and his host was so heartily disposed to embrace the faith
that S. Patrick baptized him and all his family. A son of
his—whom at his baptism the saint, considering his sweet
disposition, called Benignus—became so attached to Patrick
as to insist on following him. S. Patrick received him
with pleasure, and thenceforth Benignus became one of his
favourite disciples.
In or about the year 442 S. Patrick is said to have
founded a monastery at Druimlias, and to have placed over
it his pupil Benignus, who, it is added, governed it twenty
years. On the death of S. Patrick, about 465, Benignus was
with unanimous consent of the clergy and laity raised to the
see of Armagh. He had been S. Patrick's right-hand man,
and he worthily succeeded him. Parts of Ireland into
which S. Patrick had not penetrated, such as Kerry and
Clare, had heard the Gospel from the lips of Benignus.
There is some difficulty about fixing the date of his death.
The Irish annalists are agreed in fixing as the date the year
468. The " Tripartite Life of S. Patrick" puts it later; but
the annalists are probably correct. A story is told of his
having resigned his see and gone to Glastonbury, but it is
without foundation. He died at Armagh and was buried
there, after having received the last sacraments from the
hands of Jarlatli, who succeeded him.
