoming jealous, 
tried in vain to poison his mind against 
the saint. Once, when she was carry- 
ing some bread to the poor, the queen 
told the king to see with his own eyes 
that Kennera was wasting his goods, 
but the loaves were miraculously turned 
into shavings.. A follower of the queen, 
learning her hatred of the saint, con- 


361 


spired against her life, and when the 
king was away hunting, strangling her 
with a towel buried her in a stable. 
The queen told her husband on his 
return that her relatives had carried her 
off; but the horses refused to enter the 
stable where the saint was laid, and 
burning lights in the form of a cross 
were seen over the place where she 
rested. Whereupon the body was found 
and taken up. Afterwards it was buried 
with great honour by S. Vuilbrordus.— 
(Brev. Aberd., pars estiv. f. cxxxiii.a.) 
Her church is Kirkinner in Galloway.— 
There was the “Ecclesia Sancte Ken- 
nere de Carnesmall in Galwidia."—. 
(Transcript of Charter to the Prior of 
Whithern, in the Earl of Haddington's 
Collection, Advocates’ Library.) At her 
church of Kirkinner in Wigtonshire are 
some sculptured crosses of early and pecu- 
liar character.—(Stuart’s Sculp. Stones 
of Scotland, vol. ii. pl. cxxii. and page 
68.) 

There are two Irish saints of this 
name — Cainner, daughter of Cruith- 
nechan, at Killeullen, in Kildare (28th 
January, Colgan, Acta SS. Hib., p. 174), 
and Cainder, daughter of Caelan of Rinn- 
hAllaid (November 5, Mart. Donegal, 
p. 299). See “De S. Kennera virgine in.

KENTIGERN, or KENTEGERN. 
November 13. A.D. 603.—The greater 
fame of S. Columba, the apostle of the 
Scots, has tended in some degree to ob- 
scure that of S. Kentigern, who evange- 
lised the Strathclyde Britons. Yet it will 
be found that this great saint not only 
has left traces of an extraordinary moral 
influence on these, but has imprinted 
his memorials on the public history of 
the inhabitants of Cumberland and 
Wales. 

The period in which he lived was 
one fertile in the types of that peculiar 
sanctity which characterises the Celtic 
and British races. The contemporary 
of S. Columba in Dalriadic Scotia, of S. 
Servanus in Fib, and of S. Terrenanus in 
Maghcircin or Mearns, Kentigern was 
brought into close connection with the 
saints of Wales, who flourished in great 
abundance in the sixth century after 
Christ. For this was a century of 
energetic national life, and of religious 
and mental activity in Wales. It was 
the time of Arthur, who, divested of 
the mythical accretions of after times, 
appears in authentic history as a 
Christian prince who combated in twelve 
battles Octa, the son, and Ebessa, the 
nephew of Hengist, in their attempt 
to seize the country between Forth 
and Clyde. It was the epoch of S. 
David, S. Iltutus, S. Sampson, and S. 
Teilo, the Bishop of Llandaff. During 
this century, the celebrated College of 
Bangor-Iscoed, on the Dee, was founded 
by Dunawd Fawr, the * Dinoot Abbas” 
of Beda, —(H. E., 1. ii c. 2.) We shall 
presently see what institutions S. Ken- 
tigern himself added to the Principality. 


KENTIGERN. 


The greater popularity of S. Columba, 
among other reasons, arises from his 
good fortune in having such a biographer 
as S. Adamnan. S. Kentigern has not 
been quite so fortunate, especially in 
respect of the long interval which elapsed 
between his own time and that of the 
histories. Of these there are three :— 

1. A fragment by an anonymous 
monk, addressed to Herbert, Bishop of 
Glasgow, who flourished AD. 1147. 
1164. It is in the British Museum, 
Titus A, xix. fol. 76-80b, and is printed 
in the Registrum Episcopatus Glas- 
guensis, t. i pp.lxxvii-xxxvi | 

2. A complete life by Josceline of 
Furness, written probably in 1180, and 
addressed to Josceline, Bishop of Glas- 
gow, who reigned from 1175 to 1199. 
This Josceline was Abbot of the Cister- 
cian house of Melrose, and it is to him 
we owe.some parts of the cathedral of 
Glasgow, which was dedicated prid. Non. 
Juli 1197, in the twenty-fourth year 
of his episcopate. This life is in Pinker- 
ton’s Vite Antique SS. Scot., p. 195. 
It is stated to have been founded on 
an earlier Glasgow legend, and upon a 
document written in Irish. It exists 
in two MSS. :—1. Bibl. Cott. Vitell, C, 
viii. ; 2. Marsh’s Library, Dublin, V3, 
4, 16. 

3. A third life, by John of Tinmouth, 
based upon Josceline's, exists in the 
British Museum. It is given in Cap- 
grave, Nova Legenda Ang. p. 207; and 
in the Acta Sanctorum, Jan. t. i. pp. 97- 
103.—(See Haddan and Stubbs' Coun- 
cils and Ecclesiastical Documents re- 
lating to Great Britain and Ireland, Lon- 
don, 1869, vol. i. p. 157.) 


KENTIGERN. 


But while, from the circumstance of 
their recent date, none of these can 
compete in value with the biography by 
the Abbot of Hy, the most important 
of the three is a charming piece of 
medieval biography. Written by a 
Cistercian, and dedicated to a Cistercian, 
it breathes the spirit of S. Bernard. That 
religious order was then in thevery flower 
of its fresh energy, and we can hardly 
now estimate the power for good which 
it exercised through Western Europe. 

The manuscript in the British Museum, 
Cotton MSS. Vitellius, C, viii, is pro- 
bably of the thirteenth, perhaps of the 
twelfth century. It was copied by a 
scribe who knew Latin imperfectly, but 
it has been corrected almost contem- 
poraneously, though very clumsily. The 
MS. preserved in Primate Marsh’s 
Library in Dublin is more correct. It 
begins with a prologue to the forty-five 
chapters of which it consists, stating 
that, by the direction of the bishop to 
whom it was dedicated, he sought for a 
life of more authority, truth, and polish, 
than the already existing one, “quem 
vestra frequentat ecclesia,” the chief 
fault of which was that “in ipso nar- 
rationis frontispitio quoddam sanz doc- 
trins, et catholice fidei adversum, evi- 
dentius apparet." We may infer that 
the earlier life must have contained 
some of the Celtic peculiarities, which, 
in the eyes of a devout Cistercian, 
might seem “relatu perverso et a fide 
averso.” He also mentions another 
source whence he drew his information, 
“Codiculum alium, stilo Scottico dic- 
tatum, per totum solcecismis scatentem." 
He adds that he could nowhere find the 


363 


account of the translation of the saint, 
or of the miracles performed after his 
death. It may be gathered from this 
statement that Josceline states conscien- 
tiously only what he learns from the 
documents before him, but we may.ex- 
pect that matters that were thought by 
him “a fide aversa” have received a 
certain colouring ; and as these are, as we 
have said, probably cases where the old 
Celtic rites and customs differed from 
the developments of the twelfth century, 
we have much to deplore in the loss of 
actual facts caused by the unfortunate 
orthodoxy of the biographer. 

The grandfather of the saint is de- 
scribed as a king in Cumbria or Strath- 
clyde, by religion heathen ; his mother 
as a believer in Christianity, but not 
baptized. This probably represents 
the truth. There was a struggle at this 
time among the Britons between the two 
religions, waged with various success. 
The lady’s religion is described as fervid, 
but not according to knowledge, her great 
desire being that she should imitate the 
Blessed Virgin in her conception and 
child-bearing. After a time she was 
found with child, and could give no 
account how this came to pass. She 
utterly denied having given occasion to 
it by sin. Josceline here meets a popu- 
lar superstition that S. Kentigern was 
born of a virgin. He maintains that 
the conception was natural, but that she 
was as ignorant of its cause as Lot was. 
The other life of the saint asserts that 
she had a lover, Ewen, the son of Erwe- 
gende, of a noble race of Britons, but 
that neither by words nor gifts could he 
persuade her to marry him. 


364 


The Breviary of Aberdeen in so many 
words describes S. Kentigern as the son 
of King Eugenius (Eufurefi), king of 
Cumbria, and of Tenew, daughter of 
Loth, king of Laudonia. It accepts the 
legend of her being placed in a coracle 
and exposed to the waters, but makes 
no mention of her miraculous escapes, 
when she was, as a punishment for her 
supposed crime, according to the cus- 
tom of her tribe, cast down from the 
height called in Josceline Dunpelder, 
but in the other life Kepduff, now 
termed Dumpender Law, or Traprain 
Law, in the Lammermoors. — (See 
Parish of Whittingham, O. S. A. vol. 
ii. 349.) The legend here bears symp- 
toms of interpolation. The prayer to 
the Blessed Virgin, uttered by the in- 
nocent lady, bears distinct evidence of 
the hand of a disciple of S. Bernard. 
Miraculously preserved from destruction, 
she is now accused of witchcraft, and 
her father is urged by his heathen sub- 
jects to expose her in a boat—“ parvis- 
simo lembo de corio juxta morem Scot- 
torum confecto.” The other life declares 
that, placed in the boat at the mouth of 
the stream Aberlessic (“id est ostium 
foetoris,” on account of the multitudes of 
dying fish,—now Aberlady) and being 
conducted into the open sea beyond the 
Isle of. May, she was abandoned to the 
chances of the waves.—(Stuart's Char- 
ters of Isle of May, p. vii) She was 
drifted by the tide to a sandy place near 
Culenros, where S. Serf lived, taught, 
and prayed. On landing the pains of 
labour fell on her. Dragging herself to a 
place where some shepherds had lighted 
a fire she succeeded in rekindling it, 


KENTIGERN. 


and there brought forth her son; the 
Breviary adds, “with angels standing 
round her" A chapel was afterwards 
built over the spot where Kentigern was 
born, which was dedicated to him ; and 
the foundations of a fifteenth-century 
edifice may still be traced there. 

S. Servanus was saying his morning 
prayers, intent on divine contemplation, 
when suddenly he heard the heavenly 
host, and joining his lauds and those of 
his disciples with theirs sang * TeDomine 
laudamus." Meanwhile a shepherd found 
the young mother and her child, and 
after ministering warmth and food to 
them presented them to the saint. He 
greatly rejoiced in spirit, and in his 
native tongue exclaimed, “ Mochohe! 
mochohe!” which is, My dear! my 
dear! and added, “Blessed art thou 
that art come in the name of the Lord.” 
The other life preserves another account 
of his words in the native language. 
When news were brought to the saint 
of the birth of the child, he said, * 4 dia 
cur fir sin," quod sonat latine * O utinam 
sic esset." He adopted them as if they 
were his own, and called the mother 
Taneu, and the boy Kyentyern, “ quod 
interpretatur Capitalis Dominus." This 
is the Welsh form of his name, which 
was Oyndeyrn, from Cyn, capitalis— 
Teyrn, dominus; but in chapter 33 is 
given the Gaelic form, Kentyern, and 
interpreted differently, as coming from 
“ Ken, caput Latine, (ceann, Gaelic), Tyern 
Albanice, dominus Latine, (tighearn, Gae- 
lic)" The boy advanced rapidly, not only 
in secular education, but in the exercise of 
the holy virtues, for there were bestowed. 
upon him by the Father of Lights, from 


KENTIGERN. 


whom is every good and perfect gift, a 
docile heart, an apt intelligence, a tena- 
cious memory, and a beautiful voice. 
All these graces rendered him so pre- 
cious in the old man's eyes, that he was 
accustomed to call him, in his native 
tongue, “Munghu, the dear friend," 
(from the Welsh mwyn, mild, gentle, 
kind, and cu, in composition ghu, dear), 
by which name, to this day, the common 
folk invoke him in their necessities. 
Then follow some of thé miracles that 
happened at Culros, most of which are 
reproduced in the Lections of the Bre- 
viary of Aberdeen,—the resuscitation 
of S. Serf's pet redbreast, by prayer and 
the sign of the cross, the rekindling at a 
luminous branch the light of the church, 
maliciously extinguished by his enemies, 
and the restoration to life of the cook of 
the convent who had died—all which were 
called forth by the snares laid for him 
by his envious companions. These at 
last induced him to leave his home, after 
consulting the will of God by earnest 
prayer. 
Accordingly, coming down to the 
“ Frisicum litus,” he crossed the estuary of 
theForth. Here the sea, like the Red Sea, 
made a way for the saint, and the waters 
were heaped up on the right hand and 
the left. Josceline mistakes two unusual 
words—Mallena and Ledo, the flux and 
reflux of the tide—for proper names. He 
indicates the place of the crossing as near 
to that bridge which was by the natives 
called the Pons Servani. The two rivers 
which formerly flowed separately into 
the estuary, and by a miracle were 
united, and now flow in one stream, 
can only be the Teith and the Forth, 


365 


and the bridge cannot have been be- 
low the junction. No sooner had §. 
Kentigern crossed than the waters re- 
turned so as to overflow the bridge and 
prevent a passage. S. Serf, supporting 
his aged limbs on a staff, reproached him 
for leaving, and, when he excused him- 
self, prayed that he might cross to him 
and become his disciple, old as he was ; 
but Kentigern sent him back to his own, 
imploring blessings on his head, and de- 
claring the work of ministry for which 
God had set him apart from the womb 
of his mother. 

At.a place called Kernach (Carnock) 
there lived a holy old man, by name 
Fregus (Fergus), of holy conversation, 
who, admiring the virtues of Kentigern, 
had it revealed to him, like Simeon, that 
he should not taste of death till he be- 
held him. When the saint arrived at 
the house, he received him, and said his 
* Nune dimittis," disposed of his goods to 
the poor, and *purá confessione factá oleo 
remissionis est, inunctus et vivificis Do- 
minici corporis et sanguinis sacramentis 
munitus," rendered his spirit to God. 

Next morning Kentigern placed the 
body on a wain, to which were harnessed 
two untamed bulls praying God that 
they might carry the precious burden to 
the place which he should appoint; which 
thing they did, drawing it without accident 
to Cathures, which is now called Glasghu, 
where they halted near a certain ceme- 
tery, formerly consecrated by S. Ninian. 
No person, however, had hitherto been 
buried in the place, but it became a 
much-frequented place of sepulture. In 
Josceline’s time it was surrounded by a 
dense grove, ^usque in presens obum- 


366 


brantium arborum cingitur dilectabili 
densitate." The “arbores S. Kenti- 
gerni” were landmarks in A.D. 1500.— 
(Regist. Episcop. Glasg., p. 501.) 

Two brothers lived at this place. 
The one, Anguen, obeyed and ob- 
served him in all things, and received 
blessings from the Lord. The other 
Telleyr, insulting and mocking the 
saint, died suddenly by tripping under a 
great weight which he had vauntingly 
lifted to show his strength. The king 
and the clergy of “regio Cambrensis,” 
the great British kingdom stretching 
from the Clyde southwards, along with 
the rest of the Christians, few indeed in 
number, met together and besought 
Kentigern to be their bishop. He re- 
sisted on account of youth and unfitness ; 
but at length, overruling his scruples, 
* imprecantes ergo ei prosperam,” and 
blessing him in the name of the Trinity, 
and committing him to the Holy Ghost, 
the Sanctifier, the distributor of all de- 
grees, offices, and dignities in the Church, 
they enthroned him, and having sum- 
moned a bishop from Hibernia, after the 
manner of the Britons and Scots of the 
period, they made him be consecrated. 

Josceline then mentions that in Bri- 
tannia it was the custom to consecrate 
by anointing the head, the invocation 
of the Holy Spirit, blessing and the im- 
position of hands, and that apostolic 
tradition was alleged for this. Then, 
after stating that the canons require that 
no bishop shall be consecrated by less 
than three bishops, one of whom shall 
say the sacramental prayers appropriate 
to each pontifical ornament, and that the 
two others shall lay their hands on him, 


KENTIGERN. 


and be witnesses, and hold the text of 
the Gospels over his neck, adds that the 
British consecration does not take away 
the power and effect of the divine mys- 
tery, and puts it down to the fact that 
the “insulani” beyond the world, in the 
midst of infestation by pagans, were 
ignorant of the canons. They therefore 
are excusable, but it would not be right 
now. Kentigern, who, it will be seen, 
afterwards submitted to the correction 
of the original rite, established his see 
at Deschu (that is, the dear family), also 
called Cathures, and afterwards Glaschu, 
and there brought together a lay society 
of the servants of God —“ plurimam 
servorum Dei continentium et secundum 
formam primitive ecclesie sub apostolis, 
in proprietate, in disciplina sancta, et 
divino obsequio: viventium, claram et 
caram Deo familiam adunavit," — in 
short, he founded a college of Culdees. 
Josceline says the diocese was co-ex- 
tensive with the Cambrian kingdom, 
which he describes as extending from 
the Wall of Severus to the river 
Forth, which divided Scotia from 
Anglia. There was, of course, no dio- 
cesan episcopacy till King David's time 
(1124-1153). Before that the bishops 
were either attached as inferior to the 
abbot in the Columbite monasteries, or 
they presided over clans or septs. At 
the time of the consecration the country 
was devastated by paganism, heresy, 
and evil living. 

After his elevation to the episcopate, 
S. Kentigern distinguished himself by 
greater austerity than ever. From the 
time of his election in his twenty-fifth 
year till his death he lived on bread, 


KENTIGERN. 


cheese, milk, butter, etc. breaking his 
fast only once in three. or four days, ab- 
staining from flesh, blood, and wines. 

His dress is described thus :—First a 
hair shirt, then a garment of goatskin 
(Melote, v. Du Cange ad verb.), then a 
narrow hood like a fisherman's, and over 
that an alb and stole. In his hand he 
carried a pastoral staff of simple wood 
bent backwards, and his manual, ever 
ready to exercise his ministry. 

His couch was rather a sepulchre than 
a bed, and was of rock, with a stone for 
a pillow like Jacob. He rose in the 
night, and sang psalms and hymns till 
the second cockcrowing. Then he rushed 
into the cold stream, and with eyes fixed 
on heaven he recited the whole psalter. 
Then, coming out of the water, he dried 
his limbs on a stone on the mountain 
called Galath, and went forth for his 
day’s work. His speech was slow and 
composed, and he did more by his silence 
than many others by superfluity of 
words. Specially devout was he in the 
divine service, and men said that in 
celebrating, sometimes a white dove with 
a golden bill was seen to rest on his 
head, and that a luminous cloud at other 
times surrounded his head, or took his 
place at the altar. 

During Lent he retired to desert places. 
How he was fed there no one knew. He 
forbade inquiry by hisepiscopal authority, 
but once he said that a certain person of 
his acquaintance had lived sometimes on 
roots, and sometimes had been so sus- 
tained by the power of God as to live 
without anything : none doubted that he 
spoke of himself. 

He returned to his episcopal duties on 


367 


Maundy Thursday, was concrucified with 
Christ on Good Friday, watched before 
the tomb, and spent the day of days in 
hilarity and joy. 

The author next describes the beauty 
of his person, representing him as being 
very strong and indefatigable, beautiful 
to look upon, and fair to behold, with a 
countenance full of grace and reverence, 
with dove-like eyes, cheeks like the 
turtle-dove, and with an air of heavenly 
joy and exultation. He also gives a 
sermon of his against hypocrisy, which 
strictly inculcates a holy joy. Itsavours, 
however, of the twelfth century. 

No sooner was he consecrated than he 
proceeded on foot to visit his diocese, 
correcting his people, the greater part of 
whom had apostatised from the church, 
reforming abuses, and enforcing ecclesi- 
astical discipline. On his return he 
betook himself to his ordinary life, which 
was rendered illustrious by certain 
miracles, some of which Josceline records ; 
such as his causing a wolf and a stag 
to drag the plough; his sowing a field 
with sand, and corn growing up in due 
time ; his causing the barns of the mock- 
ing Morken (the historical Morcant) to 
be carried by the Clyde to his resting- 
place at the Mellindonor, after which the 
judgment of God fell on Catheli,.or 
Cathen, the servant of Morken, who 
hated the saint, and had assaulted him, 
as also on the king himself, who soon 
after died of a swelling in his feet at a 
royal city called, after him, Thorp- 
Morken. 

After this the saint was left for a time 
in peace at Glasghu, but the death of the 
tyrant did not leave him long undis- 


368 


turbed, for two of his relations, men of 
Belial, not only sought to entrap him, 
but actually conspired against his life; 
upon which the man of God determined 
to move into some other part, after the 
example of S. Paul who fled from Da- 
mascus. He therefore betook himself 
to S. Dewi, who was bishop in Menevia, 
and on his way, wherever he went, virtue 
went out of him to heal many. At 
Karleolum (Carlisle) he heard that there 
were many among the neighbouring 
mountains given to idolatry. He accord- 
ingly turned aside and converted them. 
He remained some time “in loco con- 
denso,” confirming the inhabitants in the 
faith, and erected there a cross as the 
sign of salvation, which thence took the 
name Crosfeld (Crossthwaite). A basilica 
has been erected there, “ moderno tem- 
pore," to the name of S. Kentigern. 
Going out of his way “per loca mari- 
tana," he collected a great harvest for the 
Lord, and arriving at S. Dewi's he lived 
with him for some time, till his fame not 
only reached the people, but King Cath- 
wallanus, by whom Caswallawn Lawhir, 
King of North Wales in the sixth cen- 
tury, appears to be meant. This prince 
gave him the choice ofall his land to 
found a monastery on, but recommended 
Nautharus, to which, bidding farewell to 
Dewi, he betook himself. The Book of 
S. Asaph, however, states that the king 
who gave him the site was Maelgwyn 
Gwynyd, the son of Caswallawn, and 
the Maglocunus of Gildas, whose date 
agrees better with that of Kentigern. 
Leaving the presence of Dewi, led by 
a white boar, he came to a place on the 
border of a river which is called Elgu, now 


KENTIGERN. 


Elwy, where he commenced to build a 
monastery. While it was rising, Mel- 
coinde Galganii, an Angle, came with 
soldiers to oppose him. After breathing 
threats against the men of God, he was 
struck blind, but being restored by the 
prayers of S. Kentigern, from a persecu- 
tor he became an ardent supporter of the 
mission. The cathedral seat was here 
established, and many unbelievers and 
misbelievers (forthe Kentigernian mission 
at all times refers both to those who 
were not Christians, and to those who 
held erroneous views of the truth) were 
won to the faith. 

The account of the monastery, which 
is given at some detail, seems to show 
us the political and religious nature 
of the enormous Welsh and Scotic ab- 
bacies. Men of all ages and ranks 
pressed into it to the number of nine 
hundred and sixty-five. These were 
divided into three bands. Three hundred 
who were illiterate were deputed to agri- 
culture and the care of cattle. Three 
hundred more were allocated to duties 
within the monastery, such as the pre- 
paration of food and the building of 
offices. The remaining three hundred 
and sixty-five devoted themselves to the 
divine office in church by day and by 
night, and scarcely ever went forth out of 
the sanctuary, though when S. Kentigern 
went abroad on episcopal duty, he took 
some of the more aged, and wise, and apt, 
to teach others. He divided the choir 
monks into companies, so that the praise 
of God never ceased. There were many 
very holy men among them, but none 
was so distinguished as S. Asaph, whose 
written life is referred to by Josceline, in 


KENTIGERN. 


which life, however, strangely enough, 
there is no allusion to Kentigern. Drawn 
together by a common miracle, the two 
saints became very dear to each other; 
and it will be seen that after being ad- 
vanced to holy orders, S. Asaph suc- 
ceeded his master in the government of 
the monastery. At this time he had 
revealed to him the death of S. Dewi, 
and his coronation by our Lord himself ; 
also that, on account of the removal of 
that saint, the Lord was to deliver 
Britannia to a pagan nation, that the 
island would be emptied of its inhabit- 
ants, that Christianity for a time would 
be proscribed, but that at length God 
would restore everything to a better 
condition than before. This took place 
in the year AD. 589.—(See Annals of 
Tighernach) Joceline states that S. 
Kentigern visited Rome seven times, 
prefacing the statement of this fact 
with a brief account of the previous 
christianisation of Britain. He narrates 
from Gildas the account of Faganus and 
Duvianus being sent to King Lucius by 
Eleutherius ; the history of the martyr- 
dom of S. Alban in the persecution of 
Diocletian ; the introduction of the Pela- 
gianand Arian heresies which S. Germanus 
overthrew ; and lastly, an invasion of the 
heathen Picts and Scots, which uprooted 
the faith. Then he tells of the invasion of 
the Angles, and the flight of the natives 
into Wales and Brittany ; the first con- 
version of the Picts by S. Ninian, their 
relapse into apostasy, their recovery 
by S. Kentigern, and their confirmation 
after certain confusions, and the con- 
version of the Scots by that saint, on 
his return, and by S. Columba. After 


369 


mentioning S. Augustine’s mission, he 
states that S. Kentigern went seven times 
to Rome, and in the seventh visit nearly 
died—that he received from the pope 
whatsoever was wanting to his ordina- 
tion, brought home privileges, and books 
of the Holy Scripture, and finally 
settled down in peace for a time to 
govern his church and monastery, where, 
among other marvels, he detected vice 
and heresy in two clerics, who were 
brought into relation with him, and on 
whom he denounced the judgment of 
God. Meanwhile the “regio Cambrina,” 
whence S. Kentigern had departed, 
suffered severely in consequence, God 
being angry with the people. At length 
the day of mercy came, and he raised up 
a king over them, Rederech by name, who 
having been baptized in Ireland by the 
disciples of S. Patrick, “ fide christianis- 
sim4,” sought the Lord with all his heart. 
Finding Christianity almost trodden out 
in his dominions, he despatched the most 
urgent letters to S. Kentigern, praying 
him to return. In doubt the saint be- 
took himself to prayer, and that night 
the angel of the Lord stood by him, 
commanding him to return to Glasghu 
with the promise of great success. On 
announcing his determination in the 
morning, ^ unanimi omnium assensu 
Sanctum Asaph in regimen monasterii, 
et plebis petitione et cleri canonicá elec- 
tione, pontificatus successorem sibi subro- 
gavit." After urging them to religion, and 
to preserving the institutes of the Roman 
Church, S. Asaph was enthroned, and 
Kentigern, accompanied by six hundred 
and sixty-five monks, left by the north 


door, which is now always closed save 


3B 


370 


on the feast of S. Asaph, on the 1st of 
May. When the king heard of his return 
from Wallia to Cambria, he went out 
with great joy to meet him. Devils were 
cast out at his presence, the plain Hold- 
elm, now Hoddam, in Dumfriesshire, 
where he preached, rose into a hill, and 
a great multitude were instructed and 
baptized into the faith. The return of 
Cambria to the truth was signalised by 
gracious rains and greater fertility. 

Rederech submitted his crown to the 
saint, thus fulfilling the prophecy of St. 
Servanus, in bestowing his name, and 
the author states that this became the 
custom while the Cambrian kingdom 
remained in this state—that the prince 
was always subject to the bishop. Kenti- 
gern’s prayers obtained a son for Re- 
derech, whom he named Constantine, 
who, after a brilliant reign, became a 
saint. This by anticipation. Meanwhile 
Kentigern first established his episcopal 
chair in Holdelm, but at length, by 
divine command, transferred it ‘to 
Glasghu. After visiting and purifying 
his own diocese, he did the same in 
Galwethia, the patria of the Picts. He 
also erected many churches and ordained 
many priests in Albania, sending his 
disciples to the Orchades, Norwegia, 
and Salanda. Finally, he returned to 
Glasghu, where he performed many 
miracles, especially that the rain never 
wet his garments. 

It was at this time that the event 
took place, which has left its record—the 
ring and the fish—on the arms of the 
town of Glasgow, and it is remarkable as 
showing how, in the midst of great per- 
sonal strictness, the saints of old main- 


KENTIGERN. 


tained the greatest tenderness for sinners. 
Just as, in the lives of'S. Brigida and S. 
Cainnech, we find miraculous power in- 
tervening to conceal the shame of young 
women who had strayed from the path 
of virtue, so, in the story of Queen 
Langueth, we find the precept * Go, and 
sin no more" inculeated. The queen, 
having a young lover, gave him a ring 
which her husband had bestowed on her 
as à special mark of his conjugal affec- 
tion. This was pointed out to the king, 
and one day, as the lover slept fatigued 
by the chase with his hand exposed, the 
king drew the ring off, threw it into the 
Clyde, and then went home in fury to 
demand it of his wife. She, pretend- 
ing to seek it, sent off to the lover, 
who now became aware of his loss, The 
king gave her three days to find the 
ring, in which strait she sent off to S. 
Kentigern, who told them to catch the 
first fish and to open it. The-ring being 
found in it all were made happy. The 
queen repented, and after the king’s death 
told the occurrence. 

Passing over the marvels of the supply 
of blackberries at Christmas to the 
Trish jester, and the turning milk into 
cheese in the Clyde, we come to the 
interesting meeting of the saint with 
Columba, “ quem Angli vocant Columkil- 
lum.” Attended by many of his disciples 
in these lands, he came to the Mellen- 
donor. S. Kentigern also marshalled 
his spiritual host in like manner—first 
the young, then their elders, and lastly 
the aged. All sang, “In viis Domini, 
quam magna est gloria Domini,” and 
again they added, “ Via justorum recta 
facta est ; et iter Sanctorum preparatum 


KENTIGERN. 


est." Then sang the choir of S. Columba, 
*Tbunt Sancti de. virtute: in. virtutem, 
videbitur Deus deorum in Syon, cum 
Alleluia.” $8. Columba knew the saint:by 
a column of light, and they interchanged 
embraces, and filled. themselves with 
spiritual feasts before they refteshed the 
body. * How great,” adds Joceline, “was 
the sweetness of heavenly contemplation 
in their holy hearts is not for me to say: 
nor is it given to me, or to those like 
unto me, to search out the hidden 
manna, as I think, entirely unknown, 
save to those who taste it" After a 
miracle of a ram’s’ head stolen from S. 
Kentigern’s flock being turned into 
stone, the two saints exchanged their 
pastoral staves. That which S. Columba 
gave to S. Kentigern was long preserved 
in honour at S. Wilfred’s church in 
Ripon. On this-they parted. 

S. Kentigern used to: erect: crosses 
wherever he preached. Two specially 
are mentioned : one, in the cemetery of 
the Church of the. Holy Trinity, where 
the episcopal chair is placed, was raised 
by angels; the other, at Lothwerwerd, 
(} Borthwick), was formed of sea sand. 
To both these, madmen and persons 
vexed with unclean spirits are bound, 
and often are cured.. : 

And now, in extreme old age, blessed 
Kentigern judging from ‘innumerable 
crevices. that the ruin of his earthly 
tabernacle was imminent, consoled his 
soul on the foundation of the faith upon 
the Rock. .So feeble was he, that his 
chin had to be sustained by a bandage. 
He now fortified himself with. extreme 
unction, and the. life-giving. sacraments 
of the Body and the Blood, knowing that, 


371 


beloved as he was by God ‘and man, 
the hóur had: come when he was to pass 
out of the world to the ‘Father of Lights. 
Calling his disciples together, he ex- 
horted them to observance: of their rule, 
mutual charity; hospitality; and study. 
Above all things they were to avoid si- 
mony, and corimunion with heretics, and 
were to maintain the institutes of the 
Roman Church. Then he bléssed each 
one bending before him, and raising his 
hand as well. as hé could, and consigning 
them to the tutelage of the Holy Trinity 
and the- protection of the Holy Mother 
of God; he gathered’ himself up-into- his 
movable stone couch. Great was their 
grief, but one ef his disciples- prayed 
him ‘to obtain-that the pontiff should 
not enter into the pleasant. places of 
heaven without his clergy ; and while they 
said this with tears, the man of God 
said, “The will of God be done in you all; 
and may He dispose of you as seemeth 
best in his sight." Then the saint was 
silent, and as the morning light; came, 
an angel of the Lord appeared, and 
announced that he was to go into a 
warm bath, where he would be released. 
of his mortal spirit, and that those of 
his followers who entered. afterwards 
should be the ‘companions of his journey, 
and with him enter into’ the joy of their 
Lord. This-was accordingly done. ‘The 
saint.'on the octave of the Epiphany 
entered the warm bath, first signing him- 
self with the sign of the cross ; and his 
disciples, accórding ‘to the angel's pro- 
mise, dipping themselves m-the water 
before it cooled; went unto their Lord. 
They. stripped him. of his. common 
clothes, and kept them for relics. They 


372 


clothed him in his pontificals, and carried 
him, with hymns and songs, into the 
choir; and, as was the custom, they buried 
him at the right side of the altar. 

He died on a Sunday, when he was 

-one hundred and eighty-five years of 
age past, in the year 601 according to 
some, and in the year 612 according 
to the Annales Cambrie. His day is 
the 13th November, and Sunday fell on 
that day in the years 603 and 614, in 
either of which years he probably died. 
At his tomb at Glasgow, where he rests 
unto this day (May 11, 1871), cures 
were wrought. The same year in 
which he died, Laloicen or Merlin, here 
described as the fool of Rederech, an- 
nounced that the king and one of the 
chiefs, Morthec by name, must soon die. 
This accordingly took place, and they 
also were buried in Glasghu, where six 
hundred and sixty-five saints rest in the 
cemetery. In 1726 there remained a 
proverb in Aberdeenshire, in allusion to 
his finding no rest but in doing good : 
“Tt is like S. Mungo's work which was 
never done.”—(Antiquities of Aberdeen 
and Banff, vol ii p. 166; Spalding 
Club.) 

Boece (Scot. Hist. f. 167, ed. 1575) 
makes our saint go to Dunkeld, and 
remain there with S. Columba six months. 

No church in Scotland is dedicated to 
this saint by his actual name: but by his 
honorific and affectionate appellation of 
Mungo (the gracious or graceful one), 
there are several. There is a parish of 
S. Mungo or Abermilk in Dumfriesshire 
(N. S. A., Dumfries, p. 203); the ruins 
of a chapel at South Auchterarder (N. 
S. A., Perth, p. 290) ; his hill at Huntly 


KENTIGERN. 


(N. S. A, Aberdeen, p. 1036), that 
parish having been formed out of those 
of Dunbennan and Kynor, where is S. 
Mungo's well (Antiquities of Aberdeen 
and Banff, vol ii p. 165); his hill at 
the entrance of Loch Car, near Glencoe ; 
his isle at Inverness-shire (N.S. A., Inver- 
ness, 426); his well at Penicuik; be- 
sides the glorious cathedral in his own 
city (Orig. Par. i. 18). 

Glengarden (united parish with Tul- 
lich and Glennmuick) is dedicated to S. 
Mungo.—(V. D. A. p. 639.) His other 
churches are— 

Polwarth, where his fair was held. 

Kirkmahoe in  Nithsdale (Regist. 
Vetus de Aberbrothok, pp. 212-216). 

Borthwick at Woolston. 

Penicuik, where is his well; and 

Currie. 

Lanark, where in the dedication he is 
joined to S. Mary (Orig. Par. i. p. 118). 

Lochwerweth (Lib. de Scon, 33). 

The well which gives water to the 
burgh of Peebles bears the name of S. 
Mungo.—(Orig. Par. i. 227.) 

I am indebted to the Rev. Dr. Reeves 
for the following dedications in Cumber- 
land to our saint:—1. Aspatria; 2. 
Bromfield; 3. Caldbeek; 4. Crosthwaite ; 
5. Grinsdale ; 6. Irthington; 7. Sowerby 
Castle. There are no dedications to him 
in Westmoreland or in Wales. 

Towards the end of S. Kentigern's 
life, Fordun, or rather his continuator, 
Bower, gives a graphie account of his 
absolving and. communicating Merlin, 
who was leading a wild life, near Ar- 
thuret, as punishment for all the blood- 
shed he had caused.—(Fordun, Scoti- 
chron. lib. iii e. 31, ed. Goodall, vol.

KENTIGERNA. January 7, A.D. 
733.—Kentigerna, styled also Quenti- 
gerna and Caentigern, is known to us as 
the recluse of Inch Cailleach on Loch 
Lomond, as the sister of S. Congan, and 
as the mother of S. Fillan. She was the 
daughter of Ceallach Cualann (ob. 715), 
a regulus of Leinster, whose pedigree 
from Fedhlimidh Fiorurglas is known to 
us through Macfirbis.—(Genealog. MS. 
p. 461a)

Ceallach was the forefather of the 
O'Kellys (Ui Ceallaigh Cualann), who 
possessed Rathdown in the County 
Dublin till the fourteenth century. 

The legend of this saint in the Aber- 
deen Breviary, which is evidently drawn 
from some Irish life of her distinguished 
son, states that she was of the royal 
family of the Scoti, being daughter of 
Tyrennus, chief of the Laynenses (Kelle-

nus— Colgan), and married to Feria- 
cus, Prince of Monchestree (Feradach— 
Colgan). She had for brother-german 
the devout Congan, and a son approved 
for gravity of manners, Faelanus. Then 
follows the legend of S. Ibar rescuing 
him from the waters when he was seen 
at the bottom playing with angels. 
Leaving Ireland, the three betook them- 
selves to Straphilane, where they re- 
mained some time. In the end, when 
deprived of the society of her son and 
brother, Kentigerna went for the sake 
of contemplation to Inch Cailzeoch 
(Inchelroche — Camerarius) in Louch- 
loumont in Levenax, where, after living 
as an anchorite, her soul ascended to 
Christ. The parochial church of the 
island is dedicated to her.—(Brev. Ab. 
pars hyem. fol. xxv. ; Colgan, Acta SS. 
Hib. p. 21) The Annals of Ulster re- 
cord her death in 734 (733).—(Skene, 
Chron. of Picts and Scots, p. 356.) For 
an account of Inch Cailleach, see O. 
S. A., vol. ix. p. 12; N. S. A, Stirling,

KESSOG, B. and C. March 10.—— 
S. Kessog or Mackessog was born in 
Cashel the capital of Munster, of the 
race of the illustrious kings of Ireland, 
and was early distinguished by miracles. 
On one occasion his father invited the 
princes who were of the same race with 
himself to a banquet, where he gave 
them a distinguished reception. The 
young princes having gone near a pool 
to play with Kessogus, who was still a 
child, they all fell in, and Kessogus alone 


374 


returned to his father to tell what. had 
happened. In spite of the, good offices 
of one, Elinthus in breaking the news 
to the chiefs, they were so angry that 
they threatened to burn all Munster. 
Kessogus, after a night of prayer, 
restored the princes -to, their -parents. 
More miracles were. performed by him, 
as is fully detailed in his life. At 
length he died, and he now rests in the 
church of Lus.—(Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. 
fol.lxvia.). Colgan is silent: as to this 
saint, but the Bollandists notice him.— 
(Acta SS. Mar. t. i.p. 38.) Dr. Todd, 
in a noteito the Martyrology of Donegal, 
March 11 (p. 74, note 1), identifies him 
with. Moshenoc of Beitheach. ^ There 
stands, in a more recent hand, * Senan is 
his name in ZEngus at -this day.” Dr. 
Todd: adds,“ This saint is called Kesso- 
gus in the Brev. Ab.” . -— 
At.the place of his burial is Carn-ma- 
cheasaig (Orig. Par. i. 30 ; O..S. A. xvii. 
264), where he is supposed to have. suf- 
fered death, for local tradition makes S. 
Kessog a martyr. Living in the island 
of Inch-ta-vanach, he devoted himself to 
prayer and to evangelising theneighbour- 
hood. Finally he suffered martyrdom for 
the truth at Bandry, where a cairn and 
large stone, on which is carved the effigy 
of an ecclesiastie, were erected to his 
memory. Another tradition says that 
he was martyred in a foreign land, and 
that, embalmed in sweet. herbs, his body 
was brought for interment to the church 
of his native place.. The herbs (uss in 
Gaelic) germinated, and gave the name 
to the parish. Malcolm, Earl of Lennox, 
grants a charter to John.of Luss (1292- 
1333), *for the reverence and honour 


KESSOG—KEVOCA. 


of our patron the most holy man, the 
blessed Kessog." 

The church of Auchterarder granted 
in 1200 by Gilbert, Earl of Strathearn, 
to the Abbey of Inchaffray, is dedicated 
to him, —(Liber Insul. Missarum, pp. viii. 
4, 8, 18, 70.) “Robert Bruce, in 1313, 
granted to the church of Luss—Deo et 
Beato Kessogo — a sanetuary-girth of 
three miles, in a charter which is pre- 
served, at Buchanan, and engraved along 
with the effigy of S. Kessog, now at 
Rossdhu, in * The Chiefs of Colquhoun 
and their Country," by William Fraser 
(vol ii pp. 54, 58) The bell of S. 
Kessog— sancta campana Sancti Kes- 
sogii”—was still held in reverence in the 
Lennox in the seventeenth century.— 
(Retours, Perth, 708, 880.) 

