Iarlaithe mac Treno (also called Earlahy, Hierlath, Iarlaid, Iarlaide, Iarlaithi, Iarlathe, Iarlathi, Jarlaide, Jarlaithe, Jarlath, Yrlathei, Yrlatheus) b. c.439 - d. 11 February 481, was the Bishop of Armagh, Ireland from 468 to 11 February 481. ==Genealogy and Birth== Iarlaithe was a member of the Dál Fiatach, a ruling dynasty centered on Downpatrick in east Ulster who were named after Fíatach Finn, a High King of Ireland who reigned in the 1st century A.D. Several of Iarlaithe’s close family were saints. His twin brother was Saint Séadna, whose feast day is 16 June. His paternal uncle was St. Laoghaire of Dún. His paternal first cousins were St. Eoghan of Killchlethe, St. Niall of Killchlethe, St. Dichu of Saul (Feast 29 April), St. Duthracht of Nendrum (Feast 16 May), St. Ailill of Moville (Feast 12 January) and St. Ross of Dun da Leithglass (Feast 7 April). Iarlaithe’s genealogy is- “''Iarlaithe -i. epscop m Treana m Fecc m lomchadha m Breasail m Siorchadha m Fiattaigh Finn m Daire m Dluthaigh m Detsin m Eathach m Sin m Rosin m Triuin m Roitriuin m Airnil m Maine m Forgo m Fearadhaig m Oilella érann m Fiacha firmara m Aonghasa tuirmigh temhrach m Echach foiltletain m Oilella caisfhiaclaigh m Connla cruaidcelgaigh m Irereo gleofhataigh m Melge molbthaigh m Cobthaigh caoilbregh m Ughoine moir''”〔Genealogiae Regum et Sanctorum Hiberniae, Paul Walsh (Ed.), Dublin 1918, p. 83, section 15.〕 This genealogy is also confirmed in the Naemsenchus Náemh nÉrenn as- “''Iarlaithe mac Trena truim dias ciallach nachar traicc treoin do Dail fFiatach na fireoin''”.〔Naemsenchus Náemh nÉrenn, in Irish Texts, Fraser, Grosjean & O’Keeffe (Ed’s.), London 1931, Fasc. III, p. 62, section 142.〕 However the genealogy seems incomplete as their obits imply about 10 generations between Iarlaithe and Fiatach Finn rather than the five generations given in the genealogies. The Vita tripartita Sancti Patricii gives the following account of Iarlaithe’s birth.- ‘''Patrick once went on the road of Midluachair, to go into the land of Ulster, and there he met with wrights who were felling ''a yew-tree. Patrick saw that the blood came through the palms of the slaves at the felling. “Whence are ye?”; saith Patrick. ''“We are slaves” say they, “to Trian son of Fiacc, son of Amalgad, a brother of Trichem’s. We are in bondage and in great ''tribulation, and we are not allowed even to sharpen our irons against a flagstone, so that it may be the worse for us, and ''so that it may be the more difficult. Wherefore blood comes through our hands.”; Patrick blessed the irons so that they ''became the more easily used, and he went to the king, to Rath-Trena. And Patrick fasted against him. Trian did nothing ''for him. Patrick turned on the morrow from the fortress.He cast his spittle on the rock which lay on his road, and the rock ''broke into three. A third part of the spittle was then flung a thousand paces. Patrick said:”Two thirds of the fasting on the ''rock, a third on the king and on the fort and on the district. There will be of Trian’s children neither king nor crown-prince. He himself shall perish early and shall go down into bitter hell.” Trian himself went to bind and beat the slaves ''who had given an account of him. His horses drag him and his charioteer off in his chariot, and went into the lake. Loch ''Trena is its name; that was his last fall. He will not come out of that lake until the vespers of Doomsday; and it will not ''be ''for happiness even then. The king’s wife went after Patrick. She repented, she fell on her knees. Patrick blessed her ''womb and her children, namely, Setne, son of Trian and larlaide, son of Trian. Sechnall baptized Setne. Patrick baptized ''larlaide; and Patrick said that he would afterwards be a successor of his.''’〔The Tripartite Life of Patrick, Whitley Stokes (ed.), London 1887, Part I, pp.219-221.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iarlaithe mac Treno」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
