Life
Rechtnia was the twenty-seventh abbot of Clonmacnoise and died in 784. He succeeded Collbran, who died in 776. He was of the Sil Coirpre Crum of Ui Maine, like Cormac ua Cairbre Crom. During his term the monastery burned, apparently by accident. Snedriagail succeeded him. The sources show no veneration as a saint.
