Irish Language
Irish ( Standard Irish: ), also known as Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the Insular Celtic branch of the Celtic language family, which is a part of the Indo-European language family. Irish is indigenous to the island of Ireland and was the population's first language until the 19th century, when English gradually became dominant, particularly in the last decades of the century. Irish is still spoken as a first language in a small number of areas of certain counties such as Cork, Donegal, Galway, and Kerry, as well as smaller areas of counties Mayo, Meath, and Waterford. It is also spoken by a larger group of habitual but non-traditional speakers, mostly in urban areas where the majority are second-language speakers. Daily users in Ireland outside the education system number around 73,000 (1.5%), and the total number of persons (aged 3 and over) who claimed they could speak Irish in April 2016 was 1,761,420, representing 39.8% of respondents.

Pict
The Picts were a group of peoples who lived in what is now northern and eastern Scotland (north of the Firth of Forth) during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Where they lived and what their culture was like can be inferred from early medieval texts and Pictish stones. Their Latin name, , appears in written records from the 3rd to the 10th century. Early medieval sources report the existence of a distinct Pictish language, which today is believed to have been an Insular Celtic language, closely related to the Brittonic spoken by the Britons who lived to the south. Picts are assumed to have been the descendants of the Caledonii and other Iron Age tribes that were mentioned by Roman historians or on the world map of Ptolemy. The Pictish kingdom, often called Pictland in modern sources, achieved a large degree of political unity in the late 7th and early 8th centuries through the expanding kingdom of Fortriu, the Iron Age Verturiones. By the year 900, the resulting Pict ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
St Brigid
Saint Brigid of Kildare or Brigid of Ireland ( ga, Naomh Bríd; la, Brigida; 525) is the patroness saint (or 'mother saint') of Ireland, and one of its three national saints along with Patrick and Columba. According to medieval Irish hagiographies, she was an abbess who founded several convents of nuns, most notably that of Kildare, which was one of the most important in Ireland. There are few historical facts about her, and early hagiographies are mainly anecdotes and miracle tales, some of which are rooted in pagan folklore.Farmer, David. ''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'' (Fifth Edition, Revised). Oxford University Press, 2011. p.66 She is patroness of many things, including poetry, learning, healing, protection, blacksmithing, livestock and dairy production. The saint shares her name with a Celtic goddess. Brigid's feast day is 1 February, which was originally a pre-Christian festival called Imbolc, marking the beginning of spring. From 2023 it will be a public holiday i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Máel Brigte Of Moray
Máel Brigte, also known as Máel Brigte the Bucktoothed or Máel Brigte TuskThomson (2008) p. 28. was a 9th-century Pictish nobleman, most probably a mormaer of Moray. He was responsible – in a bizarre posthumous incident – for the death of Earl Sigurd the Mighty of Orkney. Death Battle with Sigurd the Mighty Little is known of Máel Brigte's life, but the story of his death is recorded in the '' Orkneyinga Saga''. According to this text, Máel Brigte was challenged by Sigurd to a 40-man-a-side battle to "settle their differences". Treacherously, Sigurd brought 80 men to the fight, and Máel Brigte knew he had been betrayed when he saw that each of Sigurd's horses had two men's legs on its flanks. Máel Brigte exhorted his men to "kill at least one man before we die ourselves" and although a fierce fight ensued, Máel Brigte was defeated and killed. Posthumous killing of Sigurd Sigurd had his enemies' heads strapped to his victorious men's saddles as trophies, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Máel Brigte Of Perth
Máel Brigte of Perth ( fl. 1128) was an important figure in Perth in the reign of King David I of Scotland. He is known only because the Church of the Holy Trinity in Dunfermline preserved written instructions from King David to Máel Brigte informing the latter that he had granted the church a tithe of his house in Perth. Máel Brigte thus may have been David's stewart in the town, or perhaps even the local ''toísech''. The instruction was given at nearby Scone, and it has been suggested that it was originally in Gaelic. The document calls him "Malbride Mac Congi", which probably means that his father had the name Congus, a rare but attested Scoto-Pictish Pictish is the extinct language, extinct Brittonic language spoken by the Picts, the people of eastern and northern Scotland from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages.

Máel Brigte Mac Tornáin
Máel Brigte mac Tornáin, also known as Maelbrigte mac Durnan (died 22 February 927), was an Irish clergyman who served as Archbishop of Armagh, abbot of Armagh from 883 and, in his role as ''Coarb'' of Colum Cille, as the Abbot of Iona, non-resident from 891, holding both positions until his death. He is likely responsible for commissioning and may have worked on the ''Mac Durnan Gospels,'' an illuminated manuscript now held in the Lambeth Palace Library in London. Origins Máel Brigte was a distant member of the royal lineage of Colum Cille of the Uí Néill of Tyrconnell and a member of the Branches of the Cenél Conaill#Cenél mBógaine, Cenél mBógaine a sept of the Cenél Conaill. Two of his cousins were also members of the ''Celtic Christianity#Monasticism, paruchia'' of Colum Cille; Dubhthach mac Dubáin († 938), abbot of Raphoe, would succeed him as abbot of Iona and Caencomhrac († 929), abbot and bishop of Derry.

Abbot Of Iona
The Abbot of Iona was the head of Iona Abbey during the Middle Ages and the leader of the monastic community of Iona, as well as the overlord of scores of monasteries in both Scotland and Ireland, including Durrow, Kells and, until the Synod of Whitby, Lindisfarne. It was one of the most prestigious clerical positions in Dark Age Europe, and was visited by kings and bishops of the Picts, Franks and English. The Ionan abbots also had the status of Comarba of Colum Cille, i.e. the successors of that Saint, Columba.Some sources refer to earlier abbots as Abbot of Hy. "Hy" being an early name for Iona (see Iona: Etymology and "He considered him as contemporary with Mugron, abbot of Hy (''d''. 980)..." ()) Iona's position as head of the Columban network (''familia'') of churches declined over time, with abbots based at Derry, Raphoe, Kells and Dunkeld. In Scotland, the abbots of Dunkeld ruled much of central Scotland in the 11th century, and functioned as some of the most important ...
