title = "Columbanus's Ulster education",
abstract = "This chapter looks at the context for Columbanus{\textquoteright}s time at Bangor and in particular the possible influence on him of the British bishop Uinniau and his own abbot, Comgall. Uinniau{\textquoteright}s network linked him with both the British Church of Gildas and the emerging U{\'i} N{\'e}ill dynasties, while Comgall was a member of the Cruithnian people of Antrim. By the time Columbanus came within their orbit, both men were located in the core territory of the kingdom of the Ulaid, in modern County Down. The chapter argues that the specifics of the location and personalities involved proved to be defining influences on Coumbanus{\textquoteright}s development.",
