- Profile
- Hermit or culdee near the river Nore where he was known to commune with angels.
Hermit near Maryborough.
His reputation for holiness attracted so many would-be students that he retired to be a lay brother at the monastery of Tallaght near Dublin under the abbacy of Saint Maelruan.
With Maelruan he wrote the Martyrology of Tallaght in 790.
Wrote Felire, a poetic version of the martyrology.
These works complete, he resumed life as a hermit.
