He became a monk in Leinster, and eventually, an Irish historian. He is best known for his Vita sancti Patricii, known in English as The Life of Saint Patrick, one of the first accounts of the famous fifth-century saint, and which credits Patrick with the conversion of Ireland in advance of the spread of monasticism. This work was dedicated to Bishop Aedh of Slébte, who was also the one who suggested the life be written, and was the patron for the work. Muirchú’s work should not be dismissed as historically inaccurate because, though it cannot positively tell us about the period in which Patrick lived, it does show us a lot about the period in which it was composed, the seventh century. Therefore, most scholars agree that while several miraculous episodes are included, the work is probably as accurate as can be expected given the sources available."@en }
