Life

Saint Maeldeith son of Droighen is commemorated on 13 November (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght. He is called a son of Droighen; bracketed notes cite Marianus for the names Fairbrigh and Colman of Magh Eo. Nothing more is recorded; the cult belongs to the undivided Church.
