Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Holy Hierarch Carthach son of Erbthaidhe on 26 March (Old Style), as a bishop. Tallaght writes him as Carthach, son of Arbertach. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.

Commemorated the same day March 26
