Colmán Rímid
Colmán Rímid (or Colmán mac Báetáin) (died 604) was an Irish king who is included in some lists as a High King of Ireland. Colmán was the son of Báetán mac Muirchertaig (died 572), also considered to be a high king, and belonged to the Cenél nEógain branch of the northern Uí Néill. He ruled in Ailech from 578 to 602. His byname ''rímid'' means "the Counter", suggesting that he was numerate, unlike most contemporary kings. The high kingship of Ireland rotated between the Cenél nEógain and Cenél Conaill branches in the late 6th century. He is said to have shared the High Kingship with Áed Sláine. The accession of Colmán and Áed to the high kingship is recorded in the annals in 598. They are also listed as kings in the king lists. They are however omitted from the earliest king list, the ''Baile Chuind'' (The Ecstasy of Conn), a late 7th-century Irish poem. Fiachnae mac Báetáin of Ulaid may have been effectively king. In 602 Colmán defeated his Cenél C ...

Colmán Of Lann
Saint Colmán mac Luacháin was an early Irish abbot (''fl''. 7th century), founder and patron saint of Lann (Lynn, Co. Westmeath). The name of the saint's foundation, Lann (in full Lann mic Lúacháin), represents the early Irish word ''lann'' meaning "(piece of) land, church". The word is attested in at least two further placenames for church sites associated with namesakes of the saint: (1) Lann Elo (Lynally), the church of Colmán Elo; and (2) Lann Mocholmóc, the church of St Mocholmóc, a pet form of the name Colmán. A Middle Irish ''Life'' was written for him in the 12th century, possibly soon after 1122,Carney, "Language and Literature to 1169", p. 494. which is preserved in a single manuscript kept in the Rennes Library in Brittany. According to the ''Annals of Ulster'', 22 March (Holy Wednesday) in 1122 was the day when the saint's shrine was discovered in the burial place of Lann. Kuno Meyer, who edited the ''Life'', suggests that this event may have prompted the compo ...