The saint was honoured also at Callan- 
der, where, on the 21st March (the 10th 
0.8.), is the fair Fel-ma-chessaig (O.S.A. xi. 
597), and a curious conical hill or mound 
where the old church stood, which seems 
to be artificial, and is called Tom-ma- 
chessaig.—(Ibid. p. 610 ; N. S. A, Perth, 
356.) 

There is a Kessog's fair in Cumbrae 
on the 3d Wednesday in March (N.S. A., 
Bute, p. 161), and Kessock Ferry at 
Inverness (N. S. A., Inverness, ii. 28 ; 
Ross, 61, 229). 


KEVOCA, V. March 18, A.D. 655. 
— The legend of this saint (Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol, Lxviii.) supplies us 
with no historical fact.. It details in 
general terms that she was of a noble race 
of Scoti, and that though. beautiful she 
declined marriage, affirming that her only 
spouse was Jesus Christ and He cruci- 


KEVOCA. 


fied. Neither threats, exile, nor poverty 
diverted her from this determination. 
She was held in great honour in the 
church called Kyle. 

It would seem that this is one.of the 
not uncommon instances where a name 
only has remained in a certain locality, 
and a legend has been invented to give 
reality to it. In this case, as occurs 
also in other places, the feminine ter- 
mination has deceived the person who 
dealt with it, and accordingly, S. Kevoca, 
or Caemhog, has been unsexed. The 
real name is Caomhan or Pulcherius, 
the affectionate form of which is Mo- 
chaemhoc, pronounced Mo-keevoc. His 
church is in Liath-mor or Liath-mo- 
chaemhoc, now called Leamokevoge, in 
the parish of Twomileburris, barony of 
Eliogarty, Co. Tipperary.—(See Annals 
of Ireland by the Four Masters, A.D. 
655,vol i p. 266.) His acts are given 
by Colgan (Acta SS. Hib. p. 589), and 
in Fleming's Collectanea, pp. 380-391. 
—(See, for an explanation of the change 
of sex, Reeves' Culdees, p. 34, note.) 

The name of this saint is still pre- 
served in that of the parish of S. Quivox 
or S. Evox in the immediate vicinity of 
Ayr.—(See Butler's Lives of the Saints, 
voli p.346.) "There is a Kevock burn 
in the parish of Eaglesham.—(N. 8. A., 
Renfrew, p. 385.) 

He was of Connaught, but his father 
Beoanus, a warrior and "artifex," de- 
serted his native district on account of a 
feud, and settled in Munster, where 8. 
Ita gave him. her sister Nessa to wife, in 
reward for executing a fine building in 
her monastery. S. Ita by her pray- 
ers obtained for him a son, after she 


975 


had restored him to life when slain in 
battle by Crunnmael, king of the 
southern part of Hy-Conaill Before 
the birth of the saint, his mother’s milk 
gave sight to S. Fachnanus of Ros- 
ailithir. S. Ita at the font called the 
saint Mochoemacus (my beautiful youth), 
and educated him till he was twenty, 
when she handed him over to S. Com- 
gall of Bangor, who soon ordained him 
priest. Expounding a.vision in which 
one demon was seen resting on the king's 
Rath, but a multitude near the con- 
vent, to signify the greater virulence of 
the fiends against the religious, he was 
sent forth, first to Enachtrium, which he 
handed over to Coemanus, and then to 
Cluain-mor. On the lord of the region 
of Eile offering him his castle in spite 
of the opposition of his magus, he re- 
fused the gift, but accepted an unculti- 
vated place near Lurgan, which was 
indicated to him as the place of his 
resurrection by the sounding of a bell 
given him by S. Ita. Here he met 
Bishop Colman, of the race of Eogan- 
acht. 

Then follows a history, which is de- 
tailed at length, to show the relations of 
the monastic saints with the secular 
governors of Ireland, and also.to indi- 
cate some interesting phases of the 
religious faith of the day. The friendly 
* dux," who had given him Liath as his 
monastery, died, and was succeeded by 
Ronan, the son of Bledin, who first de- 
termined to expel the saint from his 
territories, but being terrified by the 
miraculous adhesion of his feet to the 
ground, he changed his intentions, and 
became very obedient to the saint, and 


376 


the saint loved him much. After his 
death, one day when the saint was 
commending him, a certain ^ scriba," in 
the presence of S. Finian, greatly blamed 
him for doing so, on which he said, 
“The soul of Ronan is in the hands of 
God, that he may forgive him for my 
sake: but that thou mayest know that 
thou art blinded by thy science, and 
that thy contention is useless, learn that 
thy death is imminent, and that none 
shall know thy grave; but I will not 
curse thee that thou shouldst lose the 
kingdom of God." All this accordingly 
took place. 

A time of intestine war succeeded. 
Suibhne, son of Diarmaid, seized the 
lordship of Eile, expelling Faelan, the son 
of Ronan. Mochoemhoc made peace be- 
tween them, but Slebin, son of Suibhne, 
slew Faelan treacherously. S. Cainnech 
objected to his being buried among the 
monks. Mochoemhoc said, ^I will not 
contradict thee, O father; his body shall 
for a time be buried separately, but his 
soul is in the presence of God in heaven ; 
and therefore his resurrection should 
be among the monks. Let my staff and 
chrysmale be buried with him, til the 
corpse of Slebin, who killed him, cometh 
hither, for the hand wherewith he sinned 
shall drop off, and straightway he will 
die, and be buried here, and Faelan will 
come again and be buried with the 
monks." All this took place: Slebin 
was buried, and Faelan revivified, and 
the saint asked him, “Wilt thou live 
some time longer here, or now migrate 
to heaven?" Faelan, giving clear 
testimony to the rest of the just, and 
the pains of the damned, said, “My 


KEVOCA. 


lord father, the glory of this world is 
nought; suffer me straightway to go to 
Christ ;" and so he died and was honour- 
ably buried among the monks. Slebin 
was buried outside where he had been 
before. On this the father of Slebin 
repented, and said, * My lord, O father 
and master, shepherd of the faithful of 
Christ, I will willingly suffer martyr- 
dom or go on a long pilgrimage if thou 
willest ; and whatever thou layest on 
me, by Christ's help I will fulfil" The 
man of God, seeing that he was touched 
by true compunction, said, * Confess thy 
sins, and moreover befaithful inallthings, 
and offer alms in the churches for the 
sins of Ronan thy predecessor, for God 
is ever ready to grant pardon to those 
who turn to him." The *dux" did what 
he was told, and made a good end in 
his castle, which stands in the midst of 
the river Syure. 

Another striking legend relates how 
Failbhe Fland, king of Munster (whom 
the Annals declare to have died in 633), 
having done injury to and despised the 
saint, saw in a vision an old man who 
led him to the south wall of the Rock of 
Cashel, and showed him in the plain 
Femyn a synod of holy men, in white 
robes, consisting of S. Patrick and all 
the saints of Ireland, who threatened 
him with death if he did not do justice 
to Mochoemhoc. Then the old man led 
him to the north, and looking over 
the field of Monael, he beheld S. Brigida, 
S. Ita, and all the virgins of Ireland, 
who had come to aid him, and by them 
he was warned in like manner. There 
are many other miracles, some of which 

"throw light upon the condition of the

times. He is supposed to have lived, 
according to one computation, one 
hundred and fourteen, according to 
another, one hundred and twenty-three 
years.—(Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 599.) 


KIERNACH. — This saint occurs 
among the abbots in the Dunkeld 
Litany. There is a Cairnech of Tuilen 
(Dulane in County Meath, near Kells) 
at the 16th of May, who is said in the 
more recent hand to be “ of the Britons.”

KILDA or KILDER.—In the island 
of S. Kilda, anciently termed Irte, Hirth,

Achadh-ur (now Freshford in the county 
of Kilkenny) and of Bealach Feabhrat 
(now Ballahoura in the north of the 
county of Cork), of the race of Conaire, 
son of Moghlamha, and a disciple of Com- 


gall of Bangor.—(Mart. Donegal, p. 81.) 


LAISREN, A. Sept. 16, av. 605. 
—Laisren, abbot of Ia-coluim-cille. He 
was of the race of Conall Gulban, son of 
Niall.— (Mart. Donegal.) His father, 
Feradach, was cousin-german to S. Co- 
lumcille. He was the saint’s companion

in Ardnamurchan ; and after ruling the 
Abbey of Durrow, he became the third 
Abbot of Hy.—(Reeves’ Adamnan, pp.

LAISTRANUS. Cir. av. 640.— 
Laistranus or Laustranus was one of the 
Scotic Bishops addressed in the letter

of Easter. Hemay have been the Abbot 
of Leighlin who died in A.D. 639. 


LAWRENCE, B.and C. February 2, 
A.D. 619.—In the Roman Martyrology 
(Ed. Baronii, Moguntie, 1631, p. 92), 
at this day, we find, * At Canterbury in 
England the natal day of S. Lawrence 
the bishop who governed that Church 
after S. Austin, and converted the king 
himself to the faith" How he was 
sent by him with the famous list of 
questions to S. Gregory ; how he was 
ordained by his predecessor in his life- 
time ; how he extended the faith among 
the Angles, and took the care not only 
of the ancient inhabitants of Britain, 
but of the Scoti who inhabited Ireland ; 
how to these, with his fellow bishops, 
he addressed a letter on the Paschal 
question; how he was scourged by S. 
Peter for proposing to leave England on 
account of the heathen persecution 
of Eadbald; how the sight of the 
marks thereby inflicted convinced the 
king ; how he died, and was buried be- 
side his predecessor in the church and 
monastery of S. Peter at Canterbury,

is related in Bzeda's History —(Beda, H. 
E. lib. i. 27, ii. 4, 6, 7.) 

Later writers add that he made a 
journey into Pictland, and was there 
visited by S. Ternan. The chief field 
of the labours of that “Apostle of the 
Picts" as he was called, was the Mearns, 
and here, not far from the tomb of 8S. 
Palladius, a church arose dedicated in 
honour of the English Primate, and 
called after him Laurencekirk No 
woman was allowed to enter his chapel. 
S. Margaret, wishing “sacrum locum hon- 
orare et exaltare,” was afflicted with such 
anguish (cruciatibus) that she cried, 
“ Quick, take me home, or I die imme- 
diately.” (See Dr. Joseph Robertson's 
Statuta Eccl. Scoticane, vol. i pref. xxi. 
quoting Acta SS. Feb. t. i. p. 294, and 
Maii, t. v. pp. 881-883.)

penance of seven years’ relegation to 
Campo-lunghe in Terra Ethica, now 
Tiree, on Libranus after making confes- 
sion of all his sins; and then reconciling 
him, and receiving him to communion.— 
(Reeves’ Adamnan, lib. ii. c. 39, p. 162 ; 
T. Innes, Civ. and Eccl. Hist. p. 205.) 
He told him he should die not in Scot- 
land but in Ireland at a great age, which 
actually took place at Durrow. He is 
called Abbot of Ia-coluim-cille, —(Col- 
gan, Acta SS. Hib. 584) 


LOLAN, B. and C. September 22.— 
The legend of this saint is a very strange 
one. Lolanus, a nephew of S. Servanus, 
born in Galilee in Caanan, came to 
Rome, and was appointed claviger of 
the Roman Church. His uncle having 
by divine intimation left Rome to 
preach to the Scots, Lolanus remained 
seven years exercising his ministry. At 
length, longing to behold him face to 
face, he one night shut the church of 
S. Peter as usual, leaving the key in a 
conspicuous place, quitted Rome, and, 
after a long journey on foot, came to the 
place which by the common people is 
called Planum. 

In the morning the chiefs of the 
Roman Church came to pray at S. 
Peter’s, and were unable to open the 
door with the key. Terrified at what 
this might mean they betook them- 
selves to prayer, and it was made 
known to them that the door could only 
be opened by the hand which closed it, 
but that Lolan, by divine providence, 


LOLAN—MACALLAN. 


had gone westward to extend the Roman 
faith. A deacon and subdeacon were 
sent after Lolanus, who, one day as he 
came out of the church at Planum, be- 
held them approaching, and, “flens 
quam familiariter” (observe the acquaint- 
ance of the author of the legend with Ter- 
ence), joyfully received them. When 
they told him that the door could only 
be opened by the hand which shut it, 
he straightway took a sword and cut off 
his right hand on a stone and gave it 
to the Roman legates, who were thus 
enabled to open the gate. In return 
for this he asked for four loads of the 
dust of the cemetery of S. Peter, where- 
in his own body might be buried. The 
Romans therefore sent from Rome four 
ass-loads of earth, in eonsideration of 
which the blessed man prayed that who- 
soever should in sickness vow to be 
buried in that earth, he should receive 
the same indulgences as if actually 
buried in the cemetery of S. Peter, and 
finally attain to the kingdom of heaven. 
—(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol. exiii.) 
He is honoured at Kincardin, near 
Stirling —(Martyrok Aberd) Bishop 
Challoner makes him bishop at Whit- 
hern, where he is said to have departed 
to our Lord in 1054.—(Memorials of 
British Piety, p. 132.) He has a fair 
at Broughton in Stobo.—(Orig. Par. i 
201.) In the Retours of the Earl of 


Perth, in 1662 and 1675 (Retours, Perth, . 


708, 880), we find “Sacra campana 8. 
Olavi (vel Solani),” £e. Lolani. The 
Register of Cambuskenneth speaks of 
“Unum toftum et campana Sti. Lolani 
et baculum Sti. Lolani." 

Camerarius (p. 177) has some curious 


379 


particulars about Lolan. He states that 
the saint aided King Duncan by his 
counsel and prayers, on the occasion 
of an invasion by sea and land on the 
part of the Danes, who were routed, 
partly at Kinghorn, partly at Culross. 
This must be a traditional picture 
of Duncan's contest with Thorfin Sig- 
urdson. 


LUA, LUOC, or LUGHAIDH.—See 
Morocvs. 


LUGUID or LUGHAIDH.—Luguid 
Mac Ua Theimhne was one of the twelve 


companions and relations of S. Colum- 
cille. 


MABRECR. —Kirkmabreck, in Wig- 
tonshire, probably takes its designation 
from some unknown saint of this name. 
For an account of the parish, see O. S. A. 
xv. p. 543. 


MACALLAN,B. and C. September 6, 
A.D 497.—The parish of Macalen or 
Macallan is now annexed to Knock- 
andhu. According to Shaw, Macalen 
or Elchies is a vicarage depending on 
the parson of Botarie.—(N. S. A., Elgin, 
p.60.) “A part of the church-wall of 
Macallan is still standing, but gradually 
mouldering away.”—(Ibid. p. 68.) We 
have Mucolinus of Flisk (Register of Tes- 
taments, Commissariot of S. Andrews, 
vol. i.) in close connection with 8. Adrian 
(see ADRIAN); and the Martyrology of 
Donegal associates MacCuillinn of Lusk 
with Odhran of Lettrech as telling Ciaran 
that his life would be cut short.— 
(Martyrology of Donegal, pp. 239, 265.) 


380 


The Acts of S. Maculin of Lusk, pre- 
served in Trin. Coll. Dubl. state “ that 
he visited Scotland twice, and was in 
repute there.” 


MACCEUS or MAHEW, April 11. 
—He was a companion of S. Patrick, 
and is honoured at Kilmahew, in the 
parish of Cardross, near Dumbarton.— 
(Orig. Par. i 26. In 1467 the chapel, 
which had become ruined, was rebuilt 
and consecrated by George, Bishop of 
Argyle, acting for the Bishop of Glasgow, 
to S. Mahew, confessor, the old patron 
of the place. 

Possibly he is Maedhog of Ferns, 
Mo-aedh-og. Aed is pronounced Zh and 
Hugh. 

There is also Kirkmahoe near Dum- 
fries, if that be not a dedication to S. 
Mazota or Mochuda. Dempster gives 
us *Insula Buta Maccei vatis S. Patricii 
Hibernorum Apostoli discipuli." 


MACCONOC. See Conan. 


MAC-EOGHAIN. — There are two 
localities of the name of Kilviceuen— 
one situated in Mull (Orig. Par. vol. ii. 
pp. 304-306); the other in Ulva (Orig. 
Par. vol. ii. p. 318). 

This was probably a saint who was 
called by the patronymie Mac-Eoghain. 
Blaeu in his map of Mull gives a S. 
Eugenius. Eugenius and Eoghain are 
the same names. In Timothy Pont's 
map, 1646, there is a Heglish Mackwhin 
in Clova, in Angus. 


MACHALUS. April 25, A.D. 498.— 
* He is called also Machella and Mauchold. 
He sat bishop here (in the see of Sodor) 


MACCEUS—MACHAN. 


in 498 and 518. To this saint many 
churches in Scotland and one in Wales 
are dedicated."—(Keith's Scottish Bish- 
ops, p. 298, ed. Russel; Alban Butler, 
Lives of the Saints, ad diem; Ussher, 
Works, vi. 180.) 

There is a remarkable spring at 
Chapelton of Kilmaichlie, in the imme- 
diate neighbourhood of the outlines of 
the old chapel which is cased with 
stones (N. S. A., Banff, p. 125), in the 
parish of Inveravon. 


MACHAN, B. and C. September 28. 
—S. Machan was early sent to be trained 
in Ireland. He addicted himself to no- 
thing but what could benefit souls ; and, 
returning to his native land, he desired 
to teach his own countrymen, who were 
living in Gentile ignorance, and forth- 
with he was raised to the priesthood, 
that he might offer to God “worthy 
victims for his parents’ sins.” After 
traversing various provinces, preaching 
and exhorting, he went on pilgrimage to 
Rome, where, against his will, he was 
raised to the episcopal office. He was 
gifted with the power of miracles—one 
of which was that certain oxen of his 
that were stolen by robbers were, in their 
presence, turned into stone. — (Brev. 
Aberd. pars estiv. fol. exvi.b.; Martyrol. 
Aberd.) He was a disciple of S. Cadoc. 
He was buried at Campsie in Lennox. 
—(Orig. Par. i p. 44) We find him 
at Ecclesmachan (O. S. A. vol. ii. p. 367) ; 
at Chapel S. Machan in Clyne (Orig. 
Par. i. 724). We have in Glasgow 
Cathedral S. Machan's Altar.— (Ibid. i. 
p. 3.) The parish of Dalserf is called 
Machan.—(Ibid. i. pp. 5, 107.) 


MACHAR—MACHUTUS. 


S. Machan is also found in Strath- 
blane.—(Regist. of Testaments, Commis- 
sariot of Glasgow.) 


MACHAR, or MACHARIUS. Se 
MAURITIUS. 


MACHÉEAD.—- St. Machead's day at 
Kirktown of Fortingale, in Athole, 9 day" 
(August).—(Leith's True Almanack for 
1707, etc.) Probably this is the same 
as Macoit. 


MACHUMAG.—He has a chapel at 
the head of Lochger, Kilmahumag, and 
another at Kilmahunaig, in North Knap- 
dale.—(Orig. Par. ii. 29, 40, 44, 92.) 

This name is an affectionate form of 
Cuman. 


MACHUTUS, B. and C. November 
15, A.D. 565.—8. Machutus was of noble 
British birth. He was trained under S. 
Brandan. On the death of the bishop 
of the city where he lived, the people 
rose and determined to make him bishop 
of the place where his father was count. 
That place is termed Gunim Castri. He 
resisted the proposed honour, and with 
a few companions fled, committing him- 
self to the waves, to go wherever the 
Divine Will determined. The heavenly 
host met him by the way, and led him 
to the port whither he would go. He 
was conducted to the country of Gallican 
Britain or Brittany, and to the island 
where S8. Aaron lived. The fame of his 
arrival brought together a crowd, and he 
then raised from the dead a corpse that 
was carried in front of the church. The 
people were baptized, and Machutus was, 
in spite of himself, consecrated bishop. 


381 


The people rose against him because he 
had changed his see contrary to authority. 
* Sed non mutavit sedem qui non auxit 
cupiditatem, lugetque Britannia exulem 
quem sanctimonia gaudet habere hospi- 
iem." At length his country, op- 
pressed by famine, recalled him. The 
good man and prosperity returned to- 
gether. Finally, seized by a tertian 
fever, he expired in sackcloth and 
ashes.—(Brev. Aberd., pars estiv. f. 
clxi.a.) 

This S. Machutus is the same with S. 
Malo,S. Maclovius, or S. Maclou. The see 
in Brittany, to which he was elected, was 
Aleth, which afterwards being reduced to 
a village, his sacred remains were carried 
to S. Malo, and the see transferred 
thither. He died A.D. 565.—(Ussher, 
Works, vol. v. 95-97 ; vi. 50, 51; Rees’ 
Welsh Saints, p. 256; Lanigan, Eccl. 
Hist. of Ireland, vol. ii. p. 33; Alban 
Butler, Lives of the Saints, ad diem.) 
Fordun states that he was the com- 
panion of S. Brandan.—(See BRANDAN, 
and Fordun, lib. iii. c. 23, lib. vii. c. 6 ; 
ed. Goodall, vol i. pp. 128, 384) 
The Martyrology of Aberdeen assigns 
him Lesmahago, which is simply a cor- 
ruption of Ecclesia Machuti. It formed 
part of the possessions of the abbey of 
Kelso, The church of Wigton is also 
dedicated to him.—(N. S. A., Wigton, 
p-6.) In a.D. 1495, William McGadney, 
vicar of Penningham, left some houses to 
support a chaplain in S. Machutus.— 
(Chalmers's Caledonia, vol. iii. p. 424.) 
Some think that he is the S. Mochoat 
of the 9th of August, who is known by 
the fair of Feil Macoit at Logierait, in 
Athol, on the 22d of August (N.S. A., 


382 


Perth, 701, 697), although others iden- 
tify Macoit with MAZOTA, q. v. 

He is the Mahuseus, of whom we 
have a record in the list of the articles 
which were taken from Edinburgh and 
deposited in Berwick by order of King 
Edward L, in the twentieth year of his 
reign, * Una clavis Sancti Mahusei."— 
(Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, 
vol. i. p. 6.) 

The Irish Kalendars give him as 
Machud, at November 14, a mistake 
corrected in a Roman hand, in a note 
to the Martyrology of Donegal (pp. 
310, 438). 


MACKESSOG. See KEssoc. 


MACRA, V. M.—It seems strange 
that a virgin and martyr of the diocese 
of Rheims should be honoured in the 
parish of Uig, in the Lewis, yet “in 
Bernera was a chapel apparently dedi- 
cated to S. Macra the Virgin."—(Orig. 
Par. ii. p. 386.) 


MACREL.—S. Macrel in Kirkibost is 
one of the saints of the Isle of Lewis 
mentioned by Martin.—(Western Isles, 
p. 27.) It is probably some name like 
MacCairill. 


MACWOLOCK. See Vorocus | 


MADDAN.—At Freswick is a chapel 
to S. Maddan.—(N. S. A, Caithness.) 
See Mopan. 


MADIANUS or MADOES.—One of 
the companions of S. Bonifacius.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol. Ixx) He is pro- 
bably the saint honoured at S. Madoes, 
although some hold that holy man to be 
Modocus or Aedan of Ferns. 


MACKESSOG—MAELRUBHA. 


MADOCUS See Mopoc. 


MADRINE. — There are two sup- 
pressed parishes in Wigtonshire called 
Kirkmadrine. Chalmers (Caledonia, vol. 
iii. p. 439) supposed that the name 
Madrine was a corruption of Medan, 
to whom two churches in the locality 
are certainly dedicated. Dr. Stuart, 
judging from the style of the sculp- 
tured stones in the neighbourhood, and 
the probability of a Gaulish dedication 
near Whithern, believes the word to be 
a corruption of Mathurinus, who, accord- 
ing to Molanus' addition to Usuardus, 
is honoured in the diocese of Sens. 
—(Usuard. ed. Soller. p. 663 ; Stuart's 
Sculptured Stones, ii p. 35.) It may 
be that this Madrine is more probably 
Medran, of which name there are in- 
stances at June 6 and June 8 in the 
Martyrology of Donegal. 


MAELRUBHA, M. April 21 (Irish), 
August 27 (Scottish) A.D. 722.—This 
saint was born in 642, of a descent 
shown in the following genealogy, and 
became a member of the monastery of 
his mother's relative Congal at Bangor.

MAELRUBHA. 


Tn 671, at the age of twenty-nine, he went 
to Alba, and after two years founded 
Apurcrossan, where he presided for fifty- 
one years. He also founded a church 
on an island in Lochmaree, which 
takes its name from him. According 
to the Irish accounts, he died a 
natural death, at the age of eighty, 
at Apurcrossan. The Scotch accounts 
make him a martyr, slain by “non- 
nulli malarum cogitationum viri de Nor- 
vagii regniculo,” who wounded him and 
left him for dead, though he was during 
three days consoled by the angels of 
God. A bright light revealed him, and 
after receiving the Body of the immacu- 
late Lamb, he yielded up his spirit at a 
place where a chapel “ ex inciso robore 
satis decenter extructa,” was afterwards 
made the parochial church, and is to this 
day called Urquhard. His body was 
buried in his monastery at Apurcrossan, 
which possessed a sanctuary-girth of 
six miles. The Danes invaded this, and 
soon after perished in a smooth sea. 
Again “ prefati insulani” (this seems to 
mean the Danes) surprised the men of 
Ross, while they were keeping the 
saint’s festival in Contan, and burned 
the church, with above a hundred men 
and women in it, whereupon the Ross men 
attacked them, and slew all save 30 out 
of 500. Lastly, for neglecting the saint’s 
feast in harvest, the houses of the despis- 
ers were burnt, while those of the men 
who respected the saint remained safe.— 
(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol. 892-91.) 
S.Maelrubhahas been confounded with 
S. Ruphus of Capua, from the similarity 
af sound ; and this may account for his 
Scottish commemoration being different 


383 


from that of Ireland. His name, made 
up of consonants apt to be liquefied, 
occurs in many transmutations, such as 
Mulruby, Mulrew, Melriga, Marow, 
Morow, Mury, Murruy, Mareve, Arrow, 
Errew, Olrou, Ro, Rufus, Ruvius; and 
(taking in his title) Summaruff, Samare- 
vis, and Summereve. 
His traces are found at— 

1. Applecross. 

2. Lochcarron. 

3. Gairloch, where is Loch Maree. 
4. Contin, where was Feil Maree. 
5. Urquhart, in the Black Isle.

MAGNUS, K. M., April 16. — The 
Breviary of Aberdeen makes the feast of 
S. Magnus a Duplex majus, and assigns 
to the day two special hymns recounting 
some of his miracles, and provision is 
made for the celebration both of the 
anniversary of his passion and of his 


translation. He was born of a great

bury in the island of Anglesea. Here it 
was that S. Magnus, though refusing to 
fight, calmly recited the Psalter as long 
as the battle lasted. Magnus after this 
escaped to the court of the Scottish 
Edgar. He also at this time occasion- 
ally resided with a bishop in Britain. 
Magnus Barefoot and Erlend, S. Magnus’ 
brother, fell in Ireland in 1102. His 
father Erlend and his uncle Haco had 
previously died in Norway.  Haco, his 
cousin, had seized the whole of Orkney, 
but Magnus, complaining to his overlord 
Eystein, was restored to his father's half 
of Orkney. For some years the cousins

as shown in the pedigree below. From 
his early youth he lived holily; but 
as he approached manhood he fell into 
excesses. Dissensions breaking out in his 
family, Magnus Barefoot, in 1098, came 
to Orkney, and taking with him Mag- 
nus, his brother Erlend, and his cousin 
Haco, continued a predatory voyage 
along the west coast of Scotland, visit-

Galloway, and finally encountering the

reigned amicably together, but Magnus 
having married a Scots woman, and 
visited the court of Henry Beauclere, 
found that Haco had seized all Orkney as 
well as Caithness. After a temporary 
composition dissensions broke out again. 
The belligerents agreed to meet in equal 
numbers in Egilshay, but on landing it 
was found that Haco had come with 
eight instead of two vessels. Magnus 
would not allow a fight. The clansmen 
insisted on the evil of a divided earl- 
dom. Magnus spent the night in prayer, 
and next morning received the Holy 
Eucharist. Then, boldly facing the exe-

cutioner, saying, “Stand before me and 
strike at me with all thy might ; it be- 
seemeth not a prince to be beheaded like 
a thief, he blessed himself, and fell 
before the second blow. His body was 
first buried in Egilshay, then in Christ 
Church, Birsa, by his mother Thora, and 
finally his relies were translated to Kirk- 
wal, where the cathedral was com- 
menced by Earl Ronaldin 1138.—(Grub’s

Shetland.

MALCOLM, K. June 3, 1093.— 
Camerarius (p. 151) at this day gives us 
Saint Malcolm, King of the Scots, third 
of that name, and martyr. He certainly 
fell on S. Brice's day, November 13. See 
the letter from Robert of Dunhelm, Monk 
of Kelso, to the Prior of Tynemouth, 
giving an account of the discovery of the 
bodies of Malcolm and his eldest son 
Edward.— (Bannatyne Miscell. vol. i. 
p. 221) 

The relies of Malcolm and Margaret 
were carried abroad at the Reformation, 


385 


and placed by Philip II. in the Escurial, 
with the inscription, * S. Malcolm, King; 
S. Margaret, Queen.” 


MALCOLM, K. December 3.—Saint 
Malcolm, fourth of that name, surnamed 
the Maiden, is numbered by Camerarius 
(p. 200) among the Scottish saints. 


MALDUFF.—The ancient name of 
the parish of Inveraray in 1304 was 
Kylmalduff.—(Orig. Par. ii. pp. 85, 824.) 
This is Maeldubh.—(Vide Mart. Done- 
gal, in which the name occurs six times.) 

There was a Maidulph, the founder 
of Malmesbury, which derives its name 
from a Celtic saint. It was called 
Maildulfesburch olim Ingelborne.—(See 
Usshers Works, vol iv. p. 446 ; Dug- 
dale's Monasticon Ang., t. i. p. 15.) 

* 'There was in the parts of Scotland a 
certain monk called Maidulph, who was 
so much molested in his own country by 
thieves and robbers, that he could scarce 
live. Knowing that he could not long 
stay there, he fled, and travelling came 
into England. Here, going about the 
country, thinking where God would 
dispose of him, he at length reached 
the Castle of Bladon, in Saxon called 
Ingelbourne Castle, which castle was 
built by a certain British king, the 
eighteenth from Brute, by name Dun- 
wallo, surnamed Molmutius, before the 
incarnation of our Lord about 642 
years. There had once been a city, 
which had been utterly destroyed by 
strangers. The castle remained fortified, 
and stood many years after the incar- 
nation of our Lord, without any dwell- 
ing near it. The royal habitation and 


3D 


386 


manor, as well of Christians as of Pagans, 
was at Cairdurburgh, now called Bruke- 
burg, or otherwise Brokenburg. The 
aforesaid anchorite called Maildulph 
chose to himself a place of hermitage 
under the castle, which place he begged 
for himself of those in the castle, and 
had it granted him, for there was no 
great resort of men. Being here desti- 
tute of necessaries, he chose to himself 
scholars to instruct, to improve the 
meanness of his subsistence by their 
liberality. In a short time those 
scholars instructed in their rudiments 
grew up to a small monastery. For 
Aldelm, being fully informed by their 
example and conversation, added the 
liberal sciences to the fulness of know- 
ledge, and in order fully to acquire 
these, he went into Kent, and studied 
some time at the feet of Adrian the 
philosopher, who was afterwards made 
archbishop ; after which he returned to 
Meldun, and was tonsured in the fellow- 
ship of Maildulph, with his disciples. 
The castle was then in the lordship of 
the bishop Eleutherius, who ruled over 
all the West Saxon country, and gave the 
ground of the monastery, which is now 
called Malmesbury, to S. Aldelm, with 
the pastoral staff."—(Leland, Collectan. 
vol. i. part 2, p. 102.) 

That Maildulph was the first religi- 
ous man who ordained à monastery at 
Malmesbury, then called Ingelbourne 
Castle, Pope Sergius above named suffi- 
ciently declares in the privilege he 
granted to S. Aldelm. 

That Aldelm was under the direction 
of Maildulph and his disciples the 
priest Bede fully shows.—(H. E. lib. v. 


MALDUFF—MALTHEUS.

MALESOCH. — Eccles-Malesoch, or 
Eglis-Malescok, was the ancient name of 
Carluke.—(Orig. Par. vol. i. pp. 115,116.) 
We have also Kilmalisaig.—(O. S. A. 
xix. 314, 324 ; Orig. Par. ii. p. 40.) 


MALIE.—The ancient name of the 
parish of Golspie is Kilmalie. “The 
church (probably dedicated to a saint 
whose name is corrupted to Carden) 
stood at Kilmaly, corrupted Culmalie.”

James Lord S. Colme as heir to his 
father, Oct. 27, 1642 (Retours, Fife, 
629), we find — ^ Dimidium carucate 
terre apud ecclesiam de Sanct Maleing, 
nunc Inchkerie nuncupatam, cum Ca-

Lughair, was his mother. This Dubh- 
thach was chief poet to Laoghaire, son of 
Niall who was king of Erinn at the 
coming of Patrick."—(Mart. Donegal, 
January 14) In the Dunkeld Litany 
we find Mancinach among the virgins 
and widows. 


MANIRUS, B. and C. December 18. 
—Of this saint, honoured at Crathie as S. 
Niniar or Miniar, we know nothing more 
than that he was in Episcopal orders.— 
(V. D. A,, 135, 137, 641. Antiquities 
of Aberdeen and Banff, vol ii. p. 85.) 
The legend in the Breviary of Aber- 
deen is conceived in the same spirit 
as that of S. Ethernan. It alludes 
to the introduction of a more correct 
rite among the wilder and less instructed 
of the Scots, * quos silvestres appel- 
lant, qui inter nemora, rupes, et de- 
serta loca habitant et conversantur,” 
there being two languages, in both of 
which Manirus was versed. The whole 
- legend turns on the more correct ad- 
ministration of the rites of the church, 
in the enforcement of which the saint 
suffered contradiction and persecution ; 
but he did not die a martyr. He is 
honoured in the church of Deitrahit, 
ie, Crahit or Crathie.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. f. xix.a.) Camerarius says he 


387 


was honoured in Balveny, and died in 
824. He gives no authorities. The indi- 
cation of the existence of two languages 
on Deeside deserves consideration.

MAOINENN. September 16.—The 
Trish S. Maoinenn of this day has a fair at 
the Kirk of Doors on the third Tuesday 
of September. This is S. Ninian, who, 
in Aingus and the Martyrology of Tal- 
laght is Moinen Cluana Conaire. Cluain 
Conaire is now Cloncurry in County 
Kildare. Dr. Reeves has noted that in 
the Irish life of S. Ninian, quoted by 
Ussher (Works, vi. 209), we are told that 
to avoid an inopportune visit from his 
mother's relatives, the saint left Can- 
dida-Casa and betook himself to Cluain 
Coner, in Ireland, where he founded a 
great monastery, and after many years 
died. It is difficult to account for the 
Trish designation being attributed to 
him in a part of the country so distant.

vol i p. 437. See NiNIAN. 


MARGARET, Q. and C. June 10, 
and November 16, A.D. 1093.—The life 
of S. Margaret of Scotland comes down 
to us in à memoir by T., who is termed 
sometimes Theodoricus, and sometimes 
Turgotus, a servant of the servants of 
S. Cuthbert (not necessarily the Turgot 
of S. Andrews) addressed in his old 
age (canitie) to Queen Matilda of Eng- 
land, her daughter, spouse of Henry I. 
It is full of instructive notices of 
the state of the Scottish Church and 
Kingdom at the epoch of the Norman 


388 


Conquest of England, and it supplies 
us with the first really authentic history 
of Scotland after the notices in Adam- 
nan and Beda, the Pictish Chronicle 
and the Book of Deer. Between these 
authorities and the work of the author 
of the life of S. Margaret there oc- 
curs a period of which we have 
but scanty hints at facts rather than 
the facts themselves. In that space of 
time events affecting profoundly the 
national existence and manners had 
occurred. The Picts had disappeared, 
name and dynasty; the boundaries of 
Scotland had been extended from the 
Forth and Clyde to the Tweed and 
Solway; nay farther south still, for Car- 
lisle and Holm Cultram were both 
within the Scottish dominions. The 
Danes had ceased to be the scourge of 
the coasts, and Scotland was already a 
great power. Malcolm united under 
his rule races hitherto divided. Not 
only the Picts and Scots, now forced 
into one, but the Britons in Strathclyde 
and Cumberland, the Gall-Gaedheal 
in Galloway, and the Saxons in the 
Lothians, submitted to him. But while 
Scotland emerges from darkness so great 
as regards its civil state, its religious con- 
dition seems to have been bad. Even 
making allowance for the dislike of the 
old Celtic rites on the part of the Angli- 
cisers, thereis evidence sufficient that mat- 
ters had become very lax. In the inqui- 
sition made by David, Prince of Cumbria 
(David L), concerning the lands of the 
See of Glasgow (Regist. Episcop. Glasg. 
t. i p. 3), we read, “ Verumenimvero 
fraudulentus exterminator supradictam 
ecclesiam diu inviolabiliter constare inge- 


- 


MARGARET. 


miscens consuetis versutiis suis post multa 
temporum curricula scandala intollera- 
bilia Cumbrensium ecclesie machinavit.” 
It speaks of them as adhering to “ gentili- 
tatem potius quam fidei cultum," as 
“more pecudumirrationabiliter degentes, " 
as guilty of impudica et scelerosa con- 
tagia," and of * infelicis populi feritatem 
et abhominabilem vitiorum multiplicita- 
tem.” Nor was the religion as practised 
in a better condition. The Scots had 
adhered to many of the old Columbite 
customs. Though they conformed to 
the Catholic Easter, they shortened Lent 
by four days. They refused to com- 
municate on Easter day from supersti- 
tious reverence. Whether the laity 
never communicated, but at the hour of 
death (that they did so is proved by the 
existence of the office of the sick in the 
Book of Deer), or whether it was on 
Easter day only that they refused to 
receive, is not quite certain. Their mass 
was what is termed by the Benedictine 
author, “a barbarous rite,” and was no 
doubt one of the ancient Celtic offices, 
such as we have in the Ashburnham 
Missal. They worked at servile labour 
on the Sundays, and, like the Irish, they 
broke the law of God by marriage with 
a deceased brother's widow. In short, we 
have reason to believe that during this 
period all the fierce and bloody features 
existed in Scotland that are found in 
the Welsh and Irish Christianity, in 
which we see a strange combination of 
faith and immorality, devotion and 
bloodthirsty outrage, a deep sense of 
the supernatural often made concrete by 
the veneration of relics, and a fierce 
untamed violence. 


MARGARET. 


King Malcolm had been trained in 
England, had married an English wife, 
and set himself, by the introduction of 
English customs, to civilise his rude Celtic 
subjects. Commerce began to make 
itself felt, and the Englishmen who were 
discontented with Norman rule, and the 
Normans who were dissatisfied with 
English plunder, alike found a place in 
a kingdom, which, under the fostering 
circumstances of a vigorous and enlight- 
ened rule, was fast springing into great 
political power. The various perambu- 
lations in the Chartularies show the 
proportion of the different races among 
the upper classes. In those days the 
Church was the great humanising 
power, and therefore the great en-

gine employed by the queen in her re- 
forms was the Anglicising clergy. The 
author of the memoir describes the en- 
tire success of the movement in enthu- 
siastic terms, but there is reason to be- 
lieve that the old Celtic element re- 
mained obstinately alive for a long time 
afterwards—nay, in many places sur- 
vived the Reformation. Many a purely 
Celtic saint continued to be the object 
of a local cultus; and the honour paid 
to holy wells, and the frequentation of 
such places of pilgrimage as S. Blane’s, 
or Loch Maree, bear witness to the 
tenacity of the old convictions. It was 
the same in politics. At the death of 
Malcolm there was a Celtic reaction evi- 
denced by the election of Donald Bane.

In a work of the nature of these bio- 
graphical sketches, it would be impos- 
sible to give any adequate idea of the 
edifying life and holy death of this 
princess. Resembling greatly the parallel 
life of S. Elizabeth of Thuringia, as given 


by Canisius, we see here the picture of 
the highest and purest domestic piety of 
the middle age. Attentive to her family, 
sedulous in the discharge of her royal 
duties, S. Margaret yet led the austerest 
and most devout life. One can hardly 


390 


understand how she contrived to com- 
press within the space of one day all 
her exercises of devotion, but we have no 
reason to doubt her biographer. There 
is an atmosphere of calm unexcited 
truthfulness about the narrative, as well 
as an absence of the mythical, which 
commends it to us as the work of an 
eminently truth-loving man, and the in- 
cidental allusions to the current history 
bear the test of all that we know of the 
times. 

