Life

Saint Lughaidh son of Aenghus is commemorated on 2 November (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. His father Aenghus was king of Munster, the one through whose foot Patrick thrust his crozier while baptizing him. Lughaidh was of Druim Inesclainn in Ulster. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.

Commemorated the same day November 2
