Life
Mughron mac Ceannfaeladh, who died in 882, was abbot of Clonfert, a successor of Saint Brendan. His death is noted in the Annals of the Four Masters, but nothing else is known. The abbatial succession at Clonfert in that era is unclear, so it is not known who preceded or succeeded him. He is regarded as venerable in the Irish tradition, but the sources show no canonization.
