Riagail of Bangor

Saint Riagail of Bangor, also called Reghuil or Ragallach, was abbot of the monastery of Bangor, in County Down in Ireland, and reposed in the year 881. He lived in the 9th century, at a time when Bangor had been ravaged by the Northmen; during his rule the monastery seems to have recovered somewhat.

The Martyrology of Tallaght records on 11 June a festival in honor of Riagail of Bennchair (Bangor). The Annals of the Four Masters enter the death of "Ragallach", abbot of Beannchair, in the year 881. The Martyrology of Donegal also names him on the same day, and the feast of Saint Regail of Bangor is also found in Reeves's Calendar. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
