St. Erth of Cornwall (of Slane) (Erc, Ercus, Herygh, Urith) Died c. 512;
feast in Ireland is November 2. Saint Erth, the brother of Saint Uny and
Saint Ia (Ives) (f.d. February 3), was the only person to give homage to
Saint Patrick during the latter's confrontation with the druids on the
Hill of Slane. Patrick later ordained him a priest and bishop. A distich
ascribed to Saint Patrick relates:

"Bishop Erc, Whatever he judged was rightly judged: Whosoever gives a
just judgement Shall receive the blessing of bishop Erc."

Erth is said to have trained the young Saint Brendan the Navigator (f.d.
May 16) at his church in Tralee. Saint Erth is also

Dagobert II is said to have received his early education. The
12th-century martyrology of Gorman calls him 'Erc of Slane, bishop of
Lilcach and from Ferta Fer Feic beside Sid Truim from the West.' He

village of Saint Erth are dedicated under his patronage (Benedictines,
Farmer, Montague).
