Life
Saint Maelcoisne appears on 8 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The Law of Adamnan counts him among the sureties won for freeing women from bondage, but it is not known which Maelcoisne is meant: this one, the one of 15 October or the one of Ros Brannaibh on 28 December. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
