Indract of Glastonbury

Indract or Indracht was a saint who, along with his companions, was venerated at Glastonbury Abbey, a monastery in the county of Somerset in southwestern England. In the High Middle Ages Glastonbury tradition held that he had been an Irish pilgrim a kings son on his way back from Rome who was molested and killed by a local thegn after he had stopped off to visit the shrine of St Patrick. This tradition synchronised his life with that of King Ine , though historian Michael Lapidge has argued that he is most likely to represent a 9thcentury abbot of Iona named Indrechtach ua Fnnachta.
