When and where did Saint Brendan live?
Brendan is an Irish saint who is surrounded by fantasy, myth and legend; he was born near Tralee on Ireland's west coast in the early 6th century and brought up by a female saint called Ita. His main fame is in numerous alleged sea-voyages between Ireland and Scotland, then to England and Wales, supposedly using only tiny skin-covered coracles. There is even a claim that Brendan sailed to Greenland or even North America. He founded several monasteries including Clonfert where he is said to have directed "three thousand monks". He died in 578 AD. Sadly most of the "history" of St Brendan does not stand up to careful examination: his fabled voyage in search of the Garden of Eden, when he supposedly discovered America, was not written about until over 300 years after his death. The monastery at Clonfert is not nearly large enough to have housed 3,000 monks . . . and so on.
