Felim Rachtmar: It is singular to remark how the call to a life of virginity was felt and corresponded with first in this family in Ireland after it was Christianized. As St. Ité was descended from Fiacha, a son of this wise Monarch, so the illustrious St. Bridget was (see p. 43) descended from Fiacha, another son of Felim, and brother of Conn of the Hundred Battles. St. Brigid was born at Fochard (now Faughart), near Dundalk, about A.D. 453, where her parents bappened to be staying at the time; but their usual place of residence was Kildare, where, A.D. 483, she established the famous Monastery Of "Kildare," which signifies the Church of the Oak. \emdash MISS CUSACK
St. Ité or Idé is often called the Brigid of Munster; she was born about A.D. 480, and was the first who founded a convent in Munster, in a place called Clooncrail: the name of which was afterwards changed to "Kill-Ide," now called Killedy, a parish in the county Limerick. \emdash JOYCE
