Life
On 20 August (old style), the Martyrology of Donegal records Motrenog of Rusgach. The text calls him an abbot. His father is given as Aenghus. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. No further details survive; the veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