She died on the 16th of November 
1093. In 1250 according to Mr. Grub, 
who follows Fordun (Scotich., x. 3, ed. 
Goodall, vol. ii. p. 83), in 1251 according 
to Papebroch, an era noting the begin- 
ning of the decline of the Scottish 
Church in piety and fervour, her relics, 
* inclosed in a grate box of gold set with 
pretious stones,” were translated to the 
high altar of the church of Dunfermline, 
and a feast instituted in honour of the 
occasion. On the 19th of June the 
translation of her relics was kept as a 
feast of the Scottish Church. — (Brev. 
Aberd. pars estiv. fol. i) The Breviary 
of Aberdeen describes her feast as 
* Sancte Margarete Regine que apud Dun- 
fermling sepissime a fidelibus peregrinis 
visitatur."—(Pars estiv. fol. clxii) It 
gives the one miracle of her life, the 
recovery of the Bible from the bottom of 
the stream.—(See Acta Sanct. Bolland. 
Jan. tom. ii. p. 320; Capgrave, Nov. 
Legend. Ang. fol. 225.) 

Butler says that she was canonised 
by Pope Innocent IV. in 1251. Her 
feast was removed by Innocent XIL, in 
1693, from the day of her death to the 
10th of June.—(Alban Butler's Lives of 


MARGARET. 


the Saints, ad diem.) This was done at 
the instance of King James VIL, the 
10th of June being the birthday of his 
son. A curious point of discussion is 
raised by the existence of a document 
lately published (Theiner, Vetera Monu- 
menta Hibernorum et Scotorum, p. 499), 
in which a commission is issued to in- 
quire into a petition by King James, that 
Margaret, formerly Queen of Scotland, 
might be inserted in the catalogue of the 
Saints. An ingenious solution has been 
suggested, that it refers to the amiable 
Margaret of Denmark, wife of James III. 
(see article in Christian Remembrancer, 
vol. 1. p. 333); but, not to mention that 
there is not in history the slightest indi- 
cation that she was esteemed holy in an 
exceptional way, it would appear that 
there really is no authentic record of a 
formal canonisation of the great queen. 
Papebroch, in his Prolegomena (Pinker- 
ton, Vite Antique SS. Scotis, p. 303), 
states that immediately after her death 
her cultus commenced, but attached to no 
day till Innocent IV. solemnly canonised 
her on the occasion of the translation of 
her relics in 1251; and he states that at 
this day “ historia preedictze translationis, 
sed (quod dolemus) initio tenus dumtaxat 
conservata, reperta fuit a Rosweidonostro 
in membraneo MS. S. Salvatoris Ultra- 
jectini: sufficiens tamen ut de pregress4 
canonizatione securi sumus," "There is no 
proof of this. Moreover, the document 
in Theiner asserts that a very great 
devotion to the queen existed, which 
could only apply to the wife of Malcolm. 
It uses no such expression as “nuper de- 
functa," which would have been natural 
in writing of a lady who had died in the

previous year. Its prayer is that she 
should be inscribed in the catalogue of 
the Saints, “ according to the rite and 
custom of the Roman Church.” It as- 
sumes the fact of miracles, which, if per- 
formed at the tomb of the lately de- 
ceased queen, would surely have been 
mentioned by Bishop Lesley and 
Ferrerius. 


MARGARET, Q, IL av. 1486.— 
In 1460, at the suggestion of the king 
of France (Charles VIL, who had been 
chosen arbiter between Scotland and 
Norway in adjusting the claims for 
arrears of the “Annual,” which was paid 
for the possession of the Western Isles 
and Man, according to the original treaty 
between Magnus and Alexander IIT. in 
1286), a marriage was proposed between 
James IIL, then eight years old, and 
Margaret, daughter of Christiern of Nor- 
way and Denmark. Seven years after, 
on Christiern interfering in behalf of 
Tulloch, the bishop of Orkney, who had 
been seized and imprisoned by the Earl, 
intercourse between the kingdoms was 
renewed and the marriage negotiated. 
The islands of Orkney and Shetland 
were pledged for a part of the dowry, 
which was never paid, and the bride, a 
princess of great beauty and accomplish- 
ments, attended by many of the Danish 
nobility, landed at Leith, when the 
marriage ceremony was completed with 
great pomp at Holyrood. She was a 
rare mixture of wisdom and sweetness, 
but was only sixteen at the time of the 
marriage. Her modest and unobtrusive 
character makes little show in history, 
and the king was supposed not to be 


391 


attached to her. She bore him three 
sons—James IV., the Duke of Ross, 
who became Bishop of S. Andrews, 
and the Earl of Mar, who died unmar- 
ried. But all that we know of her is 
that she was singularly good.—(Tytler’s 
Hist. of Scotland, vol. iv. p. 221.) 
His authorities are  Ferrerius and 
Lesley. 


MARIANUS. July 4, av. 1088.— 
The Scottish authorities make S. Mari- 
anus of Ratisbon a Scotsman from 
Dunkeld, but a more exact criticism 
has proved him to be an Irishman from 
Donegal. In a MS. of his own writing, 
now preserved at Vienna, we have his 
latinised name ; and, in an interlineated 
superscription, his Celtic appellation, 
* Muiredach Mac Robartaig," now cor- 
rupted into M‘Grotty, O'Rafferty or 
Rafferty. ^ Marianus left Ireland in 
1067, and died in 1088.—See Paper 
by Dr. Reeves on Marianus Scotus of 
Ratisbon, in Proceedings of the Royal 
Irish Academy, vol vii. p. 290; also 
Wattenbach, Die Kongregation der 
Schotten-Kloster in Deutschland, in the 
Zeitschrift für Christliche Archáologie 
und Kunst, translated, with notes, by Dr. 
Reeves in the Ulster Journal of Archzo- 
logy, vol. vii. pp. 227, 295. There is a me- 
moir of him and his successors, composed 
by an Irish monk of Ratisbon, given in 
the Acta SS. Feb. t. ii pp. 365-372. 
There exists in the Advocates Library 
in Edinburgh a collection of papers on 
the Scots Monasteries in Germany, 
among the MSS. of the late James Den- 
nistoun of Dennistoun. See also an 
article on “The Scottish Religious 


392 


Houses abroad,” in the Edinburgh Re- 
view of January 1864. 


MARIOTA.—Of Mariota we know 
nothing, beyond the following notice in 
the Retours :—Francis Kinloch of Gil- 
merton, Nov. 8, 1569, is retoured heir 
“in terris de Markle cum molendino 
et prepositura et Capella Sanctze Mariotze 
et prebendariorum ad eandem pertinen- 
tium.”—(Retours, Haddington, 388.) 


MARNAN or MARNOCK, B. and C. 
March 1, A.D. 625.—This saint is known 
in Scotland as Marnan, or, with the dimi- 
nutive termination Marnoch or Marnock. 
The legend in the Breviary is filled with 
the praise of his episcopal virtues, espe- 
cially his gift of preaching the Word. 
Men honoured him “tanquam deum in 
terris.” At length, in a holy old age, he 
died, and was honourably buried in the 
church of Abirkerdoure, which is now 
secured and enclosed by the beautiful 
river Duverne—nune pulcherrimo Du- 
verne fluvio munita et vallata—where to 
this day health is restored to the sickly. 

His glorious head is washed every 
Sunday in the year, and the water 
drunk by sick persons to their great 
advantage. 

Certain persons who had plundered 
the land annexed to his church of Abir- 
kerdoure were unable to light the tapers 
which they held in their hands. A chief, 
wishing to carry off a tree from the terri- 
tory of the church at Lochellis, in the 
diocese of Aberdeen, was not able, with 
his men, to carry it beyond the precincts, 
but the clergy easily carried it back.— 
(Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. fol. lx. b. Ixi.) 


MARIOTA—MARNAN. 


S. Erneneus, the son of Crasenus, 
the naughty and despised child who 
sought to touch the hem of S. Colum- 
ba's garment at Clonmacnoise, and 
whose future usefulness was predicted 
by him, is in the Irish Kalendars, at the 
18th of August, identified with S. 
Marnock. Ernin, i. Mernog of Rath- 
noi in Ui Garchon, 4e. in Fotharta of 
Leinster ; and of Cill-draighnech in Ui 
Drona.—(Mart. Donegal p. 223. In 
the Felire he is thus commemorated :— 

Mac Creseni Mernoc 
morais fiadait fairind. 


[Mac Creseni Mernoc 
magnified the Lord with numbers.] 


And Tighernach, at 625, gives “Quies 
Ernaine mic Cresene."—(Reeves' Adam- 
nan, p. 25.) 

Ina perambulation of the lands of the 
church of Aberkeyrdor, called Yochry and 
Achbrady, allusion is made to an oath, 
“sworne tharto apone Sanct Marnoy's 
ferteris (i.e. feretrum) in presens of the 
Kyngis iustice" (Registrum Nigrum de 
Aberbrothok, p. 277); and in the 
next page there is an account of a great 
oath being taken “ capite Sancti Marnani 
presente." His head was washed, and 
carried round the parish of Marnock. 
He was patron of the Innes family, who 
got the thanedom of Aberchirder by an 
heiress in the fourteenth century. 

* About three miles south from the 
church (of Kilfinan), and not far from the 
sea, is to be seen the foundation and a 
small part of the wall of a chapel, sur- 
rounded by a churchyard, on a small 
field called Ard Marnock, i.e. S. Mar- 
nock’s Field. . About 300 yards 
above this chapel, on an eminence, a cell 


MARNAN—MAURITIUS. 


and part of another appears in the end 
of a pile of stones or borradh. ‘ 
There is a tradition in the country 

that the entire cell was where 
S. Marnock retired to do penance."—(0O. 
S. A. xiv. 258.) 

The parish of Aberchirder, in the 
Presbytery of Strathbogie, is also called 
Marnoch. Here, on the second Tuesday 
of March, is Marnoch fair. Near the 
manse is a well called the Saint’s Well. 
—(N. S. A., Banff, 382, 386.) 

Besides the parish of Kilmarnock 
(N. S. A, Ayr, 535), we have him at 
Leochel, as indicated in the legend (V. D. 
A. p. 597) ; at Foulis-Easter, where the 
church was dedicated by David de Bern- 
ham on Aug. 30, 1242 (Regist. Priorat. 
S. Andree, p. 348) ; at Benholm, where 
is S. Marny's Well; at Little Dunkeld, 
where is Dalmarnock (O. S. A. vi. p. 
381); at Inchmarnock, a suppressed 
parish, now united to Glentaner and 
Aboyne (0. S. A. xix. p. 296) ; at Inch- 
marnock, an island on the coast of Bute 
(N. S. A., Bute, 96, 104). 

In 1348, Adam, Bishop of Brechin, 
in dealing with the lands of the chapelry 
of Boith, appoints that the Vicar of 
Monikie shall every year celebrate the 
Mass de Sancto Marnoco (Regist. Epis- 
copat. Brechin. p. 12); and the Lady 
Cristina de Valoniis makes a grant to 
the same chapelry of the land of Bot- 
mernok (ibid. p. 14). 

Among the Scone Charters is à gift 
to the convent of the “ Capella Sti. Mer- 
noci infra Fossata.”—(Liber Ecclesie de 
Scon, p. 186.) In the same collection 
there is a reference to the tenement 
called * Sanct Mernockis Croft, with the 


393 


chapel-yaird and chapel of Sanct Mer- 
nock," etc.— (Ibid. p. 231.) 


MARNOCH (Dubh, or Duff, i.e. the 
Black) May 3.—In Scotland, the 
commemoration of S. Marnoch the 
Black, whose sanctity is celebrated 
by the Scottish historians.— (Memorial 
of British Piety, p. 72. Ussher, 
Works, vol vi p. 199. He appears 
in Dempster at Feb. 22, as “In 
Banzenoch Marnokdubi Eremitz.” 


-MAURA. November 3.—We know 
no more of this saint than what we learn 
from her legend in the Breviary of 
Aberdeen at this day. (See BAvA.) We 
find allusion to “ Terre de Popill vulgari- 
ter vocate Sanct Mawris landis in con- 
stabularia de Hadington.”— (Lib. Re- 
sponsionum in Scaccario, 1545-61, MS. 
Gen. Register House.) Kilmaurs in Ayr- 
shire is her church, 


MAURITIUS, MACHAR, or MO- 
CUMMA, B. and C. November 12.— 
It was not at all uncommon for Irish 
saints to take classical names, and 
therefore there is nothing to startle 
us in the fact that S. Machar is 
here termed Mauritius. His father 
was Syacanus (recte Fiachna), an Irish 
chieftain, and his mother Synchena 
(recte Finchoemia). He was baptized 
by S. Colman, who named him Mocum- 
ma. He early exhibited the signs of 
sanctity, and a pretty scene of angels 
singing around the cradle of the holy in- 
fant is described. After recalling to life 
his younger brother, who being placed 
in bed with him, was warmed by the 


35 


394 


touch of his flesh, despising the king- 
dom, he was handed over to the instruc- 
tion of S. Columba, who sent him to 
preach the gospel in an island called 
Mula Here he healed seven lepers, 
and turned into stone a fierce boar, 
which stone remains unto this day.— 
(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol clv.) He 
is the Tochannu Mocufir-cetea of S. 
Columba's family.—' Sanctum virum 
gignit Ibernia, educavit illum Albania, 
eujus corpus in reverencia Turonensis 
tenet ecclesia.”—(Ibid. fol. clvi.; Reeves’ 
Adamnan, p. 246.) The Martyrology of 
Aberdeen at this date calls him arch- 
bishop of Tours ; thus, “ Depositio Sti. 
Mauricii ejusdem civitatis archiepiscopi 
qui apud Scotos Machorius nominatur, 
apud Hybernicos vero Mochrumma," 
Dochonna and Tochannu are varieties 
of the same name.—(Reeves' Adamnan, 
p. 246.) In the life of S. Columba by 
Manus O'Donell chief of  Tirconnel, 
are some passages from the lives of 
contemporary saints, especially S. 
Mochonna or Machar of Aberdeen. 
— (Colgan, Trias Thaum, p. 435 a; 
Reeves’ Adamnan, pref. xxxiv.) The 
Acts themselves do not exist. The 
memoir in the Breviary of Aberdeen is 
evidently taken from them. 

The saint determined to accompany S. 
Columba into Alba, and remained some 
time in Hy. Then he was ordained 
bishop, and sent into Pictavia with 
twelve companions, being commanded 
to stop at a place where a river took 
the form of a pastoral staff. In that 
place he built a church, and, as already 
stated, turned a savage beast, which 
haunted the neighbourhood, into stone. 


MAURITIUS. 


There he brought many to the faith, 
erected many churches, extinguished 
the worship of false gods, and cast 
down idols, Then S. Columba took him 
to Rome, where he was honourably re- 
ceived by Pope Gregory, who gave him 
the name of Mauritius, and postulated 
him to the vacant see of Tours. Re- 
turning from Italy S. Columba and his 
companions turned aside to that city, 
where they were then in search of the 
remains of S. Martin. On being asked 
to discover them by prayer, the saint of 
Iova consented if he might have any- 
thing that was found with the body. 
—(See Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 324.) 
This proved to be his missal, which the 
inhabitants grudged, and only consented 
to part with if Mauritius were made 
their bishop. This was done, and he 
aecordingly presided over them for the 
space of three years and a half. Then 
came the long-waited-for day of his 
dissolution, when, visited from heaven by 
S. Martin, from Iova by S. Columba, 
and by the adorable Son of God him- 
self, surrounded by the heavenly host of 
apostles and blessed spirits, in the pre- 
sence of his convent, amid the sounds of 
celestial harmony, he went to his reward. 
—(Colgan, Trias Thaum., pp. 435 a; 436 
b; also p. 391 a.) 

Mr. Bradshaw has discovered in the 
University Library at Cambridge a 
metrical life of this saint, which he 
supposes to have been composed by 
Barbour, in his extreme old age. 

Mauritius is also found at Kildrummie, 
where is a place called Macker's Haugh. 
—(V. D. A. p. 589.) There are two 
parishes of the name in Aberdeenshire. 


MAWARROCK—MAYOTA. 


MAWARROCK.—This may be the 
Abbas Barrochus of Giraldus Cambrensis 
(quoted by Ussher, Works, vi 520), 
who, following the usual custom of the 
Trish, betook himself to Rome, and in 
going thither or returning visited S. 
David. He is associated with Lecraw 
or Lecropt. In Wigtonshire we have 
Barn-barroch. But the circumstance 
that Lecropt, though situated in the dio- 
cese of Dunblane, was under the juris- 
diction of that of Dunkeld, inclines one 
to the supposition that Mawarrock is

MAXENTIA, V. and M. November 
20.—This is Easscon bishop, 4e Mo- 
Easconn (another case of unsexing).— 
(See note by Dr. Reeves to the Martyr- 
ology of Donegal p. 314) On the 
other hand, ZEngus the Culdee gives, at 
Nov. 19, 


La Maxim mor ngerat. 
[With Maximus the great champion]— 


although the Maxim of ZEngus is at 
the 19th, and may be different from 
Eacon, who is at the 20th. In the Martyr- 
ology of S. Riquier we have “In terri- 
torio Silvanectensi Sancte Maxentiz 
virginiset martyris."—(Usuard, ed. Soller. 
p. 688.) At Nov. 20, in the Felire of 
Angus, we have— 


Guid Escon la Froechan, 
An bladma bale belaib. 
[I invoke Escon with Froechan, 
A noble vessel with a fine mouth.] 


The note on Escon [i.e. uneleansed] is 
* qx, bliadain boi cen baistind (30 years he 
remained unbaptized), et ideo dicitur, sed 


395 


non verum." Perhaps it is one of those 
cases where a similarity of sound has 
caused the Celtic commemoration to be 
held on the same day with that of the 
Continental saint, as in the case of S. 
Ruffus and S. Maelrubha, or the two SS. 
Reguli. 


MAYOTA or MAZOTA, V. Decem- 
ber 23.—8. Mazota is connected with 
Abernethy and the dedication of the neigh- 
bouring lands to S. Brigida, of which we 
have the record in the Pictish Chronicle. 
(Skene, Chronicles of the Picts and Scots, 
pp- 6, 28, 399.) The story in the legend 
of the Breviary of Aberdeen (pars hyem. 
fol xxii.) is different. Graverdus, son 
of Domath, the distinguished king of 
the Picts, and cousin of S. Brigida, while 
fighting against the Britons, is super- 
naturally warned to send for her to 
Hibernia, and to obey her precepts. S. 
Brigida obeyed the summons, and with 
nine holy virgins came from Hibernia 
to Scotia, and settled at Abirnethy 
close to the Taye on the south, in which 
place she erected a basilica in honour 
of Almighty God and the Virgin Mary, 
in which the king with all his family 
was baptized. Mazota was the most 
remarkable of these virgins, and she fol- 
lowed in all things the steps of Brigida. 
The king of the Picts promised that the 
church should be dedicated by S. Patrick, 
at that time dwelling in Scotia, and there 
Mazota with the other virgins continued 
to serve God, till they all died and were 
buried. No tongue can tell the miracles 
that God in heaven caused to take place 
by her agency. In her honour the 
church of Dulmaok on the Dee was 


396 


erected, and her day kept on the xi. 
kal. of January. 

At Dulmaok or Drummoke is S. 
Maikie’s well She is also called Mayot. 
—(0. S. A. vol. iii. p. 315; V. D. A. pp. 
274, 596; Ussher's Works, vi. pp. 256, 
257 ; Boethius, Scotor. Hist. lib. ix. fol. 
180a, ed. 1571; N. S. A, Aberdeen, 
872, 873.) 

The story of the Nine Maidens and 
the Dragon at Strathmartin occurs also 
at Forbes, Aberdeenshire. 


MEDANA, V. November 19.—The 
Trish Kalendar at Nov. 18 has Midh- 
nat, V., of Cill Liuchaine, now Killucan, 
in Westmeath. The Scottish account 
of her is as follows:—Saint Medana, 
a native of Ireland, fleeing from the 
admiration of a soldier, came in a vessel 
with two handmaidens only to Scot- 
land, to the upper parts of Galvidia, 
which are called Ryndis, where she 
lived a life of labour and poverty. The 
soldier pursued her, whereupon she and 
her maidens embarked upon a stone, 
which floated thirty miles to a place 
called Farnes, where now the relics of 
the holy virgin rest. The soldier still 
pursued her, and passed, without notic- 
ing it, the house where she lodged with 
her maidens, but his attention was 
drawn to it by the crowing of a cock. 
She now climbed into a tree, and finding 
that it was her face and eyes that were 
the soldier’s attraction, she plucked out 
her eyes. The soldier repented, and the 
virgin descending from the tree washed 
her wounds in a fountain which then and 
there sprang up. She died on the 31st of 
October, but her festival was observed on 


MEDANA—MENYTHOCK. 


the second of the octave of S. Martin, She 
ended her days near the blessed bishop 
and confessor Ninian.—(Brev. Aberd., 
pars estiv. fol. clviii.) She is omitted by 
King and Camerarius. The remains of 
S. Medan's Chapel are still to be seen in 
the bay of Luce. It is a natural cave, 
to which masonry has been added.— 
(Muir, Characteristics of Old Church 
Architecture, pp. 2, 3.) There is a 
parish of Kirkmaiden in Wigtonshire, 
now united to Glasserton.—(N. S. A., 
Wigton, p. 208.) Another in the deanery 
of the Rynds; a third in the parish of 
Stranraer. Mr. Skene thinks she is 
Modwena, who is called Edana, and that 
Edinburgh and the Maiden Castle may 
have taken their names from her. 


MEMME. — The church of Scoonie 
was dedicated to her by David de Bern- 
ham on the iv. kal June 1243.— 
(Regist. Priorat. S. Andree, p. 348.) 
She may be MoDWENA, q. v. 


MENIMIUS.— In 1286-9, Symon, 
thane of Aberkerdor, founded a chapel 
to S. Menimius on the banks of the 
“ Duffhern," or Deveron, in the parish 
of Marnoch.—(Antiquities of Aberdeen 
and Banff, ii. p. 162.) See MoNANUS. 


MENYTHOCK.—Among the inter- 
esting documents printed in the 
Register of the Priory of S. Andrews, 
in which the charters of the ancient 
Culdean establishment of Monymusk, 
which became a cell of that priory, have 
been preserved, we find a confirmation 
by Pope Innocent in the year 1211, 
in which he regulates the terms ‘on 


MERCHARD—MERINUS. 


which the Culdees were to continue to 
have certain rights in respect of the 
Bishop of S. Andrews, and that among 
these should be their free possession of 
a half-carucate of the land Eglismeny- 
thok by name, which they had held by 
the gift of Bishop Robert of good 
memory.—(Reg. Priorat. S. And., p. 371.) 
This name occurs under different spell- 
ings :—Eglismenigcott (ibid. p. 361); 
Eglismatok (Antiquities of Aberdeen 
and Banff, vol iii p. 497); Eglismene- 
thok (ibid. p. 498). A placein the parish 
of Monifieth is called Ecclesmonichty. 

From the analogy of the other places 
in Scotland where the Eglais generally 
precedes the name of the local saint, we 
must presume that that is the case here ; 
but who he is, or what is the original 
form of his name, it is impossible to 
ascertain. 


MERCHARD. See YRCHARDUS. 


MERINUS, or MEADHRAN. B. and 
C. September 15.—The great order of 
-Clugny was not represented in Scot- 
land in any measure adequate to its 
importance on the Continent. It may 
be that this magnificent institution, 
founded by Abbot Berno in 940, and 
raised to its greatest splendour by his 
successor S. Odo, had lost some of its 
fervour before the process of engrafting 
the Continental orders on the old Celtic 
foundations commenced in North Britain. 
Paisley (with its cell at Fayle), Cross- 
raguel, and Hy, were the only houses in 
Scotland which owed subjection to the 
one abbot of the order. When the rule 
was introduced from Wenlock, in Shrop- 


397 


shire, after a temporary resting-place at 
Renfrew, the Church of Paisley was 
dedicated to S. Milburga, S. James, and 
S. Merinus, thus indicating a previous 
local veneration.—(Regist. de Passelet, 
p. iv.) 

The acts of S. Merinus, in the Brevi- 
ary of Aberdeen, are very circumstantial. 
Bishop Merinus was given by his 
parents to S. Comgal, to be trained in the 
monastery of Bangor, where he eventu- 
ally assumed the monastic habit and 
became prior. His rule was a gentle 
one. Once, when Finnian of Movilla 
came to the monastery in the absence 
of S. Comgal, and asked for milk, of 
which there was none, the cellarer, 
at the bidding of S. Merinus, was told 
to bring some from the cellar, which 
was accordingly done, and  distri- 
buted among them that sat at meat. 
He laid the pains of childbirth on an 
Irish King who contemned him. He 
was seen by one of the community in 
his cell, on one occasion, to be sur- 
rounded by a heavenly light, and on 
another occasion he recalled to life one 
of the brethren who had fallen down 
overcome by thirst and fatigue in the 
valley of Colpdasch. At length, full of 
miracles and holiness, he slept in the 
Lord at Pasley, and in his honour the 
said church is dedicated to God.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars estiv. fol. evi.) 

That a colony from Bangor should 
come to Paisley is not at all improbable. 
In the Life of S. Kieran, at March 5, in 
Colgan's Acta SS. Hib. (p. 461), there is 
a notice of a S. Medranus, who is men- 
tioned in the lost Kalendar of Cashel 
with a S. Tomanus:—“SS. Medranus et 


398 


Tomanus in una ecclesia in Britannica 
Arcluidensi.”—(Ibid. p. 465 a, note 31.) 
Paisley is within easy distance of Dum- 
barton. Colpdasch has not been iden- 
tified. 

Camerarius, who makes his day the 
17th, states that he was Abbot of New- 
battle, in the Lothians. This is im- 
possible, but we find traces of him— 

1. In the parish of Kelton, in Kirk- 
cudbright. “There is in the south-east 
boundary of the parish the vestige of 
an ancient chapel and churchyard, called 
Kirk Mirren, now entirely neglected, 
and of which nothing is known but the 
locality and the name.”—(N. S. A., Kirk- 
cudbright, p. 170; O. S. A. viii. p. 297.) 

2. In the parish of Kilmaronock, a 
chapel, still known as S. Mirren's Chapel 
(marking by the name of its patron saint 
some old connection with the abbey of 
Paisley), stands now in ruins upon Inch 
Murryn, the largest island of Lochlo- 
mond.—(Orig. Par. i. p. 35.) 

3. At Kilsyth there is à remarkable 
spring, on the south of Woodend, called 
S. Mirrin’s Well.—(Orig. Par. i. p. 43.) 

4. In the parish of Coylton is a farm 
called Knock Murran.—(N. S. A., Ayr, 
p. 656.) 

5. In the parish of Edzell, on the 
south side of the North Esk, is the burn 
of Murran, but there are no distinct 
traces of his memory anywhere on the 
east coast of Scotland. 


MERNOC,B.andC. October25.—No 
account of this saint is given in the Bre- 
viary of Aberdeen. The collect only says, 
* Deus, qui beato Mernoco confessore tuo 
atque pontifice in tui nominis virtute in- 


MERNOC—MICHAEL. 


firmitatibus variis sanitatem  largiris." 
King says that he *deit at Kilmaronoke, 
in Cuninghame, under King Crathlin- 
thus" This would seem to be another 
saint from that of Aberchirder — the 
name of Ernin, which is the origin of 
Mernoc, not being uncommon. This 
saint was a disciple of S. Brendan's, and 
is mentioned in all the lives of him. 

In Fordun's description of the Scot- 
tish Islands he gives * Inchemernoc sive 
insula Sancti Mernochi et ibi cella mona- 
chorum."— (Scotichron. lib. ii. c. 10, ed. 
Goodall, vol. i. p. 45.) 


METHVEN. November 6.—In the 
parish of Fowlis Wester, in Perthshire, 
* on the margin of the Almond, at the 
bridge of Buchanty, S. Methven, the 
local and tutelary saint of the parish, 
had a chapel which is now demolished." 
—(N. S. A, Perthshire, pp. 255, 260.) 

S. Methvanmas' market is held at 
Fowlis annually on the 6th November. 
The name does not seem to be Celtic, yet 
Mart. Donegal, Oct. 19, has Ethbinus— 
Mo-Ethbin would easily make Methven. 


MICHAEL, A. November 18, cir. 
1148.—At Bangor, in Down, which he 
restored, S. Malachi O’Morgair healed 
a cleric, Michael, of dysentery, by sending 
something from his own table. “A 
second time he cured in him a great 
infirmity both in body and mind; 
thenceforth he clung to God and to 8. 
Malachi, his servant. And now, as we 
have heard, he presides over a monastery 
situated in Scotland—Preest cuidam 
monasterio sito in partibus Scoti»: et 
hoc novissimum omnium qus ille fun- 


MIDDANUS—MIDHAISE. 


davit."—(S. Bernardi Vita S. Malachi, 
c. xii) 

S. Malachi twice visited Scotland. 
He visited King David * in quodam cas- 
tello suo," and healed hisson. "Then he 
went on to Crugelton, in the south-west 
of Galloway (N. S. A., Wigton, p. 28), 
and to the Ecclesia Sti. Michaelis, and 
lastly to a port called Laperasperi, 
(Lapasperi in Messingham) probably 
some bay opposite Ireland, and near 
Portpatrick. There he constructed an 
oratory surrounded by a vallum, similar 
to the Irish Raths, * construitur de 
virgis in sepem textis oratorium ipso ju- 
bente, ipso operante pariter. Consumma- 
tum circumdedit vallo, atque interjacens 
spatium in coemiterium benedixit."—(S. 
Bernardi Vita S. Malachi, c. xvii. ; O'Han- 
lon's Life of S. Malachy, p. 81. His 
second visit was just before he left 
Ireland to die. He came to a place 
called Viride Stagnum, where he had 
prepared to found an abbey. There 
he left some brethren, whom he had 
brought for the purpose, and then bade 
them farewelL--(S. Bernardi Vita 8. 
Malachi, e. xxx. 68.) This was pro- 
bably the abbey of Michael. — (See 
O'Hanlon's Life of S. Malachy O'Mor- 
gair, p. 157.) It is otherwise called, 
by the pretty Cistercian style, Saulseat 
(Sedes Animarum). The abbey has 
disappeared. The Viride Stagnum, of 
which the water is coloured green by 
some vegetable matter, still abides. The 
work of man perisheth, God’s work re- 
maineth for ever. 


MIDDANUS. April 29.—At this day 
Camerarius gives a S. Middanus, abbot 


399 


of the monastery of Holywood, and 
refers to Lesleus, Hist. Scot. lib. v. 

The Dunkeld Litany has a bishop styled 
Medanach. Probably it is a disguised 
name for either Modan or Mo-aedhan. 

This is probably that S. Medan, of 
whom we have a trace on the Braes of 
Angus, at’ Airlie, where, within this 
century, “ Maidie’s bell” was sold as a 
bit of old iron, We have the follow- 
ing interesting entry regarding it in the 
Cortachy Charters :— 

* Instrument dated within the Castle 
of Airlie, on 5th June 1447, on a resig- 
nation by Michael David of the Bell of 
St. Medan, of which he was tenant 
and hereditary possessor, into the hands 
of John Ogilvy of Lentrethyn, knight, 
the superior of the said bell: after which 
the said Sir John gave the bell with its 
pertinents to Lady Margaret Ogilvy, 
Countess of Moray, his spouse, for her 
liferent use. Witnesses—Sir Walter 
Ogilvy of Deskford; James Ogilvy, 
William Cargill of Lasigiston, Esquires ; 
Duncan Stronoch senior, and Duncan 
junior, his son, burgesses of Monross ; 
Patrick de Fenton, and Edward Pedy, 
with many others."—(See Spalding Mis- 
cellany, vol. iv. p. 118.) A fine spring 
and knoll, close to the church of Airlie, 
is known by the name of S. Madden. 
—(Jervise, Memorials of Angus and 
Mearns, p. 274; Proceed. Soc. Antiq. 
Scot. v. 355.) “ Maidie’s well" is the 
name of a spring near Ecclesmaldie 
(now Inglismaldie), in the Mearns. 


MIDHAISE.—The poetical name of 
King Constantine, as given him iy 
Berchan. See CONSTANTINE II.

MIRAN. See MERINUS. 


MIRENUS.—One of the saints who 
accompanied: S. Regulus. — (Fordun, 
Scotichron. lib. ii. c. 59, ed. Goodall, t. 
i p. 95.) 


MOANUS, C.—We know nothing of 
this saint save that he is the patron of 
Portmoak, to which he gives his name. 
He is associated with S. Stephen in the 
dedication of that church by Bishop 
David de Bernham in 1243. * Eodem 
anno x. kl Aug. dedicata est ecclesia 
Sti. Stephani martyris et Sti Moani 
confessoris de  Pormuoch ab eodem 
episcopo." — (Regist. Priorat. Sti. An- 
dree, p. 348.) We have him as Moach 
in the Dunkeld Litany ; and at De- 
cember 19, in Dempster, we have S. 
Brandan, “ qui a Mooch invitatus sep- 
tentrionis insulas circumivit et pietate 
imbuit. Moanus may be a softening 
of the Irish Muadhan. 


MOBHI. October 12, av. 544.— 
In Lord Bute’s -Portiforium (referred to 
in the Preface, p. xxiv.) the name of 8. 
Mobhi is introduced in a later hand, 
the only indication of the worship of this 
saint in Scotland. In the Drummond 
Kalendar we have the natal day of * the 
most blessed and venerable Mobi, who, 
without nose or eyes, and with a plain 
face, was, as is reported, conceived and 
born of a dead woman." He is called 
Clarainech (the flat-faced), and was abbot 
of Glasnevin, on the brink of the Liffey. 
Berchan was his other name. He was 
visited by Columceille, who found him 
teaching fifty scholars, among whom 


MIRAN—MODAN. 


were Cainnech, Ciaran of Cluain, and 
Comgall—(See Reeves Adamnan, pp. 
Ixxii. 160) Mobhi urged Columcille not 
to accept any land without his leave. 
When Aedh, son of Ainmire, offered 
Durrow to him, he refused to accept it, 
but was met by two of Mobhi's people, 
who brought him his girdle and his per- 
mission to hold the land.—(Martyrology 
of Donegal, p. 275.) 

The reverence for this suffering saint 
must not be regarded as the admiration 
of that which is merely strange or ab- 
normal, such as the Muirghein, or sea- 
maiden of the 27th of January; on 
the contrary, the combination of high 
spiritual gifts, with a very suffering 
body, is just what we should expect 
io elicit the highest admiration and 
deepest reverence from an imaginative 
race like the Irish Celts. Lanigan doubts 
whether Ciaran and Comgall were his 
pupils.—(Lanigan, Eccles. Hist. of Ire- 
land, ii. 76.) 


MOCHOAT. August 9.—The Aber- 
deen Martyrology at this day gives us 
“In Scocia Mochoat Confessoris." See 
MacBHUTUS. Mr. Skene thinks that 
this is S. Mazota. 


MOCHOEMHOG. See KEVOCA. 


MOCUTHEMNE. A». 663.— This 
was Luguid Mocuthemne, one of the 
twelve disciples of S. Columba. Ussher 
and Colgan separate the names. He is 
left out in Fordun's enumeration.— 
(Fordun, lib. iii. c. 26, ed. Goodall, t. i. 
p.131) See Luau. 


MODAN, C. and A. February 4.— 


MODAN. 


Not to be confounded with S. Medana 
and S. Middanus, are two S. Modans in 
the Scottish lists, one an abbot at 
this date, and another a bishop at the 
14th of November. The legend of the 
former in the Breviary, though not sup- 
plying many incidents, is verified by 
the dedication of the churches he is said 
to have founded. It runs as follows :— 

The venerable father Modanus was 
the reverenced and most religious father 
of many monks. From the very begin- 
ning of his life he passed his days under 
the monastic rule and habit, in poverty, 
chastity, and obedience, as a faithful 
soldier and servant of Jesus Christ, con- 
tinually warring against the devil, the 
flesh, and the fleeting world, with the 
armour of faith, virtue, and righteous- 
ness. Armed with these he followed 
Christ and his apostles in the preaching 
of the word, with manifest signs follow- 
ing. 

Casting aside riches, royal descent, 
and earthly possessions, he clothed him- 
self in the lowly cowl, that he might 
become the heir of Christ, in frugality 
and sparingness of food subduing his 
lower nature, content with bread and 
water, never using wine or flesh, but 
only herbs and draughts from the spring. 
By thus appeasing his hunger and thirst, 
he so brought his body under that he 
became a mirror of religion, and a model 
of life in the way of truth, virtue, and 
holiness. His labours were most suc- 
cessful. Rightly on this holy one and 
beloved of God was the name Modanus 
bestowed, as if “ modos odens vanos," 
hating all evil customs ; for his habits 
were so angelic that what he lacked 


401 


of heavenly grace he obtained by his 
prayers; and he so tamed the external 
senses of sight and hearing, which have 
been termed the windows of death, that 
he never experienced the irregular 
motions to sin. 

For truly he closed those windows 
with the bolts of divine fear and love, 
and by chastity banished sensuality 
from the hearts of many of the sons of 
iniquity ; he cast down anger by 
patience; he extinguished envy by 
love; he prostrated pride before hu- 
mility ; he overcame sloth by diligence 
in watching and prayer, and subdued 
every vice by its opposite virtue. So 
much so that the whole Scotic race who 
lived on the west side of the river of 
Forth, or Scottish sea, and at Falkirk, 
became imbued with his doctrine. 

When the aforesaid race of the Scoti 
had been converted to the inviolate 
faith of Christ by the merits, miracles, 
and preaching of blessed Modanus and 
the disciples who accompanied him, as 
has been told above, the blessed saint, 
worn out with excessive labours and 
divine studies for the salvation of that 
race as well as his own, was so ex- 
hausted that he could scarce walk, al- 
though his mind was still active and 
ready to preach; wherefore he retired 
to a more secret spot near the ocean of 
Scotia, not far from Dunbertane and 
Lochgarloch, in a place sequestered 
from man, near the sea, and surrounded 
by high mountains. After many won- 
derful miracles he fell asleep in the 
Lord, in which place the parochial 
church of Rosneth stands dedicated to 
his honour, and his most sacred relics 


3F 


402 


rest and are profoundly venerated in a 
chapel in the cemetery of the said church. 
—(Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. fol. li. lii.) 

Camerarius at this day has a S. Mo- 
dan, abbot of Dryburgh, A.D. 522, 
whom he identifies with our saint ; but, 
not to mention that his mission seems 
to have been to the Picts and Strath- 
clyde Britons, and not to the Angles, 
there is no proof that there existed at 
Dryburgh any religious house before the 
Premonstratensian Abbey, founded by 
Hugo de Morville in the reign of David 
I, unless the fact of the subjection of 
Woodburn in Antrim implied that there 
had been an original Scoto-Irish founda- 
tion.—(Spotiswoode, apud Keith’s Scot- 
tish Bishops, ed. Russel, p. 400.) There 
are two Irish Modans, both bishops— 
Modan of Carnfurbaidhe, in Connaught, 
celebrated on the 6th of March, who died 
in 561,and Modan of Airegal Muadain, in 
Ulster, whose day is the 30th of August. 
Colgan refuses to identify the Scotch S. 
Modan with either of these.—(Acta SS. 
Hib. p. 253.) His churches are— 

l. Roseneath, in Dumbartonshire, a 
promontory formed by the Gareloch 
and Loch Long, which probably acquired 
from this saint an early character of 
sanctity, for, according to Dr. Reeves, 
the name in Celtic, Rosneveth, means 
the Promontory of the Sanctuary. Some- 
times it was called simply Neveth, the 
Sanctuary.— (Orig. Par. i. 28. On the 


meaning of the word see also Petrie’s . 


Round Towers, p. 57.) 

2. Kilmadan, a parish in Argyleshire, 
known anciently as Glenduisk and Glen- 
daruell, variously styled Kilmoden, Kil- 
modden, Kilmuddane, and Kilvowan.— 


MODAN. 


(Orig. Par. ii. 55; O. S. A. iv. pp. 337- 
342.) 

3. Balmhaodan, the old name of 
Ardchattan, where are the ruins of the 
ancient church and the saint’s well— 
(N. S. A., Argyle, p. 498.) 

4. Falkirk, the ancient Eglais Breac 
or Varia Capella. 

5. The High Church of Stirling. 

6. Perhaps S. Maddan's chapel at 
Freswick may be referred to this saint. 
See MADDAN. 


MODAN, B. and C. November 14. 
—The Breviary of Aberdeen supplies us 
with no particulars as to this saint, save 
that he was honoured at Philorth, now 
known as Fraserburgh.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars estiv. fol clxi) The Martyrology 
of Aberdeen says he was honoured *apud 
Falkirk," where his arm was long kept. 
Boece (Bellenden's transl vol ii. p. 58, 
ed. 1821), speaking of the days of King 
Congallus, says, “In they days war 
among us Colmane, Medane, and Mo- 
dane, gret precheouris." 

