Miraculous story which relates how the community of St Éimíne Bán at Ros Glaise (probably Monasterevin, Co. Offaly) received a charter of privileges from the king of Leinster. It is said to have been granted after Éimine and his 49 monks sacrificed their lives to save Bran úa Fáeláin (d. 693), king of Leinster, and 49 chiefs of the province from the plague.
