Life

On 8 August (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Beoan of Fidh Chuilinn. The text calls him a bishop. He is described as son of Neassan, of the race of Cathaoir Mor of Leinster; his see lies in Ui Failghe. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Tallaght, the Martyrology of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
