Life
Egnech, who died in 915, was abbot of Aran in Ireland, one of the few attested successors of Saint Enda and only the second so named since the saint's death in 530. His death is entered laconically in the annals, without details; his obituary calls him a bishop and anchorite. The sources found show no canonization, feast or miracles.
