58 LIVES OF THE IRISH SAINTS. [July 5.
It seems to us, no better means exist for solving the difficulties here pre- sented, than to suppose, that certain inventions have found the position of facts in the biographies accessible to us, unless we are to admit their appli- cation to three distinct Modwennas 35 however, only two of these appear to
;
be traceable, with any great degree of probability ; therefore, our conjec- ture is, that the Irish Calendars have recognised a St. Modwenna, otherwise
called Darerca, who lived contemporaneously with St. Patrick, the great
IrishApostle,andwhosefeastisascribedtothe6thofJuly; whiletheotheris

According to her Acts, as written by Capgrave, her father was a king. 39 She had first embraced a religious life in her own country. There she was illustrious for sanctity and miracles. She also trained many pious souls in the fear and love of God. She is said to have established a nunnery in Ireland at Celistline, and at other places. 4° She miraculously cured Alfred, the illustrious son of King Ethelwolf, from a grievous infirmity. He was the fourth son of the king, by his first wife Osburg, and he was born a. d. 849, the thirteenth of his father's reign. When only five years old, the young Prince Alfred was sent to Rome, where he was con-
firmed by Pope Leo IV. *

Afterwards, during the successive reigns of his
three elder

had acquired such a reputation for wisdom, magnanimity and integrity, that he acted as viceroy under each of them, until he came to the throne a. d. 872.

Afterwards, it is stated, that she passed into England. St. Athea said to have been her kinswoman —accompanied her. A foolish story is told of Modwenna and several holy virgins passing over to a castle called Dagann in Britain, in a miraculous manner, and that afterwards they visited the king there in his villa, called Streneshalen. 49 Then, it is said, that the king was greatly rejoiced, and that besides entrusting his sister to them for her education, he gave that villa with lands and endowments. In the time of King Ethelwolf,5° St. Modwena is said to have gone into England. His sister s 1 —others state his daughter—Edgith or Edith, he committed during her childhood to the care of this holy Irish virgin, Modewine,*2 who in turn transferred her to Athea. From her, Edith is said to have learned the Psaltery, while St. Modwenna dwelt there for three months. 53 Afterwards, Edith founded the famous nunnery of Polesworth,*4 where she lived, died and was honourably buried, so that from her the place was subsequently called St. Edith's of Polesworth. ss This was near the forest of Arden, in Warwick- shire. There, too, she collected around her a pious community that con- formed to her rule. 56 From King Ethelwolf, as we are informed, St. Mod- wennaobtainedsomeland,forthepurposeofbuildingamonastery. The pious Modwena did not confine herself, however, to the erection of this
foundation. She built another religious house at Trentshall,57 also called Strenshall.

st She appears to have been much younger than her brother Ethelwolf.
52 The following is Holingshed's account of this saint : "In this season one Modwen,
a virgin in Ireland, was greatly renowned in the world, unto whom King Ethelwolfe sent his son Alfred to be cured of a disease that was thought incurable ; but by her means he recoverd health, and therefore, when her monastrie was destroyed in Ireland, Modwen came over into England, unto whom King

Modwenna went into Scotland, to visit King Conagal her kinsman,s8
and this statement causes Father John Pinius to suspect, —that there had been
three distinct virgins bearing the name of Modwenna one belonging to
Ireland, one to England, and one to Scotland. 5?
At least, it seems to us a
very reasonable supposition, that while one holy virgin named Moduenna
remained altogether in Ireland, the present Modwenna extended the benefit of
her religious propaganda to England as also to Scotland. But, it is indeed a
very difficult matter to arrange the order of narrative and of time, in reference to
her stay in either country. We are told, that Ratheri, Cobo,Bollan and Choilli,
with other chiefs, visited her at this time. 60 While in Scotland, no less than
three churches did St. Modwenna build in Galloway; one of these is called

set out with her on a journey to Rome, where they intended to visit the shrines of Saints Peter, Paul and Andrew. On the way, they came to the River Trent,
which passed by a mountain, called Calvechif, in the Anglo-Saxon language. There, it is said, they built a church at the foot of a mountain, in Latin called Mons Calvus. This was dedicated to the Apostles, St. Peter and

