O'Hanlon's notes
John O'Hanlon discusses Chuniald in his Lives of the Irish saints (1873). He notes that no special record exists of the acts of Saint Rupert's companions, Saints Chuniald and Gislar, if any such existed. Many writers refer to them as companions of Saint Rupert during his missionary career in Germany, so it may be assumed they were born in Ireland around the middle of the 7th century. However some, including the Hollandist Father Constantine Suyskens, thought that Rupert, Chuniald and Gisilar were natives of Gaul. Radler states that although the three were sent from eastern France to convert the Norici, they all were born in ancient Scotia or Hibernia. In 773 or 774 the relics of the saints were transferred to a church dedicated to Rupert in Salzburg. The relics were transferred again in 993 and 1315, but Chuniald is not mentioned in reports of the later transfers.
Saint Valentine, known as Saint Valentine, was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July 6. From the High Middle Ages his Saints' Day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy and beekeepers.
Breage or Breaca is a saint venerated in Cornwall and southwestern Britain. According to her late hagiography, she was an Irish nun of the 5th or 6th century who founded a church in Cornwall.

Saint Psalmodius, also known as Psalmet, Sauman, Saumay, was a 7th-century Christian hermit. Assumed to have been born to a noble family of Scotia, he became a disciple of Saint Brendan as a young boy. Psalmodius, whose original Celtic name is unknown, is said to have been lost at sea for three days as a young boy.
Madelgisilus or Mauguille was a medieval Irish saint.
Manchanof Mohill,, was an early Christian saint credited with founding many early Christian churches in Ireland. His life is obscured because many people named Manchan are found among the monastically-inclined Medieval Irish Christians, and the name is a diminutive of Irish: Manach Latin: Monachus, a monk. Manchan probably died of famine during volcanic winters caused by the extreme weather events of 535–536, which preceded the 6th century Justinian plague of Mohill. The Shrine of Manchan is a remarkable and unique example of Irish Urnes style art, adapted to Ringerike style, skillful in design and execution. Saint Manchan's feast day is celebrated 14 February by Orthodox Catholics, Roman Catholics, and Anglicans.
Finan Cam, Abbot of Kinnity was an early Irish saint associated with County Kerry, Ireland, who lived in the 6th century AD, and possibly the 7th century. To distinguish him from other saints of the same name the appellation of Cam or "crooked" has been given to him, either because he was stooped or because he had a squint. His feast day is 7 April.
Saint Macculind was an early Irish saint who was abbot or bishop of Lusk.
