Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Venerable Sarnat daughter of Maelan on 3 May (Old Style), as an abbess. The editor suspects she is the Sarnat named by Moling in the Bóramha history; Gorman calls her wealthy. The same name also appears in Gorman's martyrology. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
