Life

Cinaedh mac Coscrach, who died in 874, was abbot of Aghaboe and a bard. The Annals of the Four Masters preserve a verse in his memory, which calls him a gifted bard, a torch, and the exalted abbot of Aghaboe. Nothing else is preserved. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization.
