Life

On 27 July (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Diraidh of Eadardruim. A bracketed note calls him bishop of Ferna; the text also suggests he may be the Diraidh of Eadardruim, a son of Bracan, king of Britain, and brother of Dabheog. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