indications for these visits are too vague and undefined to be very readily
trusted. The first of these pilgrimages is said to have taken place after her
return to Arderne—it is to be presumed from Scotland—
and where she had been accompanied by her sisters Athea and Ite. Yet, this account seems to be strangely enough jumbled into a second visit from Andressea, and with a stillgreaternumberofcompanions. Againweareinformed,thatattheage of one hundred and ten years, Movenna undertook a third journey to Rome, when she returned to Scotland ; but this latter narrative seems to be a con- fused version of the two former journeys, which proves beyond doubt, that the whole of Conchubran's Life of St. Modwenna has been interpolated, and without judgment or discrimination on the part of the interpolator or interpo- lators. While making these three penitental pilgrimages to Rome, it is stated, likewise, that she went all the way barefoot, and clothed with a rough hair
shirt. 70 It may be admitted, indeed, that in accordance with the usages of her age, she had visited Rome, at least on one occasion ; and probably, her desire to found or extend her various religious enterprises furnished a neces- sity for seeking an interview with the Sovereign Pontiff, who then presided in the chair of St. Peter.
Returning into England, Modwenna chose for hei dwelling-place a little island, situated in the River Trent. At this time it was a desert. There she
1
built a small oratory in honour of St. Andrew. ?
This gave to that island the name of Andrcsey. In it, the pious Modwenna lived for seven years as a hermitess. Lazar and Athea also lived there with her. Afterwards, Mod- wenna visited Ireland, as we are told, and at this time paganism and crime all England. 72 The fame of St. Modwenna's miracles drew many to that place, which she had selected as the site for her nunnery. This undesired concurrence was the occasion, however, for her leaving it. She seems to have returned again to Lanfortin, where she had a miraculous intuition regarding her approaching end. Then she sent messengers to her religious,Athea,OsidandEde,thattheyshouldcometoher. Theyobeyed this summons, and remained with her for some days. Meanwhile, the anti- cipation of her death spread among the people, and her increasing infirmities began to fill them with profound grief. Among others, it is stated, that Congal, King of Scotia at the time, with certain magnates of his kingdom, visited the monastery. They are said to have requested her, through a Bishop Ronan, who was her brother, that she should yet remain among them for one year, and not leave them as orphans too soon, and they felt assured, that if she preferred such a petition to heaven, it would be granted. However, she
declared, that her time had now come, and she then imparted her blessing to
her distinguished visitors and to all the people. Already, although her death took place in Scotland, she had foretold, her body should be interred after her

