Life

On 19 May (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Venerable Richeall daughter of Athracht, as a virgin. She is called daughter of Athracht, of the line of Laeghaire, son of Niall. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