This S, Modan is termed * Middane, 
patron of Fillorthe,” by King, the 
locality influencing the pronunciation. 
—(V. D. A. p. 432.) He is also found at 
Fintray, though the church is dedicated 
to S. Giles.—(Ibid. p. 245.) The mini- 
ster has in his possession a silver cup 
belonging to the parish, bearing the date 
of 1632, said by tradition to have been 
formed of the silver head of S. Meddan, 
ihe tutelar saint of the parish; which, 
in the days of popish superstition, was 
wont to be carried through the parish in 
procession, for the purpose of bringing 
down rain, or clearing up the weather,

as circumstances might require.—(N. S. 
A., Aberdeen, p. 168.) 

To this saint we must attribute Auch- 
medden (N. S. A., Aberdeen, p. 262), in 
the parish of Aberdour, near Philorth, 
and Pitmedden, in the parish of Udny. 
—(Ibid. p. 135.) 


MODOC, B. and C. January 31.— 
This is the great S. Aedan of Ferns, so 
celebrated in the hagiology of Ireland 
and Wales. See an exhaustive account 
of him in Dr. Reeves’ Paper “On some 
ecclesiastical bells in the collection of 
the Lord Primate,' read before the 
Royal Irish Academy, Dublin, 1864.— 
(Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, 
vol. viii. p. 446; also by Dr. Moran, in 
the Irish Ecclesiastical Record, April 
1871, vol. vii. pp. 312-325.) S. Moedoc 
vulgarly is called S. Mogue. The simple 
form of his name is Aedh (Aeda, Aidus, 
Aiduus, ZEdeus, Edus, Hugh); with the 
diminutive it is Aedhan (Aedan, Aedanus, 
Aidanus, Edanus) ; with the honorific pre- 
fixit is Moedoc (Modocus, Maidocus, Mai- 
doc, Madóck, Madoes, Mogue). He was 
born in 558 at Inis-breaghmuigh (East 
Breffny). His father's name was Sedna, 
eighth in descent from Colla Uais, 
king of Ireland in 336. His mother 
was Eithne of Tirawley. As a child he 
was a hostage to Ainmire, king of Ire- 
land in 568 ; after that he studied along 
with S. Lasrian or Molaissi of Deve- 
nish in Lough Earne. After a sojourn 
in Leinster he betook himself to 8. 
David’s monastery, Killmuine, in Wales. 
Here he remained some time, renowned 
for sanctity. He returned to Ui- 
Ceinnselaigh in Ireland, was mixed up in 


403 


the dissensions of his native country, 
and on the success of his half-brother, 
King Brandubh, he had Ferns assigned 
to him as a see. He returned to Wales 
on a visit to S. David before he died, 
then, returning to Ireland, he survived 
till 628. While he is well remem- 
bered in Wales as Aeddan Foeddog, 
there is no record of his visiting Scot- 
land. In Scotland he is commemorated 
at Kilmadock. “The ancient monas- 
tery of S. Madocus, now called Kilma- 
dock, where the late church stood, is 
quite demolished. To this monastery 
belonged six chapels within the parish. 
Most of the ancient families bury at 
Kilmadock, where the minister still re- 
sides, with his manse and glebe."—(O. 
S. A. xx. p.81.) S. Madoes (O. S. A. iii. 
p.568), in the Carse of Gowrie,or Semmi- 
dores (N. S. A., Perth, 607, 624), may be 
his, but probably it belongs to S. Madi- 
anus, the companion of S. Boniface. Per- 
haps also Balmadies in Forfarshire takes 
its name from him.—(O. S. A. xiv. p. 602.) 

His life is given by Capgrave (Nov. 
Legend. fol. ii. verso). There his father's 
name is given as Sedia, and at the end it 
is said, “This saint is called, in the life 
of S. David, Aidanus, but in his own 
life, as appears above, he is termed 
Aidus, and at Menevia, in the church 
of S. David, he is called Moedok, which 
is Irish, and there he is held in great 
honour.”—(See Ussher, Works, vi. 428, 
479, 536, 821.) He is a saint of the 
third order. §. Swithin was his master.

MODRUSTUS.— The church of 
Markinch was dedicated to this saint, 
along with S. John the Baptist, by 
Bishop David de Bernham, on xiiij. 
Kal. of August 1243.—(Regist. Priorat. 
S. Andree, p. 348.) Modrustus is pro- 
bably the honorific name of S. Drostan. 

Malcolm, Earl of Fife, grants a toft 
of one acre on the north-east of the 
cemetery at Markinch * Deo et ecclesie 
Modhrusti de Markinge" (Reg. Prior. S. 
And. p. 245); and the deed is witnessed 
by Thomas de Kilmaron, Alexander de 
Blar, Duncan MacAdam, Nessus de 
Rameseia, Malcolm de Malevilla, Duncan 
de Syras, John the Chaplain, John the 
parson of Syreys, and many others. See 
DROSTAN. 


MODWENNA or MONYNNE, V. 
July 6, A.D. 518.—On the day that S. 
Columcille was born into the world, in 
A.D. 519, an eminent servant of God 
went to.her rest. In spite of such 
historical difficulties as have induced 
critics to suppose that there were three 
personages of this name, we have 
enough to go upon to obtain a very 
clear impression of a remarkable Irish 
saint, who becomes, as it were, a con- 
necting link between the three great 
wonder-workers of Ireland, as receiv- 
ing the monastic habit from S. Patrick, 
as ever continuing the friend of S. 
Brigida, and as yielding up her spirit 
in the same year that the great Apostle 
of Hy entered into the world. 

Yet, with all its difficulties, the 
circumstances of her life may be har- 
monised so as to suit one individual; 
and knowing that S. Aidan of Ferns has 


MODRUSTUS—MODWENNA. 


left his traces in Ireland, Scotland, and 
Wales, remembering that the Irish 
Pandiana is still commemorated in 
Cambridgeshire, it is not impossible 
that the same saint should first estab- 
lish a Christian colony in the north 
of Ireland, then penetrate through 
the half-Christjanised Galwegia to the 
Campus Manann and Fortrenn; then, 
like so many other Celtic recluses, make 
the pilgrimage to Rome, then found 
houses of Irish observance on the Tyne 
and Trent, and at last return to die in 
her own land, if the history that makes 
her yield up her spirit in her much- 
loved Longfortin be surrounded with 
difficulty. 

S. Modwenna's pedigree is given on 
the next page. Her church is now 
called Killevy, near Newry. The Felire 
of Aingus has, at July 6—

Moninde Ronan. Ep. 


The venerable virgin whose nomen 
was Darerca, and cognomen Monynne, 
the daughter of Mochta, was born in 
the region of Conaille, in the plain Coba. 
Early in life she took the vow of chas- 
tity. When S. Patrick came to her 
neighbourhood she presented herself 
before him, and received from him the 
virgin habit near the pool of Briugis, 
the which, translated, means abund- 
ance. She proceeded to associate others 
with herself, eight virgins and one 
widow, with her baby, named Luger, 
whom Darerca adopted, and who after- 
wards became a bishop. They built 
a church in “ Ruscach in Campo 
Cuailgne,” now Rooskey, near Carling- 
ford. Then with her nuns she went 
to S. Ibar, in the western isles of 
Ireland, remaining long under his 
discipline, first there, and then at an 
island in the south called Little Ireland 
(Beg-Ere), in Wexford harbour. In Lein- 


D

ster they visited S. Brigida. They now 
settled in Ard-Conais, and greatly in- 
creased their congregation, influencing 
the upper classes—“ reginis et nobilibus 
matronis;" and even the men, moved 
by her miracles, sought her benediction. 
By the intrigues of a girl whom they 
had educated they were forced to leave 
the place. As they left, the fordable 
river suddenly became swollen, and 
abated not till one of the nuns con- 
fessed the theft of a handful of leeks. 
They visited on their way S. Brigida, 
who gave them a silver cup called 
* Escra," which, on their refusal, was 
thrown into the river Lyfi, and finally 
was restored to Darerca. She estab- 
lished herself a four days’ journey from 
Brigida, and afterwards visited her own 
relations in the north, at the plain of 
Muirtheimhne in Louth. Here she lived 
in a cell, never seeing the face of man, 
and only going out at night, but distin- 
guished by many miracles. She also 
served God, with 150 sisters, “in monte 
Facartha” (now the hill of Faughart), in 
her native province, but for quiet’s sake 
she moved to a desert place near the 
mountain Culinn (ie. Sliabh Cuillinn, 
now Slieve Gullion), at the foot of which 
is her old cliurch. 

The history now connects S. Mon- 
ynne with Scotland. A nun ‘named 
Brignat, who lived with her, exhibiting 
the signs of future sanctity, was sent 
into Britain, to receive the rites of the 
monastic life in the monastery of Whit- 
hern (insula de Rosnatensi monasterio). 
On fulfilling her task, she returned. 

A curious legend follows. As Moninna 
is at the point of death, King Eugenius 


406 


assembles the clan, and sends Bishop 
Herbeus or Ronan to treat with her to 
live another year, offering to redeem her 
life by a free maiden, knowing that every- 
thing she asks from God she would ob- 
tain. She answered, “Had this been 
asked yesterday or the day before, I 
would have granted it, but now S. Peter 
and S. Paul have come for me, but what 
you proposed to give for me you must 
now give for your own souls" Then she 
blessed the people in the name of the 
Lord, left her skin dress (pelliceam ac 
melotem, necnon et sarculum, ceteraque 
utensilia) as a protection to them, and en- 
joined peace on them, promising to help 
them in heaven by her prayers as she had 
done on earth. The people received the 
message with great weeping, but at last, 
consoled by the exhortation of the bishop, 
returned to their homes. On this the 
saint went to her rest. Three days after 
her death she appeared to a nun called 
Tannat, and by her sent a message to 
the sisters about the rule of silence, 
saying that Tannat should follow her in 
a week, which accordingly took place. 
Moninna or Darerca was succeeded by 
Bia, and she by Derlasre, who presided 
sixty years. Building a church to S. 
Darerca, in the Irish fashion, “de levi- 
gatis tabulis,” she could not get a roof- 
tree (spinatum), but on invoking the 
saint, it was brought by angels. On an 
occasion when Bishop Fibartus (recte 
Finbarrus, or Finbar), whose agnomen 
was Finnian, came to visit Derlasre, 
water from S. Darerca’s well was, by his 
intercession, turned into beer—(This is 
printed in the Acta SS. Julii t. ii. p. 
290b, from the Cod. Salmanticensis, 


MODWENNA. 


now preserved in the Burgund. Library 
of Brussels, MS. fol. 79 a, col. b. 82.) 

The Martyrology of Donegal (p. 187) 
says that her place was Cill-tsleibe, i.e. 
Killeny, at Sliabh Cuillinn, in Ulster, that 
she was of the race of Irial, that nine score 
years was her age, and that “she took a 
girdle about her body,” ze. became a nun. 
She died in 517 or 518. Ussher quotes 
her life by Conchubranus (printed in the 
Acta SS. at her day, Julii t. ii. p. 297, 
from a copy of the Cottonian MS., Cleop. 
A 2, which was sent to the Bollandists 
by Camden) in which he states that 
she founded seven churches in Alba. 
— Ist, at Chilnecase in Galluveie ; 2d, on 
the summit of the hill Dundevenel ; 3d, 
on the top of the rock of Dunbreten; 
the 4th on the castle of Strivelin ; the 
5th in Dunedene, which in the English 
tongue is Edeneburg; the 6th on the 
hill of Dunpeleder ; and the 7th at Lon- 
fortin (Longforgan) near Aleethe, sup- 
posed to be Alectum or Dundee. 

The church of Scoonie was dedicated 
to her by David de Bernham, 1243.— 
(Regist. Priorat. S. Andree, p. 348.) See 
MEMME. 

Her life is given by the Bollandists, 
as already mentioned, from the Codex 
Salmanticensis, i.e. of Salamanca.—(Acta 
SS. Jul. t. ii pp. 290-296.) There is also 
the life by Conchubranus, MS. Bib. Reg. 
15, B ii, which is the same as MS. Cott. 
Cleop. A ii.—(Acta SS. Jul. t. ii. pp. 297- 
312. This is expanded into a life by 
Geoffrey of Burton.—(MS. Cott. Tib. E, 
1) Sir T. Duffus Hardy, in his Descrip- 
tive Catalogue of materials relating to 
the History of Great Britain to the end 
of the reign of Henry VIL (vol i. pp. 


MODWENNA—MOLIO. 


94-100), holds that there were probably 
three saints of this name. Certainly the 
English life relates circumstances very 
different from the Irish. Capgrave’s is 
a version of the old Latin one, with a 
few modern traditions inserted. After 
curing Alfred of Northumberland (called 
in Capgrave “ Aluredus filius Athulphi re- 
gis West Saxonum”) she visits England, 
goes to Daganum, Streneshalch (Whitby), 
and Andreseye, then called Caluechif 
or Seal Cliff on Trent. Having gone 
to see Congal she died, and S. Columba 
adjudged her body to England. It is 
said she was one hundred and thirty 
years old when she died.—(Capgrave, 
Nova Legenda Anglix, fol. 234.) 
Capgrave (ué supra) makes her the 
daughter of the Irish king Naugthei 
by Choman; adds that S. Patrick com- 
mended his relative Athea to her care, 
that her brother Ronan became a reli- 
gious and eventually a bishop, that she 
was the cause of the conversion of a 
tobber, Glunelach, who had slain eight 
presbyters of S. Patrick, and to whom 
she showed in a vision both hell and 
heaven. He as well as his nephew 
Alphin became bishops. Their conver- 
sion was a cause of temptation to Bishop 
Chenin, who, yielding to it, proceeded 
to invade S. Modwena’s monastery. She 
was told to meet him and exhort him 
to repentance, which was effected accord- 
ingly, and a miracle of water made wine 
testified to the glory of the saint. On 
going to Daganum, she founded two mona- 
steries ; one is Pollesworth in Arderne, 
and the other is Streneshalch. She re- 
turned to Ireland, and then went to Pict- 
land. At Longfortin (Longforgan) she 


407 


sang the Psalter immersed in water to 
the breast, and received the consolation 
of angels—once only interrupted by a 
sin of one of the sisters. Thence Mod- 
wena went to Rome with naked feet 
and hair shirt, It was after one of 
these journeys that she settled on the 
Trent. 

Conchubranus (Acta SS. Jul. t. ii. p. 
309) makes Longfortin the scene of her 
death. “Post hzc vero exiit ad Aleethe, 
ubi modo est optima ecclesia, quam 
Longfortin edificavit, cum quodam fonte 
sanctissimo . . . et multum dilexit 
illum locum, in quo in finem vite suze ut 
affirmant, Domino volente, emisit spiri- 
tum.” A messenger was sent to Arderne 
for her sisters, Ahea, Osid, and Ede, 
and they remained some days. There 
came also to visit her Congal, who was 
king of Scotland at that time, and 
Ratheri, Cobo, Bollan, and Choilli, and 
the other chiefs. 


MOFUTACHUS,C. December 26.— 
S. Mofutacus, Confessor, is honoured in 
the Diocese of Aberdeen, and a great 
church not far from Torry is dedicated 
to him.—(Camerarius, p. 203.) 

This is Fithae, the Celtie name of 
Fiacre, with the honorific mo prefixed 
to it. 

In the Retours (Kincardineshire, 
162) we have “infra limites dictarum 
terrarum St. Muffotsbey nuncupatarum 
vulgo." See FIACRE. 


MOLIO, MOLAISSI, or LAISREN, 
A. April 18, A.D. 639.—On the Holy 
Island, which protects the bay of Lam- 
lash, in the island of Arran, is a cave 


408 


called S. Molio's cave. Itis “an ex- 
cavation in the red sandstone, hollowed 
out by the sea when its level was 
higher than at present, with its mouth 
defended by a wall of loose stones. On 
the roof of the cave is a Runic inscrip- 
tion stating the name and office of 
the saint, and a little raised above its 
floor, a shelf of rock, said to have been 
his bed. In the neighbourhood of the 
cave, there is a large flat stone called his 
dining-table, and a spring of pure water, 
his bath, much resorted to in the age of 
superstition and celebrated for the heal- 
ing virtues alleged to have been com- 
municated to it by the prayers and 
blessings of the saint. 
of a curious stone bequeathed by the 
saint being famed for its miraculous pro- 
perties, which was lost only within a few 
years (1840). It was a smooth green 
globe, probably of jasper, about the size 
of a goose-egg.”—(N. S. A., Bute, p. 24.) 
On the cave are many pilgrim crosses, like 
those on the coast of Fife. 

This saint, formerly supposed to be 
Maeliosa, is by the name Lamlash identi- 
fied with the Irish saint Molaissi or Lais- 
ren, patron of Leighlin. "There are seven 
saints of this name in the Martyrology of 
Donegal. His father's name was Cairell, a 
noble of the north of Ireland, who died 
in 526, though the Ulster Annals call 
him * Mae hU Imdae," and the Annals 
of Clonmacnoise “ Mac Winge."—(Ann. 
Four Masters, i. 256 n.) According 
to ZEngus the Culdee, Maithgemm or 
Bona Gemma, the mother of S. Mo- 
laissi of Leighlin, was the daughter of 
Aedhan, king of the Scots Dalriads, and 
niece to a king of Britannia: «f dicitur—

Sanctorum, April, t.ii.p.543 ; where there 
is given a Latin life of the 11th century 
from the papers of Henry Fitzsimon, S. 
J.) The Bollandists (Acta SS. April, t. ii. 
p. 44) place his birth in 566, an opinion 
which Dr. Lanigan disputes (Eccl. Hist. 
of Ireland, vol ii. p. 403) He was of 
the Dal-Fiatach, the regal line of 
Uladh, and being early brought over to 
Scotland, was taught by his uncle S. 
Blane in Bute, although Ireland was 
the seminary of the Scoti at that 
time. After performing some miracles 
there, such as healing the bite of a 
snake, and causing the restoration of 
a stolen horse, he was brought back 
to Ireland and placed under $&. 
Munna, or according to others Muren. 
Then, to avoid being made king, 
he withdrew to an island situated 
in the sea lying between Albania and 
Britain, where he led an eremitic life. 
After that he went to Rome, where, 
according to one authority, he dwelt 
14, according to another 4 years. Hav- 
ing been ordained priest and deacon, 
and receiving a text of the gospels, he 
returnedto Leighlin, when Abbot Gobban 
resigned to him the monastery which he 
had founded. Maintaining ineffectually 
the Roman Easter against Munna, he 
again betook himself to Rome, where 
the Pope consecrated him bishop. On 


MOLOCUS. * 


returning to Ireland, he entertained S. 
Finbar of Cork at his monastery, and 
here his grandfather Aedhan, being ex- 
pelled from his kingdom, took refuge. He 
was buried in the church of Leighlin. 

The life of the saint makes Gregory 
the Great the pope who consecrated him, 
but there is a difficulty in the chrono- 
logy. Pope Gregory died in A.D. 604, 
while Ussher, in his Chronology, gives 
633 as the year of S. Molio's conse- 
eration. This would refer him to the 
pontificate of Honorius (626-638). 

He appears also as Dolasse and Da- 
laise.—(Annal. Ult. ; and the Four Mas- 
ters, vol. i p. 257, ed. O'Donovan.) He 
is claimed in the Salamanca MS. as 
Legate of the Apostolic See and Bishop 
of Leighlin. In the technical sense he 
was neither. There were no legates 
in the modern sense till 1313, and there 
was no diocesan episcopacy in Ireland in 
the seventh century. There is no reason 
to doubt his two visits to Rome, or that 
he carried out the Roman policy. 

Beside Lamlash, which is described 
in Fordun as “ Helantinlaysche, que 
vulgariter Almeslache dicitur" (Scoti- 
chron. lib. ii. c. 10, ed. Goodall, i. 45), 
and which is remembered in connection 
with Haco’s expedition to the Western 
Islands, he is probably commemorated 
in Kilmalash, called also Kilmaglass.— 
(Orig. Par. ii. 77.) 

A life of S. Molio is given in the Irish 
Ecclesiastical Record (No. 79, vol vii. 
p. 318), from the pen of the Very Rev. 
Dr. Moran. 


MOLOCUS, B. and C. June 25, 
A.D. 592.—Not to be confounded with

the celebrated Lugidus or Molua of 
Clonfert, Molua is the Scotch Lugadius, 
Molua or Moluoc, of Lismore, who 
occurs in almost all the Irish Kalendars 
and Annals The original name is 
Lugaidh, pronounced Lua, with the 
endearing suffix oc, Luoc, or Luoch, and 
the honorific mo, Molua, Moluoc, Mo- 
loch. This came afterwards to be greatly 
corrupted, and we find the saint’s name 
appearing as Molouach, Moloak, M‘hul- 
uoch, Malogue, Emagola, and Muluay. 
His pedigree is given in Reeves’ 
isch Araidhe Ecclesiastical Antiqui- 
ties. He is mentioned 
delis by S. Bernard in his 
“Life of S. Malachi O’- 
Finnchadh. 


a quo Dalaraidhe. 


Morgair (ch. 6), where, 
rol, —— dn describing his re-con- 
struction of the ancient 

Muluoc or 
Molocus,  2Pbey of Bangor, he 


goes back upon its past 
history, telling how Comgal had been 
the father of many thousand monks. 
“Verily the place was holy and fruitful 
in saints, plentifully rendering a harvest 
to God, so that one of the sons of that 
sacred congregation, Luanus by name, 
is said himself alone to have been the 
founder of one hundred monasteries. 
And this I would state, that from this 
example the reader may conjecture how 
great was the multitude of the rest. 
Finally, their shoots so filled both Ire- 
land and Scotland, that these verses of 
David seem to have predicted those 
very times :—‘ Visitasti terram et in- 
ebriasti eam: multiplicasti locupletare 
eam. Flumen Dei repletum est aquis, 
parasti cibum illorum : quoniam ita est 
preparatio ejus. Rivos ejus inebrians, 


410 

multiplica genimina ejus : in stillicidiis 
ejus letabitur germinans.’” — (Psalm 
lxiv. 9.) 


A fame that had lasted till S. Ber- 
nard's time had been preserved in the 
Martyrologies of Ireland. 
ZEngus styles him 


Lamluoc glan geldai 
Grian Lissmoir di Alba. 
[With my Luoc the pure and brilliant, 
The sun of Lissmor of Alba.] 
And Marian O'Gorman terms him Mo- 
luocus the hospitable and  decorous, 
from Lismore in Alba.—(Colgan, Trias 
Thaum. p. 481.) 

The Martyrology of Aberdeen de- 
clares him to have been full of the spirit 
of prophecy. The Breviary of Aberdeen 
gives us the following account of his 
life :— 

S. Molocus (or S. Molouache accord- 
ing to A. King), a Scot, was brought up 
by S. Brandan, whose doctrine he learnt, 
and whose ways he followed; for, while 
his fellow-disciples built houses for pro- 
fane uses, he erected churches and altars. 
One day, requiring a square iron bell, 
he asked a neighbouring artificer to 
make it, who excused himself from want 
of coals: whereupon S. Moloc went out 
and collected a bundle of rushes or 
reeds, which miraculously supplied their 
place; and the bell thereby fabricated 
is still held in great honour in the 
church of Lismore. He betook him- 
self to the northern parts of Ybernia, 
through many straits, where, abiding for 
a time, he found men of a like mind 
with himself in a little ship, from 
whom he sought aid to sail to more 
desert places. When they refused,

miracles on the men across the sea, and 
left him there, the stone on which he 
stood floated to Lismore before them. 
He tried to convert the Lismoreans, but 
found them indisposed to listen, where- 
upon he went to the abbey of Meloros, 
with some others, where he took the 
vows. The abbot sent him back to 
Lismore, where he laboured successfully, 
and began to found monasteries and 
other pious places. Then he went and 
taught in the island of Tyle. The king 
gave the island of Lismore to the 
church, whereon the saint betook him- 
self to Ross. There he preached, and 
built many churches in honour of God 
and His Mother Mary. At length he 
died on the 7th of the Kalends of July, 
and was buried in the church of S. 
Boniface in Rosmarky.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars estiv. fol. v.a-viii. 

His bachul is still preserved in the 
possession of the Duke of Argyle, and 
is figured in the Origines Parochiales 
(vol. ii. p. 163). 

The founder of so many religious 
establishments must necessarily have 
left many traces of his labours in the 
country of his adoption, and accordingly 
we find the following churches con- 
nected with him :— 

1. Lismore, where was the church of 
Killmuluag.—(O. S. A. i. p. 482.) The 
church was afterwards the cathedral of 
the diocese of Argyle.—(Orig. Par. ii. 
159.) Here, in ‘Timothy  Pont's 
map, is given a rock called Moloch- 
oskyr. 

2. Rossmarky. Boece represents S. 
Bonifacius Queretinus as associated with 


MOLOCUS—MOMHAEDOC. 


S. Moloch in his extreme old age. 
* And in his time was the holy man 
and bischop, Sanct Melok, an gret 
precheur, and was buryit with Sanct 
Boniface,"—(Scot. Hist. ix. f. 172a, ed. 
1575; Bellenden's translation, vol. ii. p. 
101; Reeves' Culdees, 44-49.) 

3. Mortlach, with its dependent mona- 
stery Cloveth, close to which is a well 
called Simmerluak.—(Stuart’s Book of 
Deer, p. ix. ; N.S. A, Banff, p. 105; 
V. D. A. p. 649; Antiq. of Aberd. and 
Banff, ii. 253.) 

4. Clatt, in the Garioch, where was 
a yearly fair called S. Malloch's Fair.— 
(V. D. A. p. 620; Regist. Episc. Aberd. 
i. 411, 214, 234.) 

5. Tarland, where he appears as 
S. M‘huluoch, and where is Luoch 
Fair —(Antiq. of Aberd. and Banff, ii. 
15, 17.) 

6. Alyth. Here he is S. Molouach, 
Malachi, or Malogue, and his fair is S. 
Malogue's or Emagola's Fair.—(N. S. A., 
Perth, 1119, 1125.) 

As might be expected, however, there 
are more dedications to him among the 
Western Islands, e.g.— 

7. Kilmoluag,now Kilmuir,in Skye.— 
(Orig. Par. ii. p. 348 ; N.S. A., Inverness, 
237.) 

8. Kilmoloig, in Killean.—(Orig. Par. 
ii. 26.) 

9. Kilmoluag in Kilninian, in Mull.— 
(Orig. Par. ii. 320.) 

10. Kilmolowok in Raasay.—(Orig. 
Par. ii. 346.) 

11. Kilmoluag in Tiree.—(Reeves, 
in Ulster Jour. of Archzol. ii. 242.) 

12. Kilmolowaig, in Kilberry.—(Orig. 
Par. ii. 37.)

13. In Pabbay is the church of 8. 
Muluag.—(Orig. Par. i. 377.) 

14. He has a teampull, 44 feet long, 
at Gorrapool in the extreme north of 
Lewis.—(Muir's Characteristics of Archi- 
tecture, p. 187.) 

15. There is a Balmoloch, near Kil- 
syth, in Blaeu's Atlas. 

Fordun, among the islands of Scot- 
land, gives Helanmolauch.—(Scotich. lib. 
ii. c. 10, ed. Goodall, vol. i. p. 46.) 

A chapel dedicated to him, called 
Teampull Mor, stands near the Butt of 
Lewis. Lunatics are brought here to 
be cured. The patient walks seven 
times round the chapel, is sprinkled 
with water from S. Ronan's Well in 
the immediate vicinity, and then is 
bound and deposited for the night on 
the site of the altar—(Mitchell’s “ Vari- 
ous Superstitions in the Highlands and 
Islands.”-—Proceedings Soc. Antiq. Scot. 
iv. 251) 

He is called S. Muluay. “John 
Morison of Bragu told me that 
when he was a boy, and going to the 
church of S. Mulvay, he observed the 
natives kneel and say a paternoster at 
four miles' distance from the church."— 
(Martin's Western Isles, p. 28 ; see also 
his account of the Baul Muluy, p. 225.) 


MOMHAEDOC. March 28, after A.D. 
590.—The Momhaedoc of the Martyr- 
ology of Donegal and of the Drummond 
Kalendar is by ZEngus the Culdee asso- 
ciated with Scotland, *Momedoc mind 
Alban." The word mind, otherwise 
mionn, means a sacred pledge, gem, or 
reliquary.—(See Petrie’s Round Towers, 
p. 341.) His descent is given in the 


412 


margin. Sometimes he is called Mionn 
Gaoidhel, sometimes Mionn Albain. As 
the Gaedhel conquered the Cathair-mor.

duin, now Fiddown, in the county of Kil- 
kenny.—(Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 727.) 


MONACHUS. October 30.—Archi- 
bald Weyr, whose will is dated 7th Oc- 
tober 1547, thus stipulates:—“ Do et 
lego animam meam omnipotenti Deo... 
corpusque meum sepeliendum in ecclesia 
Sancti Monachi de Steynstoune.”—(Re- 
gist. of Confirmed Testaments, Commis- 
sariot of Glasgow, vol. i) 

This Steynstoune is Stevenston in Ayr- 
shire.—(N. S. A., Ayr, 465.) “There is 
a fair in Stevenston, held on the 30th 
October, which is Monoch's, or in 
English St. Monk's-day, or more ele- 
gantly, as with us, ewphonie causá, Sam-

ing."—(N. S. A, Ayr, p. 472.) In the 
parish of Sorn is an estate called Auch- 
mannoch.—(Ibid. p: 132.) 


MONACHUS—MONAN., 


MONAN,C. March 1,4.D.571.—The 
1st of March in all the Irish Kalendars 
is dedicated to the commemoration 
of a saint, who, as Moinend, Moenen, 
or Moenu, is recognised as the suffragan 
bishop of S. Brendan of Clonfert, and 
who went to his rest in A.D. 571 on that 
day. Marianus records that he was 
beautiful in his person. * He is the fair, 
tall, smooth Moenen" He may pro- 
bably be the Moen or Moena of the 
26th of February, who came in. his 
youth with S. Brendan to Clonfert from 
Britannia, which may mean Scotland as 
well as Brittany, as Dr. Lanigan suggests 
(Lanigan, Eccl. Hist. vol ii. p. 36) ; but 
the circumstances of his life are in entire 
contradiction to the Scottish legend. 
According to it the glorious confessor 
Monanus, born in Pannonia, a province 
of the region of Hungary, belonged to 
that company who, with the blessed 
Adrian, came from the pagan inhabit- 
ants of Noricum to the Isle of Maya, 
where they were crowned with martyr- 
dom. But before that the aforesaid 
company was destroyed by the fury of 
the Danes, blessed Monanus preached 
the gospel to the people on the mainland, 
and in a place which is called Inverry 
in Fyf. There his relics rest. Many 
miracles of healing were performed 
there. 

Though a little chapel contained them 
for many years after his translation to 
heaven, King David IL (1329-1370), 
on account of the cures obtained by 
Monanus for himself and others, erected 
a sumptuous church.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. f. lix.a.) 

The chapel was founded (or restored, 


MONAN—MONON. 


“capellanus St. Monani in capella 
quem rex David de novo fundavit”) by 
King David IL, on the 3d April, in the 
fortieth year of his reign, and was served 
by a hermit. By his charter, dated at 
Edinburgh, he grants thereto the lands 
of Easter Burny in Fife, and some land 
in the sheriffdom of Edinburgh. It was 
given to the Blackfriars by James IIL, at 
the solicitation of Friar John Muir, first 
provincial of the order in Scotland.— 
(See Spottiswoode’s Religious Houses, in 
Keith’s Scottish Bishops, ed. Russel, p. 
445 ; also Robertson’s Index of Charters, 
p. 86.) 

The chief seat of the cultus of this 
saint was S. Monans, now joined to the 
parish of Abercromby in Fife, where is 
à fine church standing picturesquely on 
the shore.—(N. S. A., Fife, 337-350 ; O. 
S. A. ix. 334) His chapel is in the 
Aberdeen Martyrology called Invere. 
There is a burn anciently called In- 
weary on the west of the parish.— 
(Ibid. p. 339.) 

Being struck by an iron-barbed arrow 
from a catapult, King David II. failed to 
get relief from surgeons, but solemnly 
vowing and commending himself to S. 
Monan, the barbed arrow came out, and 
left no scar. 

A mother of a family, furious and 
possessed by devils, had these cast out 
by the prayer of S. Monan, and though 
left half dead was restored to health. 

Colgan has, under the 23d of 
February, an account of S. Mon- 
nanus (spelt Mannanus) with Tiaanus, 
whom he tries to identify with 
this saint. Quoting Boece, who seems 
in this place, as in others, to have 


413 


used authentic documents which have 
now perished, he maintains that the 
martyrs of the Isle of May were 
foreigners of different races, and that 
therefore it is possible that among them 
there may have been Irishmen, many of 
whom in the ninth century were martyred 
by the Danes and Normans. He, how- 
ever, leaves it doubtful whether he 
really is the “S. Monanus, strenuus 
pugil, de Aredh-huird” of the Martyro- 
logy of Tamhlacht.—(Colgan, Acta SS. 
Hib. p. 392b, note 2.) 

The Irish Kalendars have, at the 1st 
of March, Maoineann, Bishop of Cluain- 
ferta-Brenainn, now Clonfert, in the 
barony of Longford, County Galway. 
Thus ZEngus the Culdee has 


Senan, Moinend, Moyses. 


The note on Moinend is—“Espoc ocus 
comorba Cluana Ferta Brenaind,” i.e. 
Bishop and coarb of Cluain-ferta of 
Brenaind. There is a Kilminning farm 
and rock in the parish of Crail (N. S. A., 
Fife, 944) ; also a chapelry of S. Monon 
in Kiltearn in Ross (Orig. Par. ii. 478). 
—Minnan’s Fair is held at the old 
chapel at Freswick in Caithness on 
the 2d of May, a day later than the 
feast. 


MONON, M. October 18, circ, 650. 
—Adam King at this day gives ^8. 
Monon Scotisman mart. at Arduena 
under Arcadius, 404;” and Molanus’ ad- 
dition to Usuardus (ed. Soller. p. 610) 
has “In Nassonia, the birthday of 
blessed Monon, the martyr, who by 
angelic monition came from Scotland to 
Arduenna, and there serving God alone 


414 


for a long time, was pierced through 
by murderous robbers, and happily 
dying, was buried in the church that he 
had founded.” In the Indiculus Sanc- 
torum Belgii, he adds “ discipulus sancti 
Remacli . . . Est autem Nassoin, pagus 
illustris sanguine et reliquiis gloriosi 
martyris, subditione abbatis ad sanctum 
Hubertum in Ardaino: unde duobus 
milliaribus est semotus, in dicecesi Leo- 
diensi,” (fol 55b, Lovan. 1573) S. 
Remaclus, bishop of Maestricht, his pre- 
ceptor, died circ. 664 (Mabillon, Annal. 
Bened. t. i p. 478), which helps to 
ascertain Monon's real date.

MOROC, B. and C. November 8.— 
No particulars are given of the life of 
this saint in the Breviary of Aberdeen. 
His church and sepulchre are stated by 
the Martyrology of Aberdeen to be at 
Lekraw, near Stirling. Camerarius (p. 
186) styles him the abbot of the most 
anclent abbey among the Scots, called 
Dunkel or Duncaldonia. This is con- 
firmed by the fact that at Dowally, 
in the immediate neighbourhood of 
Dunkeld, is a place called Kilmorick, 
where is S. Muireach's well.—(N. S. A., 
Perth, p. 797.) In the title of the 
Feast in the Breviary, he is said to 
belong to the diocese of Dunblane—* in 
Dunblanensi dyocesi" (pars estiv. fol. 
exlvii); but it is to be observed that 
Lekraw or Lecropt, where the. saint 
appears as Maworrock, though locally 
situated in Dunblane, was in the juris- 
diction of Dunkeld, a diocese remarkable 
for the number of outlying parishes,—e.g. 


MOPHIOG—MUNDUS. 


the Church of S. Michael within a 
hundred and fifty yards of the Cathedral 
of Brechin, the Castle of Broughty 
forming part of the parish of Caputh, 
and Foffarty in Kinnettles. 

There is another Kilmorack in Inver- 
ness-shire (N. S. A., Inverness, p. 361), 
which contains the Cistercian Abbey of 
Beauly, of the reform of Vallis Caulium, 
founded in 1230. In Blaeu's Atlas is 
Kilnamoraik, near Loch Lochy.

MOVEAN. (See DABrUs.)—8See what

of the Irish Kalendars. For his church of 
Inis Cumscraigh, see Reeves’ Eccles. 
Antiq. of Down and Connor, pp. 44, 92, 
379. Domhnach Cluana is now Donagh- 
cloney parish, in the diocese of Dro- 
more and county of Down.

MUNDUS, MUN, or FINTAN 
MUNNU, A. October 21, A.D. 635. 
—Under the appellation of Mundus, the 
Breviary introduces us to one of the 
most famous of the contemporaries of 
S. Columeille. The legend is drawn 
from authentic sources. According to 
it the father of S. Mundus was Tulchan, 
his mother Fedhelm. Adamnan calls 
him Fintanus, and his father Tailchanus. 
A&ngus also terms him Fintan. 


MUNDUS. 


The Scholiast on the Felire explains 
the name Munda thus— 


Mu-findü, £.e. Finntan. 
An breo co mbruth aithre 
Fintan firor promthai, 

Mac Taulchain tren trednach 
Cathmil credlach crochdai. 


[The torch with the ascending flame 
Fintan, pure-tested gold, 
The powerful abstemious son of Tulchan, 
A warrior religious, and crucified (i.e. tor- 
tured.)] 


Sent in his youth to keep sheep, 
he went to a religious man to learn 
the truth, and on being checked by his 
father for leaving his charge, he replied 
that, so long as he was permitted to 
study, the sheep would be safe from the 
wolves. Accordingly, the father next 
day saw his sheep tended by two wolves. 
S. Mundus first betook himself to S. 
Congallus, and then to S. Sillenus (Sinell 
of Cluain-inis), who then was most famous 
among the Irish Saints, under whose 
rule he lived eighteen years. Then (in 
597) he took the habit in Hy, under 8. 
Columba. On the death of S. Columba 
he returned to Ireland, where he per- 
formed many miracles. At length he 
died, and was honourably buried in Kil- 
mond, which he had previously founded. 
— (Brev. Aberd., pars estiv. fol. 131a.) 

S. Mundus was an opponent of the con- 
tinental Paschal computation, concerning 
which he had a contest with S. Laisren 
or Molaisse, although it is believed 
that the Synod of Whitefield terminated 
in a general consent. The legends differ 
as to his stay in Hy. In contradiction 
to the statement of the Breviary, it is 
said (and this view is supported by the 
Bollandists) that he came thither only 


415 


on the death of S. Columcille, and was 
sent back by Baithin, his successor, 
to Ireland, where he founded Teach- 
Munna, now Taghmon, in the county of 
Wexford. Lanigan doubts his residence 
at Clonenagh.—(Eoccl. Hist. of Ireland, ii. 
p. 408; Reeves Adamnan, pp. 18-23.) 

In the life of S. Cainnech (c. xxiv., the 
Marquis of Ormonde's edition, p. 14) is 
a remarkable story illustrative of the 
tone of feeling of the time. When in 
Heth, the saint was preparing to go to 
Ireland, when Tulchan, wishing to please 
the Lord, came to Hy to S. Colum- 
cille ; and there, “baculum tenens," re- 
mained as a monk, having with him his 
little son, whom he loved much. Baithin 
said, * This laic loves his boy more than 
the Lord, therefore they should be 
separated." ** Columcille on this ordered 
him to cast the child from a height into 
the sea, which hard saying the father, 
giving thanks to the Lord, but with 
great sorrow of heart, fulfilled, S. 
Cainnech, hearing this by the spirit of 
God, sailed to Ireland, and turning 
aside to Hy, found the child descending 
on the waters. Rescuing him, he took 
him to S. Columcille, to whom he said, 
“ Henceforth we cannot be friends, for 
that thou hast given so cruel and im- 
pious a command, and hast afflicted this 
miserable stranger.” The saint rewarded 
S. Cainnech by administering to him the 
holy viaticum at the hour of his release 
from the body. 

Brief as are the notices in the Martyro- 
logy of Tallaght, where generally only the 
name is given, there is the record of the 
impression which his monastic found- 
ation made on the mind of the church. 


416 


At this day is given “Fintan Mac Tul- 
chain, 4e. Munna, with the holy monks 
that were under his yoke, whom the fire 
of judgment shall not burn. Their 
names are Laisren and Comain,” etc. 

There is a life of him in the MS. in 
the Marsh Collection (see Reeves’ Adam- 
nan, pp. xxv. xxvi 202); and in the 
Codex Salmanticensis at Brussels (see 
Duffus Hardy's Descriptive Catalogue, 
vol i p. 226). His life is quoted by 
Colgan (Trias Thaum. p. 460), and it 
forms the basis of the Lections in the 
Breviary of Aberdeen. 

