Who was Cormac mac Cuilennáin?
Cormac mac Cuilennáin was an Irish bishop and was king of Munster from 902 until his death. He was killed fighting in Leinster, probably attempting to restore the fortunes of the kings of Munster by reimposing authority over that province.
Cormac was regarded as a saintly figure after his death, and his shrine at Castledermot, County Kildare, was said to be the site of miracles. He was reputed to be a great scholar, being credited with the authorship of the Sanas Cormaic, and the now-lost Psalter of Cashel, among other works. The reliability of some of the traditions concerning Cormac is doubtful.
