Life
On 21 April (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Bughna of Tir Bretan. A note explains Tir Bretan as "the land of Britain", that is Wales. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology. No other secure details survive, and veneration remains local, without synodal canonization.
