Féchín of Fore
Saint Féchín or Féichín (died 665), also known as Mo-Ecca, was a 7th-century Irish saint, chiefly remembered as the founder of the monastery at Fore (''Fobar''), County Westmeath.
==Sources==
Sources for his life and legend include Irish annals, martyrologies, genealogies and hagiographical works. Of the two surviving medieval ''Lives'', one was written in Latin, the other in Irish. The Latin ''Life'' was written ''c''. 1400 by Augustine mac Graidín, who belonged to the All Saints' Island monastery in Lough Ree.〔Stokes, "St Fechin of Fore", p. 3.〕 His main source appears to have been a ''Life'' originating in Féchín's monastery on Omey Island.〔 The Irish ''Life'' (''Betha Féchín Fabair'' "The Life of St Féchín of Fore") was written down by Nicol Óg, son of the abbot of Cong, in 1328 and it seems that parts of it go back to even earlier (Latin) sources.〔 The text may be seen as a combination of two texts. The first part is primarily concerned with the saint's position as a mediator and negotiator between the Luigne (or Luigni) of Connacht, of which he was supposedly a member, and the more powerful Luigne of Meath, on whose territory Fore Abbey was founded.〔Stalmans and Charles-Edwards, "(Meath, saints of (act. ''c''.400–''c''.900) )."〕 The second part focuses more attention on Leinster and the payment of tribute.〔 The Latin and Irish ''Lives'' both agree that Ailerán of Clonard, a contemporary of St Féchín, had composed an account of the saint's good works.〔 In the 17th century, John Colgan produced another Latin ''Life'' (the ''Vita seu supplementum''), for which he drew on three Irish ''Lives''.〔〔Stokes, "St Fechin of Fore", p. 4.〕
