Iarlaithe mac Loga
Saint Iarlaithe mac Loga, also known as Jarlath (''fl.'' 6th century), was an Irish priest and scholar from Connacht, remembered as the founder of the monastic School of Tuam and patron saint of the Archdiocese of Tuam. No medieval ''Life'' for Iarlaithe is extant, but sources for his life and cult include genealogies, martyrologies, the Irish ''Lives'' of St Brendan of Clonfert and a biography compiled by John Colgan in the 17th century.
==Background==
The Irish genealogies record the existence of two saints named Iarlaithe: Iarlaithe son of Lugh (''Iarlaithe m. Loga''), founder of Tuam, and Iarlaithe son of Trian (''Iarlaithe m. Trena''), bishop of Armagh.〔Mac Giolla Easpaig, "Early Ecclesiastical Settlement Names of County Galway" (1996), pp. 802-3.〕 Iarlaithe of Tuam is said to have belonged to the Conmhaícne, who ruled over the greater part of what would become the parish of Tuam.〔〔 The other saint is said to have belonged to the Dál Fiatach in east Ulster.〔 He is identified as the third Bishop of Armagh, that is after Patrick's heir Benignus and the ''Annals of Ulster'' and ''Innisfallen'' record his death in the year 481.〔〔''(Annals of Ulster )'' s.a. 481, ''(Annals of Innisfallen )'' s.a. 481, ''(Annals of the Four Masters )'' s.a. 481.〕
In the two Irish ''Lives'' of St Brendan, possibly of the 12th century, Iarlaithe is called a son of Lug, son of Trén, son of Fiacc, son of Mochta, and the First ''Life'' in the Book of Lismore continues the pedigree by calling Mochta a son of Bresal, son of Siracht, son of Fiacha the Fair.〔First Irish ''Life'' of St Brendan, ed. and tr. Stokes, ''Lives of saints'', pp. 105-6 and 251.〕〔Second Irish ''Life'' of St Brendan, ed. and tr. Plummer, ''Bethada náem nÉrenn'', vol. 1: 47-8, vol 2: pp. 47-8 (ix §§ 21-2).〕 Both ''Lives'' substitute Imchada for Mochta and on this basis, Séamus Mac Mathúna argues that they go back to an original which conflates the genealogy of Iarlaithe mac Loga with that of his namesake in Armagh.〔Mac Mathúna, "The Irish Life of Saint Brendan", p. 134 note 40.〕 Dónall Mac Giolla Easpaig suggests, however, that the saints could refer to one and the same person:
() both are given as the third bishop of Armagh () placename evidence from the Tuam area would tend to corroborate () view () the evidence suggests that there was a strong Patrician and, consequently, a strong Armagh influence in the Tuam area from the earliest Christian period () the fact that Iarlaithe was a bishop like Benignus of Kilbennan and Felartus of Donaghpatrick, would further indicate that Tuam () would have predated Brendan of Clonfert by almost a century.〔
