Acallam na senórach ll. 1205–1234: Patrick restores Áed mac Muiredaig to life

Short description

Patrick restores Áed mac Muiredaig to life, ed. Whitley Stokes, ‘Acallamh na senórach’ in Irische Texte mit Wörterbuch... (1900): lines 1205–1234; tr. Ann Dooley • Harry Roe, Tales of the elders of Ireland (1999): 38. Áed, the young son of the king of Connacht (Muiredach mac Fínnachta), dies suddenly after a game of hurling. His death is deeply mourned. Muiredach and his wife Aífe, daughter of the king of Ulster, go to Patrick, hoping or expecting that he can bring their son back to life. Patrick is moved by Aífe’s grief and that of other mourners with her. By administering three drops of consecrated water to the dead boy’s mouth, he restores him back to life. The people show fealty to Patrick and according to one version, lavish many gifts on him.
