Life

Saint Baetan of Monu is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.

The compiler of the Donegal text suggests that he may be the Baetan who was a brother of Corbmac and Eimhin, of the race of Eoghan Mor, son of Oilioll Olum.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 23 March. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.

The sources consulted record nothing more about him.
