Mainchín Of Limerick
Mainchín mac Setnai (''fl''. late 6th century), also anglicised to Munchin, was allegedly the founder of the church of Luimneach (now Limerick), Ireland, and a saint in Irish tradition, acquiring special eminence as patron of Limerick City.Johnston, "Munster, saints of (act. ''c''.450–''c''.700)" Both his origins and the date of his association with the city are debated. Background Through his father Sétna, Mainchín is alleged to belong to the Dál Cais, given a pedigree linking him to the ancestors of the O'Brien dynasty. His tutor was the Corco Mruad saint Mac Creiche according to the ''Life'' of that saint. Mainchín is said to have founded Luimneach when Ferdomnach, king from the Dál Cais, granted him land at Inis Sibtond. A major problem with the above is that the Dál Cais themselves are unknown by that name before the 930s and are believed by scholars to be the descendants of a Déisi population which migrated into the region at an uncertain period. Before the Dál Cai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Manchán Of Lemanaghan
Saint Manchán mac Silláin (died 664), ''Manchianus'' in Latin sources, is the name of an early Irish saint, patron of Liath Mancháin, now Lemanaghan, in County Offaly.Stalmans and Charles-Edwards, "Meath, saints of (act. ''c''.400–''c''.900)". ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''.Breen, "Manchán, Manchianus, Manchíne". ''Dictionary of Irish Biography''. He is not to be confused with the scholar Manchán or Manchéne, abbot of Min Droichit (Co. Offaly). There are variant traditions concerning the saint's pedigree, possibly owing to confusion with one of several churchmen named Manchán or Mainchín. The most reliable genealogy makes him a son of Sillán son of Conall, who is said be a descendant of Rudraige Mór of Ulster, and names his mother Mella. Foundation of the monastery Manchán's church, Liath Mancháin, was located in the kingdom of Delbnae Bethra and its remains now lie approximately two kilometres from Pollagh.

Biography Manchán la, Maencha was an Irish scholar and abbot of ga, Min Droichit, Meanadroichit, now Mondrehid, in the barony of Upper Ossory, County Offaly. His name is also attached to Dissert Gallen, Co. Laois.Breen, "Manchán, Manchianus, Manchíne" Manchán twice makes his appearance in Latin sources as a scholar whose authority still mattered after his death. First, he is probably the Manchianus, called ''pater'' and ''sapiens'', who is named by an anonymous Irishman in his preface to the '' De mirabilibus sacrae scripturae'' ('On the miraculous things in sacred scripture'), written in 655 and so shortly after Manchán's death.Ó Cróinín, ''Early medieval Ireland'', pp. 187–8. The author, who uses the ''nom de plume'' Augustine and is for this reason known today as the Irish Pseudo-Augustine, appears to have been a pupil of Manchán as well as of one Eusebius. Second, M ...

Manaccan
Manaccan (; kw, Manahan) is a civil parish and village on the Lizard peninsula in south Cornwall, United Kingdom. The village is about five miles (8 km) south-southwest of Falmouth. The origin of the name Manaccan is probably derived not from a saint but from the Cornish for (church) of the monks. It was also at times called Minster in English because it must once have had a Celtic monastery. " St Manacca" is recorded as the patron saint as early as 1308. The population of Manaccan was 321 in the 2011 census, an increase from 299 in the 2001 census. Manaccan lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Mawgan
Mawgan and Meugan (also Meigant) (Latin: ''Mauganus'') are names referring to either one or two Brythonic saints who flourished in the 5th or 6th century. __NOTOC__ Both names are widely attested in place-names and church dedications, Mawgan in Cornwall and Brittany and Meugan in Wales, but it is uncertain whether the names refer to one and the same person. The parishes of St Mawgan and Mawgan-in-Meneage in Cornwall derive their names from Mauganus. There is also a Machan in West Lothian (Scotland), as shown by the place-name Ecclesmachan, but again this may be a distinct figure. No hagiographical ''Life'' survives for Mawgan or Meugan, but figures bearing Latinised versions of either of these names appear in the ''Lives'' of Cadog and David. A saint called Maucan or Moucan features in an episode of the late 11th-century ''Life'' of Cadog, in which he arbitrates a quarrel between Cadog and Maelgwn, king of Gwynedd. A ''Life'' of David, also of the late 11th century, refers to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caer Gybi (fort)
Caer Gybi was a small fortlet in Roman Wales in the Roman province of Britannia Superior. Its name in Latin is unknown. Today it stands at the centre of Holyhead in the Welsh county of Anglesey. Holyhead is named ''Caergybi'' in Welsh, after the fort. The fort is one of Europe's only three-walled Roman forts. The fourth side fronted the sea and was probably the site of a quay. Its date is unknown, but it is generally thought to be part of a late-4th-century scheme, associated with Segontium, which was used to defend the west coast against Irish sea-raiders. The Romans also built a watch tower, within Mynydd y Twr on the top of Holyhead Mountain, which was almost certainly used as the fort's look-out point. Both were possibly abandoned around 393, when the troops were sent to respond to the revolt of Eugenius of Gaul. In the 6th century, the old fort was given to Saint Cybi, who founded a monastery there. The Church of St Cybi still stands on the site today, with a small detached ...

Meubred Mybbard (Mewbred or Mebbred),also known as Calrogus was a 6th century hermit and is a local Cornish saint said to be the son of a King of Ireland.

He was later re-invented as an Irish prince. William Worcester names him as the son of an Irish king who became a Cornish hermit. He was a contemporary of St Mannacus and St Wyllow. An image of him carrying an extra head in his hands is included in a stained glass window in the church of St Neot alongside St Mabyn.
