Life

Seven Bishops of Tamhnach Buadha are listed in the Martyrology of Donegal under 21 July (old style). They are said to be seven bishops, sons of one father, of the race of Fiacha Suighdhe, son of Feidhlimidh Reachtmhar. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