The upper parts of Appin belonged, 
at some remote period, to the parish 
of Eleanmunde, or the island of S. 
Munde, who was abbot and confessor 
in Argyle. The island of S. Munde is 
situated in Loch Leven, near where the 
Coe discharges itself into the loch.— 
(N. S. A., Argyle, 223.) 

The Breviary of Aberdeen styles 
him Abbot at Kilmund and Dissert. It 
is difficult to identify the second of 
these. The term in the Celtic Church 
was used for any religious solitude, and 
is simply the desert, to which the holy 
man betook himself. In Scotland we 
have Dysart town and parish in Fife- 
shire; Dysart, an old ecclesiastical site, in 
Forfarshire. — (Jervise, Memorials of 
Angus and Mearns, p. 413. Dysart 
was formerly the name of Glenorchy, 
a parish in Argyleshire. — (Chalmers’ 
Caledonia, vol. i. p. 53.) 

Certain lands in Kilmun were held 
“ per quendam procuratorem cum baculo 
Sancti Munde Scoticé vocata Deowray.” 
—(Reg. Mag. Sig., lib. xiii. No. 314 ; cit. 
Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 367.) The arm of 


MUNDUS—MURDOCH. 


the sea on which Kilmun stands is called 
the Holy Loch. 

He had a fair at Earlsruthven in For- 
farshire.—(Retours, Forfar, 429.)

MURDOCH, B. and C. September 2. 
—September 2, In Scotland the deposi- 
tion of S. Murdoch, B. and C.—(Memori- 
als of British Piety, p. 124.) In the Scot- 
tish Breviary in the possession of the 
Marquis of Bute, at December 23, is ** S. 
Murdachi Episcopi," and among the mar- 
tyrs of the Dunkeld Litany is Mordouch. 
At October 5, Dempster (Hist. Eccl. tom. 
ii. p. 474) gives a S. Murdach, a hermit 
“who had apoor habitation near a lake in 
Argyleshire, which is called Kilmurdah. 
A life of him in nine lections is preserved, 
and the events of it are painted on the 
walls of his cell. He was the last of the 
Bards, and was said to be very devout 
to the Virgin, who distinguished him by 
great favours.” 

“ About a mile north-east of Ethie, in 
the parish of Inverkeillor, stand the 
remains of a church with an enclosed 
burying-ground. It is called S. Mur- 
doch's Chapel."—(N. S. A., Forfar, p. 24.) 
“ Although on this part of the coast the 
sea washes the foot of abrupt precipices, 
an active man at low tide may pass along 
between the sea and the rock for four 
miles, from a peninsular rock called Lud's 
Castle to S. Murdoch's Chapel in the 
parish of Inverkeillor."— (Ibid. p. 491.) 
It is termed in the Chartulary of Ar- 
broath “ Vicaria perpetua ecclesie paro- 
chialisSaneti Murdaci de Athy.—(Regist. 
Nigr. de Aberbrothock, p. 271.) 


MUREN—NATHALAN. 


At a field near Ethie-beaton, in the 
parish of Monifieth, is the site of a place 
of worship called Chapel Dockie.— 
(N. S. A, Forfar, p. 542.) 

There are two Celtic names, either of 
which Murdoch may be—Muireadhach, 
now Murray, and Muircheartach, now 
Murtough. 


MUREN, V.—A certain virgin in 
whose honour one of the seven churches 
at Chilrimont or S. Andrews was erected, 
in which were fifty virgins of the blood- 
royal, all dedicated to God, and veiled 
eleven years, and they were all buried 
in the east part of the church aforesaid. 
—(Legend of S. Andrew, Skene, Chron. 
of Picts and Scots, p. 187.) 

She may be the Mouren mentioned 
a little earlier in the same legend, who 
was the daughter of Hungus and his 
queen Finchen, born at Moneclatu, now 
Monikie, and the first to be buried in the 
church of S. Andrews (p. 188). 

Finchen gave the place where the 
child was born to God and S. An- 
drew. 


MURICHACH.—She is found among 
the virgins and widows of the Dunkeld 
Litany. 


MURIEL is found among the virgins 
and widows in the Dunkeld Litany. It 
is probably a modification of the Irish 
Muirgel. Rath-Muriell was the name 
of a suppressed parish in the Garioch, 
now joined to Kinnethmont.—(Antiq. of 
Aberd. and Banff, iv. 501.)  Muriel's 
Well is near the site of the old church, 
which in later times was called Christ's 
Kirk.

NATHALAN, NACHLAN, or 
NAUCHLAN, B. and C. January 8. 
A.D. 678.—The Irish Annals, without 
note or comment, in 679 (678) give the 
repose of Neachtan Neir, “ Dormitatio 
Neachtain Neir" He appears in the 
Felire of ZEngus at January 8, as 


Nechtan nair de albae, 


which the gloss throws into a more 
modern form—anair de Albain— i.e. 


Nechtan from the east, from Alba, 


and is thus identified with the great 
saint of Deeside, Nathalan, by the 
common people called Nachlan or 
Nauchlan. His history in the Breviary 
is as follows :—“ Nathalan is believed to 
have been born in the northern parts of 
the Scoti, in ancient times, at Tullicht, 
in the diocese of Aberdeen, a man of 
great sanctity and devotion, who, after 
he had come to man’s estate, and been 
imbued with the liberal arts, devoted 
himself and his wholly to divine con- 
templation. 

“And when he learned that among the 
works of men’s hands the cultivation of 
the earth approached nearest to divine 
contemplation, though educated in a 
noble family, with his own hands he 
practised the lowly art of cultivating the 
fields, abandoning all other occupations, 
that he might employ his mind, so as 
never to give place to the contagion of 
the base solicitations of the flesh. 

* Meanwhile, as he warred his war- 
fare against the devil and the perishing 
world, a terrible famine broke out among 
his neighbours, relations, and friends, so 
that almost the whole people were in 
danger of perishing by hunger and want

of food. But God’s saint, Nathalan, 
moved by the greatest piety, distributed 
all his grain, and whatever else he had, 
for the name of Christ, to the poor; 
but when the time of spring came, when 
all green things are committed to the 
bowels of the earth, not having ought 
to sow in the land which he cultivated 
with his own hands, by divine revela- 
tion he ordered it all to be strewn and 
sown with sand, from which sand, thus 
sown, a great crop of all kinds of grain 
grew up, and was greatly multiplied. 

* But in the time of harvest, when a 
multitude of both sexes were collected 
by him to gather in the crop, a great 
tempest of rain and whirlwind was sent 
forth, so that these husbandmen and 
women were forced to abstain from 
labour. Therefore he, excited by anger, 
along with the other reapers, murmured 
a little against God; but on the tempest 
straightway ceasing, feeling that he had 
offended Him, induced by penitence, he 
bound his right hand to his leg with an 
iron lock and key, and forthwith threw 
the key into the river Dee, making a 
solemn vow that he would never unlock 
it until he had visited the thresholds of 
the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, 
which actually took place. 

“Having entered the city, approaching 
in meditation the monuments of the 
saints which are there on every side, 
and bewailing his sin, he adored that 
Creator whom he had heretofore offended. 
As he went through the most remark- 
able places of the city he met a naked 
boy carrying a little fish for sale, which 
he purchased at a low price. By the 
divine power, he found in its belly the 


NATHALAN. 


key, unrusted, which he had flung into 
the Dee, and with it he opened the 
lock upon his leg. But the Supreme 
Pontiff, informed of this mighty wonder, 
and summoning him as a man of superior 
sanctity into his presence, made him, in 
spite of his reluctance, a bishop. 

“Rendering himself for many years 
acceptable to all in the practice of divine 
contemplation in Rome, not forgetful 
to extreme old age of his native soil, 
by permission of the Roman Pontiff he 
returned to that part of Scotland whence 
he sprung. Having built the churches 
of Tullicht, Bothelim, and Colle, at 
his own expense, he dedicated them to 
Almighty God, and they actually exist 
in these provinces, dedicated to his 
honour. After many remarkable mir- 
acles, blessed Nathalan, full of grace 
given forth from God, on the 6th of the 
ides of January commended his soul to 
the Lord, and ascended into heaven 
above the ether, and being buried with 
great veneration at Tullicht, affords 
health to the sick who come to him 
piously and devoutly.”—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. xxv.b.) 

S. Nathalan occurs in the Irish 
Kalendars: thus, in the Mart. of Tallaght, 
“ Nechtanan ;” in that of Donegal (p. 11) 
“Neachtan of Dun-geimhin (Dungiven), 
in Cianachta Glinne-Geimhin, A.D. 678.” 
This is now Keenaght, a barony in 
the county of Londonderry and diocese 
of Derry. Dungiven and Glengiven, the 
Mumitio Pellium and Vallis Pellium, now, 
strange to say, belong to the Skinners’ 
Company. An Augustinian priory was 
afterwards founded here, by the O’Cahans, 
according to Ware in 1100, according

to the Annals in 1206.—(See Reeves' 
Acts of Archbishop Colton, p. 41; 
Mason’s Parochial Survey of Ireland, 
vol. i. pp. 287-348.) 

We find the saint at Tullicht (V. D. 
A. 639), where a cross of very early 
type, incised upon a rude granitic slab 
which once lay in the church, now forms 
the top lintel to one of the doors of the 
old Kirk of Tullicht. He is patron of 
Bothelney (now Meldrum), a name “ cor- 
rupted: perhaps from Balnethalen (rather 
Bothnethalen), that is, the dwelling of 
Saint Nethalen.”—(Ibid. 558.) The 
church legend records how S. Nathalan 
averted a raging pestilence from the 
church of Bothelney by the fervency 
of his prayers. “Long after the legend 
was banished from the popular mind, 
and the very name of Nathalan for- 
gotten, the parishioners kept the 8th 
of January as a feast on which they did 
no work."—(Orig. Par, vol i Pref. 
xxii) At the old kirk of Bothelney, 
about three miles from the town of Old 
Meldrum, is Naughlan’s Well A fair 
there also bears his name. We find him 
at Cowie, or Collie (V. D. A. 633) ; and 
his name is there preserved among the 
fishermen in the following rhyme :— 


** Atween the Kirk and the Kirk ford, 
There lies St. Nauchlan’s hoard.” 


In the parish of Kildalton, in Islay, we 
find Kilnaughtan.—(Orig. Par. ii. 269.) 


NEAMHAN.—This saint is remem- 
bered at Kilmonivaig. At September 
13, the Martyrology of Donegal has 
“Naemhan Mac ua Duibh.” Tallaght 
has “ Neman Mac h Duibh.” 


419 


NECTAN, B. August 23.—He was 
Bishop of Mortlach in the reign of King 
David, and was translated to Aberdeen 
in 1136 (V. D. A. p. 143). He is men- 
tioned in a charter of King David, in 
which certain lands are by him given to 
God, to S. Mary, to S. Machar, and to 
Nectan, Bishop of Aberdeen, to be held 
“in puram et liberam eleemosynam."— 
(Regist. Episcop. Aberdon. vol. i. p. 4.) 


NENNIO, B. and A.—He was a suc- 
cessor of S. Ninian at Whithern. Lani- 
gan (Eccles. Hist. i 434), mentioning 
that S. Tighernach Ferdachrioch was 
educated at Rosnat in Great Britain by 
the holy abbot Monennus, says, “This 
Monennus was undoubtedly the same 
person as Nennio, Bp. and Ab. of what 
was called the great monastery in Britain.” 
Several Irish saints were educated there 
—1. Finnian of Magbile, A.p. 579 (pro- 
bably S. Winnin) under Mugentius; 2. 
Endeus of Aran under Mansenus, A.D. 
560; 3. Tighernach; 4. Eugenius of 
Ardstraw. The instructor of these four 
saints must have lived from 480 to 
520. "Tighernach calls him Nennio, Ab- 
bot of Rosnat. The lives of S. Finnian 
call him Nennio of the great monastery. 
—(Vide Todd’s Liber Hymnorum under 
Mugent ; and Colgan under Monennius, 
Acta SS. Hib. p. 438.) 


NETHAN. October 26, A.D. 408.— 
This saint was honoured at Cambus- 
nethan. “The old church is said to 
have been dedicated to S. Nethan, whom 
Archbishop Ussher styles *'religiosissi- 
mus (et doctissimus) Nathan.” —(N. S. A., 
Lanark, 608 ; Orig. Par. i. Pref. p. xxii.) 


420 


Ussher makes him the tutor of Kenanus, 
who in the time of S. Martin, being of 
the province of Connaught, was saved 
from being King Laoghaire’s hostage by 
the good offices of S. Kieran, and after 
taking the monastic habit at Tours, re- 
turned to Ireland, where he built a 
church called S. Kenan’s Church, and at 
last, going to Tiroen (terram Eugenii), 
destroyed an idol and its altar there, 
and built a church, over which he caused 
S. Congellus to preside. — (Ussher, 
Works, vol. vi. p. 339.) Tt is, however, 
more probable that this is Naethan or 
Nwython, who, with his brother S. 
Gwynog, appears in the Welsh Kalendar 
atthe 26th of October. They were the 
sons of Gildas the son of Caw, lord of 
Arecluta. It will be remembered that 
this district was a Welsh or Cymric 
colony, the neighbouring parish of Cam- 
buslang being dedicated to S. Cadoc. 
See Canoe. 


NEVETH, M.—S. Neveth was one of 
the sons of Brychan. He is said in the 
Welsh Genealogy of the Saints to have 
been a bishop in the north, where he 
was slain by the Saxons and Picts. The 
ecclesiastical district of Neuyth (Nevay), 
now united to Essie, near Meigle, lies 
within the old Pictish territory.  Per- 
haps S. Neveth was buried at Neuyth. 


NICHOLAUS, B. and M. June 12, 
A.D. 296.— At Peebles the memory is 
venerated of S. Nicholaus, B. and M., 
who was supposed to have suffered under 
Diocletian. His relics were discovered 
in 1261.—(Ussher, Works, vol. vi p. 
354) 


NEVETH—NINE MAIDENS. 


For the account of the finding of his 
relics, and of a certain “magnifica crux 
et venerabilis apud Pebles" and the 
consequent foundation by King Alex- 
ander, in 1261, of the conventual church 
of the Holy Cross, see Fordun (lib. x. 
c. 14, ed. Goodall, vol. ii. p. 96). 


NIDAN, C. November 3.— There 
was a S. Nidanus at Midmar according 
to the Martyrology of Aberdeen.— 
(Antiq. of Aberd. and Banff, vol ii. 
xlvii; Regist. Episc. Aberdon. vol. i. p. 
lxxxvii.) He was a disciple of 8S. 
Kentigern, and he is found in Anglesea 
at Llanidan. He appears in the Welsh 
Kalendars at September 30, and is the 
son of Pascen, son of Urien Reged. The 
neighbouring parish to this in Anglesea 
is Llanfinen ; and it is curious that not 
far from Midmar is Lumphanan, after- 
wards said to be dedicated to S. Vin- 
cent, but primarily to S. Finan, for the 
name is only a corrupted form of Llan- 
finan, while Midmar is not far from 
Glengarden, which was dedicated to S. 
Mungo (V. D. A. p. 639), so that we 
have here a group of Cymric dedica- 
tions in the heart of Aberdeenshire. 


NINE MAIDENS, VV. July 18. 
—The entry in the Kalendar of the 
Breviary of Aberdeen under this day 
gives us the dedication, * Sanctarum 
novem virginum," but there are neither 
lections nor a collect to indicate that 
there was any special service for these 
saints. They are termed by King “The 
9 virgines dochters to S. Donewalde 
under King Eugenius VII. in Scotland,” 
and Camerarius gives Saint Donevaldus, 


NINIAN. 


otherwise Donaldus, with nine daughters. 
He spent a most holy life in the Glen of 
Ogilvy, and on his death his daughters 
entered the monastery at Abernethy. 
—(See Ussher, Works, vi 256, 610.) 
Pitsligo had a chapel under this dedica- 
tion.—(V. D. A. 435.) So had Touch.— 
(Ibid. 395.) There was a well of this 
dedication at Strathmartin and at 
Glamis. See DoNALD. 

Bower associates them with S. Brigid : 
—" Garnard Makdompnach founded 
and built the collegiate church of Aber- 
nethy. After that, S. Patrick introduced 
S. Brigid with her nine virgins into 
Scotland, as we have found in a certain 
chronicle of the Church of Abernethy ; 
and he offered to God, to blessed Mary, 
to blessed Brigid, and to her virgins, all 
the lands and tithes which the Prior 
and Canons hold from ancient times.” 
—(Fordun, lib. iv. c. 12; ed. Goodall, 
vol. i. p. 188.) 


NINIAN,B.andC. September 16, A.D. 
432 (1).—The apostolate of S. Ninian car- 
ries one back to the fall of the Roman 
Empire. The period of his birth may be 
referred to the time when the Scots and 
Picts, by breaking through the Roman 
wall, are first heard of in history, when 
Constantius, the youngest of the sons of 
the Great Constantine, had by the suicide 
of Magnentius become sole monarch, and 
the Empire, divided into four prefectures, 
and again into dioceses and provinces, 
still presented to the world the appear- 
ance of beauty and strength. The epoch 
of S. Ninian was the age of the religious 
controversies touching the divinity of 
the Son of God, though the echoes of 


421 


these strivings did not reach the British 
shores. The power of the Roman See 
was rapidly increasing. The edict of 
Valentinian soon after lent to it the 
sanction of the civil power, and its ad- 
ministration was not unworthily carried 
on by such men as Popes Damasus, Siri- 
cius, Innocent, and Celestine. The same 
epoch saw the gradual weakening of the 
Roman Empire. Perhaps no one lifetime 
ever witnessed such a lapse into bar- 
barism. It came to an end when Britain 
had been abandoned by the withdrawal 
of the Roman legions, when the Visigoths 
were established in Spain, the kingdom 
of the Burgundians founded by Gondicar, 
Africa the granary of the world lost to 
Rome, Genseric established at Carthage, 
and Attila the scourge of God forming a 
kingdom which extended from China to 
the Atlantic. 

Our first authentic record of S. Ninian 
is in Beda (H. E. lib. iii c. 4). “The 
southern Picts who dwelt on this side of 
those mountains had long before, as is 
reported, forsaken the errors of idolatry 
and embraced the truth by the preaching 
of Nynias, à most reverend bishop and 
holy man of the British nation who had 
been regularly instructed at Rome in the 
faith and mysteries of the truth ; whose 
Episcopal See, named after S. Martin the 
Bishop, and famous for a stately ehurch 
(wherein he and many other saints rest 
in the body), is still existent among the 
English nation. The place belongs to 
the province of the Bernicians, and is 
generally called Candida Casa, because he 
there built a church of stone, which was 
not usual among the Britons." 

The Irish Martyrologies supply the 


422 


next authentic records of S. Ninian. On 
the 16th of September the M. of Tallaght 
gives us Monenn (i.¢. Nen with the hono- 
rific prefix), of Cluain Conaire. M. of 
Donegal adds, “in the north of Ui Fae- 
lain,” now in the county of Kildare.— 
Aingus the Culdee gives— 


Moinend nuall cech genai. 
[Moinend the shout of every mouth. ]* 


The next authority for the life of 
S. Ninian is the amiable Aelred, who, pro- 
bably born in England, but educated in 
Scotland along with Henry, son of King 
David, after refusing a bishopric offered 
to him, retired to Rievaux in Yorkshire 
(*vulgo Revesby dicto, in agro Lincol- 
niensi"), where he became a Cistercian 
A.D. 1166.—(Cave, Historia Litteraria, 
vol ii. p. 227, Oxon. 1743.) A. life, 
written seven hundred years after the 
death of its subject, in those uncritical 
times, and at the instance of the canons 
who profited by his fame, would be 
worthless, were it not that just as the 
Cistercian Joscelin, in his life of S. 
Kentigern, used “ codiculum stilo Scotico 
dictatum,” so the Cistercian Aelred had 
the assistance of “liber barbario (sic) 
scriptus.” In the superscription of the 
Bodleian copy the life is said to have 
been translated from English into Latin. 

S. Ninian, the son of a Christian 
prince, was born at Whithern in Gallo- 
way,called also Rosnat and the “magnum 
monasterium," a place easily identified 
with the scene of his episcopate. Bap- 
tized in his infancy, he spent a holy

ain, in north Hy-Faelain.' 


NINIAN. 


boyhood and. youth, but soon felt a desire 
to go to Rome. Crossing the British 
Sea, and entering Italy by the Gal. 
lican Alps, he arrived after a prosperous 
journey there. He was taken notice of 
by the Pope, and devoted himself to 
study, * intelligens nimirum ab imperitis 
doctoribus multa sane doctrine adversa 
sibi et compatriotis suis fuisse persuasa." 
After remaining many years in Rome, 
increasing in knowledge and grace, he 
was consecrated bishop, and sent to the 
western parts of Britain to men who 
had not received the faith of our Saviour, 
or who had heard the word of the Gospel 
from heretics, or from men ignorant of 
the law of God. On his way home he 
visited the great S. Martin of Tours, 
from whom he borrowed masons that he 
might construct a church after the 
Roman model. He was well received 
in his diocese, and he selected the place 
called Witerna, “ which place, situated on 
the shore, while it runs far into the sea 
on the east, west, and south, is closed in 
thereby. From the north side alone it 
is approached from the land. There he 
built the first stone church in Britain, 
and having heard of the death of S. 
Martin while building it, he dedicated it 
to him.” §. Martin died in a. 397, 
which gives us the date of the founda- 
tion of this church. "The place here de- 
scribed may be the Isle of Whithern, 
where there is still a chapel in ruins, 
but not a moulding remains to give any 
indication of its date. It is, however, 
more likely that the town of Whithern, 
where are to be seen the beautiful 
remains of the cathedral of Galloway, 
some miles inland, is the actual site of 


NINIAN. 


the venerable Rosnat. The statement 
that this was the first stone church in 
Britain must needs be taken with 
some reservation. 

He now restored to sight a neighbour- 
ing king, on whom, in punishment for his 
pride and opposition to the saint, God 
had laid the burden of blindness. 
Being healed, he became a great sup- 
porter of S. Ninian. His name is by 
Aelred called Tuduvallus, which seems 
a corruption of the old Celtic Teutalus, 
in Irish Tuathal. After vindicating the 
innocence of a priest falsely accused of 
incontinency, he undertook: the conver- 
sion of the Picts. The southern Picts 
were idolaters. Ninian preached the 
truth of the Gospel and the purity of 
the Christian faith, many wondrous signs 
following. Multitudes flocked to bap- 
tism, and the account declares that he 
ordained priests, consecrated bishops, 
and divided the whole land “ per certas 
parrochias.” Having done all this he 
returned to his own church, where he 
passed the rest of his holy life in great 
tranquillity. 

The rest of S. Aelred’s biography is 
taken up with miracles, such as the 
sudden growth of leeks; the raising to 
life of a robber who had been gored by 
a bull at a place now termed Farreslast 
or the bull’s footmark ; the shower that 
fell on the saint and his book as his 
mind wandered in a “ cogitatio illicita” ; 
and lastly the protection afforded by his 
bachul to a disciple who had fled from 
punishment. The life mentions that he 
educated many young men both of noble 
and of humble condition, and that on 
the occasion of his death he was buried 


423 


in the church of S. Martin, and laid in a 
stone sarcophagus where many cures are 
wrought. Two proper names, Adelfred 
and Deisuit, occur in these legends. The 
first is certainly Saxon. 

Aelred's life of S. Ninian is given by 
Pinkerton.—(Vide MSS. Bodl Laud 
Mise. 668, also Cott. Tib. D. iii, Cott. 
Tib. E. i) For the account of a pil- 
grimage of James IV.to the shrine of 
S. Ninian in 1504, see Stuart’s Records 
of the Priory of the Isle of May.— 
(Pref. xlix.) 

Mr. Bradshaw has found a metrical 
life of S. Ninian, by Barbour, in the Uni- 
versity Library of Cambridge. 

In an Irish Life of Ninian, quoted by 
Archbishop Ussher, it is stated that this 
saint, at the request of his mother and 
other relatives, left Candida-Casa to 
go over to Ireland to a place granted 
him by the king, called Cluain-Coner, 
where he built a great monastery, and 
died. See MAOINENN. 

For a graphic picture of the state of 
barbarism among the Picts of Galloway 
at the time of the mission of S. Ninian, 
see Montalembert’s Les Moines d’Occi- 
dent, Paris, 1868, vol. iii. p. 22. 

S. Ninian is said to have occasionally 
inhabited a cave, which is still shown on 
the sea-shore of Glasserton, adjacent to 
the house of Physgill.—(Stuart's Sculp- 
tured Stones of Scotland, vol. ii p. 
lxxxviii, quoting O. S. A. vol xvii 
p. 594.) 

The number of churches dedicated to 
S. Ninian is very great. The fol- 
lowing list by no means exhausts 
the districts in which he is remem- 
bered :—

NINIAR—ODA. 


In the church of the Carmelite Friars 
of Bruges, the Scottish nation founded an 
altar to S. Ninian and endowed a chap- 
lain.—(Chalmers' Caledonia, iii. p. 411, 
quoting Privy Seal Regist. xii. 26.) 

One of the scanty remains of pre- 
Reformation religious art, a fresco on 
the wall of the church of S. Congan at 
Turriff, displays the figure of S. Ninian. 
—(Book of Deer, p. exlii.) 

Georgius de Brana, Bishop of Dro- 
more in 1483, formerly Dominus Athe- 
narum, consecrates the ehapel of S. Ninian 
near Arbroath (Reg. Nig. de Aberbro- 
thock, p. 226), in the valley of Seton. 


NINIAR. Se MANIRUS. 


NINNIDIUS.—Ninnidius, the son of 
Ethach, from the district of Mull (de 
partibus Mula), is named among the 
greater saints of Ireland.—(Colgan, Acta 
SS. Hib. pp. 112,115, n. 16.) His con- 
version is attributed to S. Brigid. He 
was a “ juvenis scholasticus," who, seeing 
S. Brigid, “ elevavit vestimenta," and ran 
swiftly like a buffoon. The saint, by her 
maidens, asked why he ran. He said 
that it behoved him to enter the king- 
dom of heaven, and sohe ran. The saint 
said that she wished she were fit to run 
with him, and asked his prayers. Hein 
reply besought hers, whereupon he was 
filled with the Holy Spirit and con- 
verted. Brigid prophesied that at her 
death she should receive the holy com- 
munion from his hand, wherefore, to 
keep it pure, he locked it up, and was 
called Ninnidh Lamhghlan, i.e. Ninnidius 
of the clean hand. He is said to have 
lived many years in Britain before S.

Brigid’s death. To him the point, 
erroneously called Kil Saint Ninian in 
Mull, belongs. 


NINOCH. Ninoch is found in the 
Dunkeld Litany among the virgins and 
widows. 


NORTE.—" In the parish of Callendar 
there is a hill at Little Leny where 


Norie's chapel stood, which is still used 
as a cemetery by those of the name of 


Buchanan.”—(O. 8. A. xi. 610.) At 
Norie’s Law, in Fife, interesting archzo- 
logical discoveries have been now and 
again made.—(Sculp. Stones of Scotland, 
vol. i. p. ii.) 


OBERT.—S. Obert is patron of the 
bakers in Perth, who were accustomed to 
perform a play in his honour on the 10th 
of December, which was known as S. 
Obert's Eve.—(Miscellany of Spottis- 
woode Society, vol ii pp. 243, 313; 
N.S. A,, Perth, p. 80.) 


OCOLMAN.—This saint occurs in 
the Dunkeld Litany among the “ sancti 
martyres." 


ODA, V. November 27.— S8. Oda, 
daughter of the holy Eugenius, king of 
Scotland, was celebrated both in Scotland 
and in Flanders.—(Camerarius, p. 200, 
‘Deed Molanus in indiculoet in addition- 
ibus ad Usuardum, Constantinus Ghinn- 
ius et alii.” “Ode virginis, filis» regis 
Scotie, que apud Rhodum in Taxandriá 
Brabantie corporaliter patrona requi- 
escit.”) She occurs in the Kalendar of 
King Charles I.’s prayer-book, probably 
in virtue of her royal descent. 


426 


ODHRAN, A. October 27.—Odhran, 
abbot of Hy and Tigh-airerain (Tyfarn- 
ham) in Meath. He is of the race of 
Conall Gulban, son of Niall.—(Mart. 
Donegal) The Felire has 


Odran abb saer snamach. 
[Odran the abbot, noble, buoyant (lit. 
swimming).] 
On which is the gloss— 
Odran sacerdos o Tigh Aireran a Mide no o 
Lethrachaib 
Odrain a Muscraige thire, ocus o Hi Coluim 
Cille, 2.e. Relic Odrain in Hii. 
[Odran the priest of Tech-Aireran in Meath, or 
of Lethracha 
Odhrain in Muscraighe-thire; and of Hy-Colum- 
cille, z.e. Relic Odrain in Hy.] 

In O’Donnell’s Life of S. Columba 
(Trias Thaum. p. 411) is the striking 
story of his death. On arriving at Hy, 
S. Columba said, that whoever willed to 
die first should not only go more quietly 
to Christ, but should confirm and ratify 
the right of the community to the island 
by taking corporal possession of it. 
Oran, wearied of the miseries of the 
present world, consented, whereupon S. 
Columba not only assured him of eternal 
happiness, but said that none who came 
to pray at his own sepulchre should re- 
ceive his petitions till he had first prayed 
at Oran's.— (T. Innes, Civ. and Eccl. 
Hist., p. 192.) There is a strange legend 
in the island, that, as he lay in his 
grave, before inhumation, he denied the 
future state, and was immediately covered 
up by the indignant abbot. 

He is remembered—1. in Relig-Oran 
in Hy (Orig. Par. ii 297; N.S. A, 
Argyle, p. 333) ; 2. in Killoran in Colon- 
say (Orig. Par. ii 280; O. 8. A. xii. 
328); 3. in Claodh Odhrain in Tiree 


ODHRAN—OLAVE. 


(Reeves, in Ulst. Jour. of Archeol., vol. 
ii p. 241). Oronsay, i.e. Oran's-ey, takes 
its name from him. — (Stuart's Sculp- 
tured Stones, vol. ii. p. 25.) 


OENGUS O'DONNALLAN.  De- 
cember 26, A.D. 1109. — Oengus o 
Donnellan, chief anchorite or confessor 
of the community of Columcille.—(An- 
nals of Ulster, ann; 1109.) 


OLAVE, K. and M. March 30.— 
King terms him *S. Ole, king of nor- 
wege, and martyr under henrie ye 
crowkit.” 

The legend states that Olave, king of 
Norvagia, was converted and baptized 
at Rouen in Gaul, and laying down 
his earthly arms, became a successful 
preacher. He was, however, dethroned 
and banished from his kingdom, which 
he bore patiently for Christ’s sake, and 
betook himself to Russia, where he was 
honourably received by Ager its king. 
At length a persecution broke out, and 
he returned to his own country through 
the territory of Suecia. He was there 
cruelly martyred by swords and staves, 
and a blind man was restored to sight 
by washing his eyes in the water stained 
by the martyr’s blood. A certain Ascla- 
vus was restored to speech, and a de- 
formed woman made straight. 

Invocated in battle by a Catholic 
Emperor of Constantinople, S. Olave ap- 
peared and put the pagan enemy to 
flight. 

Magnus, king of Norway, “wishing 
to ascertain the incorruptibility of S. 
Olave, king and martyr, ordered his 
mausoleum to be opened. On the bishop

and clergy resisting, the king himself 
audaciously approached and forcibly 
made the shrine be opened."— (Chron. 
Mannie, 1098, in Johnston's Antiq. 
Celto-Normann. p. 10. See Ulster Jour- 
nal of Archxology, vol i. p. 82; and 
Reeves' Adamnan, p. 410.) 

In Orkney we have S. Ollow's parish, 
now included in that of Kirkwall (Re- 
tours, Orkney and Shetland, 3, 73) ; S. 
Ollowe's Bridge in the town of Kirkwall 
(ibid. 76) ; and S. Olla's Isle (ibid. 73). 

* To the south-west of Girlsta, in Shet- 
land, at a distance of a few miles, is 
Whiteness, where was once a church 
dedicated to S. Olla, named S. Olla's 
Chair."—(Hibbert's Shetland, p. 460.) 

He is also found at Grease, in the 
island of Lewis.—(Martin’s Western 
Isles, 27.) See AULA. 

The Kirk of Cruden is dedicated to 
S. Olave or Oula, as the fishermen call 
him.—(See Stewart's Metrical Chron. of 
Scotland, ii. 613.) The right to the 
customs of S. Ole's fair, which was long 
held at the Kirk of Cruden, was bought 
by Mary, Countess of Errol, from the 
kirk-session, for an annual payment of 
£4,—(Cruden Sess. Records.) 

He had an altar in S. Salvator's .Col- 
lege, S. Andrews.—(Acta Domin. Concil. 
et Sess. t. ix. f. 25, MS. Gen, Register 
House.) 


ONANUS. December 29.—S. Onan, 
priest and hermit, was celebrated in 
that part of Scotland which is called 
the Carse of Gowrie, according to Les- 
ley (De Orig. Scot., lib. v.), Boece, and 
others. ] 

"There appears at this day in the 


427 


Irish Lists Enan of Glenn-Feidhle.— 
(Mart. Donegal p. 351) In the M. 
Tallaght we have “ Enani S. Glinni 
Faidhle." , 


ORLAND.—Near to Glammis is S. 
Orland, or S. Airland's Stone (O. S. A. 
ii. 126; N.S. A, Forfar, 345.) 

This is the corruption of some name, 
but what name there is nothing to show. 


OSWALD, K.and M. August 5, A.D. 
649, —The account of S. Oswald, in the 
Breviary of Aberdeen, is accurately 
abridged from B:eda's history ; but only 
the parts which specially refer to Scot- 
land are mainly dwelt on; as, his demand 
of a bishop from the Elders of the Scots, 
and the mission of S. Aidan (Beda, H. E. 
lib. ii. c. 3); his acting as interpreter 
(ibid.); and his domination over the 
Britons, Picts, Scots, and English (c. vi.) 
The story of his giving the dish to the 
poor (ibid.) is followed by the account of 
his death at Maserfeld or Winwick ; and 
then comes the miracle of the traveller's 
horse, of the paralytie girl, and of the 
burning thatch (c. xxxi.) 


OYNE.—In the parish of Rathen are 
two mounds, apparently formed by the 
hands of men. The one is called Tre- 
for Hill, and the other S. Oyne's. Some 
think they have been old encampments.— 
(N.S. A., Aberdeenshire, p. 295; O.S. A. 
vi. 20; V. D. A. p. 454)  Oyne is also 
the name of a parish in the Garioch, 
Aberdeenshire. The name, as applied 
to a saint, is probably one of the many 
corruptions of Adamnan. 


PALLADIUS, B. and C. July 6, 


428 


A.D. 430.—The collect for S. Palladius 
in the Aberdeen Breviary describes him 
as “ pontificem et fidei Catholicze aposto- 
lum pariter et doctorem." The legend 
makes him an Egyptian, trained by the 
monks Evagrius and the two Macarii. 
Warned by an angel, he goes to Rome, 
where he is raised to the episcopate by 
Pope Celestine, who sends him, in the 
eleventh year of Eugenius IL, A.D. 424, 
to preach the Roman and Catholic faith 
to the Scoti, who had already been made 
Christians by Marcus and Dionisius in 
the reign of Pope Victor, having pres- 
byters and monks as ministers of the 
sacraments, and following only the cus- 
toms and rites of the primitive church. 
Well received and endowed by Eugenius, 
they went preaching through all Scot- 
land, and on coming to Culross found S. 
Servanus, whom fS. Palladius ordained 
according to the custom of the Roman 
Church, and made him his suffragan. 
He enforced discipline and introduced 
Roman rites. He authorised the ob- 
servance of the canonical hours, and 
taught the people to confess to the priests. 
He baptized S. Ternanus in a fountain 
which miraculously sprang up for the 
purpose. At length, full of years, he 
died at Langforgund in the Mearns.— 
(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol. xxiv.) For- 
dun gives as authority for his Egyptian 
extraction Heraclides (Hearne) or So- 
crates (Goodall), and asserts that before 
his coming the Scots had for teachers 
and ministers priests and monks only, 
following the rite of the primitive 
church.—(Fordun, Scotich. iii. c. 8, vol. 
i p. 118, ed. Goodall.) Boece explains 
the change in the ecclesiastical constitu- 


PALLADTUS. 


tion, in the sense that before S. Pal- 
ladius the bishops were designated only 
by the suffrages of the monks and Cul- 
dees, but that he was sent by the 
Supreme Pontiff.—(Scotor. Hist. f. 128b, 
ed. 1575.) Fordun places him in the 
hundred-years’ life of Durst or Nectan, 
son of Erp.—(Scotichron. lib. iv. c. 11, t. 
i p. 187.) 

The real history of S. Palladius is 
involved in the greatest obscurity. 
Some have believed him to be the same 
as Patrick, but there is no probability 
in this We put our foot on firm 
ground when we rest on the statement 
of S. Prosper—^ Nec vero segniore cura 
(Ccelestinus) ab hoc eodem morbo (Pela- 
gianismo) Britannias liberavit, quando 
quosdam inimicos gratie solum suze 
originis occupantes, etiam ab illo secreto 
exclusit Oceani ; et ordinato Scotis epis- 
copo, dum Romanám insulam (majorem 
Britanniam) studet servare Catholicam, 
fecit etiam barbaram (Hiberniam) Chris- 
tianam."—(Contra Collat. c. xxi.; Opp. 
t. i p. 209a, ed. Venet. 1744.) But else- 
where a previous Christianity among 
the Scoti is recognised —“ Ad Scotos 
in Christum credentes ordinatur a Papa 
Ceelestino Palladius, et primus epis- 
copus mittitur."— (Prosper contra Col- 
lat. in Op. S. Aug, t. x. Appendix, 
p. 132, ed. Antwerp, 1700.) It would 
appear that S. Palladius was ill re- 
ceived in Ireland, and then went to 
Scotland, where he died. An authority 
before the 11th century (Vita prima Sti. 
Patricii scil Vet. Scholiaste Schol. in 
Hymn. S. Fieci, Colgan, Trias Thaum, 
p. 5a) says—^ Non fuit tamen (Pal- 
ladius) bene ab illis (Hibernis) ex- 


PALLADIUS. 


ceptus, sed coactus circuire oras Hiber- 
nie versus aquilonem, donec tan- 
dem; tempestate magná pulsus, venerit 
ad extremam partem Modhaidh versus 
austrum ; ubi fundavit ecclesiam For- 
dun; et Pledi est nomen ejus ibi" 
His relies were at Fordun, and were 
translated to a certain chapel in the 
time of the compiler of the Aberdeen 
Martyrology. This was done by Arch- 
bishop Schevez in 1494. — (Boethius, 
Scotor. Hist. f. 128b, ed. 1575.) He 
is stil commemorated in that neigh- 
bourhood in the name of the Padie Fair, 
which is held on his day. 

We may suppose that S. Palladius 
was a native of Gaul from his connection 
with Germanus of Auxerre, and from 
the fact that the Palladian family was 
eminent in that country. Sidonius 
Apollinaris, speaking of Simplicius, 
Archbishop of Bourges, A.D. 472, whose 
wife was daughter of his predecessor in 
the see, says—“Uxor illi de Palladiorum 
stirpe descendit, qui aut literarum aut 
altarium cathedras cum sui ordinis 
laude tenuerunt."—(Epist. lib. vii. 9.) 
Moreover, Augustinus and Benedict, 
his disciples, returned home after 
their master’s death, and reported it 
at Ebmoria or Eboria, which authori- 
ties agree must have been in Gaul. The 
assertion of the Bollandist Father, Sol- 
lerius, that he was an Italian—“Clericum 
Italum fuisse sanctum nostrum Pal- 
ladium"— seems to rest entirely on S. 
Prospers words—*Romanae ecclesiae 
diaconus." —(Acta SS. Jul. t. ii. p. 288.) 

Palladius seems to have been con- 
nected with the mission sent, most pro- 
bably by the Gallican Church, to ex- 


429 


tirpate Pelagianism in Britain. S. 
Prosper says, “ Agricola Pelagianus, 
Severiani Pelagiani episcopi filius, ec- 
clesias Britannie dogmatis sui insinua- 
tione corrupit. Sed ad actionem Palladii 
diaconi Papa Coslestinus Germanum 
Autissiodorensem episcopum vice sua 
mittit ut deturbatis hereticis, Britannos 
ad Catholicam fidem dirigat" (Chron. 
—Opp. p. 4322, ed. Venet. 1744), which 
may be taken to mean that Germanus 
employed Palladius to obtain the sanc- 
tion of the Pope to the mission. 

