Indract of Glastonbury
Irish Saint
Feast: 8 May (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Indract or Indracht was an Irish saint who, along with his companions, was venerated at Glastonbury Abbey, a monastery in the county of Somerset in south-western England. In the High Middle Ages Glastonbury tradition held that he had been an Irish pilgrim – a king's son – on his way back from Rome who was molested and killed by a local thegn after he had stopped off to visit the shrine of Saint Patrick. This tradition synchronised his life with that of King Ine (688–726), though historian Michael Lapidge has argued that he is most likely to represent a 9th-century abbot of Iona named Indrechtach ua Fínnachta.
