.Catholic AnswerThe legend of St. Dymphna follows the same course as other stories about a King who decides to marry his own daughter. In this particular case, she refused, and the King himself cut off her head. But it is just a legend, and there is no corroborative evidence that she ever existed nor that she is St. Damhnat of Ireland.
