Life

Venerable Fionntain son of Aedh is commemorated on 19 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called an abbot, that is, a son of Aedh Finnliath, of the race of Eoghan son of Niall. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
