When he was about 16, he was captured from Britain by Irish raiders and taken as a
slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering
the Church, he returned to Ireland as an ordained bishop in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.
Your go poohbear.
