Life
Saint Faithlenn son of Aedh is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.
The Donegal text calls him son of Aedh Diamhan and traces his line to Core, son of Lughaidh, and on to Eoghan Mor, son of Oilioll Olum.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 4 June. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
No further details of his life survive in the sources consulted.
