Rónán mac Áeda

  • fl. early 7th century
  • Rónán mac Áedo
  • bishops
  • (agents)
Irish bishop, a son of Áed, king of Leinster, and brother of Crimthann, king of Leinster (ob. 633). According to the genealogies, he is the great-grandfather of Cellach Cúalann (ob. 715), hence an ancestor of the Uí Chellaig Cúalann. The king of Leinster of the same name in the tale Fingal Rónáin may have been based on him, or his brother, but similar suggestions have been made in favour of Rónán mac Colmáin.
