Dubthach maccu Lugair

Who is Dubthach maccu Lugair?

Dubthach maccu Lugair, is a legendary Irish poet and lawyer who supposedly lived at the time of St Patrick's mission in Ireland and in the reign of Lóegaire mac Néill, high-king of Ireland. In contrast to the king and his druids, he is said to have readily accepted the new religion. This event has played a major part in Hiberno-Latina and Irish sources as representing the integration of native Irish learning with the Christian faith.
