## Life

Abbot of Glendalough at twenty-six and first Irish-born archbishop of Dublin, hostage as a boy and peacemaker all his life — negotiating between Irish kings and Norman invaders, wearing a hairshirt under his robes, feeding hosts of the poor. He died at Eu in Normandy on yet another embassy of peace, content to leave the world without a penny.