The mission of Palladius himself was 
to the Scoti of Ireland. On the words 
of S. Prosper already quoted, “Dum 
Romanam insulam studuit servare Catho- 
licam fecit etiam barbaram Christianam," 
Sollerius remarks, “Insula barbara, ab 
insula Britannica Romana sejuncta et 
contradistincta non potest non esse 
Hibernia.”—(Acta SS. loco citato.) In 
Scotland the Church had already been 
planted by S. Ninian, of whom we read 
—“Coepit deinde sacer Pontifex or- 
dinare presbyteros, consecrare episcopos 

. . . totam terram per certas paro- 
chias dividere." — (Ailredi Vit. S. 
Niniani, c. vi., apud Pinkerton, Vite SS. 
Scot. p. 11.) And while the Kalendar 
of the Brev. Aberd. calls Palladius 
* Apostolus Seotorum," the Lessons, as 
we have seen, fully recognise the previous 
introduction of Christianity. "That the 
Picts after their first conversion had 
from time to time lapsed into heathenism, 
is clear from the remarkable expression 
of S. Patrick in his letter to Coroticus, 
where he speaks of “the apostate 
Picts.” 

However, no ancient author states 


430 


that Palladius was sent to extirpate 
Pelagianism. In Ireland there was none. 

S. Palladius landed in the country of 
the Hy Garchon, descendants of Garchu. 
* Venit ergo Palladius in Hiberniam 
et appulit in regione de Hi Garrchon in 
extremis Lagenie finibus"—the lower 
districts of Leinster, called the region of 
the Fortuatha Laighen, “the stranger 
tribes,” in the neighbourhood of Wick- 
low. 

The Life of S. Patrick tells us that he 
was ill received in Ireland, and did not 
long remain, and that on his return 
home he died in the land of the Britons. 
—‘Nam neque hii feri et inmites 
homines facile reciperunt doctrinam 
ejus, neque et ipse voluit transegere 
tempus in terra non sua ; sed reversus ad 
eum qui missit illum. Revertente vero eo 
hine et primo mari transito coeptoque 
terrarum itenere Britonum finibus vita 
factus" [functus].—(B. of Armagh, fol. 
2a.) Not later than A.D. 700 is the 
supposed date of this Life. 

The * Annotations of Tirechan," of 
equal antiquity, add that he was also 
called Patricius, and suffered martyrdom 
among the Scots ;—“Paladius epis- 
copus primo mittitur qui Patricius alio 
nomine appellabatur, qui martyrium 
passus est apud Scottos, ut tradunt 
sancti antiqui.”—(Ibid. fol. 162a.) 

Nennius mentions the storm allud- 
ed to in the Scholia on S. Fiecc’s 
Hymn, and says— Profectus est ille 
Palladius de Hibernia et pervenit ad 
Brittanniam et bi defunctus est in terra 
Pictorum."—(Hist. Britt. $ 50, p. 42, ed. 
Stevenson.) The Irish version of Nen- 
nius has only—* Pledius was driven 


PALLADIUS—PALMER. 


from Eri, and he went and served God 
in Fordun, in Mairne." 

The author of the Secunda Vita, in 
Colgan's Collection, writing about A.D. 
900, and probably founding on ancient 
documents, mentions three churches 
founded by Palladius in the country of 
the Hy Garrchon, in one of which, 
Cellfine, he left the relies of SS. Peter 
and Paul, his books and tablets, * which 
remain even to the present day ;" and 
in another, his companions, Sylvester 
and Salonius, were buried ; and, without 
giving any reason for his leaving Ire- 
land, tells us—* After a short time 
Palladius died in the plain of Girgin, 
in a place which is called Forddun. 
But others say he was crowned with 
martyrdom there.”—(cap. 24; Trias 
Thaum. p. 13.) 

The Life attributed by Colgan to S. 
Aileran, but probably written about the 
close of the eighth century, says that 
Palladius remained only a few days in 
Treland—* paucis ibi diebus permansit" 
—and that “S. Palladius, seeing that he 
could not do much good there, wishing 
to return to Rome, migrated to the 
Lord in the region of the Picts. Others, 
however, say that he was crowned with 
martyrdom in Hibernia.”—(cap. 38; 
Trias Thaum. p. 38.) The Scholiast 
of Aingus the Culdee states an opinion 
that Palladius is Torannan, the far- 
famed voyager. See TERNAN.— (See 
Todd's S. Patrick, pp. 270-318.) 


PALMER.—S. Mathias's fair is held 
at S. Palmer’s Chapel at Redeastle, Ross- 
shire, on the last Wednesday of February.

PATRICIANUS—PATRICIUS. 


Cross is the name of a considerable dis- 
trict in the town of Arbroath, and there 
is a spot of the same name near Elgin ; 
but these manifestly take their names 
from the pilgrims who approached the 
Abbey and Cathedral in their vicinity. 


PATRICIANUS, B. November 28. 
—A bishop celebrated, according to 
Camerarius (p. 200) in Sutherland, i.e. 
Sodor, or the Isle of Man. Boethius 
says that he fled from the persecution of 
the Saxons to King Congal who en- 
dowed him with lands in Mona, where 
he lived usefully and died blessedly.— 
(Scotor. Hist. lib. viii. ed. 1575, f. 151b.) 
Dempster, at the 10th of October, has 
* In Scotid Patriciani facundissimi divini 
verbi preconis et episcopi." 


PATRICIUS, B. and C. March 17, 
A.D. 493.—The chief sources from which 
the acts of S. Patrick are known are 
the following works :— 

1. The Hymn of S. Fiece, Bishop in 
Sletty, who, being consecrated by S. Pat- 
rick himself, wrote probably the earliest 
history of the Saint. It is commented 
on by an ancient Scholiast.—(Colgan, 
Trias Thaum. pp. 1-10.) 

2. The second Life in Colgan's Col- 
lection, written by an Irishman after 
S. Fiece’s death, was found in a MS. 
at S. Hubert in the Ardennes.—(Ibid. 
pp. 11-20.) 

3. The third Life was communicated 
to Colgan by Stephen White, S.J., from 
a MS. preserved at Biburg in Bavaria. 
It was probably written by S. Benig- 
nus, S. Patrick's coarb at Armagh, who 
flourished before 527.— (Ibid. pp. 21-35.) 


431 


4. The fourth Life is attributed, from 
the goodness of the style, to S. Aileran 
the Wise, our Scottish S. Reane. The 
author seems to have lived not long 
after the beginning of the seventh cen- 
tury.—(Ibid. pp. 35-50.) 

5. The fifth Life is by Probus.—(Ibid. 
pp. 51-64.) 

6. The sixth is by Joceline, a monk 
of Furness Abbey, written about 1185. 
—(Ibid. pp. 64-116.) 

7. The Tripartite Life, attributed by 
Colgan to S. Evin, is older than the 
preceding. 

8. An Abecedarian Hymn by S. 
Secundinus is a mere record of his vir- 
tues, and gives no new facts.—(Ibid. 
p. 211.) 

9. Certain memoirs of the Saint, 
compiled about 750, and recorded in 
the Book of Armagh, transcribed about 
809 by Ferdomnach, a scribe who died 
in 845, seem to be the oldest and 
most authentic notices of the Saint now 
in existence. In the same volume is 
a copy of the celebrated Confession, 
from which, and from the Saint’s letter 
to Coroticus, we obtain his own account 
of his life, The latter is given by Sir 
James Ware (S. Patricii Opuscula, pp. 
1-30), and from a different source by 
the Bollandists at the 17th of March, 
and after them by Villanueva in his *S. 
Patricii Synodi, Canones, Opuscula," p. 
184 (Dublin, 1835). 

The life of S. Patrick in the Aber- 
deen Breviary states that he sprang 
from a noble family of Scoti, his father 
being termed Calphurnius, his mother 
being a Frenchwoman, Conkessa, a 


sister of S. Martin of Tours. He was 


432 


conceived at Dumbertane, and born at 
Kilpatrick. He was called by his god- 
parents Suthat (see Hymn of Fiecc), by 
S. Germanus in Gaul Magonius (Scho- 
liast on do.), and finally by Pope Cceles- 
tine Patricius. After detailing some 
miracles of his faith, the story goes on to 
tell how when he was sixteen he was 
carried off by pirates into Hibernia, and 
sold to a chief called Meltho. After 
six years passed in the feeding of 
swine, he bought his freedom with a piece 
of gold miraculously found ; and though 
his master tried to bring him back to 
his old slavery, he succeeded, after a 
three days' voyage, in escaping to Scotia. 
In spite of a dream in which the un- 
born children of Hibernia invoked his 
presence, he betook himself to S. Ger- 
manus of Auxerre, with whom he studied 
the Christian religion for forty years. 
Then he received the monastic habit 
from his uncle S. Martin. After that 
he betook himself to Rome in company 
with a holy presbyter Segecius, whom 
Germanus had appointed his companion. 
He was well received by Pope Celestine, 
and soon after consecrated bishop. He 
was sent with twenty others as apostle 
to Hibernia, where during sixty years 
he laboured and converted the whole 
island. After describing a miracle, how 
a leper sailed on an altar-slab beside his 
ship, his conquest of the magicians, and 
various other portents, are declared. He 
is stated to have consecrated 365 
churches and as many bishops; to have 
ordained 3000 priests, and baptized 
12,000 people; to have led to the font 
in one day seven sons of King Almogitht ; 
to have fasted forty days and forty

nights on Mount Hely, where he saw the 
Lord face to face, and he ordained that 
a Purgatory should be made. After 120 
years he ascended to heaven.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol. 1xx.b.) 

This numeration approaches to the 
other lists of S. Patrick's episcopal acts so 
nearly that all must be referred to some 
common tradition. The Tripartite Life 
makes the number 370 bishops, 5000 
priests, innumerable clerks of the inferior 
orders, and 700 sacred edifices of all kinds. 
The Four Masters make the number 700 
churches, 700 bishops, 3000 priests. 
The poem of Aileran from the Leabhar 
Breae gives 350 bishops, 300 priests, 
and 700 churches.—(Todd's S. Patrick, 
p. 28, n) 

It is an error to suppose that it was 
he who introduced Christianity into Ire- 
land. If he is not S. Palladius he was a 
little posterior in date to him, and Pros- 
per distinctly says that Palladius was 
sent “ad Scotos in Christum creden- 
tes "—to the Irish who already believed 
in Christ; and in the Tripartite Life 
(Colgan, Trias Thaum. p. 134) there is the 
remarkable story of the stone cave in 
Dumha-graidh, where was an altar under 
ground at the time of the ordination of 
S. Ailbe. What was the organisation 
of the Irishmen believing in Christ, by 
whom they were converted, who were 
their bishops, we know not; but it seems 
clear that Christianity, in some form or 
other, existed before S. Patrick. Ussher, 
in his Antiquities (Works, vol. vi. pp. 
408, 412), endeavours to show that SS. 
Ailbe, Declan, Ibar, and Kieran of 
Saighir, preached in different parts of 
Treland before the mission of Patrick. 


PATRICIUS. 


This, however, Lanigan seeks to dis- 
prove. There is also the mysterious 
Sen-Patrick, the Senex Patricius, who 
must have preceded these. 

Sen-Patrick, according to the Annals 
of Ulster, **as some books state, went to 
his rest in 457” (458), while the later 
Patrick died in 493 ; but the thirty years 
that interpose between those events are 
not sufficient to enable us to assign 
either the Confessio or the letter to 
Coroticus to one or other; but the 
existence of two Patricks is certain from 
the verses at the 17th of March and the 
24th of August in the Felire of Aingus 
the Culdee, where both are mentioned, 
and the elder one described as “the 
mild preceptor of our patron.” In the 
Hymn of S. Fiecc also S. Patrick is said 
at his death to have gone to the other 
Patrick, and both ascended together to 
Jesus the Son of Mary.—(Trias Thaum. 
p. 3.) 

* The legend of S. Patrick in its present 
shape is not older than the ninthcentury, 
and under the influence of an investiga- 
tion into older authorities, he dissolves 
into three personages : — Sen-Patrick, 
whose day in the Kalendar is the 24th 
of August; Palladius, qui est Patricius, 
to whom the mission in 432 properly 
belongs, and who is said to have re- 
turned to Alba or Scotland, where he 
died among the Cruithne ; and Patricius 
whose day is the 17th of March, and to 
whom alone a certain date can be 
assigned, for he died in 493 ;—and from 
the acts of these three saints the subse- 
quent legend of the great Apostle of 
Ireland was compiled, and an arbitrary 
chronology applied to it.”—(Skene’s In- 


433 


troduction to the Dean of Lismore’s 
Book, p. Lxxiii.) 

There seems no doubt that the Con- 
fession of S. Patrick, transcribed from 
the volume which he himself wrote into 
the Book of Armagh in the end of the 
eighth or beginning of the ninth cen- 
tury, is authentic, as well as the letter 
to Coroticus or Caradoc, a Prince of 
Wales. It is probable also that his 
Lorica, which was believed to have great 
efficacy, and which has all the roll and 
swing of the dithyrambic compositions 
of Venantius Fortunatus, is really his. 

Colgan apparently had seen none of 
these. He alludes to other writings of 
the saint which seem to be lost, espe- 
cially a book of Proverbs, some volumes 
of Canons and Monastic Rules, the Sen- 
chus Mor (a great work on the ancient 
laws of Ireland), composed by three 
bishops, three kings, and three anti- 
quaries (Annals of the Four Masters, 
ann. 438, vol. i p. 133); a treatise on 
“The Three Habitations,” attributed to 
S. Augustine (Opera, t. vi. p. 639, Ant- 
werp, 1700) ; and another on the Abuses 
ofthe Age. Other works of his are men- 
tioned, but deemed certainly spurious. 
He wrote also various Abjectoria, or 
alphabets which the saint gave to those 
whom he baptized. — (Colgan, Trias 
Thaum. p. 214) What is mentioned 
by Colgan as the Canoin-Phadraig is 
probably only another name for the 
Book of Armagh.

QUERANUS or KYRANUS. Bep- 
tember 9, A.D. 548.—Adam King at this 
day has *S. Queranus, Abot in Scot- 
land under King Ethus.” Usuardus and 
the Roman Martyrology of Baronius has 
* In Scotia Querani Abbatis. Sollerius 
says that this name, with that of Ando- 
mar, obtained this place in the sacred 
tablets by the singular diligence of 
Usuard. He adds that he possessed a 
MS. life of the saint, with various anno- 
tations, in due time to be digested. 
Camerarius calls him * Abbas Foilensis in 
Scotia.” The Martyrology of Aberdeen 
more correctly gives him as an Irish 
saint (the only one described as Irish, 
except S. Finnan), on the day before 
the ides of September. “In Yberniá Sti. 
Kyrani viri Dei cujus vita claris miraculis 
in Christi ecclesia fulsit." He is infact the 
well-known Ciaran Macantsaor, or son 


435 


of the carpenter, Abbot of Clonmacnois. 
Beoaidh was his father, and Darerca his 
mother, descended from the poet Glas. 
He died at the age of 33, AD. 548, 
and was likened to Christ both on ac- 
count of his age and that his father was 
a carpenter like Joseph Cele Muire.— 
(Mart. Donegal, p. 241.) Both S. Patrick 
and a heathen magus predicted his fame 
before his birth. His father, crushed by 
the taxation of the king of Ainmire, left 
his native land for Connaught, where, in 
the field Ay, he first saw the light, and 
was baptized by Dermitius. Hearing of 
the fame of S. Finnan of Cluain-iraird, 
he betook himself to his school.—(Brus- 
sels MS. fol 77.) He never looked 
upon a woman, and never told a lie. 
He becomes S. Piran in Cornwall.— 
(See Hardy's Descriptive Catalogue, i. 
p. 102; Skene’s Four Ancient Books 
of Wales, vol. i p. 123.) He composed 
a lay asking God for long life to serve 
Him in. His name was well known in 
Scotland,—* nomen per Hiberniam et 
Albaniam celeberrimum." His being so 
well known there and so much revered, 
in preference to several other Irish saints, 
was, I daresay, owing a great deal to 
the esteem in which he was held by S. 
Columba, who is said to have written a 
hymn in praise of Kieran, beginning 
with these lines— 


Quantum Christi, O, apostolum 
Mundo misisti hominem ? 
Lucerna hujus insule. — 
(Lanigan, Eccles. Hist. t. ii. p. 61; 
Trias Thaum. p. 472.) 


S. Columba is said to have carried some 
clay from his grave. On getting into 
the eddy of Corryvreckan he threw it 


436 


into the sea, and he was saved. — 
(Reeves’ Adamnan, pp. 24, 263.) We 
find him— 
1. In Strathmore in Caithness. 
2. At Fetteresso. 
3. Near it in Glenbervie, where is his 
well. 
4. At Kilkerran, Kintyre (Orig. Par.

lendars at this day gives us Aireran

interpretation of the progenitors of Christ 
(Fleming's Collectanea, pp. 182-192), 
and possibly of the * Vita quarta" of 
Saint Patrick. — (See Colgan, Trias 
Thaum. p. 44.) 


REGULUS or RULE. March 30 and 
October 17.—The commemoration of 
the Scotch S. Regulus occurs in the Bre- 
viary of Aberdeen on March 30, the same 
day as that of “S. Regulus or Rieul, who, 
having converted the country of Senlis 
to the faith, about the same time that S. 
Dionysius preached in France, was made 
first bishop of Senlis, and died in peace 
in the midst of his flock.” —(Alban But- 
ler ad diem, on the authority of the 
Bollandists and Tillemont.) So Usuardus, 
* Apud castrum Silvanectensium, de- 
positio Sancti Reguli episcopi et confes- 
soris."—(Ed. Soller. p. 180.) Another 
day, the 17th of October, is also kept 
in his honour: Quoniam in quadrage- 
simá de eo non fuerit servitium, omnia 
sicut in alio festo, sed differtur in cras- 
tinum (Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol 
exxviii) ; and it is remarkable that the 
16th of October is the day of S. Ria- 
ghail, abbot of Muicinis, in Lough Derg 
on the Shannon (Mart. Donegal) He is 
commemorated in the Felire of ZEngus 
at October 16th as 

Riaguil raith arremsin. 
[Riagail gifted was his career.] 


REGULUS. 


which is glossed by 
i, Riagail Muicindsi fa Loch dere. 

(i.e. Riaghail of Muicinis in Loch Derg.] 

The Breviary of Aberdeen says that 
he is specially honoured in S. Andrews 
and its diocese. The Martyrology of 
Aberdeen associates him with the church 
of Kylrewni. 

The early history of S. Andrews is 
involved in the greatest obscurity. 
So early as 598, S. Cainneach died, 
and he was connected with an abbey 
church in Cill-righmonaigh. Tighernach 
records the death of Tuathalan, its abbot, 
as occurring one hundred and fifty-one 
years after this. These are evidently 
Scoto-Irish, and probably Regulus may 
have been the same as the Riaghail of 
Muic-inis, just mentioned ; but the diffi- 
culty is that he is recognised as an ac- 
credited saint in the Martyrology of 
Tallaght about 788, whereas criticism 
makes the advent of S. Regulus from 
the East to occur in the eighth century, 
thus giving a very short time for pub- 
lic acknowledgment, if not for formal 
canonisation. 

The Regulus legend, as believed in 
Scotland, first occurs in the Colbertine 
MS. in the Bibliothéque Imperiale. 
There is also a legend, apparently of 
the early part of the fourteenth century, 
in the Harleian Collection in the British 
Museum, and the last form is that given 
in the Breviary of Aberdeen. With re- 
ference to these various forms of the 
legend, Mr. W. F. Skene has the follow- 
ing remarks :— 

“In comparing these three editions, it 
will be convenient to divide the narra- 
tive into three distinct statements. 


437 


“ The first is the removal of the relics 
of S. Andrew from Patras to Constan- 
tinople. The Colbertine account states 
that St. Andrew, after preaching to the 
northern nations, the Scythians and Pic- 
tones, received in charge the district of 
Achaia, with the city of Patras, and was 
there crucified; that his bones re- 
mained there tillthe time of Constan- 
tine the Great, and his sons Constantius 
and Constans, for 270 years, when they 
were removed to Constantinople, where 
they remained til the reign of the 
Emperor Theodosius. 

* The account in the MS. of the Priory 
of S. Andrews states, that in the year 
345, Constantius collected a great army 
to invade Patras, in order to avenge 
the martyrdom of S. Andrew, and re- 
move his relics; that an angel appeared 
to the custodiers of the relics, and 
ordered Regulus, the bishop, with his 
clergy, to proceed to the sarcophagus 
which contained his bones, and to take 
a part of them, consisting of three fin- 
gers of the right hand, a part of one of 
the arms, the pan of one of the knees, 
and one of his teeth, and conceal them, 
and that the following day Constantius 
entered the city, and carried off to 
Rome the shrine containing the rest of 
his bones ; that he then laid waste the 
Insula Tyberis and Colossia, and took 
thence the bones of S. Luke and S. 
Timothy, and carried them along with 
the relics of S.'Andrew to Constan- 
tinople. 

“The Aberdeen Breviary says that, in 
the year 360, Regulus flourished at 
Patras in Achaia, and was custodier of 
the bones and relics of S. Andrew ; that 


438 


Constantius invaded Patras in order to 
avenge the martyrdom of S. Andrew; 
that an angel appeared to him, and de- 
sired him to conceal a part of the relics, 
and that after Constantius had removed 
the rest of the relics to Constantinople, 
this angel again appeared to him, and 
desired him to take the part of the 
relics he had concealed, and to transport 
them to the western region of the 
world, where he should lay the founda- 
tion of a church in honour of the 
apostle. Here the growth of the legend 
is very apparent. In the oldest edition, 
we are told of the removal of the relics 
to Constantinople, without a word of 
Regulus. In the second, we have the 
addition of Regulus concealing a part of 
the relics in obedience to a vision; and 
in the third, we have a second vision 
directing him to found a church in the 
west. This part of the legend, as we 
find it in the oldest edition, belongs, in 
fact, to the legend of S. Andrew, where 
it is stated that, after preaching to the 
Scythians, he went to Argos, where he 
also preached, and finally suffered mar- 
tyrdom at Patras; and that, in the 
year 337, his body was transferred from 
Patras to Constantinople with those of 
S. Luke and S. Timothy, and deposited 
in the church of the apostles, which had 
been built some time before by Con- 
stantine the Great. 

* When I visited Greece in the year 
1844, I was desiroüs of ascertaining 
whether any traces of this legend still 
remained at Patras. 
Patras I could find no church dedicated 
toS. Andrew, but I observed a small 
and very old-looking Greek monastery, 


In the town of. 


REGULUS. 


about a mile to the west of it, on the 
shore of the Gulf of Patras, and pro- 
ceeding there, I found one of the caloyeres 
or Greek monks, who spoke Italian, and 
who informed me that the monastery 
was attached to the adjacent church of 
S. Andrew built over the place where 
he had suffered martyrdom. He took 
me into the church, which was one of 
the small Byzantine buildings so common 
in Greece, and showed me the sarco- 
phagus from which, he said, the relics 
had been removed, and also, at the door 
of the church, the spot where his cross 
had been raised, and a well called S. 
Andrew's Well. Icould find, however, 
no trace of S, Regulus. 

* The second part of the legend in the 
oldest edition represents a Pictish king 
termed Ungus, son of Urguist, waging 
war in the Merse, and being surrounded 
by his enemies. As the king was walk- 
ing with his seven comites, a bright light 
shines upon them ; they fall to the earth, 
and a voice from heaven says, ‘ Ungus, 
Ungus, hear me, an apostle of Christ 
called Andrew, who am sent to defend 
and guard thee. He directs him to 
attack his enemies, and desires him to 
offer the tenth part of his inheritance 
in honour of S. Andrew. Ungus obeys, 
and is victorious. 

“Tn the S. Andrews edition, Ungus's 
enemy is said to have been Athelstane, 
king of the Saxons, and his camp at 
the mouth of the river Tyne. S. Andrew 
appears to Ungus in a dream, and pro- 
mises him victory, and tells him that 
the relics will be brought to his kingdom, 
and the place to which they are brought 
is to become honoured and celebrated. 


REGULUS. 


The people of the Picts swear to vener- 
ate S. Andrew ever after, if they prove 
victorious. Athelstane is defeated, his 
head taken off, and carried to a place 
called Ardchinnichan, or Portus Regine. 

“The Breviary of Aberdeen does not 
contain this part of the legend. 

“The third part of the legend in the 
oldest narrative represents one of the 
custodiers of the body of S. Andrew at 
Constantinople, directed by an angel in 
a vision to leave his house, and to go to 
a place whither the angel will direct him. 
He proceeds prosperously to ‘verticem 
montis regis id est rigmond. Then the 
king of the Picts comes with his army, 
and Regulus, a monk, a stranger from the 
city of Constantinople, meets him with 
the relics of S. Andrew at a harbour 
which is called ‘Matha, id est mordurus,’ 
and King Ungus dedicates that place 
and city to God and S. Andrew ‘ut 
sit caput et mater omnium ecclesiarum 
que sunt in regno Pictorum. It must 
be remembered here that this is the 
first appearance of the name of Regulus 
in the old legend, and that it is evidently 
the same King Ungus who is referred to 
in both parts of the story. The 8. 
Andrews edition of the legend relates 
this part of the story much more cir- 
cumstantially. According to it, Regulus 
was warned by the angel to sail with the 
relics towards the north, and wherever 
his vessel was wrecked, there to erect a 
church in honour of S. Andrew. He 
voyages among the islands of the Greek 
sea for a year.and a half, and wherever 
he lands he erects an oratory in honour 
of S. Andrew. At length he lands in 
‘terra Pictorum ad locum qui Muckros 


439 


fuerat nuncupatus, nunc autem Kilrymont 
dictus ;’ and his vessel having been 
wrecked he erects a cross he had brought 
from Patras. After remaining there 
seventeen days or nights, Regulus goes 
with the relics to Forteviot, and finds 
there the three sons of King Hungus, 
viz. Owen, Nectan, and Finguine, who, 
being anxious as to the life of their 
father, then on an expedition ‘in par- 
tibus Argatheliz,’ give the tenth part of 
Forteviot to God and S. Andrew. They 
then go to a place called ‘Moneclatu, 
qui nunc dieitur Monichi, and there 
Finchem, the queen of King Hungus, is 
delivered of a daughter called Mowren, 
who was afterwards buried at Kilrymont; 
and the queen gives the place to God 
and S. Andrew. They then cross the 
mountain called Moneth, and reach a 
place called ‘Doldancha, nunc autem 
dictus Chondrochedalvan, where they 
meet King Hungus returning from his 
expedition, who prostrates himself before 
the relics, and this place is also given 
to God and S. Andrew. They return 
across the Moneth to Monichi, where a 
church was built in honour of God and 
the apostle, and thence to Forteviot, 
where a church is also built. King 
Hungus then goes with the clergy to 
Kilrymont, when a great part of that 
place is given to build churches and 
oratories, and a large territory is given 
as parochia. The boundaries of this 
parochia can still be traced, and consisted 
of that part of Fife lying to’ the east of 
a line drawn from Largs to Nauchton. 
Within this line was the district called 
the Boar's Chase, containing the modern 
parishes of S. Andrews, Cameron, Dair- 


440 


sie, Kemback, Ceres, Denino, and Kings- 
muir; and besides this district, the fol- 
lowing parishes were included in the 
parochia,—viz. Crail Kingsbarns, An- 
struther, Abercromby, S. Monance, 
Kelly, Elie, Newburgh, Largo, Leuchars, 
Forgan, and Logie-Murdoch. 

* Tt is impossible to doubt that there 
is a historic basis of some kind for this 
part of the legend. The circumstantial 
character of the narrative is of a kind 
not likely to be invented. The place 
beyond the Moneth or Grampians, called 
Chondrochedalvan, is plainly the church 
of Kindrochet in Braemar, which was 
dedicated to St. Andrew.  Monichi is 
probably not Monikie in Forfarshire, 
as that church was in the diocese of 
Brechin, but a church called Eglis 
Monichti, now in the parish of Monifieth, 
which was in the diocese of S. Andrews, 
and Forteviot was also in the diocese of 
S. Andrews. 

* According to the account in the 
Breviary, Regulus, after the relics had 
been removed to Constantinople, takes 
the portion he had concealed, and sails 
with them for two years till he arrives 
* ad terram Scottorum,' where he lands 
and enters the ‘nemus porcorum, 
and there builds a church, and preaches 
to the neighbouring people far and 
wide. EHungus, king of the Picts, sees 
a company of angels hover over the 
relies of the apostle, and comes with his 
army to Regulus, who baptizes him with 
all his servants, and receives a grant of 
the land, which is set apart to be the 
chief seat and mother church of Scot- 
land."—(Skene's Notice of the Early 
Ecclesiastical Settlements at S. Andrews, 


RENNY—REYNERIUS. 


in Proceedings Soc. Antiq. Scot. vol. iv. 
pp. 301-307.) 

S. Regulus is patron of Monifieth 
(Edin. Prognostication for 1706); of 
Kennethmont, where there is an ancient 
fair, called Trewell fair, on the second 
Tuesday in October (V. D. A. p. 623), 
and of Meikle Folla (V. D. A. 493) ; also 
a chapel at S. Cyrus or Ecclesgreg. 


RENNY. December 2.—This is the 
saint of Kilrenny, anciently Kylrethyny, 
popularly, by the sailors, called S. Irnie. 
It is probably a corruption of Ethernan, 
q.v.—(O. S. A. i. 409; xvii 147; 
N.S, A., Fife, 990.) 

Mr. Skene says, “ This is of course a 
corruption from the real name, and, I 
should say, a very natural corruption 
from Itharnan of 2d December. 

“Tn the east of Scotland Celtic names 
have a twofold corruption ; one where 
the name is hardened, the other where 
it is softened. Thus, Fother is hardened 
to Fetter, as in Fetteresso ; softened to 
For, as in Fordoun; and Itharnan is 
hardened to Eddran, and would be soft- 
ened to Irnan. But the old name of 
Kilrenny is against this. It is always 
Kilrethni. 

“The only name I can find in the 
Trish Kalendar which approaches this, is 
in the Martyrology of Tallaght, at 9th 
August — Rattenat of Cillerathnaite.” 
Cillerathnaite is very near Kilrenny. 


REYNERIUS.—He was second abbot 
of the Cistercian monastery of Kinloss, 
and is mentioned as witness in a charter 
granted by William the Lion to Richard, 
Bishop of Moray, of his bishopric and

church of Elgin.— (Keith's Scottish 
Bishops, ed. Russel, p. 419.) 

He was said to have recalled to life 
two travellers who had either killed each 
other, or had been slain by robbers. 
Wherefore pilgrims throughout Scotland 
invoked him.—(Dempster.) He was 
elected in 1173, in the place of Asce- 
linus, having before that been a monk of 
Melrose.—(Chron. de Mailros, p. 86, ed. 
Stevenson.) In 1189, when Arnaldus, 
Abbot of Melrose, was elected to Rievaux, 
the Abbot of Kinloss succeeded to his 
vacant place.—(Ibid. p. 97.) On the 17th 
of September 1194 he resigned his office,

E. de Rievalle humiliter assignavit."

p. 589, quoting Macfarlane’s Collections.) 


RONAN, B. and C. February 7.— 
Beyond the mere mention of his com- 
memoration as S. Ronan, bishop at Kil- 
maronen, in Levenax, in the body of the 
Breviary of Aberdeen, there is nothing 
said about this saint. There are no 
lessons nor rubrical directions concern- 
ing his service. The name does not 
occur in the Arbuthnott Kalendar. 
Camerarius (p. 96) makes this Ronanus 


441 


the same as he who is mentioned by 
Beda (H. E. lib. iiic. 25). This Ronan 
died in A.D. 778. The Ulster Annals 
give, at 737 (736), “ Mors Ronain Ab- 
batis Cinngaraid."  ZEngus places this 
saint at the 9th of February, and com- 
memorates him as 


Espuc Ronain rigda. 
[Bishop Ronan the kingly.] 


upon which is the note 


i Liss mor Mochuda ata. 
[In Lismor Mochuda he is.] 


He is connected with the following 
localities in Scotland :— 

1. The Kilmaronen in Levenax is 
probably the parish of Kilmaronock, 
the name of which is formed from that 
of the saint, with its honorific prefix and 
suffix, Ma-ron-og. It is in the county 
and parish of Dumbarton. The Old 
Statistical Account (xi. p. 206) says that 
among the antiquities are two Romish 
chapels.—(See Orig. Par. i. 34.) 

2. Kilmaronag, in Muckairn, takes 
its name from this saint.—(Orig. Par. 
ii. 132, 827.) 

3. The ancient name of the parish 
church of Hy was Tempul Ronain.— 
(Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 416.) 

4. Eoroby, in the old parish of Ness. 
—(Orig. Par. ii 388 ; Martin, West- 
ern Isles, p. 27.) 

5. Island of Ronay, off Raasay. 

6. There is an island sixty miles to 
the north-north-east of the Lewes called 
Rona, whereon is a little teampull, 14 ft. 
8 in. by 8 ft. 3 in, and some crosses. 
Local legends tell that he came from Eor- 
rapiall (where is a chapel dedicated by 
him) to Rona on a whale, and that he 


9L 


442 


found it inhabited by hairy creatures 
who backed out into the sea before him, 
leaving their marks in scratches on the 
rocks. — (Muir's Characteristics of Archi- 
tecture, p. 199 ; Martin's Western Islands, 
19-25; Orig. Par. ii. 389 ; O. S. A. xix. 
271.) 

7. There is also a little islet on the 
west coast of the Mainland in Zetland, 
called S. Ronan's Isle. “Very far 
south (in the bay of Scalloway on the 
Mainland) lies the peninsulated eminence 
of S. Ronan’s, joined to the Mainland 
by a low sandbank, which in high tides 
or gales is occasionally overflowed. The 
foundations appear of an old chapel— 
(Hibbert's Shetland, p. 450.) 


ROWAN. At Monzievaird we find 
S. Rowan. His bell exists.—(Proc. Soc. 
of Antiq. Scot: vol. i. p. 20; Archeol, 
Scotica, vol. ii. p. 75.) Strowan in Perth- 
shire takes its name from the saint, and 
seems to identify him with Ronan, for 
in the river is the Pol Ronan, or Pool of 
Ronan, and a fair held there is called Fel 
Ronan.—(O. S. A. viii. 567; N. S. A, 
724,740,502.) Strowan in Athole, how- 
ever, is dedicated to S. Fillan, whose 
image, if plunged in a well, was said to 
bring rain.—(Proc. Soc. of Antiq. Scot. 
vol. i p. 19.) 


RUFFUS or RUPHUS. August 27. 
—A. similarity of sound may have 
assigned the 27th August, on which the 
Catholic Church honours S. Ruffus of 
Capua, to S. Maelrubha of Applecross. 
He was a patrieian who was converted 
to the faith by the blessed Apollonius, 
a disciple of S. Peter, who raised from

the dead his only daughter.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars estiv. fol xc.; Usuardus, 
ed. Soller. p. 493.) 

For S. Ruffus's fair at Dipple, see Mis- 
cellany of the Spalding Club (vol. iii. p. 
183)  Eilan Marie is called S, Ruffus's 
Island in the Dingwall Presbytery Re- 
cords in 1678, wherein is a curious 
account of the sacrifice of bulls to the 
saint at that time.-—(Mitchell’s “Account 
of various superstitions in the Highlands 
of Scotland,” Proc. Soc. Antig. of Scot. 
iv. 251.) See MAELRUBHA. 


RUMMALDUS or RUMOLDUS, B. 
and M. July 1.—The Scottish Kalen- 
dars claim Saint Rumold, Bishop of 
Mechlin and Dublin, as a Scotsman, 
assigning to him Berwick for birth- 
place, David and Cecilia for father and 
mother, to whom he was born at the 
instance of the prayers of Uballafer, 
* Ecclesi» Dunelensis Episcopus." After a 
devout youth, spent in works of mercy, 
he was made bishop in the higher 
parts of Gallia, where he cured a leper, 
He visited Rome, and on his way 
home through Lombardy performed 
many wonderful cures. He was mar- 
tyred at Machlenia, then a desert place, 
where he is buried.—(Brev. Aberd. pars 
estiv. fol. xvi.b.) 

As to the birthplace of Rumaldus, on 
the one hand, Hugh Ward, the Irish 
Franciscan, narrates that he was Irish, 
in which he is supported by Benedict 
XIV. On the other hand, Janning, the 
Bollandist, maintains that he was an 
English Saxon.—(See Butler’s Lives, ad 
diem ; see also Rumoldi Vita, Passio, 
Miracula, in Jo. van Wachtendonck, 


RUS—SEEMIROOKIE 


Collecta, Mech. 1688-9; Sollerii Acta 
S. Rumoldi, fol. Antwerp, 1718.) 

It is a curious fact that the Irish 
Kalendars take very little notice of that 
great army of missionaries, who, pro- 
ceeding from Ireland, covered the Con- 
tinent with monastic institutions, and 
Often contributed to episcopal sees 
worthy occupants, whose names are 
still remembered by a local worship. 
The extent of this influence can hardly 
be measured, and its existence is the 
most corroborative evidence of the high 
state of civilisation of Ireland and Scot- 
land at the time in which this religious 
emigration prevailed. With every al- 
lowance for the wandering propensities 
of the Scoti of the dark ages, these 
institutions could not have taken root 
and flourished as they did without good 
reason. They must have supplied some 
want in Europe or they could not have 
continued. Yet in the Irish Kalendars 
there is very little note of them. Even 
in that of Donegal, which contains all 
that was known of such hagiology in 
the seventeenth century, we have only 
Fursey, Foillan, Cathal and Virgilius, 
Frigidianus, Fredianus, Rodvicus, Ki- 
lianus, Dimpna, Colman of Austria, Co- 
lumban, and Celeclerech. 

“A knoll about a mile north of the 
church [of Farnell, in the diocese of 
Brechin and county of Forfar] is called 
Rume's Cross."—(Jervise, Land of the 
Lindsays, p. 197.) 


RUS et FECHNO. September 27.— 
The Memorial of British Piety (p. 136) 
assigns this day to these two com- 
panions and disciples of S. Columba. 


443 


Rus appears in Dempster as Ruthius. “In 
Scotia Ruthii Episcopi S. Columbe 
discipuli? “In the recital at the end of 
Cod. B, of the disciples and relatives 
of S. Columba, we have Rus et Fech- 
no, duo filii Rodani Rus is possibly 
Ruisein of Inis Picht (Spike Island). 
Fechno is the same as Fiachna of the 


Kalendars.”—(See Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 
246.) 


RYNNANE.—We have S. Rynnane’s 
chapel within the parsonage of Strive- 
ling or Stirling.—(Regist. de Dunferm.

This is probably S. Ringan or Ninian.

SEEMTROOKIE. August 16, A.D.

the popular designation of a chapel de- 
dicated to S. Roque, just outside the 
East Gate of Dundee, at the place where 
persons who had died of the plague 
were buried. S. Rochus was invocated 
in times of pestilence, and we find more 
than one church dedicated to him in 
Scotland, eg.—

S. A., Edin. 657). See also “Notes on

book this is called “S. Rollach’s 
Chappel.” 

It is not likely that Kilravock is 
named from this saint. 


SEIGHEN, A. August 12, 652.— 
S. Seighen, son of Fiachna, fifth Ab- 
bot of Hy, died in 652. He was the 
advocate of the Columbite observance of 
Easter, and, as such, there was addressed 
to him in 634 a letter by Cummian 
(Ussher's Works, iv. p. 432), and an- 
other by the clergy of Rome in 640 
(Beda, H. E. lib. ii. c. 19). It was 
during his presidency that S. Aidan 
went to Lindisfarne—(Reeves’ Adam- 
nan, p. 373.) 


SENAN, B. and C. March 8, after 
544.—S. Senan of Iniscathaigh (Innis- 
kattry), whose fame was predicted by 
S. Patrick, was born about 488. His 
father's name was Gerrginn, of the royal 
blood of Conary I.; his mother, Com- 
gella. Being forced to take part in a 
predatory expedition, war became so 
distasteful to him that he renounced 
the world, and placed himself first under 
Abbot Cassidus, and then under the 
learned Natalis or Naal of Kilmanagh. 


SEIGHEN—SENCHANIUS. 


