Life

Saint Ernan son of Aedh is listed on 16 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal. An editor suspects he is Ernin, son of Aedh, of the line of Trial, son of Conall Cearnach. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