death,73 at Andressy. To those who were present at her death-bed, she is said to have declared, that had their request been conveyed to her a few days
before, it might possibly be granted; but it so happened, she had a vision of the
two great Apostles of our Lord, who had come to her on that day with a
message, that they were about to convey her soul into Heaven. She declared,
that they had brought her a white shroud, beautifully ornamented with gold ;
and that with such illustrious companions, it was well she should be intro-
duced to the mansions of perpetual bliss. She then bequeathed certain relics,
such as her girdle, a cloak of sheep-skin, and certain other articles which
belonged to her, and she requested these, with her baculus, to be conveyed
to another place. She stated, furthermore, that should those people who
possessed them not engage in hostile incursions on the lands of others ; her
relics should prove to be a shield of defence against any enemies, who might
seektoinvadeortodevastatetheirterritory. Shewasthusfavouredinherlast
infirmity, with this consoling vision of the holy Apostles, St. Peter and St.
Paul, before she parsed away to bliss, having declared, also, that her protection
should be as generously afforded to all her devout clients after death, as during
her lifetime. Those promises, and words spoken by the Bishop, assuaged
the grief of the people present ; so that when he bestowed a benediction
on them, and when they had assisted at Modwenna's holy obsequies, all pre-
pared to start for their respective hoines. 74 She is said to have attained the
extraordinary age of one hundred and thirty years;" but, as the account of
such great longevity likewise applies in a still greater degree to St. Monenna
or Darerca, venerated at Slieve Cullin on the day following, it seems a matter
of great difficulty to decide any point, even regarding its qualified credibility.
She is said to have died on the of 6 and towards the close of the 5th July,?
ninth century. It is related, that soon after her death, St. Modwenna appeared to one of her sisters, named Taunat or Tannat, and urged her to admonish the nuns, regarding the infraction of silence without doors, and which silence their rule enjoined. This message was conveyed to them, and after a pre- paration for eternity lasting for seven days, Tannat passed away to bliss with her revered mother and former superioress. Again, it is said, that after St. Modwenna's death, numbers of Hibernians, Scots and Angles came to the place where her remains lay ; they were about to engage in combat for possession of the holy virgin's body, until Columchille appeared to them, and proposed an expedient, whereby the tumult was appeased. But, indeed, this whole fable is so evidently concocted and so poorly invented, that intrinsic evi- dencesofitslegendarycharacterareeasilydetected. Sometimeafterherdeath, the blessedremains were translated from Andresey,to the church of that Abbey, wheretheywerefinallydeposed. WhentheAbbeyofBurton-upon-Trent was founded, a. d. 1004, the remains of St. Modwenna were solemnly removed thither. Matthew of Westminster 77 informs us, that in his day, St. Mod- wena's tomb was illustrated by frequent miracles.
The feast of St. Moduenna was very religiously observed, and it is to be found noted, at the 5th of July, among the Scottish Entries in the Kalen- dar of David Camerarius. 78 There is still extant a Hymn to St. Modwenna or Moinnea, among the Clarendon Manuscripts. 79 In England, this holy

woman was specially venerated. At Burton-on-Trent, the Protestant church is still named after her, while the site of her chapel is yet called St. Mod-
wen'sOrchard. AccordingtoEnglishtraditions,thevirgin'sreligiousestab- lishment in Ireland was a renowned one, towards the close of the ninth cen- tury. It is said to have been destroyed, and probably this was one of Ireland's holy fanes, that suffered desecration during the Danish reign of terror. The foundation of a Catholic school, which long served for Catholic religious worship, at Burton, has been, in our time, followed up, by the erec- tion of a handsome new church, dedicated to our St. Medwenna, and to the
80
Blessed Virgin Mary.
SomemetricalLatinlinesremain,81 andwhichareintendedtoepitomizethe
chief incidents relating to this holy virgin. It should be desirable, indeed, that we had a more reliable biography of St. Modwenna, than any which has come within our cognizance. There can be no reasonable doubt, that she was greatly distinguished for her virtue and miracles, during that period in which she lived. The more then do we regret, that so many obscurities and con- fused traditions conceal from us her real Acts, which should give satisfaction and edification to the pious reader could they have been authoritatively recorded.
Article II. —St. Etain, Edania or Etavin, Virgin, of Tuaim Noa,
now Tumna, in Moylurg, County of Roscommon. We find only a few
indications of this holy woman, and these throw little light on her period.
A festival in honour of Etain, virgin, of Tuama noadh, appears in the Martyr-
12
ology of Tallagh, at the 5th of July. Her name is Eidin or HeMdin, accord-
ing to John 0'Donovan,3 and she is regarded as the patron saint of Tumna parish, 4 in the barony of Boyle, and county of Roscommon. However, the present holy virgin appears to have been more popularly known, under the designation of Etavin. In the Martyrology of Marianus O'Gorman, she is commemorated as the fair Edaina, of full and immaculate virginity, and belonging to Tuaim-Noa, in the territory of Magh-Luire, on the banks of the River Buill, now the Boyle. She is noted, likewise, as Edania or Edoena, Virgin, of Tuaim-Noadh, and her festival is entered by the Bollandists,s at this date. Her place is called Tuaim mnd6 in the Annals of the Four Masters, at the year 1249,7 and this means " the tomb of the woman ;" while, according to Mr. O'Donovan, it seems to have been the name of that place
