Cathróe of Metz
Saint Cathróe (circa 900–971) was a monk and abbot. His life is recorded in a hagiography written soon after his death by a monk at the monastery of Saint Felix at Metz, where Cathróe was abbot. Miracles of healing were attributed to Cathróe during his life, and he was considered a saint after his death.
As well as the information it contains on events in Lotharingia and Germany, and on attitudes of the time, Cathróe's life is of particular interest to historians for the light it sheds on southern Scotland in the 10th century.
==Origins==
One clue to Cathróe's background, his name, has also proved to be a stumbling block. In his ''Life'', it is commonly spelt as ''Cathroe'', but other forms are given such as ''Cadroe'' (heading) and ''Kaddroe'' (3x), which come closer to those used later at Metz (''Cadroe'', ''Kadroe'').〔David Dumville, "St Cathróe of Metz." p. 172 n. 1.〕 His biographer explains it as meaning "a soldier in the Lord's camp(s)" (''bellator in castris Dominis'').〔§ VI; David Dumville, "St Cathróe of Metz." p. 175 n. 18.〕 Some scholars have proposed that what the continental monks heard and transcribed was a Brythonic, more specifically Old Cumbric name, the first element of which represents Cumbric ''Cat'' "battle".〔A.O. Anderson, ''Early sources''. p. lxxiii and 432 n. 2; Alan MacQuarrie, "Catroe", who also raises the possibility that the name was Pictish.〕 However, following John Colgan's lead, David Dumville favours a Goidelic etymology. He points out that the personal name Cathróe is attested in Old and Middle Irish and can be explained as a compound meaning "battle-field" (''Cath'', cognate with Welsh ''cat'', + ''róe'').〔David Dumville, "St Cathróe of Metz." p. 172 n. 1. Peter E. Busse, "Catroe/Cadroe", supports a Celtic derivation on the basis of the first element, but remains agnostic on this point.〕
Cathróe was born circa 900. His father's name is given as Fochereach, a nobleman, his mother was Bania, who came from a similar background. After the birth of a brother with the Goidelic name Mattadán, Cathróe was fostered with his paternal uncle Beanus (Saint Bean; there were several Gaelic saints of this name).
