Life

Saint Lonan of Trefoit is commemorated on 1 November (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght, the Felire of Oengus and the Martyrology of Gorman. The place is Trefoit in Bregha, on the Boinn. His father was Talmach and his mother Dustric, daughter of Truist, king of North Britain; the text links the place with King Art son of Conn. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.