Then he visited Rome, Tours, and Mene- 
via. The first place he founded was 
Iniscatra, where he received some reli- 
gious from the Continent, who came in 
a ship to Ireland to lead strict lives. 
Founding establishments at Inisluinghe, 
Inis-more, and Inis-tuaiscert, his great- 
est work was the monastery of Inisca- 
thaigh (or Iniscattry), on the Shannon, 
established before 546. Here women 
were never allowed to enter. Along 
with S. Ita he is the patron saint of the 
Hy-Conaill. He died at Kill-eochaille. 
He is said to be honoured as S. Sané 
in Brittany, in the diocese of S. Pol. 
de Leon.—(Lanigan, Eccl. Hist. of Ire- 
land, vol. i 444; ii. 3, 20, 90.) Colgan 
(Acta SS. Hib. pp. 512-524) gives a 
metrical life of the saint. In Scotland 
he appears as Moshenoc. Ewes in Esk- 
dale is supposed to be dedicated to him 
as well as to S. Cuthbert. His name 
occurs in that kalendar which has been 
printed in this volume as “ Kalendarium 
quoddam Celticum.” We have him at 
Achdashenaig in Mull, and possibly at 
Kilmahunach in Kintyre, at Killenach 
in Mull, and at Kilynarg in Coll.

pars hyem. fol. lxx.) 


SERVANUSI,B.andC. July 1.— 
The evangelisation of the west of Fife and 
the district on either side of the Ochils 
is attributed to S. Servanus, who, as 
Serf or Sair, in the popular language of 
Scotland, as Serb in the ancient writings 
of Ireland, occupies an important place 
in the religious history of Scotland. 
Mr. Skene (Chron. of Scots and Picts, 
pref. p. clix.) places him so late as the 
time of Brude, the brother of Nectan, who 
died in 706, on the authority of Gray's 
Sealacronica; but the legend in the Bre- 
viary, which states distinctly that there 
are two saints of this name, makes him 
the suffragan of S. Palladius, thus re- 
ferring him back to the fifth century. 
The same authority says that the first 
saint was a Scot, the second an Israelite ; 
and thus it may be that there really were 
two saints of the name, one connected 
with the first conversion of the country, 
the other associated with the mission of 
Bonifacius Quiritinus, who also is de- 
clared in the legend to be “ natione 
Israeliticus.” It is not to be wondered 
that between the two there should be a 
confusion, and that the miracles said to 
be performed by the one should be at- 
tributed to the other. 

The oldest Irish documents make S. 
Servanus a Pict by the mother's side. 

The Tract by ZEngus the Culdee on 


445 


the mothers of the saints of Ireland, 
says, Alma, daughter of the king of the 
Cruithne (Picts), was mother of Serb, son 
of Proc, king of Canaan of Egypt, and 
he is the venerable man who possesses 
Cuilennros in Srath Hirenn in the Com- 
gells, between the Sliabh n Ochel and 
the Sea of Giudi—(Reeves, Culdees of 
the British Islands, p. 124.) It will be 
seen that /Engus the Culdee substitutes 
“king of the Cruithne" for “king of 
Arabia" in the Life. 

The substance of the Lection in the 
Breviary of Aberdeen is as follows:— 

Servanus, a Scot, lived under the rite 
and form of the primitive church till 
the arrival of Palladius, who was sent 
by S. Celestine to convert the Scots, and 
who, finding Servanus there, ordained 
him as his suffragan. As S. Servanus 
made his circuit he lodged with his 
people at the house of a poor man, who 
killed his only pig to entertain him, 
which the saint restored to life. He 
turned water into wine, and therewith 
healed a sick monk. Once upon a time, 
in the cave at Dysart, the devil tempted 
him with divers questions; but, being 
defeated, never appeared again to any 
one there. Hence the place is honoured. 
Finding he could prevail nothing against 
the saint, he entered into one of his 
people, who became afflicted with an 
appetite which nothing could satisfy ; 
but S. Servanus put his thumb in his 
mouth, and the devil, terrified and roar- 
ing lustily, came out of him. He raised 
from the dead two children. A man 
stole and ate a sheep, and wished 
to purge himself by oath “super ba- 
culum,” whereon the sheep bleated in 


446 


the man, who was thus converted. A 
great dragon, in a place which is called 
Dunnyne, did great mischief. The saint 
killed him with the ferule of his pas- 
toral staff, and the place is called the 
Valley of the Dragon. He healed three 
blind, three lame, and three deaf men. 

There is also another Servanus, by 
nation an Israelite, who in the time of 
blessed Adamnan shone by great miracles 
in the island of Petmook.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars estiv. fol. xv.) The remains of S. 
Servanus were at Culros in 1530.— 
(Mart. Aberd.) 

In the legend of S. Palladius that saint 
is said to have gone with his followers 
preaching through all Scotland, and to 
have found at Culros Servanus, whom 
he ordained bishop according to the 
Catholic custom of the Roman Church, 
and instructed him in the same faith, 
moved to do so by divine inspiration, 
constituting him his suffragan.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars estiv. fol. xxv.) 

Joceline’s Life of S. Kentigern de- 
scribes S. Servanus as living at Culros, 
and training up many boys in sacred 
learning.—(Vita Kentigerni, ap. Pinker- 
ton, Vite SS. Scot. p. 206.) We have 
already, under the name of that saint, de- 
scribed his relations with S. Thenew and 
her son. There is also a life of Servanus 
described by Ussher (Works, vol. vi. p. 
213) as “stultissimorum mendaciorum 
portentis refecta," given in the * Chro- 
nicles of the Picts and Scots” (p. 412), 
from a manuscript in Archbishop Marsh's 
library in Dublin. It is indeed wild 
beyond imagination. The saint is de- 
scribed as miraculously born of Obeth, 
king of Canaan, and Alpia, daughter of 


SERVANUS. 


the king of Arabia. On the death of 
his father he abdicates in favour of 
his twin-brother Generatius. He takes 
orders, and becomes bishop of the Cana- 
neans. After twenty years he goes forth 
by the admonition of an angel. Crossing 
the Nile and the Red Sea dryshod, he 
comes to Jerusalem, where he reigns 
seven years as Patriarch. There he cuts 
four staves from the hill whereon the 
cross of Christ was cut, and goes to 
Constantinople, where he is honourably 
entertained three years. Then he comes 
to Rome, where he reigns as Pope for 
seven more. After taking leave of 
Rome he went with a company of pil- 
grims into distant parts. There is a 
startling scene of a manifestation of the 
power of evil in the valley called Nigra. 
He crossed the Mare Icteum between 
France and England dryshod, and 
came to the river Forth. S. Edheu- 
nanus or Adamnanus, an abbot in Scot- 
land at that time, met him at Inch- 
keith, received him, and assigned to him 
as the field of his labours Fife and the 
country from the Mons Britannicus to 
the Mons Okhel Then he came to 
Kinel, where his staff grew into a fruit- 
bearing tree, called in modern language 
Morglas. After that he came to Culenros, 
and Brude, king of the Picts, after op- 
posing him and being stricken accord- 
ingly, gave him the place, where he 
dedicated a cemetery and a church. 
Thence he retired to an island in Loch- 
leven to converse face to face with 
Edheunanus, who gave him the island. 
Then he constructed churches through 
the whole region of Fife. At Dysart 
he was tried in vain with difficult ques- 


SERVANUS—SILVENEUS. 


tions by the evil one; and the place 
is therefore holy unto this day. The 
miracle of the inordinate appetite is 
assigned to Tuligbotuan or Tullybody. 
At Tuligcultrin (je. Tillycoultry) he 
raised two children from death. At 
Alveth or Alva he restored the pig. It 
was at Atheren or Airthey that the 
Sheep bleated. As the legend in the 
Breviary states, it was at Dunning that 
the dragon was destroyed. The saint 
died at Dunning, and his body was car- 
ried to Culenros.—(Chron. of Picts and 
Scots, 412-420.) This Life forms the 
basis of the metrical account by Wyn- 
toun, who in 1413 was prior of S. Serf's 
Island in Lochleven, and then produced, 
in vindication of the rights of his house, 
the Liber Cartarum Prioratus Cathedra- 
lis S. Andree et Insule supradicte.—(See 
Regist. Prioratus S. Andree, p. ix.) 

The mission of S. Servanus to the 
Orkneys rests on the authority of such 
moderns as Boece: ^ Palladius maid 
Sanct Serf bischop, and send him in 
Orknay to instruck the rude pepill 
thereof in the faith.”—(Bellenden’s 
Boece, b. vii. c. 18, ed. 1821, vol i. 
p. 286.) 

At Culross "the festival of S. Serf 
was kept yearly on the lst of July, 
when the inhabitants marched in pro- 
cession, carrying green boughs. The 
custom has not altogether disappeared 
(1839), although the day has been al- 
tered to the 4th of June, the birthday of 
his late Majesty George IIL"—(N.8.A., 
Perth, p. 600.) 

He appears as S. Sair in Aberdeenshire. 

Monivaird (N. S. A., Perthshire, 723) 
is one of his churches. 


447 


He is patron of Creich and Dysart.— 
(Commissary Records of Diocese of Glas- 
gow.) He is found at Dunning; “ Ca- 
pellaniis terris de Donyng spectantibus 
ad capellaniam Sanct Serrani.”—(Retours, 
Perth, 954.) 

A mortgage on the lands of Hilton, 
in the barony of Dunnottar, is made 
redeemable “afore S. Serwe altar in the 
paroche kyrk of Monkege” in Aberdeen- 
shire.—(V. D. A. p. 569, note.) Monkege 
is now called Keith-hall, and the present 
parish kirk is situated upon a portion 
of “Sant Sare’s bank,” where it is said 
S. Sare’s fair was held before its removal 
to Culsamond. This great fair stands 
to the N.W. of the church [of Culsa- 
mond], and is holden on the last Tues- 
day in June. 


SERVANUS IL—The Breviary of 
Aberdeen calls him by birth an Israelite, 
and that he shone, by great miracles, in 
the island of Pitmook.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars estiv. fol. xv.)

SINNAVIE.—In the glen of the 
Dighty, just opposite the old church of 
Mains, and beneath the old castle, is 
the Sinnavie Well. This is supposed to 
be a corruption of S. Ninian's Well; 
a conjecture hazarded partly because of 
the sound, partly because the parish was 
dedicated to S. Ninian, and the next to 
S. Martin; dedications which are fre- 
quently found in juxtaposition in Scot- 
land. Thus we have S. Ninian’s of 
Mains united to Strathmartin, in Angus. 
Ulbster was dedicated to S. Martin, and 
was near the kirk of S. Ninian at the 
Head of Wick (N. S. A., Caithness, 160). 

There is also a connection between 
him and §. Michael Thus Kirk- 
michael in Ross-shire is united to Culli- 
cudden, the ancient name of which was 
Kirkmartin (N. S. A. xiv, Ross, 42); 
and in Perthshire S. Martin's parish is 
joined to Cambus-Michael (N. S. A. x, 
Perth, 873). 

The parish of Yell (in Shetland) 
boasted twenty chapels. They were 
variously dedicated to our Lady, to S. 
Olla, S. Magnus, S. Laurence, S. John, 
S. Paul, or to S. Sineva. — (Hibbert's 
Shetland, p. 530.) 


~ SKAY, SCAWACHIE, or SKEOCH. 
—S. Skeoch is the alternative name of 
the parish of Dunninald, in the county 
of Forfar. The name of the parish is 
found as S. Sca wachie in the * Charge of 
the Temporality of Kirklands north of 
the Forth," p. 371 (MS. Gen. Reg. House). 
A very picturesque spot on the coast is 


SINNAVIE—SUIBHNE. 


usually called the Chapel of S. Skay. Dr. 
Reeves conjectures that the name may 
be a corruption of Eochaidh. Of this 
name there are three saints in the Irish 
Kalendar; one was abbot of Lis-mor 
A.D. 634.—(Mart. Donegal) There was 
an Echoid who was one of the twelve 
disciples and relations of S. Columba.— 
(Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 246.) 

There is a Skeoch in Rothesay, and 
it is curious that in this place is S. 
Brock fair; while, close to the Forfar- 
shire S. Skay, is Inchbrayoch, In 
Mauchline is Skeoch Hill—(N. 8. A, 
Ayr, 159.) In the parish of S. Ninians 
is a chapel at Skeoch, a mile below 
Bannockburn, dedicated to the Virgin. 
—w(N. S. A, Stirling, 323.) 


STOLBRANDUS, M. S&S. Stolbran- 
dus is one of the martyrs of the May.— 
(Brev. Aberd. pars hyem. fol. lxii. b.) 


SUIBHNE I, A. January 11, AD. 
657.—Suibhneus, or Suinneus, as the 
word Suibhne is Latinised, was the son 
of Cuirtri. He is the first abbot of Hy 
whose genealogy. is not given in the 
histories. He entered the abbey of 
Hy under the Abbot Segenius, and, on 
the occasion of his death, in 652, was 
elected his successor He ruled the 
abbey three or four years, and died in 
654 or 656, on the 3d of the Ides of 
January.—(Colgan, Acta SS. Hib. p. 
408. See Reeves’ Adamnan, p. 375.) 


SUIBHNE IL, A. June 22, av. 772. 
—Suibhne, Abbot of I:-Coluim-Cille.— 
(Mart. Donegal) The Annals of Ulster 
give “765 (764), Suibne Abbas Ie in 


SUMACH—TANGLAN. 


Hiberniam venit. 772 (771), Mors 
Suibne, Abbatis Ie.” He was coadjutor 
abbot in 776, and succeeded, as sixteenth 
abbot, to the full power on the death of 
Slebhine. 


SUMACH, C.— He is invocated as 
“Sanctus Confessor et Monachus” in the 
Dunkeld Litany. 


SURANACH.—Invoked in the Dun- 
keld Litany as “Sanctus Confessor et 
Monachus.”

SYTH.—In the Retour of James, Earl 
of Linlithgow, November 1696 (Betours, 
Linlithgow, 283), we have mention of 
the patronage of S. Syth’s. 


TALARICANUS, B. and C. October 
30.—This name, under different forms, 
occurs very frequently in early Scottish 
history : eg., we have Tallorcen, king of 
the Picts, son of Enfret, son of Aethelfrit, 
king of Northumbria; Talore, son of 
Achivir, king of the Picts; Talore, son 
of Aniel ; Talore, son of Wid ; Talorgen, 
son of Onist ; Talorgen, son of Wthiol, 
joint-king with Drest, son of Constantine. 
As there is no counterpart of the name 
in the Irish Kalendars, we have here the 
instance of a purely Pictish saint, yet 
the Breviary of Aberdeen calls him an 
Irishman. Talarieanus, an Irishman 
raised to the episcopal dignity by Pope 
Gregory, is noted as having celebrated 
the Eucharist daily. His life was con- 
formable to this devotion, and he sub- 
mitted himself to stern self-discipline. 
He laboured in the north of Scotland, 
and various churches in his honour, in 


449 


the dioceses of Aberdeen, Moray, and 
Ross, witness to his exertions. His 
death was peaceful and holy.—(Brev. 
Aberd. pars estiv. fol. cxxxiv.b.) He is 
patron of Fridressor. He is associated 
with the church of Fordis (Fordyce), of 
which Cullen and Deskford formed 
originally portions (Mart. Aberd. ; O.S.A. 
iii, p. 63; Antiq. of Aberdeen and 
Banff, ii. 94; V. D. A. 644) ; while the 
great district of Kiltarlity, in Inverness- 
shire, in which is Beauly Abbey, takes 
its name from him; for in the Chartulary 
of Moray, John Bisset, in 1226, is re- 
corded as giving to God and the church 
of S. Peter of Rothfan, for sustaining 
seven leprous persons, the patronage of 
the kirk of Kyltalorgy. In 1227, 
Andrew, vicar of Arterbert, was present 
at Kenedar, in Moray, with others of 
the clergy of Ross, on the occasion of 
the settlement of a dispute between the 
bishops of Ross and Moray about the 
diocesan rights of the churches of Kyn- 
talargyn and Ardrosser.—(Regist. Epis- 
cop. Morav. pp. 81, 82; O. S. A. xiii. 
507; N. S. A, Inverness, 483.) &. 
Tarkin's Well is in the burn of For- 
dyce, in the immediate vicinity of the 
church. There is a well in the parish 
of Kilsyth, whose corrupt name seems 
to point to S. Talarican as its patron. 
—(Orig. Par. i. 43.) “There were a 
church and cemetery at Ceilltarraglan, 
situated at one end of a plain lying 
above the rocks on the north side of 
Loch Portree” in Skye.—(Orig. Par. ii. 
p. 355.) In the island of Taransay is 
Eagluis Tarain.— (Orig. Par. ii. p. 377.)

‘TEARS or TYR.—There is a chapel 
of S. Tears not far from Ackergill in 
Caithness-shire. It is said to be dedi- 
cated to the Holy Innocents. “ Within 
the memory of persons yet living it was 
customary for people to visit the chapel 
of S. Tears on Innocents’ day, and leave 
in it bread and cheese as an offering to 
the souls of the children slain by Herod.” 
—(Orig. Par. ii. p. 772 ; N. S. A., Suther- 
land, 201 ; Caithness, 133, 160.) 


TEAVNECK.—The church of Criech 
is dedicated to a saint corruptly called 
S. Teavneck.—(Orig. Par. ii. p. 684.) 
He is the same as DEVINIO, q. v. 


TELLER. See HrARY. 


TENNENT.—A decreet-arbitral onthe 
marches between certain lands in Angus 
belonging to the Earl of Crawford, and 
other lands belonging to David Fentoun 
of Ogill, mentions, “ the water of Norane 
as S. Tennentis well rynnis tharein."— 
(Reg. of Acts and Decreets, vii. 153, MS. 
Gen. Register House.) See ADAMNAN. 

In the parish of Beith in Ayrshire, a 
horse fair is held on the 30th of August 
on S. Tennant's Day.—(O. S. A. viii. p. 
321) 


TERNAN, B. and C. June 12, A.D. 
431.—What has come down to us of the 
memory of S. Ternanus or Terrenanus, 
confirms the inference which the scanty 
remains of the Pictish language sug- 
gest regarding the connection be- 
tween that race and the rest of the 
Celtic family. There seems no reason 


TARKEN—TERNAN. 


to doubt the tradition that this saint 
was the High Bishop of the Picts, yet 
distinct tracesof him arefound in Ireland. 
He is the Torannan or Mo-Thoren of the 
Kalendars, and is associated with Tulach 
Foirtceirn in Leinster and with Druim- 
cliabh (now Drumcliffe) in the county of 
Sligo.—(See note by Dr. Reeves, Mart. 
Donegal, p. 166 ; and Preface to the Ar- 
buthnott Missal, pp. Ixxxii-Ixxxiv.) The 
Breviary of Aberdeen devotes six lections 
to his history ; and while it confuses the 
chronology by making him live in the 
time of 8. Gregory, its information may 
be regarded as authentic, so far as it 
relates to his parentage, and his baptism 
by S. Palladius. The legend is to this 
effect:—S. Ternan was born of noble 
parents in the province of Myrnia, and 
S. Palladius, divinely warned, baptized 
him. Hearing of the fame of S. Gregory 
the Great he betook himself to Rome to 
submit himself to his discipline. After 
seven years the Pope raised him to the 
episcopate, and sent him back to his own 
country to preach the gospel to the un- 
believers there. A bell given him by the 
Pope miraculously followed him till he 
reached Albania. Convecturius, who 
was prince of that country, at first 
opposed the saint, but, warned by mir- 
acle, he was baptized. In spring S. 
Macharius sent to him for seed : having 
none he returned the sack filled with 
sand, which he accordingly sowed and 
reaped an excellent harvest. — (Brev. 
Aberd. pars hyem. fol. ev.) His book of 
the gospels was "quatuor voluminibus 
metallo inclusis, argento auro texto in 
superficie fabricatis.” Of this the volume 
containing S. Matthew was preserved at 


TERNAN—THENEW. 


Banquhory. His head also was preserved 
there, and the skin of the part where he 
had been tonsured and anointed existed 
1100 years after, and had been seen by 
the compiler of the Aberdeen Martyr- 
ology about 1530. He was the contem- 
porary of S. Macharius, and a most de- 
vout lover of solitude.—(Mart. Aberd.) 

The miraculous bell, called the Ron- 
necht, alluded to in the legend, was pre- 
served at Banchory-Ternan till the Re- 
formation. There exists a “ concessio 
campane S* Ternani vicario ejusdem 
(A.D. 1485), specialiter pro ornatione 
capitis dicti S" Ternani patroni nostri 
ejusdem  ecclesim." — (Regist. Nig. de 
Aberbrothock, p. 239.) A monstrance 
containing his relics was in the treasury 
of the church of Aberdeen.—(Regist. 
Episcop. Aberd. ii. 185.) Thomas In- 
nes places his seat of episcopal govern- 
ment at. Abernethy in Strathearn.— 
(Civil and Eccl. Hist. p. 157.) 


The Felire gives— 
Torandan buan bannach 
Dar ler lethan longach. 
The gloss— 
Condechaid in Albain 
Hic sepultus est in leconio. 
Thus rendered— 
Torandan, the long-famed voyager 
Over the broad ship-full sea. 
He went into Alban 
He is buried at Leconium. 
And the gloss of the Bodleian MS. 
(Laud. 610) is different — 
Torannan buan bannach 
bannach bann leis sair 
agus bann reis anair, 
[Torannan the long-famed voyager, 


A dash by him to the east, 
And a dash by him from the east.] 


451 


Another Scholiast identifies him with 
S. Palladius, 4e. Palladius who was sent 
from the Coarb of Peter to Erin before 
Patrick. He was not received in Erin, 
whereupon he went to Alban. He was 
buried in Leconium. 

A chapel and well bear his name at 
Findon in Banchory-Devenick.—(Jervise, 
Memorials of Angus and Mearns, p. 364.) 
The parish of Slains (V. D. A. p. 387), 
of Arbuthnott (N. S. A., Kincardine, p. 
160), of Upper Banchory (do., p. 323), 
and perhaps a church or chapel in 
Brechin, bore his name.—(Jervise, Land 
of the Lindsays, p. 269.) 


TEUTHEREN. See ETHERNAN. 


THENEW. July 18, ap. 514.— 
The life of S. Thenew in the Aberdeen 
Breviary is an abridgment of the frag- 
ment of the life of S. Kentigern, written 
at the desire of Herbert, Bishop of Glas- 
gow, which is now preserved in the 
British Museum.—(Cotton MSS. A, xix. 
f. 76.) The correspondence of the legend 
with the source from which it is taken in- 
dicates the value of those other legends, 
the originals of which are now lost.— 
(Cosmo Innes, Pref. to Reg. Ep. Glasg. 
p. lx.) It is there recorded how S. 
Thenew, daughter of the king of Lau- 
donia, brought up in the faith of the 
Church but unbaptized, vowed herself to 
chastity ; that being sought in marriage 
by Ewen, son of the king of Cumbria 
[^4 Urien Rheged], * juvenis quidam 
elegantissimus,” on her continued re- 
fusal her father sent her to a swineherd, 
that she might be disgraced. The swine- 
herd, a secret Christian, preserved her 


452 


honour; but, at the instigation of a 
woman, she was forced by a beardless 
boy in woman’s clothes. On the results 
of this becoming manifest, her father 
ordered her to be stoned and cast in a 
chariot from the top of a hill. Miracu- 
lously saved, she was now put into a 
boat made of twigs and pitch, and 
covered with leather, at Aberledy, and 
carried out to the Isle of May, whence, 
attended by a company of fishes, she 
was wafted to Culross, where she brought 
forth S. Kentigern, and where both she 
and her child were regenerated in the 
sacred font by S. Servanus. She came 
to live at Glasghu, where she was hon- 
ourably buried.—(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. 
fol. xxxiv. b.) 

Fordun calls her Thanes. — (Sooti- 
chron. L iii. e. 24, ed. Goodall, i. 128.) 
Camerarius calls her Themetis or 
Thennat; Ussher, Thenis or Thenna, or 
Themi ; the Metrical Chronicle of Scot- 
land (ii. 221), Cemeda. The popular 
name of her church in Glasgow, at the 
time of the Reformation, was San 
Theneukes Kirk; afterwards, by a further 
corruption, St. Enoch's.—(Orig. Par. i. 
b, 16 ; Ussher, Works, vi 222-4) In 
the Welsh language she appears as 
Dwynwen, or Denyw, daughter of 
Llewddyn Lueddog of Dinas Eiddyn. 
-—(Rees' Essay on the Welsh Saints, p. 
261; Mabinogion, Part i. p. 17.) 


THEORETUS or CEROTUS.—By 
a charter dated lst May 1511, King 
James IV. grants to James Henrisoun the 
barony of Fordell “ cum advocacione et

Fife, 629. Elsewhere in the Retours 
(Fife, 363) the name appears as Theo- 
retus—* Fordell cum advocatione capel- 
le Sancti Theoreti et decimá parte ter- 
rarum et baroniz de Fordell.”

THOMAS. 1273.—Fordun records 
the death in 1273 of Thomas, a man 
of great sanctity, Abbot of Lindores, to 
whom succeeded John, prior of the same. 
—(Scotichron., ed. Goodall, t. ii p. 
120.) 


TIGHERNACH. April 5, A.D. 506. 
—A bishop and confessor of this name 
in Scotland under King Alphin, A.D. 893, 
is recorded by King. Camerarius says 
that he was a bishop, and that he died 
in extreme old age in Eskdale in 870. 
The Irish Kalendars at this date give 
Tighernach of Cluain-eois, in Fera-Man- 
ach. He was of the race of Cathaoir 
Mór. Dearfraioch, daughter of Eochaidh, 
son of Criomhthann, king of Oirghiall, 
was his mother.—(Mart. Donegal) He 
was baptized by Conleth, seized by pir- 
ates, and carried into Britain. After his 
return to Ireland he was chosen bishop 


of Clogher. He is said by some to have 
died in A.D. 506. ZEngus the Culdee 
gives 


Cain Tigernac credal. 
[Sing the devout Tighernach. ] 


The parish of Killtearn takes its 
name from him. 


TOCHANNU—TRIDUANA. 


TOCHANNU. September 30.— 
Tochannu Mocufir-cetea, or Dochonna, 
was one of the companions of S. Co- 
lumba. Dr. Reeves identifies him with 
Mauricius or Macharius of the Scots 
Kalendar, at November 12. —(Reeves' 
Adamnan, p. 246.) See MAURICIUS. 


TRIDUANA, V. October 8. — Be- 
fore the Reformation there were several 
localities in the neighbourhood of Edin- 
burgh which were celebrated as places 
of pilgrimage. Near to Musselburgh 
was the chapel of Our Lady of Loretto, 
where one of the impostures which did 
so much to hasten the Reformation was 
detected and exposed to the mockery 
of the rabble.—(See Mr. David Laing's 
edition of Knox's History of the Reform- 
ation, vol i. p. 75, note) The ancient 
church of S. Mary of Hamer—the White 
Kirk of Our Lady of Lothian—was re- 
nowned for its miracles as early at least 
as the middle of the fourteenth century, 
and is remarkable as being the spot 
whither, in thanksgiving for his safety 
after a storm, the clever and dexterous 
ZEneas Sylvius Piccolomini, afterwards 
Pius IL, repaired at midwinter (Ro- 
bertson's Statuta Eccles. Scotican., 
vol i pref xciii); but the most im- 
portant of all was the chapel of S. 
Triduana of Restalrig, where her bones 
rested. 

The saint honoured at this place is 
recorded, not only in the Scottish, but 
also in the Seandinavian histories. The 
Orkneyinga Saga (p. 415) calls her 
Trollhena, and Scottish tradition pre- 
serves her memory as Treddles, Tred- 
wall, Trallew, Trallen, Tradlins, and 


453 


in composition Tradwell Triduana 
appears in the legend of Bonifacius 
as one of two virgins, abbesses, who 
accompanied that saint to Scotland, the 
other being Crescentia—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. fol. lxxj) In the legend of 
S. Andrew she is one of three vir- 
gins of Colossia who accompaned Re- 
gulus with the relics of S. Andrew, the 
other two being Potentia and Cineria. 
Her legend in the Breviary of Aber- 
deen (pars estiv. fol cxxiib), is as fol- 
lows :— 

The glorious virgin Triduana of 
Colosia came with S. Regulus to Scot- 
land. She led a heremitic life with 
his virgins, Potentia and Emeria, in a 
desert place at Roscoby (Rescoby in 
Forfarshire), The tyrant Nectanevus, 
prince of the neighbourhood, pursued her 
with his impure love, whereupon she 
fled to Dunfallad (Dunfallandy) in Athol. 
There his ministers coming to her, she 
said, ^ What desireth so great a prince 
of me, a poor virgin dedicated to God?” 
to which they said, * He desireth the 
most excellent beauty of thine eyes, 
which if he obtain not he will die." 
Then the virgin, in a kindly voice, “ What 
he seeketh of me that he shall have,” 
and taking out her eyes in a more secret 
place, and transfixing them with a stake, 
she gave it, saying, “Take that which 
your prince loveth.” The king, on being 
informed of this, admired her constancy. 
Meanwhile Triduana, devoting herself to 
prayers and fasting in Lestalryk in 
Laudonia (Lothian) passed into the 
heavens. An English woman who had 
lost her eyesight saw S. Triduana in a 
dream, who told her to go to Lestalryk, 


454 


and there she would recover her sight, 
which accordingly took place; and a 
daughter of the same woman, who lost 
her eyesight and was nearly crushed by 
a fall, was cured at the intercession of 
the saint. 

That this legend has some substance 
is clear from the records of the saint at 
the different localities mentioned in it. 
At Rescobie is still S. Triduan’s fair. 
Then she is found at Tradlines.—(N. 
S. A, Forfar, 610. At Dunfallandy 
there is one of the fine sculptured stones 
indicating a very ancient occupation, but 
there is nothing to connect it with this 
saint. She was buried * apud Capellam 
Regiam de Lestalrig."—(Mart. Aberd.) 
The first act of official iconoclasm at 
the Reformation was the destruction of 
this church. On the 21st December 
1560 it was ordained “that the kirk of 
Restalrig, as a monument of idolatry, be 
raysit and utterlie cast down and de- 
stroyed.”—(Book of the Universal Kirk 
of Scotland, i. 5.) 

A monstrance with her relics was 
preserved in the Cathedral of Aberdeen. 
—(Regist. Episcop. Aberd. ii. 185.) 

The account in the Martyrology, where 
it speaks of the Capella Regia of Les- 
talrig, is strictly correct, for that chapel 
stood detached in the cemetery, the 
church itself having been dedicated to 
the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sir David 
Lindsay speaks of people going to S. 
Tredwell * to mend their ene,” and 


Saint Tredwall, als, there may be sene, 
Quhilk on ane prick hes baith her ene. 


She is honoured at Kintradwell in 
the ancient parish of Loth, in Caithness, 


TRIDUANA—TRUMVINI. 


where she is locally styled Trullen, the 
Trollhena of the Norse writers. (Orig. 
Par. ii. 732), and in the island of Papa 
Westray. (Stuart's Sculptured Stones, 
ii. 40 ; N.S. A., Orkney, p. 117.) 
Bishop John, of Caithness, whose eyes 
were put out by one Lomberd at the 
instigation of Earl Harold in 1201, was 
believed to have had his sight restored 
at her intercession.—(Orig. Par. ii. 599. 
See Pennant’s Tour, vol. iii. p. 358.) 


TRUMHER, E. B. ap. 670.—A 
Scottish monk, who, after the resignation 
of Ceollach, became bishop of the Mid 
Angles and Mercians.—(Beda, H. E. lib. 
iii. e. 21, 24, 30.) 


TRUMVINI, B. 4.p. 686.—A monk 
of Whitby and bishop of the Picts.— 
(Trithemius, Regula S. Bened., p. 527.) 
Beda mentions that in A.D. 681 Trum- 
vini was ordained bishop for the pro- 
vince of the Picts, which at that time 
was subject to the Àngles.—(H. E. 1. iv. 
c. 12) After the battle of Nechtanes- 
mere, in which Ecgfrid, king of North- 
umbria, who had invaded their province, 
was defeated and slain, the Picts recovered 
their territory, and Trumvini retired from 
the monastery of Atbbercurnig or Aber- 
corn, which, though in the region of the 
Angles, is near the firth which divides 
the territories of the Picts and Angles, 
to Streaneschalch or Whitby, with a 
few of his companions, where he died, 
and was buried in S. Peter's Church.— 
(H. E.l iv.c. 26.) He was one of the 
religious who accompanied King Ecgfrid 
io Lindisfarne to persuade S. Cuthbert 
to accept the episcopate.—(Ibid. liv. c. 28.) 


TUDA—ULTANUS. 


TUDA,B. A.D.664.—On the return 
of Colman to his own land, Tuda be- 
came bishop of Northumbria, trained 
and consecrated among the “ Austrini 
Scotti,” having the tonsure of that pro- 
vince, and keeping the Catholic Easter. 
—(Beeda, H. E. lib. iii. c. 26.) He died 
of the pestilence in 664, and was honour- 
ably buried in Prgnalech, probably 
Finchale, near Durham (c. 27). In the 
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, however, his 
burial-place is called Wagele, by which 
Whalley, in Lancashire, is probably 
meant.—(See Haddan and Stubbs, Coun- 
cils, vol. iii. p. 444.) The pestilence lasted 
twelve years. It is frequently men- 
tioned by Baeda.—(iii. 27, iv. 7, 8, 14.) In 
the Annals of the Four Masters, at A.D. 
664, it is called Flava Icteritia or Buidhe 
Connail, some form of jaundice or biliary 
fever. It extended to Ireland, and a 
great many saints died of it.—(Annals of 
the Four Masters, ad annum, vol i. p. 
275 ; Colgan, Trias Thaum. p. 603, n.) 


TULCAN.—He was the father of S. 
Mundus, or Fintan-Munnu. Wishing 
to please the Lord, he came to S. Co- 
lumba at Hy, where his faith was tested, 
as Abraham's was, by the proposed sacri- 
fice of his son. "The cruel test produced 
an estrangement between S. Columba 
and S. Cainnech.—(See the Life of S.

TUNNIE.—In the Retours (Elgin, 
137) we find the lands of S. Tunnie. He 
is probably Euny or Adamnan, g. v. 


TURGOT, B. March 31, aD. 1115. 
—This great bishop of S. Andrews is 


455 


placed by Dempster in the Catalogue of 
the Saints. He was a Benedictine monk 
at Durham, and prior of that house in 
1093. On the Kalends of August 
1109 he was consecrated bishop of 
S. Andrews by Thomas, archbishop of 
York, and returning to Durham he died 
in 1115, and was buried where he had 
been so long prior.—(Chron. de Mailros, 
pp. 64, 65.) 

Though York claimed ecclesiastical 
supremacy over Scotland, King Alex- 
ander resisted it, and the difficulty was 
set aside on this occasion by a reserva- 
tion of the right of both churches for 
future discussion. The king and Turgot 
afterwards had dissensions. The latter 
petitioned for leave to go to Rome, but 
the king would only allow him to go 
to Durham.—(Sim. Dunelm. de Gestis, 
1074. See also J. Hodgson Hinde's 
edition of Simeon’s Collectanea (pp. 95- 
107, and Preface, pp. xxvii. and lxi), 
where much light is thrown on many 
questions relating to Turgot. 


TURIAVUS, B. July 13, av. 749. 
—The Martyrology of Aberdeen at this 
day gives S. Turiavus as belonging to 
Britannia Minor. One cannot see why 
this saint, born in the diocese of Vannes, 
and trained at Dol, where he eventually 
became bishop, should occur in the Mar- 
tyrology of Aberdeen. There seems no 
connection with Scotland. Dempster 
gives him on the authority of the Mar- 
tyrologium Carthusianum. — (See Acta 
SS. Jul. t. ii. p. 614; Lobineau, La Vie 
des SS. de Brétagne, p. 177.) 


ULTANUS, A. May 1, Ar. 680. 


456 


—S. Ultan is probably Ultan, son of 
Maolsneachta, who, in the more recent 
hand of the Martyrology of Donegal, is 
described as probably the brother of 
Faolan and Fursa. Beda says that after 
a long course of the monastic life he 
betook himself to that of the hermit. 
S. Fursey sought him out and spent a 
whole year in labour and prayer with 
him.—(Beda, H. E. liii c. 19.) After 
a time he became abbot of Peronne, 
where his brother was buried. He is 
not to be confounded with Ultan, a 
monk of Lindisfarne, who is honoured 
on the sixth of the Ides of August. 

In the island of Sanda was found an 
arm of S. Ultan, which, enclosed in a 
silver shrine, was religiously kept by a 
gentleman of the illustrious family of the 
Macdonells.—(Orig. Par. ii. 820, quoting 
an account of the island of Sanda in 
1600 by Friar Edmund M*Cana, com- 
municated by Dr. Reeves.) 


VALLEY.—A place of the name of 
S. Valley is found in the parish of Dal- 
rymple in Ayrshire. Near it is a cairn 
of stones.—(N. S. A., Ayrshire, p. 280.) 


VELLENE. December 11.—Among 
the fairs in Strathnaver there was Saint 
Vellene’s Fair on the 11th of December. 
—(Regist. Magni Sigilli, lib. lii. no. 99.) 


VEROA, V. September 29.—At Tyn- 
inghame, in the Marches of Scotland, 
was venerated the memory of the holy 
abbess Verca, highly esteemed by S. 
Cuthbert, who was buried in a piece of 
linen, woven by her, and presented to 
him.— (See Bada, Vita Cuthberti, c. 35 
and 37; Memorial of British Piety, p. 
137.) 


VALLEY—VIGEAN. 


VEY. See BAYA. 


VIGANUS, A. March 13, A.D. 1012. 
—He is invoked as Viganach in the 
Dunkeld Litany. Camerarius, on the 
authority of Boethius and Lesleus, and 
the Liber Plusquartensis, declares him 
to have been an anchoret in the province 
of Leven, who, after proving his vocation 
in a Cluniac monastery, withdrew him- 
self to the * insula Lovinii sive Lou- 
mondi lacus," that in solitude he might 
taste and see how gracious the Lord was. 
He was the friend of Malcolm II.; and 
the legend goes that on the day of the 
Ascension, Malcolm, having dissuaded 
from battle his enemy Grim (otherwise 
known as Girgh MacKinat Macduff, 
or Kenneth III.), who wished to force 
a combat upon him, defeated him, 
shouting out, “Scatter the nations that 
delight in war, Thou that sittest above 
the heavens.” This is the legendary 
account of the battle which took place 
at Moeghanard or Monzievaird in 
Stratherne, A.D. 1005.— (Innes, Crit. 
Essay, Appendix V.; Robertson’s Scot- 
land under her Early Kings, vol. i. p. 
92.) 


VIGEAN, A. January 20, A.D. 664. 
—S..Vigean, who gives his name to a 
parish near Arbroath, is the well-known 
S. Fechin, abbot of Fobhar (or Fore in 
Westmeath), of the race of Eochaidh 
Finnfuathairt, cousin to S. Brigid, who is 
styled the Anthony of Ireland, and is 
recorded by S. Cuimin of Condeire as 
being accustomed _ 

To place his meagre rib 
Upon a hard cell without clothes.— 
Mart. Don. 


VIGEAN. 


The name Fechin is latinised Vigeanus, 
just as Fergal in the Irish hagiology was 
latinised Virgilius. The Mart. of ZEngus 
calls him Moeca, and his name is trans- 
lated Corvulus. His acts are given at 
large by Colgan.—(Acta SS. Hib. pp. 
130-144.) They consist of two lives : 
one by Augustin Gradinus or Ma- 
graidin, canon-regular of Inis (the island 
of All-Saints), who flourished about 1405; 
the other is a sort of supplement, made 
up by Colgan from the various chronicles 
of Ireland where the saint is made 
mention of He was of noble race, as 
indicated in the accompanying pedigree.

Fechi 


S. Columba predicted his birth thirty 
years before the event. S. Cruemus be- 
held him in vision as a beautiful bird, and 
a hostile regulus beheld the city illumi- 
nated at the moment of his coming into 
the world. He was early given to be 
trained by S. Nathi, when he produced 
a fountain in a dry place. Under 
another master he restored to life the 
horses of a regulus which had been 
struck dead for invading his pastures. 
He tamed and bound to a stone a wolf 


457 


that had devoured a calf belonging to 
his mother, and the stone remains per- 
forated to this day ; he restored health 
to the finger of a woman which had been 
hurt by her ring. He was in due time 
promoted to the priesthood, and founded 
a monastery of 300 monks “secundum 
regulam a sanctis patribus institutam.” 
This was probably Fore. An island 
full of heathens (Omey) was indicated 
to him by an angel. It was ulti- 
mately bestowed on him by King Guare, 
and the people converted. A curious 
miracle follows, of the phlegm of a queen 
who had licked a leper being turned 
into gold ; with part S. Fechin bought 
land for the church, and some of it he 
placed in his bachul. A carpenter, who im- 
patiently wished for death, was drowned 
in water brought through a rock by 
Fechin’s bachul, but at S. Coeman’s in- 
tercession was restored. After the occu- 
pation by the English, an English friar, 
who hated the Irish and despised S. 
Fechin, as he knelt before the altar 
was struck by a grave personage, whom 
he declared to be the saint, and after 
three days died. At the prayer of the 
saint a stone which obstructed the ceme- 
tery of his church was absorbed, and the 
place rendered fit for sepulture. 

