Ailín of Cennrígmonaid

Ailín of Cennrígmonaid

Ailín of Cennrígmonaid is the seventh alleged Bishop of Cennrígmonaid, equivalent to later day St. Andrews. He is mentioned in the bishop-lists of the 15th century historians Walter Bower and Andrew of Wyntoun as the successor of Máel Ísu II. [John Macqueen, Winifred MacQueen, & D.E.R. Watt, (eds.), "Scottichronicon by Walter Bower in Latin and English", Vol. 3, (Aberdeen, 1995), pp. 344-5, 463, where the translators wrongly translate his predecessor's name, given in the Latin as "Malisius", as "Maelbrigde"; see also, Andrew of Wyntoun, "The Original Chronicle", line 2549, available online [http://www.lib.utexas.edu/epoetry/wyntouna.q1c/wyntouna.q1c-1.html here] ] We have no direct dates for Ailín's episcopate, but the indirect evidence for his predecessors suggests that he was bishop in the early 11th century. [see articles on Fothad I, Máel Ísu I, Cellach II, Máel Muire, and Máel Ísu II.] Name occurs in Latin form as "Alwinus", the form for the Anglo-Saxon name Ælfwine, although it may be a form for Alpín. A similar name, Alguine, occurs in the "Book of Deer", and two Mormaers of Lennox had the name Ailín, similarly rendered as "Alwinus". [Kenneth H. Jackson (ed), "The Gaelic Notes in the Book of Deer: The Osborn Bergin Memorial Lecture 1970", (Cambridge (1972), pp. 65-6.]
