''Another Paternus was a bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zaragoza from 1040–1077.'' Padarn ((ラテン語:Paternus)) was an early 6th century sanctified British Christian abbot-bishop, the eponymous founder of St Padarn's Church, Llanbadarn Fawr,〔''Llanbadarn'', "Padarn's church".〕 Kingdom of Ceredigion, near present-day Aberystwyth, Wales. Also traditionally the first bishop of Braga, Saint Paternus of Avranches in Normandy appears to be the same person. Padarn also built a monastery in Vannes and is considered one of the seven founder saints of Brittany. Padarn's early ''vita'' is one of five insular and two Breton saints' lives that mention King Arthur independently of Geoffrey of Monmouth's ''Historia Regum Britanniae''.〔J.S.P. Tatlock, "The Dates of the Arthurian Saints' Legends", ''Speculum'' 14.3 (July 1939:345–365) pp. 349ff.〕 ==Life== The ''Vita Sancti Paterni'', a major source for biographical details of Padarn, may be an epitome of a previous, more extensive source. In it Padarn is Armorican by race, born to "Petran, his father, and Guean, his mother". His parents "dedicated themselves to Christ" and Petran left Letavia (modern Brittany) for Ireland. The boy elected to follow his example: he joined a fellowship of monks travelling to Britannia, founded a monastery on the Britannic shore then travelled to join his father in Ireland. At this time, as in many saint's live's of the era, there appears an aristocratic military function in Padarn's career, for among the travellers were Padarn's cousins, who appointed him the fourth leader of a troop, "you should rule over people for example of life". Padarn's spiritual countenance is sufficient to calm the armies of kings of two provinces; peace and unity spring up to the extent that, when woods are felled in one province, they fall of themselves in the other. In the ''Vita Sancti Paterni'' Padarn travels on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem with Saint David and Saint Teilo, gaining the gift of tongues on the way, for all three to be ordained bishops by the patriarch. There Paternus acquires the tunic that Arthur would covet. On their return, they amicably divided Britannia into three bishoprics. Padarn finally returned to Letavia, where his fame filled the region and "made peace" with the bishop Samson in Vannes, where Padarn his built a monastery and subsequently made a peace with the six bishops of Armorica, of which he now made a seventh. 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「Padarn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
