bishop of Cill Cele Christ, in Ui Dunchadha, of Fotharta in Leinster, was a native of Ulster, being son of Eochaidh and brother of Comgall. He left his native province, and, going to the west of Leinster, built a church in the district called Hy-Donchadha, which was afterwards known as Cill-Cele Chriost. There he wished to flee from all earthly employment and devote himself to heavenly contemplation; but honor pursued him, and invitus ad pontificalls dignitatis apicem rapitur.