The supplementary life gives us more 
details regarding him. He was born 
at Luighne (Leyney) in Connaught. S. 
Nathi is associated with Achadh- 
conaire (Achonry). S. Fechin’s first 
work is placed at Easdara, now Bally- 
sadare ; the second was at his birth- 
place Fore, which was called Bile-Fechin 
and Kill-na-managh. He raised also 
churches at Druim-ratha, Killgharbhan, 


9N 


458 


and Edarguidhe, which in Colgan’s time 
was called Eccles-roog, near Tirawly in 
Mayo. 

Besides an establishment at Cong, 
situated on Loch Corrib, on the confines 
of Galway and Mayo, and his monastery 
on Imaidh or Omey, off the coast of 
Connemara, we find him honoured 
upon Inis-iarthair or Ard-oilen, an 
almost inaccessible island. While at 
Fore he took part in the politics of the 
kingdon, mediating between Donall, son 
of Aedh, king of Ireland, and the sons of 
Aedh Slaine, reguli of Meath. Heenjoyed 
the friendship of one of these, named 
Diarmait, who obtained the chief power 
in Ireland in 658. He was the close 
friend of S. Mundus, and he is associated 
with S. Ultan, and Ronan, son of Berach. 
These three prayed for blessings on Ire- 
land: Fechin that she should never suffer 
from famine ; Ultan, that she should not 
be desolated by plague ; and Ronan, that 
she should not be subject to foreign 
invasion. 

In none of the Irish lives is there any 
record of his visiting the east coast of 
Scotland. A curious instance of jea- 
lousy of the Welsh is found in his life. 
S. Mochaemoc, a Cambrian or Pict, comes 
to visit him before he dies ; and on his 
asking him whom he would wish to suc- 
ceed him in the abbacy, refuses a Welsh- 
man—“ ex Cambris minime" He died 
in AD. 664, in the great mortality 
termed the  Buidhe-connail (yellow 
plague), which proved fatal to so many 
of the saints of Ireland—(Annals of the 
Four Masters, ad annum, vol. i. p. 275.) 

The S. Vigean's, (or, as it is some- 
times locally called, S. Virgin’s) market 


VIGEAN—VINCENT FERRER. 


was held on 20th January, old style. 
Miller, in his History of Arbroath 
and its Abbey, p. 144, says,— 
* Vigeanus, the hermit and confessor, 
died at Grange of Conon (in the imme- 
diate neighbourhood) about 1012. The 
festival in honour of his death was held 
annualy on the 20th of January 
(o.s.), and gave rise to the fair termed S. 
Vigean's market, now the Wester mar- 
ket.” “Till about the beginning of the 
last century it is said to have been held 
at a place near Smithy Croft beyond the 
burgh of Arbroath, although locally 
close to the precincts of the abbey. The 
fair is now held on the Saturday market 
next to the 31st January.”—(Informa- 
tion by Rev. W. Henderson. See 
Ussher’s Works, vol. vi p. 538.) He oc- 
curs also as patron of Ecclefechan, called 
in charters “ Ecclesia Sancti Fechani.” 
There is an interesting account of 
his monastic establishment at Ard-Oil- 
ean in Petrie’s “Round Towers,” p. 426. 


VILDRIN.—“ In the neighbourhood 
of Drumakill (in the parish of Drymen, 
in Lennox) is a remarkable well called 
S. Vildrin's well. .... The well is still 
ornamented with an image, said to be of 
its patron saint; and in consequence of 
the healing virtues which the opinions 
of a less enlightened age ascribed to it, 
is often visited in modern times, ‘throu 
the pervers inclinatioun of mannes ingyn 
to superstitioun,’ by pilgrims who profess 
little veneration for the ancient faith.” 
—(Orig. Par. i. p. 38.) 


VINCENT FERRER. April 5, A.D. 
1419.—The great Dominican of Valen- 


VIRO—VOLOCUS. 


tia, who occupies so important a place 
in the history of the great schism of the 
West, and of the preparations for the 
Council of Constance, is recorded to 
have visited, at the instance of Henry 
IV., not only England, but also Scot- 
land, in the chief towns of which he is 
believed to have exercised that office of 
preaching for which he was celebrated 
through Europe. He was employed by 
Peter de Luna, who reigned at Avignon 
as Antipope under the title of Benedict 
XIII. ; but his biographers describe him 
as on more than one occasion vainly 
urging his resignation, and he did what 
he could to strengthen the hands of 
those who promoted the Council of Con- 
stance. Finally he received faculties 
from Martin V. 

In the life of the saint, in the Acta 
Sanctorum, April. t. i. p. 493, occurs the 
following passage:—-“ Dum vero per 
Gallias evangelizando discurreret, Hen- 
ricus rex Anglie, permotus fama mira- 
bilium operum ejus, parata quadam navi 
et in ea missis nunciis et litteris, eum 
ad se venire et in eam insulam navigare 
obsecravit. Factoque itaque quod reli- 
giosus rex petierat . . . . inde dis- 
cessit, et in Scotiam, que est Anglis 
proxima, navigavit. Ivit etin Hiberniam 
. « . . tandem in Gallias recursus est.” 
It appears that at this time Juan was 
king of Castile and Leon; hence the 
visit must have been between 1407, the 
date of his accession, and 1413, the 
year of the death of Henry IV., if, in- 
deed, the king was Henry IV., which 
there is no reason to question. 

The life from which this is an extract 
was written A.D. 1455, by “Petrus Ran- 


459 


zanus,” O. P., afterwards “ episcopus 
Lucerinus.” 

This expedition into Scotland is not 
mentioned by the Fathers Quetif and 
Echard. 


VIRO. May 8, aD. 750. —Camer- 
arius, following Surius, states (pp. 138-9) 
that S. Viro, after being elected Bishop of 
Glasgow, made a pilgrimage with Plech- 
elm the priest to Rome, where he was 
kindly received by the Pope. After re- 
turning to Scotland he betook himself to 
Gallia, where he became confessor to 
Pepin. He built an oratory dedicated 
tothe Virgin and S, Peter. Capgrave 
(fol. ccevii.) gives his journey to Rome, 
but does not associate him with Glasgow. 
He mentions his connection with Pepin, 
and that he retired to Mons Petri, or 
Mons Odule, near Roermonde. The 
Martyrology of Donegal makes him 
Archbishop of Ath-cliath (i.e. Dublin), 
and son of Credu, who is of the race of 
Conaire, king of Erin.—(Mart. Donegal, 
p. 121; Colgan, Act. SS. Hib., p. 542.) 


VODAL, or VODVAL. AD. 720.— 
He was a Pictish priest, who, with one 
servant, Magnebert, travelled abroad to 
preach the Gospel. Coming to Soissons, 
Abbess Hildegarde offered him a cell 
near her monastery, where he became 
an “inclusus.” After a temporary mis- 
understanding with her, which led to 
his determination to return to Pictland, 
he was persuaded to remain, and died in 
great reputation as a saint in A.D. 720. 
—(Innes, Civ. and Eccles. Hist. p. 318.) 


VOLOCUS or MAKWOLOCH, B. 


460 


and ©. January 29.—The legend of 
S. Volocus preserved in the Breviary 
of Aberdeen (pars fol. hyem. xliv.b) 
indicates the condition of faith in Scot- 
land at the time when S. Celestine 
sent Palladius first to the Scots already 
believing in Christ in Ireland, and then 
to Pictland. It assumes a certain 
coarse form of Christianity as existing 
amidst a barbarous people, among whom 
the worship of idols still obtained, while 
à purer and more organised system was 
being introduced from Rome. What 
we know of the missions of S. Pal- 
ladius and S. Ninian makes this exceed- 
ingly probable. There seems no reason 
to doubt that from time to time mis- 
sionary efforts from Rome, through Gaul, 
introduced a higher form of faith and 
morals, as well as a more orderly form 
of Church government, among the rude 
and uncultivated inhabitants. The le- 
gend, from the character of the Latin, 
indicates great antiquity. S. Volocus 
is a foreigner. He leaves his native 
land and his parents. He inhabits a 
little house woven together of reeds 
and wattles. It also describes just such 
a state of ‘relaxation of morals as is de- 
plored in Karl David's inquisition, already 
alluded to in the notice of S. Margaret. 
See MARGARET. The day of his death 
is recorded. It is difficult to determine 
what is the correct form of the name of 
the saint, the present shape of which 
indicates a certain corruption. Analogy 
might possibly lead one to suppose that 
Volocus was the Latin form of the Irish 
name Faelchu. There was a Faelchu 
Mae Dorbene abbot of Hy in 717-724, 
under whom the society received the 


VOLOCUS. 


Roman tonsure, and in whose time they 
were driven by King Nectan across the 
Dorsum Britannie.—(Reeves' Adamnan, 
p. 381.) 

The legend in the Breviary is to 
this effect :— 

More than 400 years after our Lord 
had suffered for us, while this one faith 
which the Roman Church preaches had 
not been received through all Scocia on 
account of the paucity of the teachers 
of the said church : among these blessed 
Volocus the bishop, a distinguished con- 
fessor of Christ, is said to have flourished 
with remarkable miracles in the northern 
part of that country, and to have chosen 
for himself a place of dwelling among 
the high rocks. 

For, having left his native land and 
his parents, after that by divine aid he 
had fully understood the faith of Christ, 
on hearing that our Saviour Jesus Christ 
had suffered a most ignominious death 
for him and for other miserable sinners, 
and also that for our salvation and for 
the salvation of all men, coming down 
to earth from the Father, He had become 
subject to human laws, the blessed 
Volocus, following His steps as far 
as the frailty of his nature allowed, 
voluntarily submitted himself to the 
greatest hunger, thirst, and cold, that 
in this life he might satisfy for his 
own sins and for those of others in his 
church. 

For he preferred a poor little house, 
woven together of reeds and wattles, to 
a royal palace. In this he led a life of 
poverty and humility, on all sides shun- 
ning the dignities of the world, that he 
might achieve to himself a higher re- 


VOLOCUS—WALTHEOF. 


ward in heaven, and for eternal guerdon 
receive a perpetual crown. 

But the race whom he preferred to 
convert to the faith of Christ, and whom 
actually, by his preaching and exhorta- 
tion, he did convert, no one would hesi- 
tate to describe as fierce, untamed, 
void of decency of manners and 
virtue, and incapable of easily listening 
to the word of truth, and their conver- 
sation was rather that of the brutes 
that perish than of men. 

For they had neither altar nor temple, 
nor any oratory in which they might re- 
turn thanks to their Creator ; and as they 
believed not that Christ had been born, 
so they had neither knowledge nor faith, 
but like brute animals given to eating, 
sleeping, and gorging, they finished their 
lives in the blindness of unbelief, assert- 
ing that there was no eternal punish- 
ment for sins to be inflicted on the 
unjust. 

But the blessed Volocus, tenderly 
compassionating their errors for the love 
of Christ, never ceased from preaching, 
instruction, and exhortation, sometimes 
mixing up light and sweet things, some- 
times stern and hard ones, to persuade 
them to attain to the heavenly kingdom. 
Nor, in the meantime, by the divine 
power, were wonderful miracles wanting 
in their presence; and if these had not 
occurred they would certainly not have 
been converted from their errors to the 
faith ; but, understanding that these 
miracles belonged not to the human 
race, but were of God, more than I can 
count were by the means of blessed 
Voloeus converted to Christ. At 
length, in extreme old age, on the 4th 


461 


of the kalends of February, with angels 
standing around, his soul passed away 
to Christ, and in his honour up to this 
time the parochial churches of Tumeth 
and Logy in Mar are dedicated.— 
(Brev. Aberd., pars hyem. fol. 44b, 45.) 
In the popular rhyme we have this com- 
memoration :— 


** Wala-fair in Logie Mar 
The thirtieth day of Januar." 


Tumeth is, in the Martyrology of Aber- 
deen, called Dummeth. ^ Camerarius 
calls it Tunimeg. The old parish of 
Dunmeth is now included in the parish 
of Glass. Camerarius places his death 
in 733, and gives his mission at Candida 
Casa, as well as in Balveny, Strath- 
don, and Mar.— (Camerarius, p. 75; 
V. D. A. p. 128, note) Two miles 
below Beldorny, in the parish of Glass, 
are S. Wallach's Baths, a ruined chapel 
called Wallach's Kirk, and S. Wallach's 
WelL—(V. D. A. p. 129; Antiq. of 
Aberdeen and Banff, vol ii p. 181.) 
The well till very lately was visited as 


a place of pilgrimage. 


WALTHEOF or WALDEVE.  Au- 
gust 3, AD. 1160.—Waltheof or Wal- 
deve was the son of Simon de S. Liz, 
who was appointed by the Conqueror to 
marry Judith, his beautiful but treacher- 
ous niece, who afterwards married Wal- 
theof, son of the Earl Siward. "When 
Judith refused to marry Simon because 
“he halted of a leg," he obtained ‘her 
daughter Maude, and along with her 
the earldom of Northampton. The 
issue of this marriage was our saint, 
who, joining the canons in the diocese 


462 


of York, where he entertained S. 
Malachi, became a Cistercian monk, and 
was second abbot of Melrose, where he 
died in the odour of sanctity. The 
Chronicle of Mailros states that he was 
elected bishop of S. Andrews, but de- 
clined to accept the honour.—See also 
the Acta Sanctorum, Bolland. Aug. t. i. 
pp. 241-277; Fordun, Scotichronicon, 
lib, vi c. 24-35, vol i pp. 339, 
350, ed. Goodall; Hardy’s Catalogue, 
ii 284.) Capgrave (fol. cclxxxxiii.) calls 
him Wallenus or Waltheof. ‘Nomen 
ejus in Anglorum ydiomate dissillabum, 
si secunda sillaba correpta accentis pro- 
peratur elecfus sapor, si producta accentis 
electus latro appellatur He died in 
1160. 

In S. Bernard's Life of S. Malachi 
O'Morgair, ch. xv. 36,a pretty story is 
told of S. Waltheof giving the saint a 
rough horse, apologising for its deficien- 
cies, saying he would have given a better 
had he possessed one. The saint will- 
ingly accepted it, saying that nothing 
could be evil to him which was be- 
stowed with such a will The palfrey 
became easy, was ridden by him nine 
years, and turned white. 

In the Chronicon de Mailros (p. 84), 
at the year 1171, is the record of the 
opening of his tomb, and the discovery of 
his body uncorrupt, by Ingelram, Bishop 
of Glasgow, and four abbots, twelve 
years after his death. A new stone, 
of polished marble, was put over the 
blessed remains, to the great joy of all. 


WILLIAM. May 23, cir. 1200.—At 
Rochester on this day was the deposition 
of S. William of Perth, a holy pilgrim, 


WALTHEOF—WILLIAM. 


murdered in that neighbourhood by a 
youth whom he had brought up out of 
charity. His body was buried in the 
cathedral and wrought miracles. He was 
a baker, who, converted to God in his 
early youth, betook himself to good works, 
giving the tenth loaf to the poor, and 
adopting a wretched boy, whose name 
was Cokermay Doveni, “quod lingua Sco- 
tensium inventitius David appellatur.” 
Wishing to go on pilgrimage, he set forth 
with staff and scrip attended by this 
boy alone. Travelling through the 
first and second provinces (Bernicia and 
Mercia) he came by the king's highway to 
Rochester. On their way to Canterbury 
the servant first struck him on the back of 
his head with an axe, and then cut his 
throat. A mad woman who washed 
his remains was miraculously cured, and 
hence his fame.—(Capgrave, fol. cccxi. 
Acta SS. Maii, t. v. p. 268.) 

“The year 1201 is given as the date 
of the burial of his corpse in the cathe- 
dral His canonisation is said to have 
taken place in 1266 or thereabouts, and 
his tomb became a very popular object 
of pilgrimage ; and the choir and tran- 
septs of the cathedral are said to have 
been rebuilt from the offerings at his 
shrine His tomb, a plain altar-tomb 
under a semicircular recess in the wall, 
still retaining what may have been its 
original rude diapering, stands at the 
north end of the north choir-transept, 
between the north-east corner and 
Bishop Walter de Merton's tomb. Iam 
not sure whether this was the ‘shrine,’ 
or whether there was an altar in an ad- 
joining chapel on the east side. Let me 
add that there is a passage up the north

chester.) 


WISSAN.—In the Retours (Ayr,

family, we find the “jus patronatüs

comitatu." 


WYNNIN. January 21, A.D. 579.— 
That the language of the inhabitants of 
the Cymrickingdom of Strathelydeshould 
be similar to that spoken in Wales pro- 
per, is only natural; and if the Wyn- 
ninus of Cuningham be the same as 
Finan, as Capgrave asserts, we have an 
instance of that softening of the conso- 
nants which distinguishes the Welsh 
from the other forms of the Celtic. 
Wynnin is a local corruption of Gwynnin, 
Gw or Gu being the Welsh equivalent of 
the Irish Fai. Vynninus, which appears 
in some Kalendars, is not the Welsh 
but the Latin form, Finan becoming 
Vynninus as Fechin becomes Vigeanus, 
and Fergal Virgilius. 

The legend in the Breviary of Aber- 
deen has the character of considerable 
circumstantiality. ^ According to it, 
Wynninus, born in the Scotic province, 
of an illustrious race of its princes, edu- 
cated in a noble family, trained by his 
parents with no small care and solicitude, 
and enjoying a liberal education dur- 
ing ten years, cast aside all human 
things, devoted himself to the service of 
God, and took pains to persevere therein 


463 


without intermission till he came to full 
age. He often visited foreign regions, 
and sought to lead a solitary life away 
from the care of his parents. 

The constant intercourse with his 
friends and relations, and the frequent 
visits of his neighbours, became a burden 
to him, in that by various occupations 
they hindered his perpetual contempla- 
tion of God ; wherefore, anxiously desir- 
ing to escape far away from the sight of 
them, he chose an opportunity of secretly 
preparing a fleet and stocking it with 
the provisions necessary for the voyage, 
and embarked with a prosperous wind 
along with some fellow warriors de- 
voted to his profession. They were 
carried into Scocia Minor, and touched 
the land at a place which was anciently 
called Coninghame. 

As soon as they had landed, having 
no means of subsistence, they came to a 
river called Garnock for the sake of 
fishing ; and after sitting a little while 
to rest on the bank, he ordered a boy to 
throw his hook into the river to take 
some little fishes. Havingdone this many 
times at the command of blessed Wyn- 
ninus, he caught nothing; and blessed 
Wynninus being saddened, cursed the 
river, saying that no one should ever 
catch fishes in it, on which, after a little, 
the river left its own channel and began 
to direct its course in another way, con- 
trary to nature, as it does to this day. 

Wherefore the man of God, leaving 
that place, betook himself to another, 
which is now called Sacrum Nemus 
(Holywood), where he and his com- 
panions, men of the most approved life, 
selected a place to remain in. Having 


464 


no water to drink, on praying to God 
a clear fountain bubbled up, of which 
many who drink are healed of their 
infirmities up to the present time. On 
that night an angel of the Lord appeared 
to blessed Wynninus, saying, “Wynninus, 
be of good courage, and let thy heart 
be consoled in the Lord, for God him- 
self, the most high, hath prepared this 
place for thine inhabitation.” 

On saying this the angelic vision 
disappeared, but blessed Wynninus, 
cheered by such a visit, rendered humble 
thanks to the Lord God Omnipotent, 
and there built his dwelling-place with 
the rest of his disciples. In it by their 
preaching several persons were won to 
the faith of Christ. At length, in a good 
and holy old age, he was consecrated 
bishop by the clerics and people of his 
country, and, sustained by many miracles, 
he slept in the Lord and was honourably 
interred in Kilwynne, where now the 
glory of monasticism flourishes, and the 
perpetual sanctity of those holy men— 
* ubi nune monachorum viget claritas et 
illorum virorum sanctitas perpetua." 

After this a certain person in the 
town of blessed Wynninus, who laboured 
under great weakness, and was threat- 
ened with an incurable disease from 
God, so that his life was despaired of, 
was brought by his friends to the basi- 
lica of blessed Wynninus that he might 
be cured. And as they poured forth 
humble prayers with tears to God and 
blessed Wynninus, there stood outside 
the church a stone cross marvellously 
constructed, which blessed Wynninus in 
his life, with his own hands, had erected 
in honour of blessed Brigida the Virgin ; 


WYNNIN. 


to it they fixed the sick youth, and 
frequently invoked the name of the holy 
man. By the advice of the priests they 
entered the church praying, and laid the 
sick man down before him ; and after a 
little rest he recovered himself, and when 
they carried him home he was restored 
to his pristine health.—(Brev. Aberd. 
pars hyem. f. xxxviii.) 

With reference to this legend, it is 
worthy of note that the Garnock in 
Stevenston is said to have had its course 
changed.—(N.8S. A. v. 428.) We find also 
a curious parallel to this in what S. Gre- 
gory relates of S. Frigidian, bishop of 
Lucca, how that when the river Auser 
(hod. Serchio) flooded the city and its 
lands, the saint took alittle harrow, and 
making a shallow trench, conducted the 
river in a course more remote and less 
likely to flood the fields. 

Thomas Innes, following the life in 
Capgrave, states that “this Winnyn, 
going afterwards to Rome (anno 
540: Ussher, Index Chron) was 
ordained bishop, and returning exer- 
cised the sacred functions in Ireland and 
in those western parts of Scotland, where 
he died, in great opinion of sanctity, and 
was buried in Cunningham, at the place 
called Kilwinning, from his name, where 
an abbey was afterwards erected.—(Civ. 
and Eccl. Hist., pp. 114, 124.) 

Camerarius (p. 88) maintains that be- 
fore he was bishop he was abbot of some 
monastery in Fife. 

Alban Butler treats of S. Frigidian 
at March 18. He succeeded Geminian, 
bishop of Lucca, and was eleventh bishop 
after S. Paulinus, the founder. It is 
remarkable that the year assigned for 


WYNNIN. 


his death, namely 578, is the exact one 
at which S. Finnan’s, of Moville, is re- 
corded in the Annals of Ulster. 
Capgrave identifies S. Wynninus with 
S. Finanus: “Finanus qui Wallico ser- 
mone Winninus appellatus, patre Carpreo, 
matre vero Lassara, Aradeorum gente et 
nobili prosapia de nudia (qu. midia) 
oriundus fuit"-— (Nova Legenda, f. 
cxlvii) His sanctity was predicted by 
S. Patrick ; his education was conducted 
first by S. Colman, and then by &. 
Caelan, abbot of Nendrum, who pro- 
phesied that a teacher fitter for him 
should come. Accordingly the ships of 
the most holy Bishop Nennio came from 
Britain, who carried Finan away and 
trained him at his see, which is called 
the Magnum Monasterium. Here he 
performed many miracles. He went to 
Rome, stayed there seven years, and 
was ordained priest. He converted two 
heathen nations in the neighbourhood 
of Italy by the force of his preaching 
and miracles. He returned to his coun- 
try, i.e. Ireland, and was elevated to the 
episcopate. He raised a nun to life in 
the church called Cellee montis. He 
brought to reason King Diarmait, and had 
dealings with his predecessor Tuathal. 
He appears to have died in Ireland on 
the 4th of the ides of September, but 
his body was buried in Scotland, in Con- 
inghame, in the place which is called by 
them “Wallice nomine Kilwinin."—(Cap- 
grave, Nov. Leg. f. cxlvi.-vii.) The 4th 
of the ides of September identifies 
him with S. Finnan of Maghbile. He 
was of the race of Fiatach Fionn, 
king of Ireland, from whom the Dal- 
fiatach descend, and who was of 
30 


465 


the seed of Heremon.—(Mart. Done- 
gal.) 

I am indebted to the Rev. Dr. Reeves 
for the following interesting communica- 
tion :—“ Who this Finan was in the 
history of the Irish Church we are able 
to ascertain through the names of his 
parents as given by Capgrave. Cairpre, 
which answers to Capgrave’s Carpreus, 
appears in the Irish hagiogeneses as the 
father of Finnan of Moville ; while La- 
sair, the same as Capgrave's Lassara, is 
stated by ZEngus to have been mother 
to Finnan of Moville. Thus we iden- 
tify the Ayrshire saint, with the founder 
of Moville in the Ards of the county of 
Down (see Reeves' Eccl. Antiq. of Down, 
etc, p. 151), who was also the patron 
saint of the Dal Fiatachs, or royal house 
of Uladh. He was also founder of Druim- 
fionn, now Dromin, inthe county of Louth, 
in which monastery S. Columba is said to 
have been his pupil. He died in the 
year 579, according to Tighernach and 
the Annals of Ulster. And it is curious 
that S. Frigidian’s death, in external 
authorities, is placed at 578. There is 
good reason for believing that he was 
identical with S. Frigidianus, whom the 
Italians commemorate as patron saint of 
Lucca. Two lives of him, which Colgan 
has published, drawn from continental 
authorities—one from his office as used 
at Lucca, the other from a MS. in the 
Chartreuse of Cologne—agree with our 
domestic records as to his extraction, his 
education, and his church of Maghbile. 
Frigidianus has the distinction of being 
mentioned with respect by S. Gregory, 
who was his contemporary.—(Dial. lib. iii. 
c. 9. See Colgan, Acta SS. pp. 634-642.)" 


466 


It is to be observed, however, that 
the saint’s festival is kept in the several 
churches on different days: in Scotland 
on 21st January, in Ireland on 11th 
February, and more properly 10th Sep- 
tember, and in Lucca on the 18th March 
and 18th November, which is the festi- 
val of his translation. 

It is a singular fact that the Irish 
have no life of him, though so distin- 
guished a saint. This may be accounted 
for by his having left his native country 
and settled finally in Italy. 

His churches are— 

1. Kilwinning. On 21st January (o.s.) 
his feast used to be observed here, which 
was afterwards represented by an annual 
fair, called S. Winning's day. Itisnow 
held on February (n.s.) A little south 
of the manse is 8. Winning’s Well. 

79. Holywood, in Dumfriesshire. Here 
also was his well, and the place was 
anciently called Dercongal—(N. S. A, 
Dumfries, pp. 811,-816, 833.) 

3. At Dalry is a hill, Caer-winning, 
with a fort on the top.—(N. S. A, Ayr, 
p. 219.) 


YARCHARDUS. August 24.—The 
Aberdeen Martyrology at this day gives 
us “In Scocia Sancti YarchardisEpiscopi 
apud Kyncarden Aberdonensis dyocesis.” 
King calls him Erchade, and Dempster 
Erthadus. The Breviary styles him Ir- 
chardus, and states that he was born 
among barbarous and untaught people in 
Tolmaid in Kincardin Oneyll, where, from 
his early days,he rebuked unbelievers and 
preached virtue. S. Ternanus ordained 


WYNNIN—YARCHARDUS. 


him priest, and made him his coadjutor 
and penitentiary in all the provinces 
under his jurisdietion. Going to Rome, 
he was consecrated bishop by Pope Gre- 
gory. Returning to Scotland he passed 
by the province of Pictavia or Poitou in. 
Gaul, where he found many of the Picti or 
natives of Poitou subjugated by the Galli. 
He was the means of restoring them to 
their belief. After this, he fell sick, 
and. humbly besought God that he 
might not see death till he came to his 
own country. Passing through the coast 
of Anglia and Scocia, preaching by the 
way, he at length came to the hill of 
Kincardine Oneyll, when he was honour- 
ably received by his compatriots. Per- 
ceiving that death was approaching, 
he commanded his body to be placed 
in a chariot drawn by two horses, 
and to be laid where the chariot 
stopped. In that place a fine churc 
was erected. x 
If we may judge by the dedications, 
the influence of this saint must have 
been very great. Beside the spot asso- 
ciated with him in the Breviary, Kincar- 
dine O’Neil, we have a parish of Kin- 
cardine annexed at the time of the 
Reformation to Abernethy on the Spey, 
and a seaport town of that name in the 
parish of Tulliallan, in Perthshire: 
another parish in Ross-shire, fourteen 
miles from Tain: another in Monteith, 
two miles from Doune ; and lastly, the 
county which takes its name from the 
ancient castle which was once a royal 
residence.—(Brev. Aberd. pars estiv. fol. 
Ixxxix.; Acta SS. Aug. t. iv. p. 773.) |

ADAMNAN—DONAN. 


ADAMNAN.—There was a chap- 
lainry of S. Adamnan in the church of 
Dalmeny (Retours, Linlithgow, 135); 
and in the church of Dunkeld (Reg. Mag. 
Sig. lib. xxiij. No. 42); also the * Acra 
S. Adanani" in the lordship of Cupar 
(ibid. Perth, 64). 


ALEXANDER, q. v.—In the Retours 
we have the service of Alexander Leving- 
stoun, as heir to his father “in terris 
capelle Saneti Alexandri, vulgariter 
nuncupatis Kirklands, et parva silva 
vocata Sanct Alexanders Cuthill cum 
Cuthelbrae in baronia de  Herbert- 
schyr."— (Retours, Stirling, 354.) 


BENEVOLUS.—One of the followers 
of S. Bonifacius. 


BONACH or BONOC.—If this is 
the S. Benedictus of.the Bonifacian 
legend, it is a curious instance of a 
Latin name being turned into Erse. 
Beannaichte would be the translation 
of Benedictus. The opposite process of 
Celtic names being Latinised is very 
common. 


BRIMMIN or BRINAN.—There is 
a chapel to this saint, perhaps S. Bran- 
dan, in the island of S. Kilda.—(Orig. 
Par. ii. p. 380.) 


DONAN, THE Firry-Two Com- 
PANIONS OF.— Though Henschenius 
throws a doubt on the authenticity of 
the names of the martyrs of Ega who 
were slain at the instigation of the 
queen of the couritry, it has been thought 
right to add them here. They are as 
follows :— 

ZEdanus, Iarloga, Maricus, Congallius, 
Lonanus, Maclasrius, Joannes, Arnanes, 
Erninus, Baithinus, Rothanus, Andre- 
lanus, Carellus, Rotanus, Fergussanus, 
Rectarius, Connidius, Endeus, Macloga, 
Guretius, Junetus, Coranus, Baithanus, 
Colmanus, Jernludus, Lugadius, Luda, 
Gruundus, Cucalinus, Cobranus, Conmun- 
dus, Cumminus, Balthianus, Senachus, 
Demanus, Cummenus, Fernlugus, Fin- 
anus, Finnchanus, Finnichus, Conanus, 
Modomma, Cronanus, Kieranus, Col- 
manus, Naviunus, Remanus, Erninus, 
Ailchuo, Donnanus.—-(Vide Acta SS. 
April, t. ii. p. 487 ; Reeves’ Adamnan, 
pp. 303-309.) The Martyrology of Tal- 
laght has *Donnani Egha cum suis lii. 
Quorum nomina in majore libro senti- 
mus."—(Mart. Tallaght, p. xxi.) 

The Greater Book, in which the 
names were said to be preserved, is the 
full copy of the Martyrology of Tal- 
laght, which was extracted from the 


468 


Book of Leinster, and is now preserved 
in the College of S. Isidore at Rome. 
The MS. dates circ. 1100. 


DONDAN.—Dondan of Little Ber- 
neray is one of the saints of the Lewes 
mentioned by Martin.—(Western Isles, 
p.27.) Itis probably the same name 
as Donan. 


FILLAN.—Killallan or Killellan, the 
name of a parish in Renfrew, is a cor- 
ruption of Kill-Fillan. There is a large 
stone a little distant from the kirk, with 
a hollow in the middle, which is called 
Fillan’s Seat ; a little farther, a spring 
well called Fillan’s Well. This was filled 
up by the minister in the end of last 
century, to abate superstition. There 
is a fair here in the month of January 
called Fillan’s Fair and Fillan’s Day. 
—(0. S. A. vol. i. p. 316.) 


INDRECHT, A. and M. March 12, 
A.D. 854.—He was twenty-first abbot of 
Hy, and was in office in A.D. 849, in 
which year he went to Ireland with S. Co- 
lumba's relies.—(Ann. Ult. ad ann. 849.) 
He suffered martyrdom on his way 
to Rome among the Saxons. “856. 
Heres Columeille, sapiens, optimus, tiii. 
id. Marci apud Saxones martyrizatur."— 
(Ann. Ult. ad ann. ; Reeves’ Adamnan, 


DONDAN—OURET. 


p. 390.) A legend, still in MS, by 
William of Malmesbury, misdates the 
martyrdom by one hundred and sixty- 
five years, and places it near Glaston- 
bury. (See Haddan and Stubbs’ 
Councils and Ecclesiastical Documents 
relating to Great Britain and Ireland, 
vol. iii. p. 139.) 


MAHAN.—In an act in favour of 
Alexander, Earl of Murray, for chang- 
ing his fairs at Doune in Menteith, two 
fairs are mentioned, one on the 15th 
November, called S. Mahan’s day, which 
was of old kept at the kirk of Kilmahog, 
and another called S. Mittan's day, 
holden on the last of January yearly, 
which was of old kept at the kirk of 
Kilmadock. —(Act. Parl. vii. 663.) 


MARNAN.—In a tack of the rents, 
etc, of the Abbey of Kilwynning, by 
Alexander, abbot of the same, to Henry 
Sinclair, parson of Glasgow, the tacks- 
man is taken bound “ to gif to the pure 
folkis Sanct Marnis meit."—(Acta Dom. 
Concilij, xxiij. 18.) 


MITTAN. See Manan. 


OURET.—Close to Brechin, on the 
north bank of the Esk, near the Stan- 
nochy Bridge, is S. Ouret's Well.

~“"uch curious information is given by Bishop 


uocuments of considerable value ; but we may 
safely say that the most generally acceptable por- 
tion’ of the volume will be found to be, not the 
Kalendars, but the historical notices of the saints, 
with which the volume concludes. "These sketches, 
translated and selected from many sources, both 
printed and manuscript, are about four hundred in 
number ; while they are illustrated by references to 
a series of authorities, the mere enumeration of 
which occüpies eight quarto pages. 

Some of the uses of such a collection must be 
obvious. Omne,of them is the means afforded of 






E: y course. "The written accounts of these 
e aints, of course, vary much in character, some 
b shadowy and incoherent ; while the facts pre- 


servedin others give totheir subjects an individuality 
far greater than could have been anticipated. It is 
wonderful, also, how frequently thestatements which 
they preserve fit in with historical facts to be found 
elsewhere, and with suggestions from topography 
which serve to assure us of their foundation in real 
‘events ; just as Dean Stanley has said of Iona, that 
‘¢its natural features and Celtic names give us the 
complete framework of the earliest authentic history 
of Scottish Christianity.” From some of these lives 
we may almost picture to ourselves the line of the 
missionaries’ work, and the condition of those infant 
monastic establishments through which the know- 
ledge of Christianity was introduced and propagated, 
“Thus, in the Gaelic Memoranda preserved in the 
“Pook of Deer," we may see how StColumba andhis 
diseiple, Drostan, effected a settlement among the 
Picts of Aberdeenshire, how their little monastery 


was endowed by the Maormor and Toshachs of. the | £. 
district, and even by the Kings of Alba, and how this | 


early system, founde upon the tribal arrangements 
of the people, was in due time superseded by the 
institution of the parish. The memory of the original 
foundation was kept alive by the dedication of the 
parish church in honour of St Drostan, to whose 
charge the illustrious Columba committed his infant 
monastery, by the annual festival held on his day, 
and by the wells associated with his name. In many 
distriets the great, fair of the plàce was held on the 
festival of thé saint, and as it came to pass that tho 
market survived the religious festival, it frequently 
affords a clue to the identification of a local saint, 
where his name has been forgotten or become dis- 
guised under some strange misnomer. 

We may refer to the notices of St Fergus preserved 
in the Breviary of Aberdeen, in illustration of what 
has been said of the witness sometimes borne to the 

-traditionary accounts by facts otherwise established. 

“According to the breviary, Fergus came on a

sight appear, for'the legends are so mixed up with 
topography that in every corner of Scotland the 
local antiquary may now get glimpses of saints whose 
names have hitherto been little beyond confused 
myths, while the general classification which may 
follow will fill up a picture on which men of all 
tastes will love to dwell. : 

‘It may be a comfort to our agricultural readers to 
learn that if the diseases of. their cattle afford them 
much trouble and cause them great loss, yet they 
are not worse offthan their predecessors in the trade. 
On & fly-leaf of the Herdmanston Service Book is 
written in a hand of the fourteenth century, an 
exorcism and charm for ‘‘ lowngsocht,” or the disease 
which we now call pleuro-pneumenia. At the con- 
clnsion of the office it is stated that ‘‘ thai sal tak a 
best, and mac a bor in the horn, and thairin put 
the forsaid charm; and tak a peny, and bor in the 
bestis hevyd, and gar a woman gang to Sant Bride 
and offer it in hir name, and tak holy water and cast 
on tham as thai gang furth of the charmyng." 

It has to be kept in view that the Bishop's object 
in the present collection is simply historical, and 
while reproducing and translating from old autho- 
rities the accounts of the saints, he wishes them to 
be regarded as materials for the history of the 
country, rather than as symbols of theological belief. 

On this subject there are some instructive pas- 
sages in his eloquent preface, from which, in conclu- 
sion, we select the following, as explanatory of the 
scope. of this great work, which must long remain a 
landmark in the historical literature of Scotland :— 

** Beyond. the question of dedications, the legends of 
some of the saints contain valuable historical matter. 
In the almost entire dearth of authentic information. 
with regard to the history of Scotland before the time 
of St Margaret—a dearth relieved only by the notices 
in Bede, by the Irish and Welsh annals, by Adam- 
nan's ‘Life of St: Columba,’ by the Northern Sagas, 
and by the ‘Pictish Chronicle — we are thankful 
for the slightest hints with regard to the politics 
aud conditions of life of those obscure times. With 
every abatement caused by the uncritical nature 
of the compositions, we get from the legends a very 
definite picture of a state of society, in which violence 
and barbarism alternate with results of strong religious 
conviction, and in which we seem to discover those | 
orms of civil and ecclesiastical life Which are mani- 
fested to us in the other nations of the Celtic family. 
We should not have exhibited the whole case had we 
suppressed all the miracles, which form so great a'pro- 
portion of the incidents in'the lives. Some of these 
are such as to excite a smile upon the gravést counten- 
ance. The nature of this work, being untheological, 
precludes the necessity of touching on this. subject 
from any other than a literary point of view. Even 
those who reject them must admit their historie value 
as illustrations of the domestic life and manners of 
epochs of which we know so little. id 

‘Our earliest record of Scotic lifé, in the pages of 
St Adamnan’s ‘‘ History of St Columba,” exhibits the 
struggle of the supernatural ideas, often indeed allied 
to brute force, against brute force pure and simple. 
We see the excesses of the rough t; ny of the regulà 
modified and subdued by the influétice of the Church 
acting on convictions often caused by sign and portent. 
Supernatural ideas become most potent factors in'the 
politics of the kingdoms, and in fhe intercourse between 
the governors and the governed. ‘The institutions of 
social life exhibit the impress of religion. Thus, St 
Nathalan appears not merely as an honoured saint in 









stand in the old paths.

Mr Goodsir’s present contribution to theological f 
science takes the shape of a criticism on a treatise D 
by Professor Crawford, entitled ‘‘ The Doctrine of L 
Holy Scripture Respecting the Atonement.” At? 
first sight, there would not appear to be much oppor-: | 
tunity for Mr Goodsir to ventilate his peculiar, 
views in conection with such a subject. But truth’; 
is one, and if any section of it be thrust out of its 4| 
place, the other sections also will be disturbed. ; 
Accordingly,, our author has no difficulty in} 
gettiig at the Professor, even though the 
Professor ‘be .one of those safe Calvinists so ? 
numerous now-a-days, whose chief aim seems to 
be plentifully to declare the thing asit is. Defec-'* 
tive on Justification, it is inevitable that he should TT 
blunder in connection with the Atonement also. It; 
is pointed out that he infringes in the conduct of his , 
argument the inductive method that he is guilty of , 
numerous omissions, neglecting to handle various 
doctrines and sub-doctrines that were right in his ' 
way. Very serious charges also are brought against), 
his philology.” The true sense of verbs is missed, and ; 
passages are in consequence mistranslated, Prepo-. 
sitions are mistranslated, and the sense of Scripture’ i 
consequently misrepresented. The Professor also—’; 
and this is a very serious charge against a man’ 
occupying his position—is shown to have neglected: 
and infringed the scientific laws regulating, |) 
the use of the Greek article. With these /

him on to his own favourite hunting-ground of: 
Justification, and there he soon runs him to earth.! 
OF course, it is not our province to emit a verdict 
on the direct issues involved in such high contro-,

transparent honesty give a man a claim to be heard!
