Life
Baetan moccu Chormaic was the ninth abbot of Clonmacnoise from 653 and died on 1 March 664. He was of the Moccu Chormaic, of the Conmaicne Mara (now Connemara). He ruled twelve years, a long term for that time. He may have been a scholar of the Scriptures; one researcher thinks he was the teacher of the Irish 'Augustine'. His name stands in the martyrologies, which suggests that some regarded him as a holy man.
