The earliest mention of St. David is found in a tenth-century manuscript Of the
"Annales Cambriae", which assigns his death to A.D. 601. He was
prominent at the Synod of Brevi (Llandewi Brefi in Cardiganshire), which has
been identified with the important Roman military station, Loventium...
In Welsh-Deiniol, in Latin-Dainiolus and in English-Daniel.
Deiniol, born in the early 6th century, was an
important figure in the development of Christianity in
North
Wales. The son of a Celtic chieftain, he founded two monasteries,
both named
Bangor,
one of which was close to the modern town of that name...
St. Donald
lived in Olgivy, in
Forfarshire,
Scotland, in
the early part of the 8th century. Upon the death of his wife, he and his nine
daughters began to live a monastic lifestyle at home under his direction,
cultivating the land by hand, and eating barely bread and water once a day.
After St. Donald's repose, his daughters all entered a monastery in Abernethy,
founded by Ss. Darlugdach and Brigid, where they became known as the
Nine Maidens, or the Nine Holy Virgins.
