Doyle Clan - Saint Patrick Patron Saint of Ireland |
 | | They lived on the west coast of Britain, believed to be the area of Wales, with Hibernia (or Eirin) a short distance across the sea. |
| | Palladius, the first bishop assigned to convert the pagans of Eirin to Christianity, died suddenly upon his arrival and so Patricus (or Padriac as he was called by the Irish) was sent as a replacement, as second bishop, to do the church's work. |
| | The introduction says: What did not clash with the word of God in the written Law and the New Testament, and with the consciences of the believers, was confirmed in the laws of the Brehons by Patrick and by the ecclesiastics and the chieftains of Eirin; and this is the Senchus Mór. |
